"Online-dating platforms can tell us a lot about potential partners, but people are not made of steady data points, and love is not just about matching interests. There is no higher praise these days than being data-driven. A person who is data-driven is free of bias, and cuts through arguments with a sword of truth. No longer do we need to fumble through life. The answers will come. We will know how to respond, just what to do. We will let the data tell us!" [...] "Axioms work well in the realm of pure numbers and physics, but they are often superficially applied to biology, and especially so when applied to the social sciences.
Exactly the point
we assume the data of a system to be both consistent and complete. This
is when axiomatic logic at its most naïve and dangerous."

“To be universally liked is to be relatively ignored.”
"Having haters somehow induces everyone else to want you more. People not liking you somehow brings you more attention entirely on its own. [...] be yourself and be brave about it."

"To enter a relationship is not to compliment your “likes,” but to undergo a confrontation to identity, to enter a process" [Alain Badiou]
For Badiou, love is an existential project, a constantly unfolding quest for truth. This quest begins with the chance encounter, an event that forever changes two individuals, challenging them “to see the world from the point of view of two rather than one.” This, Badiou believes, is love’s most essential transforming power." daqui
Alain Badiou diz que, segundo Jacques Lacan: "Love, as a suplement, to the lack of sexual connection can only come to be, by chance. So we have an opposition between sexual searcher and the chance of love. So, the sexual belongs to the order of being — of Nature—, and love belongs to the order of the event."
"It is love that comes aboard being in the encounter." [J. Lacan]
