r-selection, Liberalism, Birth Control, and Pregnancy Ambivalence

In the book it was predicted that birth control would cull the pool of r-strategists, since a low-parental-investment drive, combined with a technology which facilitated avoiding parental duties altogether through a sort of purposeful self-sterilization, would lead to any responsible r-strategist culling their phenotype, through the use of birth control to eliminate all parental investment.

We predicted that this selective pressure would select among all r-strategists for those who were less rigorous in adhering to their birth control regimens. This would produce a population of r-strategists with a less responsible, less outcome-oriented psychology. This less responsible model would then eventually become the de facto form of r-strategist in our populations. Eventually today’s Liberal would appear a paragon of virtue, foresight, and responsibility, compared to the directionless imbeciles who will populate the new Liberalism 2.0.

Although the book didn’t predict its emergence this soon, psychologists have begun to study a new phenomenon which they have termed, “Pregnancy Ambivalence.” Basically, it has been noted that there is now a large subset of people who are ambivalent about whether or not to have children in their temporary sexual relationships, and thus they are adhering to birth control less rigorously, or using less reliable methods to avoid pregnancy. Although it hasn’t been found to be more common in Leftists yet, given their diminished conscientiousness, shorter relationship durations, and greater numbers of partners, it will not be surprising when it is.

If you understand how Darwin works, and acknowledge that he operates on humans just as he operates on other species, these things become clearly evident. Whether it is birth control selecting among r-strategists for those who lack responsibility and outcome-focus, or whether it is the fact that Liberalism, blindly followed, would produce the exact society and culture seen in the movie Idiocracy, these rules are very simple, and their effects unavoidable.

It always makes me laugh when Liberals assert that as our species matures, and we approach the ultimate in technological advancement, our future society will be unabashedly Liberal – as if Liberalism is an inevitable epitome of societal advancement. The truth is that Liberalism devolves everything it touches, from society, to culture, to the very ideologues who make up Liberalism itself. You cannot actively reject any scheme, anywhere, which rewards quality, in a world which will spontaneoulsy devolve anything genetic which is not actively maintained by a postiive selective pressure. r will always be about quantity over quality, and thus it will always produce the shoddiest product possible – and make it even more shoddy over time.

If ever an alien race from another solar system were to reach Earth, they will not have spent the last ten million years of their technological advancement facilitating the reproduction of imbeciles, hedonists, and cowards, and trying to strike down those iconoclasts with ability, drive, selfless motivations to see their groups succeed, and who care about how children are raised. If those aliens arrive, they will be the most K-strategist of K-strategists, and if we were to exhibit rabbit-like qualities, they would most certainly be happy to treat us as such.

To the r-strategy rabbit, we K-strategy wolves/sheepdogs are a scary alien species.

Speaking of which: I’d love to hear your take on Dave Grossman’s book On Killing.

Hey AC,

Really enjoyed the book. But I read it months ago and I can’t remember if you mentioned this in it.

Did you discover the similarities between r select species and liberals in a sudden Eureka moment? Did it just hit you like the Flux Capacitor? Or was it an idea that slowly built itself up in your mind over a period of time because of your work in the sciences?

Also, do you think you’ll be writing a squeal anytime in the foreseeable future? How is it selling?

You’ve mentioned that if conservationism is going to take hold again, there may have to be some sort of collapse first. This makes sense to me since:

1) A large portion of the population will probably never accept the r/K political theory (let alone allow it to guide their political decisions) regardless of how efficiently the message is spread or how clearly and articulately it is expressed because, well, they’re r select. Ha. It’s not like liberals are going to see this site and say, “Oh my goodness. He’s right. I’m a lazy, sex-crazed bum who parasites off of the more productive members of my species. I’m going to alter my behavior immediatly. Thank you AC! Thank you!”

2)Even if every conservative in the Western world excepts the idea how are they going to implement change when so many rabbits have there paws on the steering wheel?

Oh well. American society ain’t what it use to be, but sometimes you gotta lean back, sip a beer and enjoy the view while you watch the whole thing crumble.

Haha.

Thanks for the reply.

great point. ANGER is what the r/losers are always whining about.. well conservative anger, which is actually rarely seen. liberal anger is never confronted.

When the shortages begin, get ready for lots of anger, and lots of hiding Liberals.

I’ve long assumed that when society goes belly up, the urban cores will slide into a situation resembling a Mad Max movie. It always seemed likely to me that the vast majority of young black and hispanic men there would morph like grasshoppers becoming locusts, and eventually head for the suburbs to steal, rape, and kill.

The r/K paradigm has me re-evaluating things. Have the r-selected youngsters in the ‘hood gotten so rabbitlike that they’ll curl up and die during a prolonged shortage of gubmint goodies? I’m torn.

One thing’s for certain: any rampaging mobs headed for my exurban neighborhood will be vigorously discouraged with rifle fire from long range.

A quick question for you AC, if I may?

I’m not very deep into the stuff you present on the amygdala hijack so my understanding is lacking but is it possible to be a right winger with a damaged amygdala? I’m talking about myself here; I’ve held a strongly right wing view of the world since I was very young, and for much of my teens and twenties when confronted with leftism in any stripe I had such a violent mental and visceral reaction that I wanted to destroy the purveyors of this thinking. It’s only in recent years that I’ve trained myself to tone down my reactions, but the strong feelings of disgust, threat, and repulsion I feel when leftism is present are still with me. Needless to say, I find our present society mentally taxing for this very reason.

It all started under the Reagan Administration with the dirogulateen. (I was/am a Reagan fan, but the fact is that this was a misread, a blunder by his team) Bush Senior pressed on with the same policy. The Clinton Administration did nothing about it even when there were hints of an over-inflated market. Everyone in the country was dumb and happy and more concerned with who he was flirting with. Then the Bush administration continued with it even when the signs were right in their face. I guess that is what makes me blame Bush more than anyone with Clinton as a close second. We should be able to expect our elected officials to make the tough calls and take action to prevent disasters. Even disasters of a previous administrations making .isn’t that why we change them out from time to time? why we elect them? Clinton and Bush both failed the country on this issue.
