That's the funny and uninhibited stance on the applied side of science. The subject is discussed only as matter, abstracting it from values such as culture, life and history, and its effects on pure matter and the human body - again a perception of matter. There is no meaning, culture or context in it. It's just ridiculous. The sad thing is, when man has countless problems, serious unresolved problems - let's just say Cancer - why this kind of research? The basic logic is control, demeaning and desertification. The human-thing relationship cannot be explained only at the atomic level. The coffee you drink with a person changes according to the person and gains a place in your world of meaning, you may not forget what you talked for years. On a substance level, yes, a panic attack as you drink - presumably - some kind of excitement? The reaction and meaning of a machine-like body and brain to the substance it consumes just to do more work?! I could not adopt the limitless and meaningless scientific approach, I could not find an enlightening side?! Is science real?
