Ninety minutes on r/K selection

Snowden
I found this place from CAAMIBS blog post about 'co-alpha' society being genetically destroyed.  I'm already familiar with this argument only I know it as K selection being destroyed and replaced with r selection.

I highly recommend this video to gain a better understanding of how our society is moving (or already has moved) from K to r.  Perhaps we can create a small enclave where K can flourish but I have no doubt that the r will try to destroy any such society.

Biblically I would call r Satan and K following the path of God.

I would love to hear anyone's opinions on this video.

I watched some of the video.  I don't think the r/K concept is exactly right.  After all, rabbits are cute, not evil.  What is truly evil is Fisherian runaway selection.  In an r-group, there is basically no selection criteria for mating.  But in modern human societies, there is a clear selection by women in favor of evil and stupid men as a result of Fisherian runaway selection.  You can read my full explanation here:

Also from what little I know about Stefan Molyneux, he completely fails to understand the importance of religion and its impact on human evolution.

I see no reason to believe that modern society would try to destroy a small K society.  After all, Hasidic Jews and the Amish are left alone.  What I do believe is that K-type people in modern society are dysfunctional for reasons I don't understand and that they would rather spend their time looking for excuses to justify their failure than looking for solutions that would result in success.
