Teem migrants go on a rampage:
In the latest incident, the Swedish newspaper Expressen, quoting Ingela Crona from the local police in Kalmar, reported that a violent riot broke out at the centre.
‘They broke loose, and a total of 19 people banded together and did this,’ she told the newspaper, which reported that the men were carrying makeshift weapons.
The violence started after staff refused a request for a resident at the refugee centre to buy sweets, John Nilsson, from the local police force, told Barometern newspaper.
‘[They] became furious with the staff member,’ he added. ‘He collected together around 15 friends and the staff were forced to shut themselves in while they broke windows and did what they liked…’
Children’s asylum applications are fast-tracked ?in Sweden, prompting some grown men to lie and say they are teenagers. ?
Expectations of free resource availability, opportunistic application of violence on the weak if they think they can get away with it by males who fled real combat, and lack of rule-adherence, lack of honor, and immorality due to amygdala deficiency. Migrants are r-strategists.
Examine the three ‘children’ in these pictures. One is of Ahmad Farid, who claimed he was 16 but appears at least 18 or more in the snap in which he is laughing as he’s given a fluffy toy polar bear at a refugee reception centre.
Ahmad appears to have hair on his chin, and his powerful physique can be seen under his shirt.
The second is of Saad Alsaud, reported to have been the fastest 14-year-old in Sweden, dwarfing schoolboys and girls as they join him for a run.
Again, if your amygdala is functional, you notice these things, and they trigger anger and disgust. Even this news site is using this amygdala-triggering property of these stories to get clicks (as am I). Even though this principled trait of humanity is weaker than normal due to r-selection, it is still overwhelmingly present.
Yet the leadership of our nations seem so amygdala-deadened that none of this triggers any of them at all. For the leadership there is no honor, there is no right or wrong, there is no moral or value capable of touching their outrage. There is only desperate bad-feel avoidance. It isn’t difficult to see how our economic and governing structures are so clearly careening toward destruction, without any leader having a care in the world.
Apocalypse does not happen by chance.
[…] Spanking and Amygdala Development […]
Funny you should bring this up. I went over the studies.
https://disenchantedscholar.wordpress.com/2016/01/24/the-anti-spanking-initiative-is-r-selected/
I don’t how Spanking has an r/K since most people are spank in America and Australia and yet you still have both r people and K people.
Hitting child has actually decrease to just hitting on the butt. If you look in the past hitting child used to include using iron rod and hitting over over the body. In fact childhood got better in the western world before the 20th century including letting the child say what is on their mind, and I would say it is an up and down.
Many Germans (remember Germany never had an enlightenment) in the past before WW1 and WW2 used to get some of the worst punishments for minor things and the mood of the teacher or parent. Hitler got beaten up so bad by his father that he would pass out. Children being taught to follow the rules was so important in German, is it hard to even wonder why the main line said at the Nuremberg trials “is that we were just follow the orders”.
The problem with spanking is the randomizes of it. Many time parents will spank on the mood that they are in and will pushiest older sibling more differently then the younger ones. If they are upset more likely to piss them off they will spank and yet the same action by the child might not cause them to go off.
Many mothers in Britain will spank their 3 month old. I don’t know hat age you would say is ok to spank but 3 month old is a little hard to accept. The worst used of spanking (and child abuse) is in the Muslim world where the crime of saying the wrong thing will cause you get punish. This include wiping and many other objects to hurt the child into submission. You have said in the past that Muslims are mostly r, so how does the spanking go with the r/K in the Muslim world?
I know you might bring up Sweden (since they ban spanking in the 70s), well the different between Sweden and America is not just spanking. It is also the growing numbers of babies sent to Day Care even at time at 3 months years old. On a side note my friend who is Swedish and never got spank is now a police officer and is go up in order (I know this doesn’t disprove your point since it is one case) but the different is that his father got him into church early on and never got sent to day care.
The reason I am pointing out day care is that many children are sent there and developed attachment issues later on in life and not to mention a increase of addition. One would also would need to look at the single parent homes vs a two parent homes. Many of the trouble I would say might come from the farther not being in the house.
I would recommend listening to Stefan Molyneux “Bomb in the Brain” series on youtube. Reading or listening to “The Origins of War in Child Abuse” by Lloyd deMause is also good (it is also on Stefan Molyneux since he reads it off). I would also recommend In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction by Dr. Gabor Maté, it is more on people who are addicted and the science of their brains compare to normal people and a look into their childhood.
I read and listen to these things and many other books, audio on the best method for rising child because I want the best for them and if that makes r I don’t care. I hope this helps
I should be clear, I do not think there are hard and fast rules, or absolutes. Nor do I think spanking is all good and more is better. But I do believe in some instances with some kids it is an absolute necessity, and I believe it is linked to resource availability, amygdala activation, and that it can mold behavior to respect authority and consider consequences at an early age. That said, it should be painful to do for any parent.
But I hadn’t seen Molyneux’s work on it, so I’ll have to check it out.
In 2011, the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners issued a statement that said: ‘Corporal punishment (CP) is an important risk factor for children developing a pattern of impulsive and antisocial behavior…[and] children who experience frequent CP… are more likely to engage in violent behaviors in adulthood.’
Let’s ignore the minority elephant in the room. If we pretend race doesn’t exist, then it won’t.
