One thing interesting today is the world is highly interconnected. We are all part of a gigantic network. The hierarchies and boundaries of the past are hard to maintain as contentedness increases.
In that context, what effects the Tend and Befriend stress response will have is going to be very interesting to watch imho.
Fight/flight/freeze is clearly causing a lot of chaos, energy and resource wastage of the entire network.
I mean, we've all been involved in endless meetings at work that were supposedly about dealing with some stressful challenge or other, but in fact did nothing except flatter the boss and drive the rest of us even crazier - as opposed to letting us get stuff done and directly address the issue. The "social" response to stress is just like that.
