This episode deconstructs everybody's favourite topic: love.
For just under 50 minutes, I traverse through the 4 different types of love: familial, storge, eros, unconditional, made popular by the Greeks. Comparing a few dichotomies, I compare a few models of love: from individualist vs kinship, to pro-black vs interracial. I speak about role modelling (using examples of Quavo and Saweetie), the convolution of abuse and love, the extent to which we compromise ourselves socially and biologically and the dating market for black women. Throwing in examples from the arts (books, films and music), I propose that our perception of love is warped and that we need to learn and study it rather than expect it to be intrinsic to us.
