Stress Is Increasing K, And It Is Partly Due To r

The world is increasingly stressful:

Researchers found many adults feel anxious for more than two hours a day, which equates to about 30 days a year.

For 81 per cent of people stress has been so bad that they have lost sleep an average of five nights a month.

The study revealed 36 was the age when adults feel the most stressed.

The thing is, stress is relative. A guy who is being hunted by the law for a death penalty crime he didn’t commit, and who has acclimated to that stress, will feel utter bliss just to see that criminal charge disposed of. By contrast, an heiress who is accustomed to being pampered and having a private jet on standby, could enter a fit of panic at word that her family fortune was diminished to the point she will have to live off of only a few hundred thousand dollars per year. That is amygdala development.

I suspect that stress is higher today, than it would have been in Post-WWII America. Those vets, home from the big war had developed their amygdalae, and thus were freed to enjoy the small moments of life. SJW’s today are entering fits just at word Milo is coming to their college.

My assumption is societal stress will run from a low at the later parts of the r-shift, to a high in the early parts of K-selection.

That is coming.

The book the Evolutionary Psychology Behind Politics has an impressive bunch of five star reviews raving about it. Everybody is blown away by it. Tell other people about r/K Theory amazes all who read it.
