–“Is ‘love’ just a means to an acquisition? And is ‘deploying’ this means a method of lying? Please don’t tell me love is just a lie lol”–John smith
Love is an emotion that serves the purpose of putting the other person’s wants ahead of yours, forcing constant compromise, and that excludes others from the same priority.
Like voluntary cooperation, this means both parties obtain more than they could on their own by the exchagne. it creates a new stable relation sufficient to pay for the cost of an offspring.
That’s why it makes us ‘high’ (feels good). Becuase it is the only condition under which it is evolutionarily rational to enter an exchange where parties put another’s wishes above your own.
So as in all human behavior, yes all human behavior including love exists to help us acquire, and all human experience can be reduced to statements of acquisition, retention, and consumption.
Notice that you can’t make the same agreement with more than one other person.
Notice that there are only two sexes.
Notice that there are only two polarities in the universe.
Notice that there is only stable relation is the capture of additional engergy by differences in polarity.
The universe is obsurdly consistent because it has only one rule.
We can understand everything by that one rule.
