I disagree. Rabbits are more likely to try and get wolves to genocide others by fomenting conflicts. Clinton, Weiner, Obama, aren’t going to wade into a battlefield when everyone is going at it. But they will send armed feds to do it for them if they can.
They will try to get others to kill for them, also. Look at democratic politics and you see this strategy - class warfare, race warfare, sex-identity warfare, political ideologue warfare, “workers” vs capitalist warfare, even immigrant vs citizen warfare. If they lived in our nation, they’d get Chinese nationalist PRC people fighting with the tea party. Even the Nazis were just a helpless socialist worker’s party until they happened upon nationalists vs jews/blacks/disabled/non-Aryans.
r and K are the game. That said, it can also be viewed as adaptation to the need to fight, vs adaptation to avoiding the fight. In that case it is amygdala development vs amygdala atrophy, and because we evolved to house rearing/sex/loyalty in the amygdala, development or atrophy of the amygdala ends up dragging in the full suite of r and K by changing all of that too.
To answer your question - What happens when the rabbits have guns? It depends, does everyone else have guns, or have wolves disarmed the populace for them? In that latter case, a rabbit would kill, but they would much rather give the order to whoever is willing to kill for them.
But if everyone is armed, the rabbits won’t do shit. They’ll try to get two groups of wolves shooting at each other and then hide, but if that didn’t work, they will just plain hide.
r/K will be validated when the economy collapses and marriage and family return afterward along with a vigorous tendency to form a group identity and be loyal to the group.
The book on it should be free Monday and Tuesday in ebook form at Castaliahouse.com , if you want to see the sum of the research behind it.
Much of my experience with amygdala response has been with aberrant individuals, and parallel your anecdotes to some degree. I am of the opinion that the amygdala regulates neural response similarly to the way the hypothalamus regulates hormonal response. I would also categorize narcissists (and perhaps liberals) as having a hyper or overactive amygdala. Psychopaths on the other hand, appear to have a hypo or malformed amygdala .
While your technique may show promise on the hyper amygdala, I wonder about the response of the hypo. I believe many in powerful positions tend toward this side of the spectrum. Do you address this in any of your articles?
I plan on downloading your books, so I’ll hold the rest of my inquiries. Thank you for at least raising the questions. Conservatives tend to believe everyone is driven by logic, and this may be a way to bridge the message gap. I pray it doesn’t take another world war to bring us back to our senses, but as an historian, I fear it may be too late to avert.
