Rabbits, Acclimatization to Free Resources, and the Drive to Foment Unrest

As we approach the apex of r, there will be turmoil, and most of it will be fomented by the rabbits. As you view these events, view them in the context of an easily triggerable amygdala, accustomed to free resources and prone to enter a profoundly irritable state in the absence of free resources. In that irritable state, such an amygdala will be highly irritated by the happiness and success of others, and as a result will drive behaviors to diminish its own irritation, by diminishing the success and happiness of others.

So as conditions deteriorate for everyone, themselves included, the rabbit’s gaze will naturally fall upon the happy, and combined with their own adversity, their resentment will grow. As it does, they will want to act out.

Normal people will tend to focus on bettering their own lives, but a rabbit, focused on and irritated by the happiness of others, will need to try and destroy that happiness. If the happiness that their gaze falls upon is people happily buying Apple products, and Apple succeeding merrily, they will try to disrupt that happiness, and if possible, turn the populace upon the happy people. Doing that is all that can alleviate their angst.

If the happiness they see is a military man, being cheered by a crowd, they will try to turn that crowd against the military man.

If the happiness is merely relief, in the form of a Police Officer who negotiated a violent encounter successfully and survived, even the more educated rabbits will try to turn the violent in our ranks on the Police Officer.

As things get worse, the stimulus required to irritate them to action will grow ever less. Since the rabbit is too cowardly to attack their enemy themselves, their go-to strategy will be to try and make everyone they see unhappy, and turn any threat they can find in our populace upon the successful. At its climax, even those barely able to survive will precipitate such rage that the rabbit will try to get anyone they can to kill them.

This strategy is an outgrowth of something innate to the undeveloped amygdalae – a fundamental, penetrating sense of helplessness. If your amygdala is developed, it has been developed through experience. When it encounters adversity, it scans your brain for a solution, finds it stored in memories of prior experiences, and it will then drive behaviors to address your adversity. As a self-sufficient non-rabbit, your amygdala will drive you to fix your own problems.

If, however your amygdala is not acclimated to adversity, then you will not be able to find a solution stored in your amygdala, and you will feel helpless. Once you are helpless, and your amygdala is applying aversive stimulus to drive you to take action, your focus will direct itself to making others solve your problems for you. Then, rather than fixing your problems yourself, you will focus on making everyone else miserable, in the hopes that to alleviate their misery they will solve your problem for you. Suddenly you are laying down in the middle of a freeway, basically telling other people that unless they fight your enemies for you and fix your problems on your behalf, you will stop traffic, and prevent them from getting home.

Notice, developed amygdalae solve problems, undeveloped amygdala make more, for everyone, in the hopes that increased misery all around will benefit them at some point. One builds a successful society, one screws everything up as they try to make others as miserable as themselves.

These overly triggerable amygdalae will produce unrest and turmoil that will be unlike anything we have seen in our lives, if the current path is maintained. Make no mistake, we have gone to unimaginable lengths to feed unimaginable levels of free resources into our ecosystem, producing rabbits of unimaginable mental instability, with completely undeveloped amygdalae. I do not believe there has ever been a more Warrior-like population, infested with a more viscerally repugnant and mentally unstable, rabbit-like cohort, whose panic and intolerance for any sort of discomfort is so immense and unappeasable.

Historically, the end result of conditions like these has been a societal turmoil of unimaginable proportions. These are the materials historic events are made of. If you have ever read an historical account, wide eyed and amazed at what someone in the past endured, understand those same types of events may someday present themselves to us. Be prepared.

Before finding your website and reading about r/K theory, I wrote:
——-
World opinion, which is to say Progressive opinion, remains firmly on the side of the poor oppressed Ukrainians (and Gazans), but as always, men with guns have the final say. They are not Progressives, and the more Progressives nag them, the less they care what Progressives think.

Why don’t Progressives take up arms themselves and set the world straight? Because they’re still humming that idiotic Lennon song “Imagine”, where there’s “nothing to kill or die for”.
——–
I was only guessing an answer to my question, and I still don’t fully understand, but your theories offer some illumination.

