Open Question: dating is not rational, so why do teenagers partake in it?
Mission
Right around the time a barrel of oil was around $150 USD I stumbled upon an article from an "expert" saying that the solution to resolve hunger was to give more money to poor countries in order to buy more tractors and more agrochemicals! So wrong! Then a thought popped into mind: " Do something! No matter what! Anything is better than nothing! ". Mission: increasing awareness of hydroponics and aquaponics as key tools in fighting hunger around the world.

Hello everyone! How I got into hydroponics is a long story...let's just say that it involves a lot of tedious farm work as a child, unsuccessful 'dirt' gardens of my own and a near electrocution from a semi-submersible hydroponic pump. I've learned that hydroponic gardening is the only way to garden for me and I've been working at it for several years now. I've built ebb/flow, nft, Mittleider, wick and passive systems and I'm always on the lookout for the easiest and most efficient means of hydroponic gardening...If you have questions, I would be more than happy to answer them...
I am a male in grade 11, and I am puzzled. I have been studying emotions and relationships (They are irrational and irrelevant in my life, but knowledge is power) and I am curious as to why my peers allow their emotions to affect them and date. They also plan to get married for some unknown reason. My peers seem spend an inordinate amount of time on dating. At the same time, their grades slip. They would rather spend Friday nights dating, than preparing for their future. I find this an absurd notion, but when I try to discuss it with my peers, they laugh me off. Dating is irrational because: Causes emotions which affect your judgement. Possibility of pregnancy if coitus in involved. Possibility of STI if coitus is involved. Love is not real. It is caused by brain chemicals. No different than Heroin.Marriage is just another industry created for the profit of churches and lawyers. Women also seem to damage careers. I will never get married or date. I respect the right to self determination, but would the time not be better spent on some other project? I usually take the dance time to work on an aquaponics system I am designing for instance. They also miss the opportunity to study that night. Emotions only detract from the logical part of the brain. I am not perfect in this regard, since it has been 2 years since a started eradicating them, and they keep resurfacing. Any way to finally kill them off? Medications?Fun does not cure cancer, happiness does not cure HIV, romance does not end world hunger, and dating does not form a peace treaty in Israel. Logic does. Questions: Why do teenagers waste so much time dating? Why do people bother to get married? How can I kill off my emotions? If hormones ever affect me, however unlikely, what would be the treatment for that?
