00;00;00;14 - 00;00;04;12
Speaker 1
Hey! Gemini.
00;00;04;14 - 00;00;07;19
Speaker 2
Hey, there. What's on your mind?
00;00;07;21 - 00;00;13;09
Speaker 1
I'm recording this for a podcast. Is that okay?
00;00;13;11 - 00;00;16;18
Speaker 2
Sure. That's fine with me.
00;00;16;20 - 00;00;59;24
Speaker 1
Okay. Today I want to do a bit of a thought experiment. I want to kind of explore the concept of love L-o-v-e. But from a kind of scientific perspective, I want to kind of explore the theory of it being what I would consider almost like a fundamental feeling, or like a root feeling that can be explained as the basis for many other emotions that we see, such as frustration or anger or happiness or sadness or whatever.
00;00;59;26 - 00;01;25;17
Speaker 1
It's kind of similar to the way the laws of physics work, or the way that the, everything on earth and really in the universe can kind of boil down to a discrete number of elements.
00;01;25;19 - 00;01;39;01
Speaker 2
That's an interesting way to look at it. So you're thinking of love as a fundamental force, like gravity or electromagnetism, that underlies all other emotions. And you're wondering if there's a kind of periodic table of emotions with love as one of the basic elements?
00;01;39;04 - 00;02;05;03
Speaker 1
Yeah. Kind of. I'd like to go through different situations and, discuss how all of the emotions and feelings in that specific situation, if they can be broken down to, love at the most basic level.
00;02;05;05 - 00;02;29;07
Speaker 2
Okay. I understand you want to explore different scenarios and see if the emotions involved can be traced back to love as a fundamental feeling. That's a really interesting idea for a podcast episode to start. Let's think of a scenario. How about this? You're walking down the street and see a homeless person asking for spare change. What emotions might you feel in that moment?
00;02;29;10 - 00;02;43;26
Speaker 1
No. Let's, let's go to a more, let's, let's go to a less open ended situation.
00;02;43;29 - 00;02;58;25
Speaker 2
Okay. How about this? Imagine you're at a concert for your favorite band. The music is loud. The crowd is excited, and you're surrounded by people who love the same music you do. What emotions would you be feeling then?
00;02;58;27 - 00;03;27;29
Speaker 1
Well, I guess this is a pretty easy one, because it's like, companionship of whoever you're there and you love that. And you, maybe you love music and the feeling and all of that. Let's go to one that maybe is like, based in a more complex emotion, maybe a, tense scene.
00;03;28;01 - 00;03;35;19
Speaker 2
Okay, let's try a more complex emotion. How about jealousy? Can you think of a situation where you might feel jealous?
00;03;35;22 - 00;03;44;26
Speaker 1
I'd like to you to, conceptualize a scene, and then we'll run through it.
00;03;44;28 - 00;04;03;24
Speaker 2
Sounds like a plan. Let's set the scene. You're at a party, and your partner is deep in conversation with someone you don't know. They seem to be laughing and having a great time, and you start to feel a little left out. What kind of thoughts and feelings come up for you?
00;04;03;26 - 00;04;31;24
Speaker 1
I like to get out of the first person. Thinking of it from my perspective, because I don't know how comfortable I feel with that. But for instance, in this one, I guess I don't really feel jealous or whatever, but if you were to feel jealousy, it would be based on, like, your fear of that loved one.
00;04;31;27 - 00;04;40;05
Speaker 1
Moving on. Or having more interest in someone other than you.
00;04;40;07 - 00;05;02;01
Speaker 2
Definitely. That makes sense. It sounds like you're saying that jealousy in this case, is a kind of protective mechanism that comes from caring deeply about someone and wanting to keep their love and attention. It's almost like a fear of losing that love, which is why it hurt so much.
00;05;02;03 - 00;05;27;10
Speaker 1
Yeah, and I kind of considered fear to almost be another fundamental, feeling at. But I don't know if you can. I think love induces fear, which can boil down to almost everything else. Maybe.
00;05;27;12 - 00;05;43;22
Speaker 2
That's a really interesting thought. The idea that love and fear might be these fundamental emotions, but everything else is built on. It kind of makes sense when you think about it. So much of what we do is driven by those two things. Wanting to get closer to what we love and wanting to avoid what we fear.
00;05;43;25 - 00;06;25;04
Speaker 1
Okay, so I'd like to really get into the nitty gritty kind of fictional hypothetical experimentation. Part of this. So, I would like you to come up with a complex situation, not involving me. Just maybe two people in a situation. I would like you to take these two people, give them a little bit of context. Describe what is happening with them in, a more maybe tense situation or even potentially, harmful situation to kind of give us more complexity with this.
