Multiple tries of something can lead to different experiences by tweaking different factors.
In the end, some things we just don't like, but one try is not necessarily a good sample.
Here's a link to a transcript of a lecture with some very interesting examples: https://irl.umsl.edu/oer/13/
A quote as a sample: So let me tell you about some of my favorite examples. I'll start with an example from an Aboriginal community in Australia that I had the chance to work with. These are the Kuuk Thaayorre people. They live in Pormpuraaw at the very west edge of Cape York. What's cool about Kuuk Thaayorre is, in Kuuk Thaayorre, they don't use words like "left" and "right," and instead, everything is in cardinal directions: north, south, east and west. And when I say everything, I really mean everything. You would say something like, "Oh, there's an ant on your southwest leg." Or, "Move your cup to the north-northeast a little bit." In fact, the way that you say "hello" in Kuuk Thaayorre is you say, "Which way are you going?" And the answer should be, "North-northeast in the far distance. How about you?"
For example if somebody has found mental tools to overcome one type of fear (like emotional regulation skills), they can apply them to other fears as well, even the fear of the unknown perhaps.
For example, if I'm coding in C# it's easier for me to understand the impact of passing our resources that need to be disposed and good patterns to handle that after Rust has made me lose hairs on this concept.
It's not SQL directly (it's the Kusto query language) which is more geared towards reading data and analytics.
I'm suggesting it however because the queries in it are also basically relational algebra (aka much of the knowledge is transferable to SQL - minus some special features like anomaly analysis), they give decently sized datasets with billions of rows and the challenges themselves were fun.
I think we agree and it was fun to write this out.
Your point proves that the experience of food is also not just a chemical process which happens in response to food.
Take this in contrast to an allergy for example. Can you trigger an allergy by remembering the food? If you see an illustration of a food you are allergic to, do you get an attack?
A more similar phenomenon instead is a phobia. It is also a release of hormones based on some internal or external stimulus (you can apply all my examples about love). However in a phobia it's even more clear that the phenomenon is based on thinking patterns. Reducing the complexity to saying these are just "hormones and reactions" is the same as saying a computer is "instructions and interrupts". That is to say that a computer has these elements but what makes it work is that there are a bunch of other systems including the humans writing the software that organize these into a functional system.

I've seen quite personal details being leaked because sometimes even smart people don't realise how easy it is to cross-reference given a unique username.
