Research on sex-based cognitive differences from Stanford University’s magazine on medicine published this week indirectly highlights the “anti-science” attitude that runs throughout modern progressive thought.
Bruce Goldman, a science writer for Stanford University Medical School’s Office of Communication & Public Affairs, wrote about the sex-based cognitive differences in the Spring 2017 edition of Stanford Medicine magazine. In a June 5 blog post, Goldman highlighted the findings of research on the different ways male and female brains function.Progressives have been somewhat successful in convincing the public that the Democratic Party is the party of science. But research into sex-based cognitive differences seriously brings this into question by confirming that the human mind does, in fact, have static and innate properties that influence behavior.
Consider Harvard professor Steven Pinker’s 2002 book, The Blank Slate. Pinker, who is politically moderate, argues that the denial of innate human instincts runs deep and pervasive in modern society, despite significant scientific that the mind has static properties that shape our behaviors. The mind isn’t a blank slate waiting to be shaped by society, Pinker argues.
I mainly highlight this to point out how fun it will be when half the nation believes unflinchingly in r/K, while the left is completely triggered by it, and unable to even speak about it. Notice how as r/K continues to spread throughout the online right, there is almost no leftist pushback on it. Leftists cannot even contemplate it long enough to oppose it.
I have thought it is not impossible that when r/K truly breaks out, it may cruise into acceptance with little more than shadowy attempts to coerce professors to not discuss it, since leftists appear unable to contemplate it long enough to formulate a feasible argument against it.
It is just a unique quirk of the nature of the idea and how it clashes with leftist minds.
Tell everyone about r/K Theory, because it may get less pushback than you could even imagine
[…] Liberals Can’t Do Science Because They Can’t Take Reality […]
Professors will have to discuss it. Biological selection (r/K) is the underpinning of natural selection. K adaptations are the result of resource limiting effects of too much r.
Humans have built-in programs. Humans can be socially conditioned for behaviors. So, humans are part hard-wired and part “blank slate.” That’s why political groups fight for control of education, media, and law-making.
education is epigenetic, so it’s still genetic, just a case of suppression
Election news from the UK: the cuckservatives lost, they’ll be ruined by a nascent EU-phile leader, and the attempted ‘Progressive Alliance’ by the r-types failed to win them a majority as they expected. Any coverage or predictions would be appreciated. p.s. EU still terrible.
I’m very much enjoying these blog posts. They’re a bit wordy, but the subject matter is intriguing. I’m surprised to see it not garner as much attention as blogs like Chateau Heartiste. Something about it being neuroscience as opposed to picking up women probably has something to do with it. I imagine neatly packaging the content might help with virality.
I’ve been contemplating the foreseeable “collapse” that’s often discussed… Would the collapse be economic based primarily, or would it also include the swarthy rabbit “refugees” seeking to convert the West into Sharia?
It may take decades. If the rabbits produce offspring, who are further brainwashed with radical Islam, would the offspring also be rabbits, or would the environment shift them towards a more K selected mindset? I ask this because I am unsure if the K-shift in the Western people, and the ensuing war, would force the rabbit offspring to flee, or if they would resist and stay due to their psychology. These are people, despite being raised in Europe, become more radical than their parents, and go as far as blowing themselves up for 72 virgins.
That being said, they’re far more radical, which may indicate sensitive amygdalas… And if they are indeed still rabbits, would they flee, or just resort to more extreme tactics for the sake of religion?
My opinion is the economic collapse will hit first, it will turn on amygdalae, and that will produce violence, especially everywhere there is diversity. Diversity is unnatural in times of K. When resources are slim, dopamine is short, and amygdalae are all lit up, we are programmed to in-group and go at it.
My feeling is most of the Muslims who fled the fighting in their homelands, came to the west because it is peaceful and rich. Take away the peaceful and the rich, and their choice will be a familiar war-torn land where they fit in, and a strange war-torn land where they do not, and where they are targets. I suspect most will flee “home.” The kids who are born here, and the native Muslims will be problems, but that is what wars are for.
I think information like this is what lots of people try to ignore, they call science “theory” because often times people don’t want to face facts.
