Episode notes
Our evolutionary history has equipped us with the ability to be safe with others and to be a loving and compassionate species. Although we inherited a threat machine in our brainstem, we also have newer systems that allow us to play, dance, and experience moments of intimacy. However, the current predatory operating environment challenges these systems. The question arises whether a society can be informed by polyvagal theory, and the answer is that we need to shift our goals from acquiring more stuff to greater creativity and problem-solving. When not in states of threat, we exhibit benevolence towards others and remarkable creativity.
