Do you know what love is? A chemical. Electrons in your brain sending signals. Are you familiar with Ophiocordyceps unilateralis? It's a fungus that infects ants. It's amazing, really. The spores take over their central nervous systems and force them to climb to a high point, and then the fungus begins to grow up, bursting from the tops of their heads like a branch. And it kills them, of course. All so it can spray new spores over the jungle, infecting more ants. When people say love, that's what I think of.

Good thing cordyceps can't survive in humans due to our higher body temperature.

I like Zizeks idea of love being a violent event. Check the yt video by Julian de madeiros which should explain the idea.
You could also read/ listen to zizek talk about it

Oh, so you didn't go and learn I was playing on the fact that I am Aro-ace?

Okay. I tried to make a joke with my orientation, but this exchange has wrung all of the humour out.

So, would you say love isn't exactly a foreign theoretical concept to you?

Love is a parasite. I knew it!

Honestly I have my suspicions I don't quite right; maybe it's something biological, or maybe it's my childhood. But, I try to be a good person anyway, and help people who have or would help me. They seem impressed, even when I admit this.

Being in love makes you an expert on love the same way getting run over by a car makes you a mechanic.

Love is the recognition that, on a profound level, the other is part of myself, and I part of the other.
