This is how you imbue a K-psychology:
A disturbing video of a crowd physically beating each other to get at a select few bags of onions outside a supermarket in Venezuela highlights the struggle the average Venezuelan must endure to keep his or her family fed in the increasingly impoverished socialist nation… “Us Venezuelans are killing each other over a piece of food.”
The video is similar to other footage coming out of the nation’s supermarkets over the past two years. Under Maduro’s rationing system, Venezuelans must now endure five- to eight-hour lines at supermarkets to buy food. Many necessary goods like flour, vegetable oil, and milk are nearly impossible to acquire, causing fights on lines where one customer is seen holding such an item. In such a fight last year, a mob attacked a supermarket warehouse, raiding its contents and killing a 21-year-old man.
The rabbits who fight for their food are being slowly reprogramed. What they are being taught is that resources are limited, people must fight for them, and if they win them, they should be allowed to keep them. It will change the rabbit’s perspective subconsciously, from the loser who wants resources given to him without fighting, to the winner who feels it would be unfair if after fighting for his onions, they were taken and given to a loser who didn’t earn them.
Fighting is an intense neurological stimulus. Little will turn on an amygdala, or train an amygdala to turn on, like the mix of anger, fear, focus, determination, drive, and disorder which occurs when that first “unfair” person tries to take your food, just because they can.
After the fight, for days, your amygdala will replay the events, firing itself up all over again. The thought of loss in future encounters will drive you to seek a solution and prepare for the next encounter compulsively.
Add in the hunger and the discomfort reducing the amygdala-dulling dopamine in the brain, and you have a simple change in circumstance that will grossly remodel everyone’s brains to think in a more K-selected fashion. Since the amygdala will also govern sexual and rearing issues, developing it one way will alter its function in others, producing a whole scale shift toward K-selected psychologies over the entire suite of reproductive attitudes and behaviors.
The real change appears to be the epigenetic changes that arise from this, but in the short term, Venezuelans will still look like a different species after ten years of this.
