So, how do I get over this feeling that all thoughts in my head, all everything that I experience is just the playing out of biological mechanisms? I feel like everything I feel, every memory I have, everything comes down to biology and this is an unshakeable, irrefutable world view to me. I just feel that if I feel happy, it's just because my biology permits it, if I do something memorable, it's only my particles moving around some other particles which would have otherwise moved some other way; inconsequential to anything in the big picture, really. I realize too that everything you feel, you could alternatively feel the same way if some arbitrary circumstance permitted it. Wouldn't that mean there were some way to feel that my life was fulfilled, without the confirmation of arbitrary circumstances?

I added this to my reading list. I am also interested in Sam Harris's book "waking up".

LSD explained it all.
Meatpuppets running about spurty-squirty trying to make more meatpuppets in this absurd meta-metaphor called Reality. It helps to understand motivations when you realize the Mind is like an Operating System trying to run biological hardware,and the body has its own agendas. Understanding yourself is a tool to understanding the rest of the world.