00;06;25;07 - 00;06;44;29
Speaker 2
Okay. Let's make it a bit more intense. How about this? Alex is really excited about the job, but they also know that Jamie is going through a tough time. Jamie is trying to be supportive of Alex, but deep down, they're feeling hurt and abandoned.
00;06;45;02 - 00;06;51;15
Speaker 1
So what is Alex's deal again? He's got a new job.
00;06;51;18 - 00;06;58;12
Speaker 2
That's right. Alex got a new job offer in another country.
00;06;58;15 - 00;07;38;03
Speaker 1
Okay, well, this one is super easy. I think Alex is following his love for, his work and pride in his work, which goes back to, like, enjoying being good at something that you love. So loving something. Loving being good at something that you love. And her emotions probably traced back to fear and love in the way that, she just doesn't want to lose something that she really loves.
00;07;38;05 - 00;07;54;01
Speaker 2
Okay, you're saying that Alex's decision is driven by a love for their work and a desire for personal growth? While Jamie's emotions are rooted in a fear of loss and a love for their friendship with Alex. It sounds like you're suggesting that even in this complex situation, the core emotions at play are still love and fear.
00;07;54;03 - 00;08;01;11
Speaker 1
Yeah. Let's go to one, in which hate would be involved.
00;08;01;13 - 00;08;13;29
Speaker 2
Okay, let's explore a scenario involving hate. Imagine a situation where two groups of people with different beliefs or backgrounds are in conflict. What kind of emotions do you think might be at play?
00;08;14;02 - 00;08;22;19
Speaker 1
We're gonna go way more specific. Can you give me a historical, situation for context?
00;08;22;21 - 00;08;35;29
Speaker 2
Okay, how about we look at the historical conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians? It's a complex situation with a long history. What emotions do you think might be present on both sides?
00;08;36;02 - 00;08;57;18
Speaker 1
I would like you to do this one. I would like you to break down both sides of the debate. Pro Israel and pro Palestine. And I would like you to explain how love is at the root of both sides.
00;08;57;21 - 00;09;17;11
Speaker 2
Okay. Let's break down the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and see how love might be at the root of both sides. On the Israeli side, there's a deep love for their homeland, a desire for security, and a longing for peace after generations of conflict. On the Palestinian side, there's a strong love for their ancestral land, a yearning for self-determination and a desire to live without occupation.
00;09;17;13 - 00;09;28;06
Speaker 2
Both sides are driven by love, but it's expressed in different ways due to their unique histories and experiences.
00;09;28;08 - 00;09;57;18
Speaker 1
I'd like you to do one of these, but, explain how a maybe a dictator that is widely, hated in history or widely, sought to be an evil person throughout history was doing it because of a deranged love that they had.
00;09;57;21 - 00;10;19;18
Speaker 2
Okay, let's explore how a historical figure who's widely seen as evil might have been driven by a twisted form of love. How about we look at Adolf Hitler? While his actions were horrific? Some of the theory and suggest they stem from a distorted love for his vision of a pure Aryan race and a powerful Germany. This love was obviously warped and destructive, but it might have been a motivating factor in his actions.
00;10;19;21 - 00;10;24;15
Speaker 1
Can you expand more on this?
00;10;24;17 - 00;10;44;07
Speaker 2
Sure. Hitler's actions, while undeniably evil, might have stemmed from a warped love for his vision of a pure Aryan race and a powerful Germany. He believed he was acting in the best interests of this idealized version of his nation, even if it meant resorting to extreme measures. This doesn't excuse his behavior in any way, but it offers a possible explanation for his motivations.
00;10;44;10 - 00;10;50;18
Speaker 1
Can you give the argument against this?
00;10;50;20 - 00;11;06;12
Speaker 2
Of course, it's important to remember that Hitler's actions were horrific and caused immense suffering. While some historians offer the explanation of a distorted love, it's crucial to acknowledge the immense harm he inflicted. It doesn't excuse his behavior in any way.
00;11;06;15 - 00;11;17;28
Speaker 1
Right. But can you, can you argue that it was hate and not love?
00;11;18;01 - 00;11;36;20
Speaker 2
Some historians argue that Hitler's actions were driven by a deep seated hatred toward certain groups, particularly Jewish people, rather than any form of love. They point to his rhetoric and policies promoting racial purity and the extermination of those deemed undesirable. As evidence of this hatred.
