Is Love Just an Evolutionary Trick for Reproduction? (Love is a Lie?)

🎙️ Episode 26 — Is Love Just an Evolutionary Trick for Reproduction? (Love is a Lie?)
Hint: What you call “forever” might be just a hormone loop with good branding.

We’ve been sold a story:
Find the one. Fall hard. Die together holding hands.
But what if romantic love isn’t sacred at all?
What if it’s just a chemical con designed to trick you into reproduction — and capitalism figured out how to profit off your brain’s confusion?

This episode?
We slice straight through the Valentine’s Day dopamine and decode the survival software disguised as soulmates.

👉 Why “you complete me” is just oxytocin whispering evolution’s lies
👉 How love got monetized, optimized — and weaponized against your nervous system
👉 What happens when biology builds the myth — and culture sells it back to you

We don’t mock love.
We dissect it — with the 7-layer Integrated Thinking Stack (ITS):

• 🧠 Love isn’t divine. It’s dopamine, addiction, and post-coital bonding scripts (Cognitive Cleanse)
  
• ⚖️ Why love becomes injustice when it’s unequal, unexamined, or unpaid emotional labor (Moral Intelligence)
• 🌍 How swipe culture, wedding industries, and dating apps hijack our mating instincts (Systemic Foresight)
• 🧍 What happens when your body mistakes trauma for passion — and pain for meaning (Embodied Insight)
• 👥 Why real people fail at fairy tales designed for profit, not reality (Human-Centered Design)
• 📉 What collapses when we build identity on romantic illusions (Risk & Resilience)
• ⚙️ How to rebuild relationships like systems — not stories (Execution Engine)

This episode isn’t anti-love.
It’s anti-delusion.
Because if we’re going to love — let’s love with eyes wide open.

Hit play — and let’s unmask the myth. Layer by brutal layer.
