I was re-listening to the genewars videos and I was wondering if someone can be a r and turn into a K later on in life if the environment forced that person to change. The reason this question is so interesting to me right now is because of the west waking up to the Islamic threat. More and more we see people that were completely in denial of this threat actually waking up and realising that we are in big trouble.
The interesting thing is, while I was watching the video, I realised that when I was younger I was a r organism. I was a guitarist in a rock band, didn't worry too much about my future, I was a fucking lefty and I fucked every girl under the sun.
Oddly enough, now I am a complete K. I focus on my future, plan ahead, I differ gratification, I not interested in adventures so much anymore, I look for commitment and I mostly look for a woman based on her personality as a mother. I'm a conservative libertarian. I believe in small government and the free market.
Maybe during puberty, the sexual hormones that go through the roof might have an influence on the r/K behaviour. When you grow older, you become more rational because your testosterone dropped to a reasonable level.
An other fun fact that I've noticed as a conservative is that everyone, and I do mean everybody I know, is a fucking socialist leftist. Pretty much everyone I have know in my province is a socialist leftist. This is why Canada is so fucked.
When I met members of the conservative party in Canada, I thought that they were pretty dull, not to creative, clean cut, hard working responsible people. Basically what you would expect from K organisms. But, the fact that I found these people dull and non creative, doesn't that make me a r????
