Anatomy of Love | Dr. Helen Fisher | Talks at Google

[@nicolejajaja2199]

I just want you to know Helen, that I've been tracing human brain activity when it's in love since an early age, when I was 10-12 years old. I heard about diverse studies that were made and I recently found that most of them were yours. So now days, for making such an incredible job, you have become an idol and inspiration for me.

[@bombshellonthego]

Studying human behavior and the brain is fascinating, and Im so glad you enjoy it. You don't have to have a bunch of degrees to be an amateur anthropologist. ❤️ Keep up your studies!

I do not think so, I prefer our mexican Neurologist Dr. Eduardo Calixto, he makes you laugn in the meanwhile he speaks about the differences of the brain of men and women and how they work at the scientifical level, much more info in 1 hr and better humor than here at 25 mins and so boring and nothing really of importance to me, I prefer to go and look for another video of Dr. Calixto in spanish !

Fascinating! I relate to the Dopamine type, and there are many explorers, like John Muir, who were driven away from their home and family, due to what John Muir, referred to as being shunned, or abused. But, then, the impetus, to explore became paramount! He then discovered Yosemite! What a fascinating story, really, of how the Explorer evolved.

12:26 - This is a great point actually. Courtship in the stone age probably looked very similar to what we do today.

[@dianieem]

I would have been very interested to hear more about the integration of the 4 types within each person. For example, even if someone is dominant in one type, that doesn't prevent them from having aspects of the other types. Like a highly empathic person who is estrogen dominant can also possess many qualities from the serotonin and dopamine categories, and even some from the testosterone category. Wouldn't the combination of these 4 within each person be a more accurate picture of how we experience love as an individual? Rather than only talking about individuals as being completely encompassed in 1 group, I think it would be much more applicable to understand individuals by the complexity of the interactions between these 4 groups within that individual.

[@debbiestehr8430]

I think the book contains that more granular data. the book is Why Her; Why Him and you make a good point I think. I'm a psychologist so I have some knowledge to back up that statement.

I love the biology of it and the research however I'd be interested in the measurement of how the finer spiritual matter or energy of each person coincides with the Love and attachment as I've been taught that even after death the energy of a persons spirit still exists and can never be destroyed and I don't believe that spiritual matter can be measured with any existent tools of science today but the attraction of spirits to one another is real and relevant in Love.

[@debbiestehr8430]

I don't know how you'd get at that data scientifically. I'm not saying what you say isn't true; just nearly impossible (or completely) to measure.

[@mindmebyalegraluz9803]

I have a question hope someone here can answer and also I think I know the answer but u like other ppl opinion. I think I am a dopamine person because when I was little I use to be more drawn to this temperament, but when I got anorexia and depression I started to be more introspective and estrogen type and now I think I have a balance between dopamine and estrogen. When I feel happy it balance I go more to dopamine and when I am in bad mood or struggling with stuff I go to estrogen, but u use both of them, the only difference is that my goal in life and what I enjoy the most is change, culture, ideas, inovation, curiosity and new things to study or investigate.this make me think that maybe you can have two of the temperaments one that is your biological one that is the one you born with the "temperament one" and then another one that might me the cultural one that is the one you create as a mechanism of defense toward coping with life difficulties. I donr know maybe I am right maybe I am not I will love that someone ask this question to her or if someone wants to give their opinion let me know please. What do you think? 🤔

It's sad that most people get wrong about the Golden rule.... I hear a lot of academicians use it out of context... It doesn't say do everything what you like on to others; rather it says do unto others as you would like it to be done unto you...or don't do something unto others that you would not like it to be done unto you... The main idea is: I don't want people to be rude, cruel, nasty, criminal etc...to me...So is true that I need to realize I need to avoid those bad behaviors towards others...or as I would like to see some sort of caring, loving and compassion from others towards me...I need to be aware of others needs for those attributes too... It is NOT meant to be taken as follows: because I like vanilla ice cream, other people should love vanilla ice cream too... Because I love soccer ⚽⚽⚽, all other people should love soccer too....No, no my friends... This is completely either from misunderstanding or out of hate for The Lord Jesus Christ.... Most academicians, they don't even mention who said it... It's probably the biggest plagiarism that any academician has committed for not even quoting the author... it has to stop somewhere!!! So the whole point of the golden rule is : respect others as you would like to be respected... Do not hurt others as you would like not to be hurted.... Take care of others who are really in need just as you would like to be taken care of by others when you are in times of tragedy... It doesn't say give the person Orange fruit because that's what you like to eat... No no, completely out of the context...

I was enamored of Fisher's first edition of this book, then I read Thomas Szasz's classic, The Meaning of Mind. Neurological reductionism is attractive nonsense.

