Rom: "I" control my biochemistry? Well I do self medicate with a glass of red wine now and then. > > But I would argue it is my biochemistry controlling my biochemistry and the "I" we might perceive is a little misleading. > > Ultimately we end up saying biochemistry has a will, if we go down this track.-On the other hand I take just an opposite view. My biochemistry works for me. Yes, the brain works by offering patterns, as an example, but I won't back down from my view that I control me.
