Can We Change Our Nature
Dear [Mentat],
Now, on EP [Evolutionary Psychology] being about the past and how we must not take it to mean that human behavior is irrevocably dictated by the past, I found your words uplifting. It is true that we’ve overcome many tendencies like the eye for an eye philosophy; brutal behaviors that favored the perpetuation of the genes of those who employed them. We don’t generally kill our competitors anymore, though in some light, that would be one sure way to raise our odds of getting healthy offspring into the next generation. Hopefully in our life time, people will overcome their need for fully-functioning mates. Perhaps to bring this about, we’d do well to help get people to Self Actualization, where they’ll likely be more receptive to serving us, like those elderly Lions Club people are that I discussed previously. But in order to do this, we’d need to be self actualized ourselves, which we cannot truly be unless we’re truly loved. What a dilemma!
I will read the material on the web site you supplied, and we can discuss it when next we chat on the phone. Finding ways to escape having to blindly follow evolution is right up our alleys, particularly since sheer evolutionary forces would likely lead us to dead ends. 
Now, on to your comments on my seeking pity from women: I will write on this in the next post.
