The photo-electric radiation emitting from my computer monitor is considerably more than marginally distinct from the chaotic soup of interacting proteins and electrical sparks in my brain. Just a few seconds ago, I, of which my brain is certainly a part of, made a decision based off of the computer monitor that is in my environment.

Grappling with chaos and complex interacting and intertwining systems is very difficult. It helps to not be led too astray by the easier to access tools we have (such as verbal language), which help, but many of which are woefully inadequate towards a coherent understanding of these issues.
