Weirdly, while we manage many emotions, many people act like sexual jealousy is beyond our control.
Books on how to manage jealousy. Personally, I find that women in the rationalist community are more likely than women in the “gen pop” to be comf with and participate in consensual non monogamous relationships. @primalpoly#HBES2023

Per the past tweet, I recall issues with Dweck — fixed/growth — and left it out of Unfuckology because of them (but don’t recall what they are). It sounds like they may not matter here, but I’ll ask Tania and should remember when I’ve had enough coffee.
Michael Rose on the diet that maximizes healthspan — and lifespan. As I see it, if you don’t have your health and you live long…it’s Hobbesian with a twist: Nasty, brutish, and endless.
First, he lays out the opposing viewpoints.
Important thing to remember to understand slides for this talk: “x” is chronological age.
In 1992, this Hamiltonian theory…and then the curveball it gets thrown, next slide.
In fruitfly data, aging stopped. Nobody believed this. But data turned out to be sound. The notion he has is that aging (decline we go thru) eventually stops. Plateaus. So we are no longer going to shit — we’re not exponentially worsening w/ age, as gerontologists have believed.
Marco del Giudice #HBES2023 talking on a general architecture for motivation, emotion, & personality. Check out his terrific book, “Evolutionary Psychopatholgy.” Well-worth buying despite how academic books cost you several limbs and maybe a first-born child.
Mechanisms that support motivation and personality: reconstructing it from the bottom up, from the specific mechanisms. A mechanistic point of view. These models converge on motivational level of analysis of personality.
Slide is Lukaszewski et al 2020 - doing really breakthrough work in personality with an evolutionary foundation. Missing from social science, which is a huge error.
