You're forgetting oxytocin. Technically I'm just a social ape seeking to fulfill primal desires for grouping, survival, and entertainment. I know I'm a biological machine, chemicals pumping around in a skull. I know that every nuance of everything I experience is because of that hunk of meat in my head, but I just don't think that makes any of my experiences meaningless.
You can always look at everything from a way to make it seem meaningless to distance yourself and dry up life, but I find that annoying and stupid. I like to look at the purely scientific side of it, the purely physical explanation that is devoid of how the actual experience feels, but I do that for my own enrichment and entertainment and I feel sorry for anyone that it detracts from the experience for.
I know that it was all a bunch of chemicals, but so is what's happening when I type this. So is every single aspect of my human experience. So what? It's meaningful because I feel it is meaningful. The meaning is a phenomenon occurring in my brain and is not rendered pointless because it is not mechanical or unexplained.
When you have sex, is your only thought "my penis is getting hard to stick inside the vagina, and the friction is to cause me to ejaculate so that my sperm can enter an egg cell and produce a child because I am an animal seeking reproduction"? Or do you actually live the animal experience and enjoy it?
this actually has happened to me almost every time i date someone where it's not just a one-night-stand
there's a moment where i'm suddenly wanting to spend the rest of my fucking life with this girl,
then things fall apart,
and then i go from wanting to spend the rest of my life with this girl to fucking someone else within just a couple weeks
