Mahyar: Do you know why NSFW images are so common? Because according to Darwin's theory, humans are mutant apes, whose instincts signal them to mate, but artists (are they really artists?) vent their instincts on the weakest character on the planet... The truth is, even emotions aren't real! They're just a bunch of chemical signals... and do you know who that victim is? Katia managan
Radiocaster: @Mahyar: Isn't it the act of a caveman to confuse reality with fiction and dictate what others should do without a convincing argument? You may not like it, and you don't have to view it, but you are not able to control what other people make. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you will stop having this problem.
Mahyar: @Radiocaster: You talk about artistic freedom, but freedom without understanding is nothing more than mental spam.
If you read serious books instead of flipping through comics, you would know who the real caveman is.
Emotions? They are just chemical signals for mating, nothing sacred.
Civilization means mastering these signals, not turning them into aimless caricatures.
Logic and knowledge are my weapons, not colorful illusions.
You still sit inside the cave and mistake shadows for art, while I stand outside and see the light.
Generals fight with truth, not with printed fantasies.
Mahyar: You glorify emotions as if they were something transcendent, but let’s be precise:
Every emotion — happiness, anger, sadness — is nothing more than the firing of neurons and the release of neurotransmitters.
Mahyar: In the brain, signals travel across synapses as bursts of electrical impulses (action potentials) and chemical messengers like dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine.
- Happiness? Dopamine flooding the reward pathways.
- Anger? Amygdala activation with surges of adrenaline.
- Sadness? Reduced serotonin activity in limbic circuits.
Mahyar: Civilization is about recognizing these raw signals for what they are: biological triggers designed for survival and reproduction, not sacred truths.
Logic and knowledge dissect them, strip away the illusion, and expose the machinery underneath.
Mahyar: I didn’t force anyone, I only suggested.
What I gave you was the bitter scientific reality — and yes, even bitterness itself is just another reaction, another signal in the brain.
I speak with logic and knowledge, not with orders.
If the truth feels harsh, that’s because the system of neurons translates it into discomfort.
But reality doesn’t change just because you don’t like the taste.
Radiocaster: @Mahyar: Here's a tip, implying that I'm stupid (Which I have to admit I did too) and ignoring my point to instead write a Stephen King calibre novel about how I don't understand that emotions are just chemical signals (which doesn't diminish their relevance to human relationships, by the way. Everyone knows you shouldn't let your emotions overwhelm you or influence important decisions, but to say they're not important at all and should be ignored is outright unhealthy) is a recipe for me to stop being tolerant and start calling you out for how you sound. You didn't argue against my point, you just de-railed it into a philosophy piece about emotions that reads like it was written by a Redditor getting ready to tell me why Rick and Morty requires a very high IQ to understand. Your seemingly desperate attempt to sound superior will only alienate other people instead of making them want to engage in the conversation; if that's your goal then go off I guess, but I sure hope it isn't. Puking up some textbook understanding of how the human brain works in order to explain why you "speak with logic and knowledge" is a pretty weak defense. My point is that not only can you not dictate what other people do, but that you should use your time for a better purpose than doing so, preferrably something like finding a hobby instead of writing me seven different posts re-iterating the same basic facts.

But facts don’t change either.
