After a Reddit thread, Im comfortable with a definition of Love as varied resource prioritization where the Loved receives top prioritization. This definition focuses on any actualized treatment (AT) the Loved receives, and not the position of desire (POD) of the Lover. Society should prefer this conception because maximization of AT Love, unlike POD Love, promotes the Good. For instance, high POD might immobilize someone trying to decide how to save friends in a chasm, but high AT love only exists where some were actually saved. Largely, this difference focuses on the consequences of love, rather than the intention of the lover. This concept resolves the question of Who do I love, and is this love? Finally, AT love is analogous with Philia, and POD Love is analogous to Eros.
