And if chemicals in the brain are responsible for creating the feeling we experience in consciousness and label desire, what is responsible for the accumulation and mixing of those chemicals?
None of the line of reasoning I'm teasing at requires one to conclude that desire is worthless. Many involuntary appearances in consciousness map directly to causal factors and provide clear evolutionary benefit, e.g. pain is an early warning system that helps us avoid many kinds of death.
Why would nihilism be the natural conclusion here?
