The mass formation we’re seeing with vaxxed people, may possibly be explained by r/K selection theory. It was originally proposed to explain differences in reproductive strategies, but it has ramifications beyond that. It falls under the category of evolutionary psychology. I realize this can be a touchy subject, so I will stress the caveats “may”, “might”, “possibly”. These are just traits and preponderances, not something innately locked-in. r/K selection theory describes a set of genetically predisposed differences between herd people (the ‘r’s) versus independent people (the ‘K’s).
It includes greater or lesser tendencies to competitiveness, mate monopolization, risk avoidance, promiscuity, low-investment single parenting vs. high-investment two-parent child rearing, and especially degree of loyalty to an in-group.
Although environment may also play a role, it provides more of a feedback mechanism in support of predispositions, so there’s probably not much that can be done to turn one kind of person into the other.
That’s the key… we keep on hoping that the vaxxed (the ‘r’s) will wake up from their cult-like behavior, if we (the ‘K’s) can only communicate real-world facts to them in an appealing way.
However, this theory predicts that such conversion is unlikely. Whatever the reason, I believe we should stop hoping to change them, accept the differences, and plan a parallel society to improve our own situation. Otherwise, if we keep depending on their tender mercies, we may end up getting badly hurt.
They ARE THE MOB. K's for the most part just want to be left alone to live their lives. r's need herd people and people in general to survive. They will follow the prevailing wind, hence they are the MOB.
I always go back to the Salem witch trials. If there ever was a clear example of r's doing their job it was then.
One might even equate this to the way nature has a way of using the same model in everything it does. Herds are prey animals and Ks are predators.
Realize that nature is efficient, it operates in a pattern, it may seem like chaos but it is not. While we are higher thinking animals, we are animals in the end. Nature has a plan and we are simply part of it. Understanding that we are a PART of nature and not ABOVE nature, would solve a lot of our problems.
I watched a documentary on how the genetics of a moth were found in our genome. The genes were dormant, or as the brilliant scientists who think they know better "junk DNA". There is no JUNK in nature. It is just a matter of what is turned on and what is not.
Trivia. Cotton Mather of Harvard helped spark the Salem hysteria.
Whats going on now is a starving of the predators?
DNA charts look a lot like computer code.