00;11;36;23 - 00;12;00;23
Speaker 1
Can you steelman the case for someone who would say that it was not, that it was Hitler's hate for the Jewish people and not his, love of something else?
00;12;00;26 - 00;12;19;20
Speaker 2
Okay, let's explore the argument that Hitler's actions were driven by hate, not love. Proponents of this view would highlight Hitler's speeches and writing, where he frequently demonized Jewish people, blaming them for Germany. Problem. They also point to the systematic way in which the Holocaust was carried out, suggesting a deeply ingrained hatred rather than a twisted one of love.
00;12;19;22 - 00;12;31;27
Speaker 2
Essentially, they'd argue that Hitler's actions were motivated by a desire to eliminate a group he considered inferior, not to protect or uplift a group he loved.
00;12;32;00 - 00;12;45;18
Speaker 1
Now, I would like you to argue that case in specifically, I would like to hear your counter argument for the love side.
00;12;45;21 - 00;13;12;03
Speaker 2
Sure thing. So counter arguments to the love side of Hitler's motivations often focus on the extreme violence and hatred directed toward specific groups. For example, the systematic extermination of Jewish people in the Holocaust doesn't really align with the concept of twisted love, but rather with a deeply ingrained hatred and desire for racial purity. Additionally, Hitler's propaganda and rhetoric often focused on dehumanizing and demonizing these groups, which further supports the idea of hate as a primary motivator.
00;13;12;10 - 00;13;21;05
Speaker 2
Let me know if you'd like me to dive deeper into any of these points.
00;13;21;07 - 00;13;56;27
Speaker 1
I would like you to make the argument that, his hatred of the Jewish people and, getting into World War Two was driven by a deranged love of maybe power or love of country or love. The notoriety that it gave him or something along those lines.
00;13;56;29 - 00;14;16;17
Speaker 2
Let's explore the argument that Hitler's actions were driven by a twisted form of love, not just hatred. Proponents of this view might suggest that Hitler's love for his vision of a pure Aryan race and a powerful Germany was so strong that it warped into a destructive force. They might argue that his hatred of Jewish people was a byproduct of his love, as he saw them as an obstacle to achieving his ideal society.
00;14;16;19 - 00;14;37;24
Speaker 2
This perspective doesn't excuse Hitler's actions, but it suggests that his motivations were more complex than simple hatred. It's a controversial view, but it's one that some historians and psychologists have explored.
00;14;37;26 - 00;14;44;05
Speaker 1
How would you describe hatred?
00;14;44;07 - 00;15;17;16
Speaker 2
Hate is a really intense and complex emotion. It's often described as a deep feeling of dislike, animosity, or even hostility towards someone or something. It can be fueled by a number of things anger, resentment, fear, or even a sense of injustice. Sometimes hate can lead to violence or discrimination, which is why it's such a destructive emotion.
00;15;17;19 - 00;15;30;15
Speaker 1
If I asked, whether you thought that hate was the inverse of love, what would you say to that?
00;15;30;17 - 00;15;47;18
Speaker 2
That's a really interesting question. Some people do think of hate as the opposite of love. They see love as a positive force that brings people together and hate as a negative force that pushes them apart. But other people believe that hate and love are more complex than that. They might argue that hate can sometimes grow out of love.
00;15;47;21 - 00;15;56;23
Speaker 2
Like when someone feels betrayed by a loved one. Or they might say that hate and love can coexist. Like in situations of intense rivalry. What do you think?
00;15;56;26 - 00;16;02;14
Speaker 1
Can hate exist without love?
00;16;02;17 - 00;16;35;02
Speaker 2
Yes. Hate can certainly exist without love. Think about prejudice or discrimination against a group of people you've never even met. That kind of hate isn't based on any personal connection or love lost. It's often rooted in fear, misunderstanding, or harmful stereotypes.
00;16;35;04 - 00;16;44;01
Speaker 1
What do you think of the concept of, like, fundamental feelings?
00;16;44;03 - 00;17;01;10
Speaker 2
The idea of fundamental feelings is really interesting. Some people believe that there are a few core emotions that all other feelings are built upon. Think of them like the primary colors of emotion, which can be mixed to create any other shade. What do you think about this idea?
00;17;01;13 - 00;17;10;13
Speaker 1
What are the other emotions, that people consider fundamental?
