It's easier than ever to be jealous.

In an age of endless content, perfected social feeds, stimulation at our fingertips and poorly evolved biology, it's easier than ever to be jealous. Or enraged. Or disaffected. You get the idea. I decided to reread the Greek myth of Pandora's box recently and oooh boy it got me thinking. Would love your thoughts as always. 0:00 - Everyone is jealous!0:55 - The jist of Pandora's box2:52 - Is hope inherently good?3:43 - What Friedrich Nietzsche has to say about the matter4:13 - Hope and content placation5:35 - We are incentivized to be lurkers6:48 - Dunbar's number and relationships9:35 - Fatigue and lack of context 11:00 - We're all looking at each other, looking at ourselves11:35 - How jealousy can be helpful 12:22 - Consumption reflection Referenced links: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora%27s_box- http://nietzsche.holtof.com/reader/friedrich-nietzsche/human-all-too-human/aphorism-71-quote_d3cd42c76.html- https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20191001-dunbars-number-why-we-can-only-maintain-150-relationships - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5609545/ Listen to Kattle Considerations on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11FX5G68eYPdSlnrZYq7To?si=c10ebb89d0a842ff Find me elsewhere: https://linktr.ee/katebrunotts Spotify (Music): https://open.spotify.com/artist/1vV2HAeSNkp97JK2tPpEoN?si=vjGI6UlqSMa0G8ReQieLeQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katebrunotts/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@katebrunotts
