Hey! Interesting perspective. I agree on the limited way we see love. We witness people showing love towards their family only to be ruthless with others, creating disharmony in the society.
There are also other type of behaviours which people often confuse with love:lust, necessity, conformity, narcissism, toxic relationships. How many people stay in bad relationships or only for the kids/mortgage confusing that with love?
I think of love as beeing a very noble feeling. And yes the universality of love would mean that an advanced civilization would be able to have compassion and love for all the citizens. I love my kid but I also love your kid because I realize we are all connected and for progress to happen we need more altruism injected in love. Of course that this would require superior intelligence and a different way of society to work.
I believe in AI being able to provide us with more years. Death by aging, while the mind is still in its prime, is a flaw of the humans as a specie. Imagine if all the brilliant scientist wouldn't had to die, being able to still live and provide us with ideas and concepts.
I think our body will be obsolete and our minds will be the ones which will matter. The mind creates the reality, no matter if that is simulation or reality itself. The mind can store massive amounts of data, and the body fails. The mind can love, hate, create, imagine while the body ages. So now I see that it would be better for us to find ways to remain mentally present in the Universe. Somehow.
When the body will dissapear or be reinvented, the shallowness that people have now for chosing the partner only for physical appearance will dissapear. It will be a completely different method of selection, based purely on mind compatibility. Which, I believe, is what trully matters in love. Two minds in love with each other can remain like this forever, that is why the body will be obsolete.
A society of the minds. That would be amazing.
Ok I have written so much lol. My brain loves this kind of talks hihi. Thanks for reading me📖😁