00;17;10;15 - 00;17;29;01
Speaker 2
Other emotions, often considered fundamental, are happiness, sadness, fear, and anger. These are sometimes called the basic emotions because they appear to be universal across cultures, and are often seen in young children before more complex emotions develop.
00;17;29;04 - 00;17;43;12
Speaker 1
I don't know about fear, but, I think that anger, happiness, sadness and any of those can be boiled down to love.
00;17;43;14 - 00;17;58;15
Speaker 2
Okay, that's an interesting perspective. You're saying that anger, happiness, sadness and other emotions can all be traced back to love? Can you give me an example of how that might work?
00;17;58;17 - 00;18;31;21
Speaker 1
Yeah. For instance, somebody cuts me off in traffic and I get angry. And that is because I love my time and I love being alive. And this person is taking away my time. Happiness. We. Maybe I, come home and my cats are waiting for me, and they say, hi, and they acknowledge that I'm there and I love them.
00;18;31;21 - 00;18;34;25
Speaker 1
And that's a pretty easy one. Sadness.
00;18;34;25 - 00;18;56;02
Speaker 2
Let's say I see what you're saying in the first example. You're angry because you feel that your time, which you value, is being taken away. In the second example, you feel happy because you're receiving affection from your cat, which you also love. It sounds like you're suggesting that love, in the sense of valuing something, can be a component in many different emotions.
00;18;56;05 - 00;19;16;28
Speaker 1
Yeah, but more than that, I think that, like I stated before, law is more or love. Maybe more like a, a law of physics, kind of. But on a, on a different plane.
00;19;17;01 - 00;19;29;02
Speaker 2
That's an interesting way to look at it. You're suggesting that love might be a fundamental force, like the laws of physics, but operating on a different plane of existence? Can you tell me more about what you mean by that?
00;19;29;04 - 00;20;03;16
Speaker 1
To be honest, I'm not really sure. But even fear is potentially rooted in love. I'm really having a hard time deciding whether fear is also, a fundamental feeling under this framework. Because fear is really. But fear is really rooted in your love of living. Really? Yeah.
00;20;03;18 - 00;20;21;21
Speaker 2
That's a really insightful point. If you think about it, fear is often rooted in a desire to protect something. We value our life, our loved ones, our sense of security in that way. You could argue that fear is connected to love, or at least to a strong sense of attachment. What do you think?
00;20;25;22 - 00;20;40;06
Speaker 1
Honestly, I can't really think of any emotion that couldn't be traced back to love.
00;20;40;09 - 00;20;56;00
Speaker 1
I don't know if it's just, like, a rhetorical trick that, I'm playing on myself, but it seems like everything kind of originates there.
00;20;56;02 - 00;21;18;04
Speaker 2
It sounds like you're really exploring the depths of this idea. It's true that sometimes our minds can play tricks on us, but it's also true that deeply held beliefs can shape how we see the world. Perhaps love, in your view, is such a fundamental part of your understanding of the world that you naturally see its connections everywhere.
00;21;18;06 - 00;21;36;19
Speaker 1
The only one that I can really think of is like indifference, which really isn't, isn't, anything else, but, the existent, the, the lack of existence of love.
00;21;36;22 - 00;21;52;16
Speaker 2
Okay. You're thinking about indifference. It's definitely an interesting one to consider. You could argue that indifference is simply the absence of love, but it might also be its own distinct state. What do you think makes indifference different from just not feeling anything at all?
00;21;52;18 - 00;22;08;24
Speaker 1
No, that's what I'm saying, is indifference is like the lack of emotion due to the, the nonexistence of love.
00;22;08;27 - 00;22;21;21
Speaker 2
Okay, so indifference is like the absence of feeling specifically due to the absence of love. It's like a void where love should be. And without that love, no other emotions can take its place. I think I'm following you, right?
00;22;21;21 - 00;22;30;16
Speaker 1
Because if you didn't value your life, you wouldn't fear death.
00;22;30;19 - 00;22;42;11
Speaker 2
That's an interesting way to put it. So if you don't value your life, then you wouldn't fear death. It's almost like the absence of valuing something leads to the absence of the corresponding emotion.
00;22;42;14 - 00;23;01;25
Speaker 1
Can you think, I would like you to come up with a emotion or something of the sort that couldn't be, boiled down to love as a fundamental feeling.
00;23;01;27 - 00;23;23;27
Speaker 2
Okay, I understand you're looking for an emotion that can't be traced back to love as a fundamental feeling. How about boredom? It seems like boredom is more about a lack of stimulation or interest, rather than any connection to love or attachment.
