    Maybe I'm not getting an accurate view of your stance from your arguments, but you sound incredibly arrogant. You seem to be saying that love is a mass-shared delusion, and your only reasoning is because you can't appreciate it or flat out can't feel it at all. This is completely lacking in empathy for other people who do feel love and it's a very closed-minded view. Really, think about what you're positing for a second in the context of the billions of other people on this planet, almost all of whom have experienced some form of love. You are sort of right in that love almost certainly evolved as a means of encouraging long-term pair bonding through an offspring's adolescence if not longer. So just because we have a scientific basis of it, that makes it a delusion? If anything that makes it even more tangible and real. We didn't start saying that illness wasn't real just because we were able to identify bacteria and viruses as causes of infectious disease.

    Moreover, it is quite easy for most people to differentiate between romantic and platonic love. Love is an involuntary response to another person's virtue; you come to love a romantic partner, a close friend, or a family member because you recognize their virtues that are compatible with yours. Where romantic and platonic love differ is the context and the presence or absence of a desire to procreate. The other things you described (like "patriotic love") aren't really love, they're just fanaticism or strong enthusiasm.

    Do correct me where I'm wrong; this is what I got from the way you framed your arguments.

    Story time. So I started talking to a really cute girl at one of the bars downtown, when all of a sudden out of the blue she starts asking if I like anime. I say yes and ask her what series she's into. She lists some pretty casual stuff like Naruto and Bleach, but then the conversation goes to:
    It worked.

    A'ight, you savages, we're gonna make Shakespeare look like Smash Mouth. Here's how we do this -- it's easy af, just calm down, jesus christ. You write two lines: one that ends with something that rhymes with the previous post's last line, and one that ends in whatever you want. Maybe try to make the meter match, but fĂșck it, this is America, it's 2017, you can do whatever you want, you degenerate. The basic idea is to synthesize a poem with an AA-BB-CC-etc. rhyme scheme. The tone is whatever you want it to be; go to town. Since I'm starting this beautiful piece of garbage off, imma just write one line.

    So

    That's horrible, man, I'm sorry to hear it. The track is pretty nice, though. It's a little repetitive, but the beat is cool and really like the sounds you chose. The anime sample in the middle was appreciated. I'd be interested in hearing a full album.
