Question with regard to one of your listed links.
Big Hollywood?
Clicking on it brings us to a map and something called Spout Out.

Posted on incredible, that was a very good read. In colisuncon, someone who actually thinks and understands what they are blogging about. Quite difficult to find of late, especially on the web . I bookmarked your web blog and will make sure to keep coming back here if this is how you always write. thank you, keep it up! .

Hmmmm….r/K selection theory applied to political behavior. What a great idea.

Fantastic book, thanks.
Wondering: how and when opposing ‘r’ and ‘K’ genes get developed.

I haven’t read your book, but i saw some parts of your website, and i am really interested in some of the topics that you wrote.
And i almost agree with having a K type psychology though i don’t agree with some of those points.
1.- Is war really necessary as an evolutionary process?
2.- Is the K type society tend to be more cooperative or more selfish (i kinda missed the point on that one)?
3.- What is your point of view about foreigners helping a country?
4.- And about the liberal fractured amygdala, can they use that in they favor or do they have another skill that would help society?

That’s all for know, and i might consider buying your book since i like most of the points that you make (and how the US and some other countries adapt a more r type society).

Please provide evidence that allowing gays to adopt is worse than letting kids be brought up in foster homes. Or that gay couples are more likely to have or adopt children than gay couples who live together without marrying.

Also provide evidence that allowing gays to serve openly hurts military cohesion. Please do not cite a few rednecks from Alabama serving in the army who you heard whining about the “fags”, although I imagine that’s all the evidence you can provide.

Hi. Very fascinating. I haven’t read the book yet, but I do have one question. I just read the part about the counter culture and the various populations that came along. First r’s starting in 62, peaking in 67, then the K’s come back and the counter culture dies. My question is, aren’t these k and r personalities and resulting ideologies fairly well fixed by our brain chemistry (the amygdala for one), and thus not amenable to fluctuation.
The reason i ask, and I’m sure this is a familiar question because it is so common. The old story about if you’re not a liberal at 20, you haven’t got a heart, if you’re still a liberal at 30 you haven’t got a head. And it’s my story too. 1 to 16 conservative like my parents, 17 to say 40 staunch liberal, way out there liberal. Now, returned to sanity conservative for the last decade. If R and K are biological in nature and heritable, which I would agree, they probably are, then why my fluctuation and millions of others from cons to lib back to cons. What are your thoughts on this.
Thanks

I read your book. Fascinating stuff – it finally solved the riddle why all those seemingly unrelated political positions cluster together so frequently.

I’ve been wondering though how the various streams of libertarianism fit into your theory:

1) Socially liberal, fiscally conservative, pro-war. (Ayn Rand objectivists)

2) Socially liberal, fiscally conservative, anti-war. (some Ron Paul supporters)

And what about the Old Right (socially and fiscally conservative, yet anti-war)?

A mix of r/K traits maybe?

Just posting to add another voice to the ‘when you have the time, please make it available in e-book format’ (Kindle, specifically) request.

This information is utterly fascinating.

Thank you!
