Yann Dall'Aglio: Love -- you're doing it wrong

Love -- you're doing it wrong

Modernity's triple process - scientific, political, economic - has reshaped love, making our value a daily negotiation on the 'free market'.

Embracing our inherent 'uselessness' can lead to healthier relationships, fostering tenderness over performance in a love-saturated society.

Modernity disrupts traditional values, leading to a free market of individual desires where one's value is perpetually negotiated.
