this was a difficult question too.what does this mean?
what about the libidinal economy?
Maybe just how to connect these tenets to the development of western qua continental philosophy.
Stan what did you think this means? WYHs says it means fuck all but you liked it so you must have interpreted it one way or anotherNot pleasure so much as enculturation of need gratification
The process by which a system (in this case a neurochemical/neuroelectrical system) can account for environmental activity, by way of reinforcing its behaviors that led to favorable outcomes and inhibiting behaviors that let to unfavorable outcomes.Stan what did you think this means?

In principle, however vaguely, these neurochemical mechanisms are means by which a nerve-enabled system can "remember" favorable sequences of signals and execute said sequences when recognizably similar circumstances arise.The process by which a system (in this case a neurochemical/neuroelectrical system) can account for environmental activity, by way of reinforcing its behaviors that led to favorable outcomes and inhibiting behaviors that let to unfavorable outcomes.
That is, if some sequence of motor activities (as determined by motor signals in nerves) led to some favorable outcome (food), then that sequence of motor activities may be associated with that favorable outcome by way of some release of certain neurochemicals in certain ways as to affect a sense of pleasure/gratification.
Bear in mind, speaking is a sequence of motor movements.Personally I don't know how accurate the picture I just painted is, namely I don't know if we thoroughly understand the nervous and neurochemical mechanisms by which certain sequences of motor movements become established and reinforced.
At the risk of being a thermodynamic reductionist, the bottom line does seem to be the procurement of nutrients qua macromolecules from which energy, or molecules that aid in the system of deriving energy, is derived.The process by which a system (in this case a neurochemical/neuroelectrical system) can account for environmental activity, by way of reinforcing its behaviors that led to favorable outcomes and inhibiting behaviors that let to unfavorable outcomes.

That is to say that some conscious activity may be disregardable as epiphenomenal, pending evidence otherwise.At the risk of being a thermodynamic reductionist, the bottom line does seem to be the procurement of nutrients qua macromolecules from which energy, or molecules that aid in the system of deriving energy, is derived.
