Quote:2. Presuming that we are highly evolved biological machines whose main motivation is to survive and adapt, why, in societies in general, is there such a collective fixation with love? By this I mean the romantic love expressed in movies, pop music etc. In many movies there seems to be one story, that is, there is a hero, things go bad, the hero finds love, the hero fights for love, the bad is defeated, the hero wins the love. Why is this story so deeply ingrained in our collective subconsciousness?It's an experience. Life defining, for most of us. That particular story is deeply ingrained because we deeply ingrain it. Stories don't tell themselves.
Quote:3. Why does justice matter to each of us? If someone harms us or someone we love, we want them to pay the consequences. But why should there be consequences for our actions? That would imply judgement and an judge. What if the person that harmed us was merely executing their right to survival of the fittest?That happens all the time (ish, survival of the fittest likely doesn't mean what you think it does). Stealing a loaf of bread is still theft, as is stealing a car to sell for rent. There's no need for implication, there are judges and judgements.
How about yourself, what do you think about your questions?
