For people, in person, this is true. But don't make this mistake for apps and websites. Just because you've managed to hook users with skinner box dopamine hits doesn't mean they love you.

Love and be loved by people, not by machines (or corporations, which are just machines). Machines can never love you.

People are machines though. And dogs aren't people.

Just because you say "People are machines though" without blinking, doesn't make it true :-) Dogs rule; but yeah they aren't people.

People aren't machines, true, but dogs are very nearly people!
