Episode notes

Jealousy is worse than people think and should never be cultivated, which we all agree on. Compersion came from a non monogamis commune in san francisco. It's not a emotion you can cultivate if what you want to do is maintain your monogamous relationship. This is an emotion that he is saying you should cultivate. By cultivating it will mean that you will be totally comfortable with your partner begging somebody else,. Not even in a masicistic way.

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.
