About the great role it plays in controlling the paths of our lives, and how molecules and transmitters are simple and precise to the extent that they can embed their fingerprint in our human nature and control all our decisions and choices in life, and be the secret of our creativity, failure, madness, and the creative nature of humans in good and evil, in persistence and despair, in building and destruction.
