RE: Psychology Addict # 55 | The Role Biology Plays in Defining Who We Are - A Critical Discussion.

I have a friend who believes that pretty much everything we do is the result of chemicals in our brains. I can't decide if this is a liberating view or an imprisoning view.

    I believe in that too @geke 😊. I think it becomes an imprisoning view if we believe that biology determines what we do, or who we are/became. But, this is not so. We are active agents with the ability to act and rationalise our own thoughts, mood and their corresponding behaviours. And this is because of high-order cognitive and metacognitive functions, which result from neuronal activities :)

    I wish you guys a wonderful holiday in Denmark. Well, I know it’s already wonderful 😊❤️ Much love to you two and the boys.
