Philosophising Jealousy

Discuss: Jealousy, philosophy of: analysing its structure and life-cycle. I was discussing this with a partner.
.
Common components:
.
[(3. Fear of) misinformation] - epistemological doubt, either due to information hiding, or deliberate deception, i.e. risk management... (to protect against:
.
[2. Fear of) uncompetitiveness] - loss of power, loss of control, inability to retain objects of desire... (ultimately to avoid:
.
[1. Fear of) separation] - anxiety, physiological, typically.
.
Don't expect the syntax above to be analytical. Lol.

(1) separation anxiety (more basic)
.
(2) loss of social/economic identity (more conceptual)
.
(3) fear of loss (which is kinda preemptive fear of (1) or (2)

Typically, you can analyse jealousy down to a few things:

- (current) separation anxiety

- fear of (future) separation (loss)

- fear of deceit

There may be a bit of this and that here and there ... sure, why not. But is it generally worth worrying about? Probably not.

The bulleted points ... I treat these as luxuries. I generally have managed emotions - emotions are mostly experiences (memory states) which I can generate, reduce, or remove. Since I can increase or reduce the degree of management/non-management, I do whichever is more fun / amusing at any point in time. 

The whole point of having emotions is to allow the conscious part of the body to become subject to the subconscious part.

Biochem notes from August

Cool. Picked up some new hypotheses today. So finally read up on gasotransmitters (G), and it kinda gave me a unifying paradigm for a number of other studies I've been doing. 
.
As it turns out... a number of sports performance levels are tied closely to vasodilation (V) at different scales - some are directly observable in practice without fancy equipment. And V is functionally controlled by G - for example, the popular drug sildenafil works directly on G-V pathways. And G levels can be actively augmented through dietary means, since there is good documentation on what common foods contain precursors (P) that metabolise to G, or G-V-related molecules.
.
The set of P easily includes, { certain polyphenols (quercetin, catechin, being of particular interest), allicin, dealcoholised red wine, l-arginine (itself precursed by l-citrulline) }. At which point I've pretty much identified a framework which helps to rationalise the observable dietary consequences of all the garlic, onions, watermelon, and miscellaneous produce, which constitutes the backbone of my eating habits (and actively managed performance results) these past few years.
.
Aside: the (l-arginine, l-lysine) tuple of metabolites which increase and decrease the rates of various Herpesvirus and other viral replication rates appears to have non-trivial coherence with the (heaty, cooling) tuple of food groupings and and corresponding symptoms in traditional Chinese medicine.
.
All hypothetical of course, but the patterns recognised today made me happy. On we go.

2018-06-04 update on heaty/cooling terminology: for the layperson's casual usage:

1. Maybe comparable to effects on the hydration of membranes. Heaty -> dehydrating; cooling -> hydrating.

2. Maybe comparable to effects on passive metabolic rate / heat generation at rest in cells.