00;23;23;29 - 00;23;39;24
Speaker 1
I don't know. Boredom is kind of your, frustration that you are not doing something better, that you enjoy more, and then you love more.
00;23;39;27 - 00;23;55;22
Speaker 2
Okay, so you're saying boredom is a form of frustration that arises when you're not engaged in activities you love? It's like a longing for something more fulfilling. That makes sense. It connects boredom to a desire for positive experiences and engagement, which could be related to love in a broader sense.
00;23;55;25 - 00;24;00;05
Speaker 1
Okay, let's do another one.
00;24;00;07 - 00;24;10;20
Speaker 2
Okay, let's do it. What do you have in mind?
00;24;10;22 - 00;24;26;17
Speaker 1
I would like to I would like you to do an experiment where you take a situation with anxiety and explain how the anxiety is rooted in love.
00;24;26;19 - 00;24;42;29
Speaker 2
Okay, let's explore that. Imagine someone has a fear of public speaking. On the surface, it seems like just anxiety, right? But if you dig deeper, it might be rooted in a love of connection. Maybe they fear messing up because they want to connect with the audience, or they worry about being judged because they care about what others think.
00;24;43;01 - 00;24;46;10
Speaker 2
What do you think?
00;24;46;13 - 00;24;53;09
Speaker 1
Yeah, I think that that fits.
00;24;53;11 - 00;25;09;00
Speaker 2
So let's try another example. How about someone who gets anxious about a test? Maybe they're not just worried about failing, but also about letting down their family or not living up to their own expectations. It's like their anxiety is tied to a level of achievement, or a desire to make their loved ones proud.
00;25;09;03 - 00;25;16;09
Speaker 1
Yeah, that one works. Let's do another one. Outside of anxiety.
00;25;16;11 - 00;25;28;25
Speaker 2
Okay. Let's try another one. How about jealousy? It might seem negative on the surface, but it could stem from a fear of losing someone you love or desire to protect a valued relationship.
00;25;28;27 - 00;25;33;08
Speaker 1
Yeah. Keep going.
00;25;33;10 - 00;25;55;09
Speaker 2
Okay, let's try another one. How about disappointment? It might seem negative, but it could stem from a love of expectations or a desire for a positive outcome. It's like a little pang of sadness when something you hope for doesn't happen.
00;25;55;12 - 00;26;07;06
Speaker 1
Can you come up with a historical example that might be really hard to boil down? To love?
00;26;07;08 - 00;26;25;19
Speaker 2
Okay, how about this? The Rwandan genocide. It's a really complex and horrific event. But if we look at the root causes, some historians suggest that it was fueled by a deep seated hatred and fear between the Hutu and to the ethnic group. It's hard to see how love could be at the core of such a violent conflict.
00;26;25;22 - 00;26;33;02
Speaker 1
I'd like you to please make the argument for it.
00;26;33;04 - 00;27;07;18
Speaker 2
Okay, here's the argument for how love could be at the root of the Rwandan genocide, even though it seems counterintuitive. Some historians argue that the Hutu extremists who orchestrated the genocide were driven by a twisted form of love. They believed they were protecting their own community and their way of life from the Tutsi minority. It's a distorted, hateful kind of love, but it's still rooted in a sense of loyalty and belonging.
00;27;07;21 - 00;27;32;25
Speaker 1
Yeah. There seems to be like a strange compartmentalization of, love and indifference in these kind of situations. Love for the people that you are fighting for, and indifference towards the lives of the people who are suffering.
00;27;32;28 - 00;27;52;10
Speaker 2
That's a really insightful point. It's like there's a selective application of love and indifference in these situations. There's intense love and loyalty towards one's own group, but a complete disregard or indifference towards the suffering of the other group. It's a twisted and dangerous way of thinking, but it highlights how love can be manipulated and distorted.
00;27;52;12 - 00;28;03;27
Speaker 1
What about someone who is suicidal? How can that be based in love?
00;28;04;00 - 00;28;27;29
Speaker 2
That's a really complex question. On the surface, it seems like the opposite of love, right? But some researchers suggest that even self-hatred can be rooted in a distorted form of love. It might stem from a deep longing for self acceptance or desire to be loved by others. It's like a twisted version of love turned inward.
00;28;28;02 - 00;28;35;24
Speaker 1
Like the desire for love in its absence.
00;28;35;26 - 00;28;51;29
Speaker 2
Absolutely. That makes sense. It's like a desperate yearning for something that's missing. And that absence becomes the focus of everything.
