So we have been doing a whole bunch of reading into the LS and I came across something I want to share with you guys:
Compersion is a part of an alternative conception of love that is built on abundance and collaboration, rather than possession and territoriality.
If jealousy has been “programmed” into the human psyche due to past adaptational challenges and evolutionary needs, then does the much more recent advent and intentional cultivation of an opposite emotion (compersion) represent a mere outlier of an anomalous counter-evolutionary current? Or rather, does it show evidence for an emerging change in trajectory for human social and relational evolution? I would argue for the latter, because as we look at the specific cultural and environmental differences between the times of our ancestors and our own time, it is clear that the adaptational challenges for survival and reproduction that we face now are very different from those of millions of years ago.
What are your thoughts on compersion vs jelousey/envy?
And are we evolving or are already evolved in this LS and the rest of society/humanity still needs to catch up?
