Through a pill, probably that would weird me out, but Me, all that person is would be a collection of processed sensory.<br /><br />How I use that processed sensory is dependent on several factors related to my brain, but it's not the difference between someone metro, and someone rough and tumble. It's not who I am, but what I know, and how I act accordingly to the environment I'm in.<br /><br />Stagnation is an easy drinking, yet shit for quality lager.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881809469096129956.post-88915386804051355422011-03-06T22:36:33.046+00:002011-03-06T22:36:33.046+00:00In the long term there really is no logical differ...In the long term there really is no logical difference. The problem with just taking a pill to alter your physical brain chemistry is that it may not work for you. Something that is a wonder drug for one person does not work at all for another. This is why psychiatrists prescribe gradual increases in dosage for their patients. <br /><br />A one jolt personality switch pill could royally fuck someone up and give disastrous results. There's no control and outcomes are unpredictable. <br /><br />But I think that's off what you were going for. Ideally if the pill were to work, there's no logical difference. You're still making the change you set out to make.Havenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219816721347558501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881809469096129956.post-89646257141044419012011-03-06T22:28:01.365+00:002011-03-06T22:28:01.365+00:00Thinking of you as a sensitive metrosexual man mad...Thinking of you as a sensitive metrosexual man made me giggle.
