I think that you are still using sufficiently different terms from me that a discussion isn’t really possible without further definition of terms.
I don’t think either of us care enough to bother with that just now. For my part (as is rather common) I was just backing up some other guy on a specific point and mostly agree with you.
Where (I think) there may be potential for an interesting discussion in the future is just how often the ‘negative’ emotional adaptions apply to (even) the current environment. Less, obviously, than the EEA but I think we would disagree in how much the ‘negative stuff’ applies here and now. I also suggest a relevant selection effect. We pay attention to the consequences of things like anger, rationalization, denial and even (though I’m extremely hesitant to conceede this one) shame mostly when they are maladaptive. When they are actually working to benefit us we don’t think about them (or bother to go get help from mind hacking instructors).
As you say, it is the sort of thing where precise definition of the terms is necessary. When (and if) I choose (get around) to publishing any of the rough drafts of posts I have laying around there are a couple that touch on this kind of area and I have no doubt you could provide a useful critique!
