The Simple Path
(8)
Utilitarian? Maybe. Maybe not. But most of us wish that our decisions will 'Increase The Good.'
Hmm. How have I deviated from my 'rules' tonight? Hmm...
Clearly this series of posts has focused on a single idea: 'Enlightenment Through Chemistry.' Nothing wrong with that. There may be no other simple path! Indeed, Chemistry seems to be The Way, The Truth, and The Light. (could not contact Blogger) Chemistry may be the 'short cut' which will save us all. Viva Chemistry!
By 'chemistry' I mean 'brain chemistry' of course. Traditional brain chemistry takes thousands of years to produce results: Jesus. Buddah. Long time. Slow results.
Modern chemistry has changed all that. No longer does an elegant social idea need to rely on the plodding chemistry of genetic changes or social processes. We do not need to wait for the next Jesus or the next Buddah! We can do our own personal chemical experiments! We can simplify!
Our culture is awakening to that realization.
