One Swedish official has big dreams for workers in his small town: a paid, hour-long break for leaving work to have sex.
Per-Erik Muskos, a council member for Övertorneå, proposed the motion for his town of roughly 2,000—and his cause has quickly captured attention worldwide. Muskos said his idea is “about having better relationships,” the Swedish Local and AFP report.
If the environment is K-selected, people will focus on tasks at hand, and deprioritize sex during working hours. But as things become r, it just makes sense to bail for an hour mid-day, to fit in a sex break.
What is funny is how you are dealing with almost two different species, neither of which makes sense to the other. If you are a K, and your amygdala is obsessed with completing tasks, it is baffling this imbecile would even think of entering this bill into the record for a vote. You would assume there must be something wrong with him.
But if you are a rabbit without a care in the world, your amygdala will not trigger in the least on this, and you will wonder how anyone could possibly oppose such a commonsense measure. Notice how the r-strategist is not designed to obsessively focus on goals, and eschew hedonism in pursuit of success. They are simply not designed for the competitive environment. They are designed for the only environment where there is no competition – the r-selected environment.
Spread r/K Theory, because you don’t want to play for a company employee’s nookie time

Unless it comes with another hour for a nap, it’s useless to me.

I am starting to wonder whether a gene difference can be identified. I heard something about altruism genes, oxytozine-related.
