Trump's Tingling Legs

17. i like the sex on the wrong brain theory (sowb) - it's not human nature and it's

relatively easy to fix.

It’s not lizard brains or human nature causing these cycles of self destruction. For hundreds of thousands of years humans reproduced as soon as they could. Very recently on the human evolutionary scale it became necessary to delay the age of reproduction and our brains weren’t wired for it. That delay creates neural associations that divert impatient satisfaction-demanding reproductive energy from emotion, creativity, and pleasure to brain functions that are supposed to be patient and objective, like mathematics and logic.

The wide range of symptoms includes greed, fear, extremism, racism, misogyny, and even sexual dysfunction.

The book suggests that the authoritarianism and unregulated capitalism threatening the planet are efforts to satisfy sex on the wrong brain.

Greed and the irrational need for certainty are major symptoms.

Greed is what happens when parts of the brain that quantify and calculate are fueled with sexual urges for more, bigger, faster.

And when sex fuels logic it wants the conclusion and certainty of quick easy answers. Yes and no, black and white, good and evil. That irrational need for simplicity and certainty can turn harmless uncertainties into stress and fear.

Authoritarian ideologies and leaders stimulate fear with certainty deficit disorder or CDD and exploit it by being very certain, always right and never wrong, and promising to bring order to disorder. They describe the world in binary black and white, good and evil, to help their followers judge with certainty. The Trump wall is a perfect example. You’re either on one side or you’re on the other.

The book "Sex On The Wrong Brain", explains that humans have to deny reality to rationalize the binary value structures used to create certainty, and describes how authoritarian value structures wire the brain so the denial needed to rationalize irrational certainty can actually produce pleasure.

The book suggests that civilizations began to favor sowb symptoms when competing for scarce resources, elevating competition and suspicion over cooperation and curiosity. Without democratic forms of governing to regulate and moderate sowb symptoms authoritarianism usually won.

Some European societies hit the sowb problem earlier than the American and African populations and began selecting for particular sowb symptoms considered advantageous. Columbus brought ‘New World’ sowb to ’Old World’ pre-sowb native populations, just like other European colonizers brought it to Africa. In that way, caucasian gene pools may be more susceptible to sowb.

Falten claims some modern religions and social value structures have developed symbiotically with sowb to exploit the increased need for certainty and promote its growth through sexual repression.

the solution is sex education.

humans need to stop learning sex with the wrong hand.....
