If you take warm water, you have little order, but if you freeze it, you have order that forms the solid of ice.

2019-06-28 00:00:57 UTC  

The order of life is created from energy from geological vents and the sun dissipating where replication is a good way to do so.

2019-06-28 00:01:38 UTC  

Basically, life replicates because it is acting as entropy on the environment.

2019-06-28 00:02:35 UTC  

Single celled organisms came to be because of energy dissipation and hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecular interaction.

2019-06-28 00:02:48 UTC  

Emotions are waaaaaaay more abstract.

2019-06-28 00:03:38 UTC  

When you eat and shit, the shit is in a more disordered state. You built order in yourself but made the universe more disordered.

2019-06-28 00:04:32 UTC  

You know how oil and water don't mix. Something like that is how life came to be.

2019-06-28 00:05:33 UTC  

Basically, something got energy, the energy spread out, created order, and the most convenient way for it to spread is by life eating stuff

2019-06-28 00:05:54 UTC  

All the energy of your body likely came from the sun.

2019-06-28 00:06:24 UTC  

Life is nothing more than a really good solar powered engine.

2019-06-28 00:08:29 UTC  

I agree that emotions are far more abstract than anything a single-celled organism experiences, but I tend to think they are basically super-complex versions of sensations, involving far more neurons.

2019-06-28 00:08:30 UTC  

I love mathematical elegance, and the math behind life is gorgeous.

2019-06-28 00:08:55 UTC  

I would love to know more about the math behind life.

2019-06-28 00:08:57 UTC  

😄

2019-06-28 00:09:16 UTC  

Emotions are only slightly caused by neurons.

2019-06-28 00:09:25 UTC  

Is cortisol a neuron?

2019-06-28 00:09:33 UTC  

I love the math behind physics, and any science has elegant math that can blow the mind.

2019-06-28 00:09:38 UTC  

How about adrenaline?

2019-06-28 00:09:53 UTC  

Testosterone?

2019-06-28 00:10:00 UTC  

Cortisol and adrenaline affect neurons, no? Else they would be less relevant to emotions, right?

2019-06-28 00:10:11 UTC  

You are citing neurotransmitters.

2019-06-28 00:10:18 UTC  

Affect and caused by are different.

2019-06-28 00:10:28 UTC  

And, I'm citing hormones.

2019-06-28 00:10:49 UTC  

Right. Neurotransmitters, which are certain types of hormones, right?

2019-06-28 00:11:05 UTC  

Like adrenaline and testosterone

2019-06-28 00:11:11 UTC  

No, different system. Endocrine system.

2019-06-28 00:11:24 UTC  

how is dik make hard

2019-06-28 00:12:26 UTC  

... What?

2019-06-28 00:13:19 UTC  

Okay, so noradrenaline and norepinephrine, for example, are neurotransmitters, while adrenaline refers to the hormone. I just looked it up. Is this right?

2019-06-28 00:13:44 UTC  

Adrenaline-epinephrine

2019-06-28 00:13:48 UTC  

=

2019-06-28 00:14:12 UTC  

man i'm hungry

2019-06-28 00:15:03 UTC  

Oh, noradrenaline IS norepinephrine, isn't it?

2019-06-28 00:15:06 UTC  

No. Your adrenaline glands are right above your kidneys.

2019-06-28 00:15:36 UTC  

Yes, I knew where the adrenal glands were.

2019-06-28 00:15:48 UTC  

Which isn't in your brain.

2019-06-28 00:16:11 UTC  

So for something to be a neurotransmitter, it has to be produced in the brain?

2019-06-28 00:16:17 UTC  

Hormones are too big to enter the brain. It's called the blood brain boundary.

2019-06-28 00:16:52 UTC  

In the brain or nervous system. For example, serotonin is in the nerve ganglia of the gut.

2019-06-28 00:17:16 UTC  

Okay

2019-06-28 00:17:18 UTC  

Hormones are too big to enter the brain. They act on other organs.
