The Science of Love

Posted by michael on from the gonna-have-to-face-it-you're-addicted-to-love dept.

Xyde writes "Economist.com has a story just in time for Valentine's day called 'The Science of Love'. Presumably the difference between love and lust is little more than a bunch of chemicals, which can be controlled with injections (in voles anyway). Quite an interesting read."

    they are talking about the chemicals in this article, the actions that produce those chemicals are of no importance. so, just inject oxytocin and it's the same effect as breast feeding, there was no need to mention it.

    It's lame when people say something is "Just chemicals." Everything to do with biology is "just chemicals." Newton writing his laws of physics is the result of "just chemicals" just like me writing this is.

    All of the sudden, the quacks and weirdos come out to insist that there's more than just chemicals, that science can't explain anything.

    Well, guess what, pal. If you can't handle observations and reality, go dig your head in the sand. This is science, and science does not care about your personal dogmas.

    It may very well be that we are completely worthless and irrelevent creates, designed simply for survival and reproduction.

    However, is that the fault of your subjective interpretations, or reality itself?

    Don't cry to me about what reality really is. I don't want to hear your anti-science ignorance and denial.
