r-strategists Fear A Meat Shortage

More or less predictable:

Meat consumption in the United States — and across much of the Western world — has reached a level that is unsustainable, both for our planet and for our health. We owe it to ourselves to make a change. Our politicians owe it to us to enable that change.

The average American eats three times as much meat as experts deem healthy, the average European around twice as much. And the emerging economies are quickly catching up: by 2050, global consumption is expected to rise a further 76 percent…

Foods that are good for our health and the climate — vegetables, fruits, pulses, nuts, legumes — should be more freely available, more appealing, more visible and, ultimately, cheaper. A broad package of policies will be needed to arrive at this goal — industry innovation, awareness-raising campaigns, nutrition education, cooking skills and, however contentious, a tax on the most environmentally damaging products.

We consumers can make a huge difference on the future of the planet, and to our own well-beings, through simple changes to our eating habits. But, truth be told, we will need more than a little nudge from our governments to do so.

r-strategists hate seeing success and happiness. My assumption is that this is instinctual. Their programming is designed to quietly watch everyone around them in r-selection, and then try to covertly, without being caught, sabotage the success of any rabbit who is having too much success.

Since they cannot experience happiness themselves due to the neurosis of amygdala atrophy, they relentlessly seek to stop others from experiencing it. You see it in narcissists and you see it in liberals. Nothing will bring in the nanny police state like one person enjoying unimaginable success.

Even Ayn Rand spoke of it when she said in America, a person saw a neighbor with a nice car, and tried to figure out how to get such a car themselves, while in the Soviet Union, a person would report the neighbor to the local government, so his car would be taken away. It is a clear dichotomy of psychologies.

From a practical standpoint, eating meat will not affect the environment. The entire argument is fantasy. But it provides a critical function in the liberal brain – it justifies taking happy successful people and reducing their happiness, so everyone is more or less equally miserable.

Notice how even liberals cannot openly attack your happiness. They need to find an excuse, however silly, be it global warming, meat shortage, or just unfairness, to justify having the government seize the happiness of others. This is because liberals need to avoid conflict.

The main lever for manipulating the left is conflict avoidance. If you can make an action seem too conflict prone, they will immediately capitulate. The key lies in motivating enough people to threaten with conflict.

It is one of the reasons I expect Trump, himself a walking tornado of conflict stimuli, to win in a landslide.

I can think of another reason leftists don’t want people eating meat: because these soft, flabby weaklings know where they’ll be in the food chain when the EBT cards stop working. I’m sure my New Zealand Whites would agree with them.

40 tons of unwanted pit bull carcasses are discarded in landfills every year and they’re talking about a meat shortage?

> r-strategists hate seeing success and happiness.
Thats what I understood as the central attitude towards life in so-called ‘psychopaths’. Apparently amygdala atrophy is much more central to negative mental attitudes than previously thought.

On another note, IIRC you’ve noted that r-selecteds tend to huddle together in groupthink, have average IQ slightly below the population and lack originality in thought. My question: could their huddling together be a compensation mechanism for their slightly lower intellectual capacity, in a way creating a “super mind” to win against Ks?

Thanks.

I just saw video of Hillary violently convulsing as reporters ask her questions. She then made a nonsensical comment about her drink. Some think it was a short seizure, but I don’t know if she’d be able to continue holding the cup if it was. What is the relevance of amygdala to this bizarre episode?

Veganism really is the perfect storm of r strategy.

The start of it all, is the excess of sympathy in the absence of real empathy (ALL conscious, emotional brains deserve equal sympathy).

There is permission to support the underdog, and handicap the champion (Causing pain to emotional brains is always bad, but humans know what they are doing, and do it anyways. That makes them extra guilty. With great power comes great responsibility).

There is support for the narcissist illusion. (Slap the disgust for animal products onto any person, place, or event that you don’t like, if you need to “sour grapes” that particular thing)

I distinctly remember as a child, how my vegetarianism prevented me from enjoying McDonalds, forcing me to practice sour grapes. Feelings of joy from imagining tiny meteors destroying every McDonalds on earth. Doublethinking my own sour grapes by framing it as an attack against obesity, and business corruption.
