First article I see on Free Republic:
Bisexuality is booming, with the number of people who bed men and women more than doubling, a study says.
Some 7.7 percent revealed they had bi romps in 2014, compared to 3.1 percent in 1990…
In the same period the percentage of men who reported having had sex with at least one man rose from 4.5 percent to 8.2 percent.
And the number of women who said they had bedded at least one female leapt from 3.6 percent to 8.7 percent.
It is no coincidence the US President is the most leftist President in history, or that the nation is more polarized than ever. As the collapse closes in and the K-shift takes hold, this will reverse.
But for now, the reversal in sex-specific traits and sexual-dimorphism that accompanies r-selection is mixing with reduced sexual selectivity, leaving a mass of mating machines that just want to seize any opportunity to pass genes forward in any other human, even if it is futile.
r-selection is all about numbers over fitness. Fifteen three eye’d mentally retarded hunchback’d homunculi children beats two US Navy SEALs and an Olympian. This is how you get to those fifteen physically-deformed cretins.
One in three babies in Germany are born to parents who haven’t tied the knot, according to a new report.
The report by the Cologne Institute for Economic Research this week showed that 35 percent of babies born in Germany in 2014 came into the world with unmarried parents.
Interestingly, the capitalist west lags behind, with a much lower rate of unwed parents than the formerly communist east. The free resource provisioning of socialism/communism is an r-stimulus, both selecting for r-selection, and fostering the adaptation of brains to exhibit it.
Place people in an environment where they need to fight and compete, and you will stave off the slide to r. Provide free resources and uniform satiety, absent any need to fight, and brains will immediately begin to go r, and the longer they experience it the farther it will go.
A little farther down at Free Republic:
What has happened in France is tragic and calls for human sympathy. Beyond that, there is nothing we can usefully do – other than make matters worse.
We all know something changed these past few decades. A human race which rendered entire species extinct, and constantly fought for conquest after conquest, suddenly began giving everything away as fast as possible and seeking out their own defeat. At the same time, sexual mores changed, morals degraded, loyalty evaporated, and our societies ceased caring about the upbringing of children.
The slide toward leftism produced by resource availability and safety is a programmed adaptation of the human brain, shifting a K-selected reproductive strategy designed for danger and shortage, into an r-selected reproductive strategy designed for exploiting a glut. If you understand the system, and how amygdala atrophy or exercise produces it, the entire world appears totally different.
As time goes on and people spread this concept amongst each other, this will inevitably change the very view of historical events. With luck, it might even one day mold history itself.

Since virtual reality and the developing contraceptive technologies offer endless rabbitry while remaining sterile.
Perhaps r-selection can be thwarted that way.
Yeah, that’ll definitely help.
While r-adaptation results from atrophy of the right amygdala, I have to wonder how left-amygdala atrophy would be expressed. If I understand things correctly, that side is responsible for recognizing positive stimuli, so while atrophy on the right side results in diminished threat recognition, the other side might result in diminished opportunity recognition.
I wonder if conspiracy theorists might exhibit this form of development.
Interesting… Could be, though lately I have become more conspiratorial, and I think it arose from encountering more reality and processing it. So I would think some part of my brain grew, after seeing more data.
Could be the balance between right and left.
I’m not sure exactly how it would be expressed. This seems to suggest that paranoid individuals actually exhibit higher left amygdala activity, which contradicts what I would have guessed. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25815418
Although if the structure were underpowered, higher activity could be a sign of being overwhelmed. A rabbit seeing bullets flying around would have a higher level of amygdala activity than a Delta operator, whose amygdala might be indistinguishable from a normal person getting the morning paper.
I might be wrong. Paranoid schizophrenics show higher left amygdala activity. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25815418