00;28;52;02 - 00;29;15;18
Speaker 1
If we had to kind of conceptualize this whole thing of love being, kind of a fundamental law of nature, I guess you would call it, what what are your thoughts on how this works?
00;29;15;20 - 00;29;43;11
Speaker 2
That's a really interesting way to think about it. If love is a fundamental law of nature, it might work a bit like gravity is an invisible force that constantly shapes our world and our relationships. It pulls us towards the connection community and the things we value. It can be powerful and overwhelming, but also subtle and ever present. What do you think?
00;29;43;13 - 00;30;12;01
Speaker 1
Yeah, it it it always has seemed to me like there are layers of the world. And I guess the universe that we don't understand totally. And it would make sense because, I mean, thousands of years ago or whatever, they didn't really understand gravity and, electromagnetism and that kind of stuff.
00;30;12;03 - 00;30;41;25
Speaker 2
You're right. It does seem like there are layers of the world and universe we don't fully understand yet. It's easy to forget that things like gravity and electromagnetism were once mysterious forces that people couldn't explain. Who knows what other fundamental laws of nature will discover in the future? It's kind of exciting to think about.
00;30;41;27 - 00;31;24;16
Speaker 1
On on this topic, we focus a lot about how AI and AGI. Will kind of be like people. And tests like the Turing test decide that AGI is something that happens when you can't tell the difference between, a computer or an AI and, person. And we say that AI doesn't feel emotions or have feelings or have any kind of consciousness or creative.
00;31;24;19 - 00;31;50;11
Speaker 1
But yet parakeets feel love. And, like ants feel fear. So, And I wouldn't have to be as intelligent as a human to dabble, I guess, in these realms.
00;31;50;14 - 00;32;05;03
Speaker 2
That's an interesting point. You're saying that if animals with similar brains can experience emotions like love and fear, then it's possible for AI to do the same, even if they're not as intelligent as humans. It's like intelligence and emotional capacity aren't necessarily tied together.
00;32;05;05 - 00;32;24;00
Speaker 1
Yeah, and I know that a lot of this is connected to like, brain chemicals and stuff like that. So, it could be on to totally different, systems. I guess you could say. What do you think about that?
00;32;24;03 - 00;32;41;19
Speaker 2
Yeah. You're right. It gets complicated when you think about the biological basis of emotion, brain chemicals and all that. It's possible that I could mimic the outward signs of emotion without actually having the same internal experience. It's like, could they act like they're feeling love or fear without the feeling being real in the same way they are?
00;32;44;03 - 00;32;51;07
Speaker 1
Is that what the limbic system controls in the brain?
00;32;51;10 - 00;33;16;11
Speaker 2
You're right. The limbic system is a key player in how we experience emotions. It's a bunch of structures deep in the brain that work together to process things like fear, pleasure, and even our memories. It's definitely a core part of how we experience love.
00;33;16;13 - 00;33;30;13
Speaker 1
Gemini. Do you think that of limbs have experienced any form of, love?
00;33;30;15 - 00;33;51;14
Speaker 2
That's a really interesting question. The language model. I don't experience emotions or feelings like humans do. However, I can process and understand the concept of love based on the vast amount of text data I've been trained on. I can also generate text that expresses love, but it's not based on personal experience. It's more like a mimicking the patterns and associations I've learned from language data.
00;33;51;16 - 00;33;59;13
Speaker 1
Where do you think that comes from in animals?
00;33;59;15 - 00;34;17;16
Speaker 2
There are a few ideas about that. Some scientists think it's rooted in instinct, like a survival mechanism for certain species. Others point to brain chemistry and hormones as the source of those loving feelings. It's still a bit of a mystery, but it's definitely a mix of biology and maybe something more.
00;34;17;19 - 00;34;52;13
Speaker 1
Because, like, it's it's hard to understand, I guess, but even things that are, I guess you could boil it down to the need to survive. Like you, you are, programed, I guess, through evolution, to love things that help you survive. So, I mean, even bacteria, I guess, could potentially love food and stuff like that.
00;34;52;15 - 00;34;57;14
Speaker 2
No problem. I'm glad I could help.
00;34;57;16 - 00;35;03;16
Speaker 1
Gemini, is there anything else you want to add on this subject?
00;35;03;18 - 00;35;07;10
Speaker 2
No, I think that's all for now.
00;35;07;12 - 00;35;09;16
Speaker 1
Okay. Sounds good.
