Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2021-02-20]: According to a new study that looked at 10 Species of vertebrates, evolution used a kind of universal formula for turning non-Monogamous species into monogamous species - turning up the activity of some genes and turning down others in the brain. [1] So much ink spent on debating whether we are monogamous by design or by choice. And yet, the most important choices are made against the design. And the greatest designs stand against any choice. What defines both is the void in between. You are what you are. Look at your wife. Do you really believe you can love anyone else than you? Do you believe there exists anyone but you? Watch closely. Can you touch the mirror?
