It would be an extraordinary event in human history if jealousy didn't play at least some role here. But I think more than that it's become an identity thing.

It would be an extraordinary event in human history if jealousy didn't play at least some role here. But I think more than that it's become an identity thing. A social signal. So it's not really worth arguing about. Share you own thoughts and move on, don't get invested in debating it here. Elsewhere, perhaps, but not here. I do want to add that while I don't completely agree with all your comments in this thread, I do appreciate seeing someone express an opinion on the topic that isn't a copy/paste of countless others before it.
