I find this hard to believe when considering raves and MDMA.
If anything people with too much serotonin and a social phobia probably do not have enough serotonin receptors, and the extra serotonin is the body compensating.
- ska 11y agoWith most biological systems, it's a pretty safe bet that things are more complicated than that.

- jerf 11y agoI have often pondered the question of how much we'd know about biology today if biologists had the same tools we did. Can you imagine the progress we could make if we could freeze a cell, set watchpoints on any molecules we wanted, step forward and backward at any time increment we chose, run arbitrary queries, make arbitrary changes to the running cell in an arbitrary tree of possibilities, and do this on any cell we liked? A competent biochemist team could probably discover more in a week, and with greater confidence, then the they would in their entire lives the conventional way.
