Original post by NathanielleAhem... Two remarks:
1) If you are so into science, then you should know, that the amount we actually do know about biochemistry is so small, that making the assumptions you do, to be able to explain things and prove others wrong, is not exactly ridiculous, but to a certain extent: yes.
2) Calling someone who acts other than the way your favorite studies would suggest brain damaged is very simple minded and not like a good scientist would work, who is really interested in finding the solution.
3) Anecdotical evidence simply shows, that the current knowledge is not sufficient to explain (and thus predict!!!) human behaviour or also the different values which different cultures developed.
And yes, I personally think it is hiliarious to explain me, how I should behave and that my reasons are not the ones, I think they are. If biochemistry would be so simple, as you put it, than we would act otherwise and that different.