Sen. Feinstein releasing the CIA “torture” evidence. The last chance to screw things up before the change in Congress? Explain Boehner. Does his corruption override his narcissism? What drives traitors?

“Our” intelligence agencies are the ones with access to all of the data. They may not necessarily be rich, they could just be at the right place at the right time. Rich persons could potentially pay agents for information. You would have to be pretty naive to believe that those with access to the info won’t use it for their own purposes. Like Angleton said, a mansion has many rooms. Certainly there are elements within “the company” that are using their surveillance data to exert control over politicians, guide events. There are likely many factions doing it that aren’t even aware of each other and whose goals may be at odds.

Funny you should say that.

I was (I am a European) in Romania for holidays recently. People I talked to told me the Securitate network of old still exists. They gather potentially incriminating evidence about all political contenders. But only release it when it suits…them, and their overlords, who happen to be the old communist élite that now has morphed into the new capitalist élite.

Indeed similar networks may exist within / connected to the CIA.

Re Boehner, remember he cried when he became speaker. That’s bad news and in my view very r. Cry about your deceased father, your dear mother or Sweet Jesus – that can be K. Not about yourself.

Anyone in “public service” above the level of dog catcher surely has one or a number of regrets he or she would not have published on a billboard.

To reach the level of a national politician, a federal judge or any of the upper levels of the Permanent Bureaucracy there is no doubt that reprehensible behavior was required. Blackmail bait, indeed, without needing an overt Skull and Bones induction.

In this time of the NSA Panopticon, can we believe for one moment that every Supreme Court Jurist, every congressman and each of his aides, etc., is not subject to minute control?

Roberts’ torture of English to defend the ACA is the Poster Child. While ideology drives Newspeak, in this case Occam’s Razor strongly suggests the Chief Justice has a known proclivity for something bad, like 10 year old boys’ bottoms.

What could you possibly blackmail a leftist with? Congressman Bob Menendez got caught with 14yo hookers in the Dominican Republic and got away with saying it was legal there? Marian Barry kept slapping around tranny crack hoes and getting reelected. While a republican aide from flyover country gets lambasted for commenting on O-Holes girls behavior, a leftist politician would have no mainstream media coverage of a video showing him snorting cocaine off a 14yo boys penis.

I found this cross posted at two different sites this morning and agree wholeheartedly.

As I was thinking on this (while feeding the cattle) this morning another thought crossed my mind. In much the same way that cancer subverts what is otherwise a normal function of cells is it not possible that the exact same thing is happening to behavior via brain function? The cancerous cells attack the healthy ones and likewise those who are observably the least healthy among the population go about attacking those that are the most stable and productive. I doubt that there is much cognitive function taking place surrounding these activities, they are more than likely the natural response of a sickened organism turning on itself. The end result in both the micro- human cancer- and the macro-progressivism* is the death of the super organism whether that is the individual or the society.

*for lack of a better term for this disorder

r is motivated by envy and the desire to bring others down. Think of Cain and Abel. They want attention, respect and power without working for it, and if they don’t get it…envy and revenge.

Hi Anonymous,

How would you classify Ted Kennedy? Teddy swam, while Mary Kopechne died, which makes him a swine. And a coward. Still he seems to have been a virile and strong man at the same time. K or r?

Or, for that matter, the mafia. K or r?

Thanks. agree about Teddy, but too bad we can’t label the mafia easily, as we apparently can other groups.

I’m confused.

Do you still define a man as an “r” if he sees the political movement toward war as collectivist BS (war profiteering, or wag-the-dog, or whatever other sorry excuse for warmongering extant) and seeks to duck the folly?

In the Modern Era, nation-state warfare has nothing to do with repelling aggressors (and thus survival.) It demonstrates all the signs and symptoms of a grand con game played on the fools who participate (while the old men who instigated it are home “comforting” every young lady who will consent; didn’t that toad Kissinger claim that power is the ultimate aphrodisiac?)

If K’s are to be feted but the arbitrariness of the modern battlefield is the contest, all that suggests to me is that mindless, don’t-care-if-I-live-or-die aggressiveness is what is being selected.

Sorry, I just don’t see it, or I miss the point.
