Don’t get me wrong we still have free-will, but soo much of our behaviour is dictated by very surface-level factors that we often aren’t conscious of.
Maybe I’m just hyper-self-aware, but knowing this leaves me feeling empty as fuck. Like the fact that your feelings of loneliness are purely a response to a lack of a basic human need for example, your loneliness doesn’t directly say anything about you as a person, it’s biological.
This same logic can actually be applied to a lot of things in life when you really think about it, your mind and body is constantly trying to align yourself with what would be biologically healthy.
Maybe it’s just in my head, but this realisation is depressing. How the fuck are any of these biological needs mine? I never decided for them to be here, so how the fuck do we even draw a line between which biological needs truly belong to us and which don’t? It doesn’t make sense to me.
