On Nov. 1, 2006, I found my wife, Adrienne Shelly, dead in her West Village office. Adrienne, an actor and filmmaker, had been brutally murdered by a 19-year-old undocumented Ecuadorean construction worker; he later said they were having an argument and, fearing she would report him and have him deported, he killed her and staged her death so it would appear to be a suicide. Our daughter was just 2 years old at the time…
Adrienne’s killer, Diego Pillco, plea-bargained a murder conviction that sentenced him to 25 years with no parole and no ability to appeal… Her killer will be deported upon his release, walking this earth a free man at 44 years old, while Adrienne’s vibrant life was snuffed out at 40.
His reason for killing Adrienne, and the relatively lenient sentence he received, certainly feeds Mr. Trump’s xenophobic, fear-mongering narrative. But beyond the rhetoric, there’s no clear cause and effect. His rationale was no different from that of an American citizen who in the act of a crime kills his “witness” to avoid prosecution and imprisonment. Attributing his heinous act to his immigration status dilutes the more relevant truth..
America was created by, is governed by and… is inhabited by immigrants and their descendants… We should be thanking them, as America’s greatness is attributed to their blood, sweat, vision, perseverance, dedication and brilliance.
Notice the difference. A wolf will fight to the death to protect its pack. A rabbit can eat right next to the dead body of a mate it had pups with, and not blink an eye.
r-strategists lack amygdala, which is the organ which produces the bad sensations that you will feel if you love someone and they come to harm. This guy has no amygdala, which is very good for him in an r-selected environment. He can not only let his wife’s killer go, and avoid the danger many K-strategists would feel drawn to. He can import more killers to kill other people, and force K-strategists into circumstances they are not designed for – namely watching their loved ones killed and letting it go themselves.
r-strategists liberals are programmed traitors, and disloyal to everyone – even their own family.

Trump: A Geometry of Emotions
We are sending the enclosed material out to the Psychology Departments of all the universities in America. Its relevance to Trump is seen in Section 5 on Slavery in the attachment. Fairness in this very tight race demands you give the reasons cited why scientists should support Trump some exposure.
Dear Colleague,
Physical illness or abnormal physiology was severely limited in its understanding and treatment prior to science’s clarification of normal physiology. It should not be surprising, then, that mental illness or abnormal emotion and the behavior that flows from it would also be limited in its understanding and treatment given the inadequate picture we currently have of the normal emotions that people experience and use in their everyday lives.
Of course, most psychological professionals now (as with most medieval medical practitioners back then) will object vigorously to this slight and slur on the helping occupation they have devoted their lives to. But please don’t be offended. An illustration, indeed one that has some relevance to this year’s raucous presidential election, will make the point without hurting anybody’s feelings.
It is well known by psychologists and by politicians that “iffy” endeavors are best entered into with low-expectation in order to minimize disappointment if the effort fails and maximize the elation and sense of value of success when that is the outcome. But there is no theory for why this happens, no “proof” of this precept other than the hard fact of it gotten from repeated introspective observations. The Geometry of Emotion provides an underlying theoretical framework for it and for a wide range of other universal cognitive relationships, normal and abnormal, using mathematics that even severely math compromised psycho-professionals can understand assuming that every PhD and MD in the field got a B or better in simple algebra on the road to getting the high blown tags that now decorate their names. We cut to the chase quantitatively in the matter without further introduction on the attachment.

Diego Pillco, hang the fucker.
Meh. In an r-selected world, he could always find a younger, hotter wife.
I like the idea of asking everyone “What should be the penalty for murder?” Answers may be anything from a single word to a ten-page essay, all signed and archived in an official registry. When someone is convicted of murder, pull the perp’s and the victim’s answers (or their parents’ answers in the case of minors), and apply whichever one is more severe.
For example, the Norwegian Labor Party passed a law that no one shall be put to death, nor imprisoned for more than twenty-one years for any reason. So when Anders Behring Breivik massacred 77 of their children, he got twenty-one years!

His “rational” was completely different to a native criminal!
He feared deportation!
Give me strength.
