Stoicism is a state in which you only regulate what is out of balance, and only identify with balances you can regulate. It seems optimal for single individuals, but I would expect that it should be disadvantaged by evolution for species that form cooperative groups.

Ah, that does make sense! I’m sure stoicism does accommodate this to some degree, otherwise it would stifle innovation and it seems too obvious of a problem to have been overlooked by them

There are not many stoics around, so equanimity may indeed not what produced our kind of innovative society :)
