Yes.

cultural social pathology, maybe. maybe not. it’s difficult to imagine an early pack of humans not being concerned with how they rank one to the other.

i don’t think that would be pathological. that would be survival. you’d want the best looking mate, the best tools, the best deal, the best cave, whatever. because you’d want to reproduce best and strongest.

we’d only know what our odds are versus how everyone else is doing locally.

if I had a cave-babe with better hips than my cohorts, i’d be feeling pretty damn good about how things are going. It wouldn’t matter if she were a crappy specimen compared to what’s going on in asia or the aleuts. All that matters is my immediate point of reference. i’m talking how we were wired when we began as hairy packs of proto-humans…

I truly believe the way we were wired when we first started out has effects today.

Clearly in terms of obesity, in my opinion, it’s because we are wired to pig out when we see piles of food. in olden times, food was scarce and when you killed a mammoth you had to eat like crazy, because it might be awhile till the next feeding. now that food is everywhere, our basic wiring is not suited for the environment.

Ignore your deep wiring at your own peril.

pretend you are enlightened if you want, that you are above the fray.

i don’t believe you.

if you were enlightened in sucha manner, YOU WOULDN”T BE ON A CHAT BOARD DISCUSSING THESE TOPICS!!! me either…

see ya at the next kill…i get the liver….

btw, i am no saying it is desireable to be this way…just that we are that way and that it may be inextricable from our nature. awareness can help to some degree, but it may be as deep and strong as your sex drive and your requirement for oxygen…

To tell you the truth scaredy cat, I can not win this argument because you are dead set on avoiding the self-fulfilling prophecy of being depressed all day if you admit you lose ;).

The things you say seem to apply to people who are easily impressed, maybe vain. Individuals have the ability to analyze and calculate and ration both reactions to this comparision syndrome and things like piles of food, to the right degree…If you can’t I call that a personal problem, perhaps a mistake, it has nothing to do with me “pretending”. There may be an apparent hierarchy to you, but “happiness” doesn’t align with it in any consistent manner. It aligns with attitude.

To me there is no absolute hierarchy with winners and losers…just people in different situations.
