This is the reason Europe is swarmed with Muslims:
A 41-year-old tourist was bitten by a crocodile after she reportedly squatted down to pose with the reptile while taking a selfie.
The French woman was with her husband visiting the popular National Park of Khao Yai in Thailand which is three hours north of Bangkok, when the attack took place.
Reports have emerged suggesting that the woman wanted a picture with the massive crocodile so she crouched down with her husband near the animal.
While the picture was being taken, the croc is then thought to have pounced, sinking its teeth into the woman’s thigh.
They say thigh, but you take selfies while pointing away from what you are selfie-ing with. I’ll bet she got bit in the ass.
Human populations are an adaptable machine. Show them harshness and danger, and between individual adaptation and Darwinian culling of the most maladapted, you will get a population that is genetically designed and practically adapted to see danger and avoid it easily. That population is the type of population which would have maintained its borders and kept the Muslim hordes at bay.
But all the rare stories of crime that are blown out of proportion aside, it is nearly impossible to get yourself killed today. You can do just about anything, and never suffer any real consequence.
The result is that nature will actually produce a woman who sees a crocodile, and decides to pose next to it for a selfie, without the slightest fear in the world.
That dumbass woman, getting bit in the ass by a crocodile while taking a selfie with it, is actually a prime example of the very neurocognitive mechanism which is killing Western Civilization.
You can’t make this stuff up.
Tell others about r/K Theory, because if you don’t we will all get bit in the ass by the rabbits
[…] Peak Amygdala Deficiency? Woman Attacked Posing For Selfie With Crocodile […]
I wonder if similar mechanisms underpin another of mistaken threat identification: The flip side of failure to recognize existential demographic hazards to a civilization could involve excessively adversarial stances towards non-existent or very limited dangers.
I’m thinking specifically of the impression that nationalist dissidents are fascists on the order of the nazis. This is in part political posturing. But a remarkable number people seem to sincerely believe this. The strength of conviction seems visceral and pre-rational.
(An r-strategist like a rabbit may startle easily, because it makes little sense for it to exercise much discrimination as to what is a threat.)
In any case, among my studies, I continue to read your book. I am fortunate enough now to have access to a large variety of academic journals. I intend to examine the source material for your work.
Your command of the biological facts and the interest of the thesis makes me quite intrigued as to why you are the “anonymous” conservative. Whatever your motives, the efforts you make are enlightening and very much appreciated.
It is interesting. I think the key is, what has their amygdala adapted to recognize, and trigger in response to. They hear conservatism a lot around the nation, it bothers them, and the more they hear it the more they are conditioned to react to it. It is pavlovian.
On the other side, they have never been raped by a migrant, or seen a crocodile. So they feel no fear there. So even though their amygdala cannot tolerate any stress, migrants do not freak them out and cause the stress to begin with. Perhaps to the extent that migrants freak us out, bringing them in even makes their amygdala feel less threatened by us, because it is a way to lash out at us and the ideals we espouse that trigger them.
There is an element of amygdala development that is based around pattern recognition, which does seem to be lacking in liberals. Global warming is now man made, even though if you look at the graphs, the patterns indicate the temperature has always fluctuated. We can analogize threat indicators, but liberals cannot, perhaps because their amygdalae have not seen enough threats to notice there are patterns you can notice among them.
Liberals are genuinely terrified of global warming, they’re not just faking it to get money and power. As one frustrated liberal shouted at Donna Brazile after the election, “You and your friends will die of old age and I’m going to die from climate change. You and your friends let this happen, which is going to cut 40 years off my life expectancy.”
Meanwhile in liberal-land, smoking is bad because it takes seven years off your life expectancy, but homosex is fine because it only takes 25 years off your life expectancy!
Do not forget how healthy Joints are.
Do you mean that the woman bitten by a crocodile is not a daring courageous K-type competing with crocodiles, because her amygdala doesn’t even smell danger?
