The document discusses whether humans are helplessly controlled by their hormones and neurotransmitters or if they can gain freedom from this influence. It questions if current laws and environments support emancipation from being controlled by bodily chemicals. The author suggests that it is worthwhile to review whether people are truly helpless prisoners of their body's hormones and neurotransmitters or if creating the right intellectual, political, and material conditions could help free people from this perceived helplessness.

2. Is it not worthwhile reviewing if
we are helplessly shackled in the
cage of our body and the
hormones and neurotransmitters
therein?
Is it true that we (our intellectual,
emotional, instinctual and physical
behavior) helplessly get vacillated
with the ups and downs of the
hormones and the
neurotransmitters?
Are we interested in getting freed
from this helplessness? Are the

3. international laws and the national
laws world over; conducive to such
emancipation?
Are we aware of the necessity to
create an intellectual, political,
literary, artistic, informational and
material environment conducive to
such freedom?
