I often feel like some 1950’s academic, looking down from episodes of “The Honeymooners” to read accounts of the debauchery of the late Roman Empire, and wondering if it was really true, or if somebody was making it up just to fool me. Seeing it firsthand, I still can’t quell that “Real or Memorex?” quality.
Just now I was on the Daily Mail website, and under “Most Watched News Videos” was a link to a video titled, “Lesbians surprised when they touch a penis for first time.” There was the screenshot of the lesbian grabbing a smiling man’s shlong, and yep, she looked surprised. There it was – the r-selected degradation of sexual constraints, just like rabbits in a cage.
This was listed as a news video. At least in Idiocracy the video of the intermittently farting ass was a movie, and not a news story. Even there, the “Most Watched News Story” was the details about the dying crops. Short of this link getting a Pulitzer for best investigative journalism, I fail to see how reality could surpass itself now that it has surpassed Idiocracy. And yet I know it could, if the Apocalypse were to be held at bay for much longer.
I know what r/K Theory says. I understand the mechanism. I know why this happens, down to the structure of the molecules being attached and detached from the DNA as it is transcribed at varying rates deep within the nucleus. Yet so ingrained is my nature that I still can’t believe it, even as I look at it with my own eyes.
What I really wonder is if rabbits are the same way in reverse. Do they hear stories of K, and think blood could never run that deep in the streets? Or are they just oblivious? Even more amusing, how will they feel when K is upon them, and there is no escape? At least I am not terrified by the lesbian penii gropers. I could only imagine how I would feel if my degree of puzzlement were replaced with a similar degree of terror.

I was actually thinking about that the other day — I can’t properly empathize with rabbits. I’ve developed empathy (as opposed to sympathy) as a skill, to get into other people’s heads and see things the way they do. (Again, that’s not sympathy — that I know why you do something doesn’t mean I agree with your dumb ass reasoning. It just means I know WHY you are wrong.) I can’t do it with rabbits.
My for instance was, “well, if I was a rabbit and I heard about r/K, I would want to learn more about it, because it would tell me how to avoid the big scary wolves when I could and manipulate them when I couldn’t.” And then I had to stop myself, because that is me imposing wolf-logic on the rabbit. That was the LOGICAL answer, and logic isn’t part of the equation for rabbits. The reality is that learning it would endanger me being KNOWN for learning it, which would make me a target AND insinuate that I was more powerful, two things that rabbits avoid at all cost.
It’s damned hard to stop thinking like a wolf — and I have to assume that it is just as hard to stop thinking like a rabbit.
For an interesting contrast, go find videos of liberals shooting a gun for the first time.
I’m with you AC. The more I look the more I think this can’t be real. People can’t be like this.
