This analysis seems to cheapen the concept of "love" that people have because love then only results because of involuntary biological instinct.
I would say we are incapable of doing anything that is not an involuntary biological instinct.
Try it. You instinct tells you to believe that you have free will. Now will yourself to believe otherwise. Try it, you can't
