Cuckservatives are liberal infiltrators:

Charles Murray has a new book called — well, not a new book. It’s a book called Coming Apart, and it focuses on the cultural separation between the wealthiest and most educated white Americans and the poorest and least educated white Americans. It’s about the white majority but the divisions within the white majority based on economic lines, if you will. And Kristol was at the seminar where Charles Murray said, “Look, to be totally honest if things are so bad as you say with the white working class, don’t you want to get new Americans in?” Which, of course, is a provocative question. He says to Murray, “Well, look, if things are that bad with the white working class, if they’re that poor and if they are that, shall we say, estranged, wouldn’t you want to get some new Americans in?” And before delving into the theory about replacing the white working class, Kristol said that he hopes quote, “This thing isn’t being videotaped or ever shown anywhere or whatever tiny pathetic future I have is going to totally collapse.” He’s being funny, facetious there. He said, “You can make a case that America has been great because every — I think John Adams said this — basically if you are in free society, a capitalist society, after two or three generations of hard work everyone becomes kind of decadent, lazy, spoiled — whatever. Then, luckily, you have these waves of people coming in from Italy, Ireland, Russia, and now Mexico, who really want to work hard and really want to succeed and really want their kids to live better lives than them and aren’t sort of clipping coupons or hoping that they can hang on and meanwhile grew up as spoiled kids and so forth. In that respect, I don’t know how this moment is that different from the early 20th century.”

When I picture Bill Kristol I see somebody who has absolutely no threat, copious ease, and a resultant lack of amygdala development. As a result, his brain has adapted the r-strategist desire to fill America with exotic foreigners. He justifies the desire with pseudo-logic, but it is the instinct that drives the belief.

In a way, I think you could view this from the perspective of food. If you were starving, a plate of bacon would be unfathomably delicious. Your amygdala would focus on every nuance of the salty, savory goodness. The texture of the meat and fat, the little twang of flavor as it first touches your tongue – it all would grab your amygdala, and as a result you would feel alive. If you starved for another week, and then had fought your way to acquire some more, it would be just as delicious.

But if every day, day in and day out, you ate bacon until you were so full you could not swallow another bite, bacon would cease to be as delicious. Your amygdala would shut off, due to familiarity, when exposed to it. With time, you would actually want something different, in human terms, “for variety.” What would have happened, from a cognitive neuroscience perspective, is your amygdala would have begun to shut down when you ate bacon. It wouldn’t register all the flavor, it wouldn’t focus on the texture – it would just be dead. Suddenly, you would want some steak, or some BBQ chicken, or some lobster, or some double chocolate ice cream. Familiarity and predictability are just a little bit of death.

Amygdalae crave variety to keep them engaged and keep you feeling alive. If your amygdala shuts off, you might as well be dead.

When you are like Bill Kristol, and you get up each morning, and espouse the exact same things, for the millionth time, your amygdala can begin to shut off. Add in decades of ease and wealth as you do nothing more than pontificate each day, and your amygdala will shut off even more. Suddenly seeing variety is a stimulant that brings your senses back online, and you begin to feel positively toward the stimulant.

I am increasingly thinking that ease and comfort are actually a death of sorts, shutting off your amygdala and leaving you craving anything to turn the light of life back on. This world was made to be fought by the seat of your pants, on an ever-changing battlefield.

Spread r/K Theory, because there is no better way to change up the battlefield
