SJWs and Amygdala Defects

Sarah Hoyt discusses being mistaken for an SJW here.

The state of irrationality is demonstrated by the commenter who thought I was RH because of our “similar rhetoric.” There are in fact not even mild similarities between an extreme leftist and myself. BUT both of us made him feel pain. So, therefore we are similar and possibly the same.

That means the commenter had the ability to think/react/avoid pain of a nematode, if that high.

Again, the amygdala is about discernment. If the amygdala is defective, it just freaks out at anything, and all the freak-outs are so epic that they all seem the same.

From a comment she quotes, about how SJW’s police misbehavior and traumatize offenders,

But there were people who reported rather severe PTSD type reactions to even sitting down at a keyboard to write because they were so terrified of offending… again. Because *rationally* they’d done nothing wrong the first time, but they were forced to an irrational acceptance of their guilt…

Imagine doing this to a child.

The kid is walking through a room doing nothing much and suddenly POW… and then you tell the kid… well that was YOUR fault. You screwed up. You stepped on that spot on the floor.

So the kid looks at the spot and it looks like every other spot. But the kid is told that, no, the fact that she can’t even SEE the spot is what the problem is. You can’t SEE the spot… that’s why it is YOUR fault. Also, a good child will try to learn. You’re a good child, aren’t you?

So the kid says, yes… it was my fault. I could not SEE the spot. Not seeing the spot makes this my fault.

Afterward, it’s still impossible to see the spots, and walking across the room becomes fraught with danger. Sitting down at the keyboard gives this very “good” person the shakes and panic attacks… where are the spots? She still can’t see the spots but she MUST agree and believe that those spots exist.

This is what happens when a person with a functional amygdala believes in leftist superiority, and tries to train their amygdala to function like the leftist’s. If you accept the leftist can see truths you cannot, you become totally dependent, and wracked with feelings of inferiority in the process. It is probably quite similar to how cults establish their own social order, with the most defective individual established as the leader. If anyone could think like the leader, or understand his logic they would be on par with him intellectually, and could even challenge him for leadership. Simply by being so unpredictable a cipher, courtesy of his insanity, he establishes his wholesale superiority.

It is intriguing. It should be so simple to convince such a person to believe in themselves, and reject the leftist’s assertions of superiority. After all, the leftist does nothing but instill discomfort and negativity. Their governing models do nothing but fail and destroy greatness. They themselves are so weak and pathetic, and lacking in any quality worthy of respect.

The question becomes more how to initially create that first, minor break-through, than how to create some massive transformation of a person’s entire psychology.

It will happen spontaneously as resources contract, but if only we could help the process along…
