that's responding to its environment
as if it is automatic.

[ Continues, Indistinct ]
:55:20
[ Man ] Does that mean
emotions are good or emotions are bad?

:55:24
No, emotions are designed
so that it reinforces chemically...

:55:27
something into
long-term memory.

:55:30
That's why we have them.
:55:32
All emotion is
is holographically imprinted chemicals.

:55:37
The most sophisticated pharmacy
in the universe is in here.

:55:40
[ Man ] There's a part of the brain
called the hypothalamus...

:55:44
and the hypothalamus
is like a little mini factory...

:55:46
and it is a place that
assembles certain chemicals...

:55:51
that matches certain emotions
that we experience.

:55:54
And those particular chemicals
are called 'peptides. ''

:55:57
They're small-chain
amino acid sequences.

:56:01
The body's basically
a carbon unit...

:56:03
that makes about 20 different
amino acids altogether...

:56:07
to formulate its
physical structure.

:56:09
The body is
a protein-producing machine.

:56:12
In the hypothalamus, we take
small-chain proteins called peptides...

:56:17
and we assemble them into certain
neuropeptides or neurohormones...

:56:22
that match the emotional states
that we experience on a daily basis.

:56:27
So there's chemicals for anger,
and there's chemicals for sadness...

:56:32
and there's chemicals
for victimization.

:56:34
There's chemicals for lust.
There's a chemical that matches...

:56:37
every emotional state
that we experience.

:56:40
And the moment that we experience that
emotional state in our body or in our brain...

:56:46
that hypothalamus will immediately
assemble the peptide...

:56:50
and then releases it through the pituitary
into the bloodstream.

:56:54
The moment it makes it
into the bloodstream...

:56:57
it finds its way to different centers
or different parts of the body.
