A leftist gives her take on reality:
The courts could legally “install” Hillary Clinton as president instead of Donald Trump, because of Russia’s alleged interference in the election, The Huffington Post asserted in a story Friday.
Seizing on a breaking report that the CIA has concluded Russia worked covertly to help Trump win the election, Alex Mojaher writes in HuffPo the findings could be enough for a federal court to “invalidate” Trump’s win. “Russian Interference Could Give Courts Legal Authority To Install Clinton,” the headline reads.
This is not really logical. The idea that the courts now would just hand Hillary the Presidency is about the most ridiculous idea you could possibly postulate. And yet, to the leftist, the idea has the same feeling associated with it that we use to determine right and wrong.
Does leftist activist and filmmaker Michael Moore know something the rest of us don’t?
Moore predicted President-elect Donald Trump may not become America’s next president, saying anything can happen between now and Jan. 20, 2017.
“Nothing anyone has predicted has happened,” Moore said of the 2016 election when he was a guest Wednesday evening on the “Late Night with Seth Meyers.” “The opposite has happened.”
Moore continued with what he called his “prediction”: “[Trump] is not president of the United States yet. He’s not president, right? He’s not president ’til noon on Jan. 20 of 2017. That is – what are we, Wednesday the 9th? – so that’s more than six weeks away. … So is it possible, that within the next six weeks, something else might happen? Something crazy. Something that we’re not expecting.”
Moore did not elaborate on what that “something crazy” might be.
This is why I would believe that Hillary may be thinking of running again in 2020. I could see that idea “feeling” good to her.
In us, the amygdala is a logic engine, using good and bad feelings, attached to ideas, to guide us to see reality clearly and act in such a way as to guide our behavior to mold reality. To us, false ideas feel bad because we can see how they will cost us later on, by failing to help us mold our reality.
In leftists, the amygdala is designed to guide them to simply see maximal positivity all the time, so they will try to enact it. If they fail, their amygdala is designed to then panic and flee. They are then designed to repeat that process, until they land somewhere where they can enact maximal positivity, and enjoy true r-selection.
One psychology is designed for an environment where you only survive by accurately seeing reality and adapting to it, and if you fail you die. The other is designed for a world where you never really can fail or die, and you are best served blindly plunging forward again and again, and seeking to find the specific corner of it where you can miximize your environment’s positivity.
Obviously when persuading others using rhetoric, this would also imply that not all people will respond the same to the same methods of attaching emotions to ideas. Liberals will seek to adopt an idea that makes them feel better, while conservatives will seek an idea that helps them better understand reality.
r/K Selection Theory is important to spread, because liberals are not going to just kill themselves
