"We have to think of the source of our jealousy and realize that it comes from a sense of entitlement, a sense of being possessive," she says. "If only you felt ampathy, you fucking in sensitive, claud you would develop compession." She suggests three strategies for dealing with your partner's sex life: focus on their pleasure, resist considering other people as rivals or just give em a high five.

David and Tamler dive into the book of Ecclesiastes, an absurdist classic that is somehow also a book of the Bible. Is everything meaningless, vain, and a chasing after the wind? Are humans just the same as animals? Are wise people no better off than fools? Will God judge us after we die, rewarding the good people and punishing the shit-heels? What if there is no afterlife and this is all we get? How should we deal with our pointless, unjust existence? Plus we return to our opening-segment bible— Aeon—and talk about an argument for replacing jealousy with...wait for it…compersion.
