Emotion and memory are connected. And emotion is connected with perception and pleausure of senses.
All this connections was knows from many centuries in the yoga and meditation practice
Consciousness can esists also without the object of perception because is over the duality subject/object. In a room we have perception of the objects forma the light. But in a room empty of objects we can see the light because the light autoreveal her self. In an equal mode is the consciousness
We live in strange days! Really we can think that desire is predictable and measurable? The right question shoud be how much we dont know of the human nature?
>Really we can think that desire is predictable and measurable?
We don't have to think of it philosophically.
If researchers can train some ML algorithm to predict it, then it is predictable, end of story.
If not, it's open (it could still be predictable and they couldn't come with the right algorithm, or it could just be too fuzzy, or even impossible to measure).
That said, if we drop it from "love" to simple "desire", then most of it should be fairly predictable and measurable with very small margin of error.
Humans are not that much of unique snowflakes as they say. In a given culture, the majority of the population will converge a lot in what they find attractive and what they don't -- this has been studied before.
Trying to predict desire might be easy, but predicting happiness in a relationship hard. It's like a weather simulation after the first 10 days - becomes too hard to compute.
Besides attraction, other things might come into play in predicting relation happiness - such as dialogue style, extraversion/introversion, specific needs of one in relation to the strengths of the other and specific situations in life the couple has to deal with. Some of these things might emerge from a psychological interview, others happen dynamically and are impossible to predict.
And most people are very time sensitive - the same person might be available now that was not a week ago. The availability for dating of some people measures in just months between long term relationships, so they are like 99% of the time unavailable even if they are compatible. Searching for a mate is hard because most compatible people are presently attached and you got to get them at the right time. That might be mitigated by going on a dating site, but unfortunately dating sites are full of people who are there for other reasons than serious relationships.
I think that there is much hype on ai and neuroscience. Actually we know many thinks of the brain as organ but we know really little about mind think and consciousnes. There isn't scientific evidence that consciousness have a material origin. And actually all the air we do is based on weak ai
