But that's exactly my point. I'm not trying to compel people that the answer that I think I can see is right for them. I'm trying to convince people that the answer I think I see is actually not dogged by some paradox that makes it unviable. It's too cumbersome to live by it. But it's, you know, just like the example of the baseball game. It's made of atoms and energy.

And you could imagine commentators sitting there describing the energy and the material in, you know, the object. And it would be the worst, most cumbersome commentary at a sports event conceivable.

Right.

Yeah, I agree. Another example. Let us agree that love is... a profoundly, I'm struggling for words even good enough to describe it, is a profoundly transformative property of life that is as close to a North Star as a human being can have. And I don't mean just romantic love, familial love, love of country, all of these things. Love is this tremendously powerful force.

Now let us say there's actually a lot of neurochemistry that we can describe relative to love. Which story do I want people living by? Oh, definitely the narrative one in which you just simply surrender to the power of this thing and you allow it to be a guide. That's definitely, I don't want to live amongst people who view love as just a bunch of chemical reactions, yada, yada, yada, right?

That's a horrifying dystopia. But it doesn't make it untrue that love is mediated through neurochemistry.
