mm that's the way it's supposed to work, the brief illusion creates relationships and often progeny. it is hard being alone, so at least you managed to work something out.

Of course, and its biological reason is procreation and continuing the species and all that stuff. In fact, the entire reason we do anything at all is to stimulate the release of neurotransmitters that we like.

eh... its quite simple, and the answer is all around us,. we just have to stop being so "divine" and just ACCEPT: we are beasts, we ARE like the dogs and the cats and the beetles.

when we realize that, the answer is obvious: love is attraction for reproduction. human love is based on learned, cultural and instinctive signals representing health and protection.
mystery solved.

i thought this was common knowledge :/

N = {L}

Where N = the set of all needed things
L = Love

OK, so you can have your love and give up all those unneeded things like food, shelter, water, and medical care.

B > E

Where B = the Beatles
E = Eric Arthur Blair

L -> F ^ S ^ W ^ M

Where F = food
S = shelter
W = water
M = Medical care

And ^ is supposed to be conjunction, but I can't find the right symbol.

"&" is generally a satisfactory symbol for conjunction in most fields (the carrot is rarely used in math).

How do F, S, W, and M follow from L? What is the universe of discourse here? What axioms are you using?

It's called the Beatles axiom: Any problem can be solved by L.

Or LSD.

One of the two.

Who are these "Beatles" of whom you speak? Anyways, I'd like to see either of their solutions (love or drugs) work at ending the current recession.

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. The "Beatles" is sort of a collective name.

If everyone is in love and taking hallucinogenic drugs there won't be an economy. Therefore, no recession. Problem solved!

Wait... I was there. I believe I suggested that in the case of the denizens of L&D it should be characterized by numbers that were purely imaginary.<----more gold! :lmao:
