Notice how the study just assumes it is true, as it looks for a reason why:

Brain chemistry could change under the stress of migration, increasing a newcomer’s risk of developing schizophrenia and other psychoses, according to a new medical study. The groundbreaking research, a joint effort by researchers at Toronto’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and King’s College in England, has identified a plausible biological mechanism that links the effects of migrant status to the risk of developing psychosis. “We knew schizophrenia patients and those at risk of schizophrenia release more dopamine in their brains when exposed to a social challenge,” said Dr. Romina Mizrahi, a study co-author and director of CAMH’s youth psychosis prevention clinic and research program. “Immigrants and their children have higher dopamine synthesis capacity versus non-immigrants. When they are under stress, they also release more dopamine. These brain changes might explain the higher risk to develop psychosis that has been observed in immigrants.”

What have we been saying here? Migrants have high carriage of the 7r long form of the DRD4 dopamine receptor gene. It predisposes to addiction by mimicking the dopamine deficiency of an addict who has desensitized themselves to dopamine. That means their dopamine receptors don’t work as well out of the box. That means their body needs more dopamine released to operate normally – almost as if they were designed to function normally in a resource glut. And apparently they can release it.

The researchers claim they are releasing dopamine in response to social stress, but I will bet the real dopamine surge that produces the psychosis is produced by free resource availability and ease. In the West, as all these Middle Eastern migrants come in, the sudden exposure to a sexualized culture as well as delicious food, astonishing entertainment, cell phones, and all our other comforts cannot help.

I only remember two things about Brittany Spears. First was a clip of an interview where she said she enjoyed taking a whole one pound bar of Hersey milk chocolate, putting it in the microwave for ten seconds, and then taking the melted bar out of the microwave and eating it with a spoon. It stuck with me because that did sound good. The second thing is she went crazy and had a meltdown.

There is a part of me that thinks very few could avoid that meltdown, exposed to her circumstances. She was born a very pretty girl, and from her teens was given celebrity (like a narcotic to teen girls), had millions of dollars, screaming fans, mega-mansions, silk sheets, fancy cars, no stress, no pain, and nothing adverse. Her normal food tasted like a whole pound of melted milk chocolate. Imagine the dopamine. Her baseline normal life was perfect, and her amygdala developed to see that as normal. Once that happens, and her amygdala expects that level of perfection, the slightest adversity, no matter how silly, will produce the same effect in her amygdala that a real stress would have in a normal person’s. Imagine her being hit with a normal stress that normal people expect to be normal.

I suspect that is the problem with migrants. Genetically, they are programmed as addicts though the long form dopamine receptor genes that drove them to migrate. Once they hit a sexualized, rich, threat-free European environment, they are destined to release enough dopamine at the front end to solidify their dopamine addiction, and from there, they are on the path of Brittany Spears, just heading for the crash and descent into psychosis.

And that is the rosy prediction, not considering what will happen when an economic Apocalypse hits and gives them real reasons to meltdown and go crazy.

Tell others about r/K Theory, because we need fewer psychos