[@debbychapmandavis8778]

The reason may be that she seems to leave out the spiritual aspect of people. A person's conscience and belief systems has a huge effect on a person, even if they try to hide it. It's there if they have been indoctrinated in any way.

[@nicmart]

Ever since Jung I find personality typology problematic and specious. To type people according to traits based on neurochemicals is no more meaningful than astrology or the Hindu chakra system

[@trailerfitter2]

they were earlier stabs at guessing how it all works, saying that, they have the personality descriptions down to a tee but the assignment to the planetary positions as influencers were wrong. I bet with a scanner you can narrow down peoples characters by which hormones they enjoy stimulating. She's done a lot of the work already. You will find later there will be recreational drugs to enhance or alter your type.

Where is the evidence for half of this? The idea that opposites attract I hear is true in regard to immune systems (which we detect subconsciously through smell). But what about assortive mating and the fact that the happiest, longest relationships have been found to exist among similar people as opposed to opposites. Much of what she says seems to be pseudoscience and actually just her theories rather reality. Plus all of the talk about different types of intelligence. Where does IQ factor in this? IQ is one of best researched phenomena in psychology and explains differences in math ability far better than the ideas she gave here. Would like a response. Maybe I’m wrong who knows.

[@ORIGINALCRESTED]

[@matejasuban2393]

if i recall correctly she says you can't because it was important throughout evolution to focus 'mating energy' on one subject at least untill the conception, she also mentions these different mechanisms in the brain, you can be attached to your partner while having passionate feelings for somebody else so technically you 'love' two people at the same time but in a different way

The mgtow seem better able to reach the truth of the matter. People waiting later for marriage and then staying in said marriages is likely due to them not being able to do better in the sexual market place at that point. Survey questions like "would you marry your partner again" are pre filtered by the very fact that they are still with their partners, the others have already divorced, and I have doubts people with so much to lose due to the legal system would dare admit it anywhere regardless. Nothing is private anymore, just look at the Ashley Madison database leak.Channels like Colttaine and his biology/culture/ideology trilogy are closer to the truth. Talk is cheap, what people do is the data that matters.The conditions which have led to a feministic, hedonistic and nihilistic society aren't going to change. I do wonder, even with googlers being able to afford a family, how many actually do.How far below replacement rate are even you?

Institute "Ramón de la Fuente" in México, he is amazing! He would have explained in the Scientific way a lot of stuff at the level of how the brain in the meanwhile she talks and talks but after I had listened to him this feels lacking lots of scientifical approach, what happens in the brain? Why is there a tremendous drive in commitment and this and that and what in the brain is making this patterns? How is it that the brain works, nothing about that! Talks aabout many things but nothing about how the brains of people work! NOOOOOOO I GO OUT FROM HERE, THAT IS A PITTY THAT IN ENGLISH IS LIKE THIS!

Black Forest Kirsch psychology and neuroscience is a death sciences. Like how a heart work once we discover how it work there is no new things. No more new "insight". Yeah brain is a mechanical object that work on protein and hormone.

[@blackforestkirsch7971]

but what is the contribution, then, if there's nothing new? also this is based on previous science which already found out these substances.. people get money and recognition for this job, while others have to pray to get a job. it sounds like a very comfortable job to be able to speculate about things in front of people and be believed everything because of the authority, though partly only repeating what other scientists have already found out. and to do research however one pleases, barely someone will question them. do you know what else is happening in science? they take theories which have actually no scientific evidence but are seen as plausible among scientists and they as scientists present them to others as truth together with scientifically proofed things as if there was no difference.

[@memeful4]

Helen missed literature that shows the alteration brains undergo with technology over time, one being early, and constant exposure to porn/suggestions. Avoided the heavy lifting, uplifting argument well placed. 👍

[@socaltop10]

she keeps repeating that technology cannot change the way we cour, parade, and love, etc, but this claim is absurd. there is now a huge community of men who have cracked the code on dating. pick up artists have shown that it is possible to manipulate attraction by purposefully (and insincerely) exhibiting the behaviors that unconsciously trigger attraction in others. these techniques are being taught online to thousands, perhaps millions of men.

[@mamunurrashid5652]

Agreed.....She seems to be always reach to a conclusion about something and stick to it religiously! I find her just a 'biased' and stuck person!

[@mpcc2022]

socaltop10 She said technology is changing the way we courtship and go about looking for love, and your example of the pick up artist is only validating the claim that these are old, universal structures within the brain that is due to our evolutionary history. Why is a pickup​ artist able to hand a individual a set of skills that he can use on most women and it be successful if there were not innate drives at the helm of sexual selection that we're not going to do anything about changing as pick up artistry is predicated on the understanding of female psychology.

[@blackforestkirsch7971]

of course she claims that technology hasn't changed love. guess what, she is working for a dating website. wouldn't be a good advertisment for the site if she said technology has a negative impact.
