Clash of atoms and reactions generated in brains

Q1) Thomas Hobbes and some of his basic theories published in one of his greatest books: Leviathan. According to Hobbes, the clash of atoms and the reactions they generate within our brains are really what forms our conception of reality and the world we claim to perceive.

If we are to accept Hobbes logic as presented in this lecture, then we would have to argue that the world external to us is one and the same and that we really cannot make the distinction between reality and virtual reality. The difference in what we perceive (our intrinsic reality) is then a result of our internal chemistry and not the result of what we are looking at, or feeling.

Do you think that Hobbes was on to something with his theory? Is there joy or fear out there, or is it all inside of us and how we perceive and react to a situation? The devil is in the chemistry, isn't it?
