@cpnjacksparrow I would have to debate that. Perhaps not consumer'ism" but consumption is quite natural. I also think our reactions to things like the perception of scarcity is natural (all mammals experience this.) Although being intelligent enough to create a false-sense of scarcity at a complex level may be intellectually different. I'd have to observe some other primates to see if they hide food from each other 😂 . I agree that motivation is very subjective. Comparing I think is evolutionary but also (as is competition) but I gather when adults do it excessively (keyword excessively because we all do sometimes) it can be a sign of some kind of arrested development or anxiety disorder. No condemnation toward illness but if anxiety becomes an illness it's worthwhile to check all external interpretations against the possibility of being "Just paranoid." %%%Shrugs%% Idk, I'm no doctor. But perhaps I need to ask one lolololol
