Scientific terms in every day use

OK, I still don't understand though

Interesting.

By "high level" I meant behaviours, feelings, emotions, goals, habits and so forth. The low level is instead what OP was describing (in terms of neuro transmitters, neurons and so forth.)

I do think sciencific explanations can be just as beautiful, or more, than other explanations.

But I am now considering other people may have a different perspective, or that the context matters.

I guess we are all different and maybe one should just try to sense how the other person communicates.

Apologies OP if it reads odd!

I think if someone asked me what high level actions I'd undertaken, I'd look at then and think 'Eh, WTF you on about?'. I think sometimes we do want a more romantic answer or not one thats so reductive and takes the fun out of life, sometimes people react sharply to certain expressions we use. I said to an ex 'Oh look, the new moon's holding the old moon in her arms', he exploded about my romantic world view and how I should say things like that because they were untrue, he couldn't get the idea that this is just an expression that I heard and used for years, about when you can see a sliver of new moon, but a short of shadow of the whole moon.

I think that often what is annoying is the intent of the person saying it, trying to rationalise a worry away, and avoid further exploration or introspection, or exert an authority-like role (which we usually dislike).

It also happens that some of these explanations, when related not to nature but to ourselves, are not actionable. For example, rather that a statement like "You are having dopamine drops." the actionable statement is: What high-level actions did I take, that produced the following effects? Is there anything that could be improved?

But in other areas a scientific explanation can be quite nice.

• Thinking that there are tiny chemical machines within a plant that harvest solar energy and store it in chemical bonds of molecules via CO2, and usually (not always) produce Oxygen as a subproduct which enables us to live, isn't quite marvellous?

So maybe it is the intent of terminating the process of self-understanding or doubting what is annoying in the cases you described?

Also, sometimes we may want a more romantic explanation, such as the stories of Orion The Hunter.

Maybe the fish is fresher, or the salty sea air compliments them? I don't know, I don't eat fish and I don't like chips.

Exactly food is a huge sensory part of my day and a meal out is an experience (not always a good one but to be fair most food places understand your there for a peaceful meal other than fast food place where kids riot and teenagers cause issues) 

But the fact I enjoy a meal more with a good lighting or the right sound levels and good company doesn't need to be explained with science I just need to. Enjoy it 

Why does fish and chips days better by the sea? Because im. Having fun is why that is all

I think some people use science to take the wonder and magic from the world and I wonder where people get these ideas from? Who decided that the first 3 mouthfulls are the best and what are they eating? Custard? How can I not enjoy a variety on my plate/ I think these people must be those who see food as fuel and not something to be enjoyed, shared, celebrated and an art form and I don't means poncy micro herbs placed to top with tweezers!

Yes I suppose your mind wonders to the science when you just what to enjoy the book 

Also I. Don't unsetand. When people claim the first few bites of food are the most enjoyable my brain doesn't seem to work that way I enjoy each bite the same. 

I guess it's another example of a world that wasnt made for me. 

Like my brain reacts to stuff different 

Sometimes I. Love learning about my. Hobbies(this they become special interests) bit oth t times learning how tech works. Or what ever I feel like my hobby is less fun

Because its so reductive? It reduces pleasure to a bunch of chemicals with the implication that we have concious control of them when we don't. I like reading, but theres lots of books and literary styles I don't like so I don't get dopmaine hits from Mills and Boon, I get annoyed chemicals and even moe annoyed ones when I'm told that its a book and I like reading therefore I must enjoy that book simply because its a book.
