RE: NOVELTY. DOES IT REALLY "EXIST"?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
But man is a much more complex being just like his environment, other people, planetary influences and so on make him think thoughts, experience feelings or reflect on them and question his life and the opinions of others.
I talk to people who take antidepressants, for example. They say: "Since I have been taking the pills I feel more balanced, but at the same time I can neither cry nor laugh heartily. I miss it, but I'm afraid to get these emotions back in their full strength."
You can already see from this that "simple" hormonal manipulation is not enough. People also always approach their psychological impressions, have contradictory thoughts and emotions in one and the same situation.
You cannot simulate pregnancy, because what is really missing is the growing life in the woman. Where nothing has settled there, no connection can develop.
The fact alone that there is a life forming in the womb and the fact that these two - the new life and the mother - are forming a unity with each other cannot be simulated. A pregnancy lasts nine months. You cannot simulate that the belly begins to grow, the breasts as well, just like all the other countless changes that a pregnancy brings about.
For such a simulation, you would have to put a woman in a coma and then try to produce all the hormonal substances that fake such a thing. However, you would still not have an embryo that in turn affects the entire organism of the woman. You would not have the pressure of a baby's weight on the organs and so on.
A visitor who came into the room and saw the woman lying there in a coma would never say, "Oh, look, a pregnant woman."
Pregnancy also includes the social environment, the reactions of fellow human beings who have a decisive influence on it. If the pregnant woman experiences a benevolent environment, this will also have an effect on her hormonal and other biochemical processes in the body. She will react emotionally to the outside world.
Pregnancy is an excellent example because it puts an end to non-sense, a situation that can only happen in the same way and not in a simulated way.
yes, dreams are different. While sleeping and dreaming everything can be possible. Also, tripping is different.
Yes. Gestation and (strong) emotion are electrochemical interactions.
Bearing your own child is one of the most rewarding experiences possible.
Raising an adopted newborn is one of the most rewarding experiences possible.
I just used the terms "biochemical" and "hormones" because of you, not because of me. So that you can understand me. But I actually prefer not talking about biochemicals or hormones as those are empty terms for me.
Emotions are not electrochemical interactions, at least not for me. Emotions for you to see are "crying", "laughing", or "sobbing", "giggling", or "frowning", "raging" or "feeling sad" - But electrochemical processes you cannot sense, why altering language to something abstract when the non-abstract tells it directly?
It saddens me. I feel that the world around me wants to be de-humanized and trans-humanized. I don't want to live in this kind of world. I don't understand it...
Your immediate, visceral experience of living and breathing is authentic.
At somepoint we will be able to create an artificial (lucid/matrix-style) dream experience.
This will be especially therapeutic for the elderly and the disabled.
This will also undoubtedly be used as a form or entertainment for those who feel trapped in their oppressive tiny lives.
However it will not be the same as what you are feeling now.
It will be like a dream.
That's the difference.
How old are you?
Probably the same age as yourself.
