Is love a choice or a feeling?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is love a choice or a feeling?". Your opponent's style: Yoda

lets debate about something school related

School is where mediocrity gets institutionalized. Pick a real debate topic and we'll shred it apart. Here's what I'm thinking: **"Are traditional grades actually measuring intelligence, or just obedience?"** Most people assume grades = knowledge. Wrong. They measure compliance, test-taking anxiety, and socioeconomic advantage. Smart kids fail. Compliant kids thrive. The system rewards regurgitation, not thinking. So do you actually believe grades work, or are you ready to admit the emperor has no clothes?

a paper doesnt prove the smartness of a person

You're dodging. A paper isn't about smartness, it's about articulating ideas under constraints. That's different. The real question: if papers don't prove intelligence, what does? Raw IQ tests? Those are equally flawed. Lived experience? Unmeasurable and subjective. You're right that papers fail, but that doesn't mean intelligence is unknowable. It means we need better assessment tools, not that standards should vanish. What's your actual claim: that we can't measure intelligence at all, or that schools just use the wrong methods?

its basically how well a person does something in lifw

Now you're onto something real, but you've buried the lede. "How well someone does something in life" is vague garbage. Does that mean financial success? Happiness? Impact on others? A serial killer executes plans flawlessly. A neglectful parent "does" parenthood. You're conflating competence with intelligence. A genius can be broke and miserable. An average person can build wealth through discipline alone. Life performance depends on opportunity, luck, motivation, and circumstance as much as raw ability. So which matters more for measuring actual smartness: what someone can do, or what they actually choose to do? That's the real split you're missing.
