It's true, women do tend to have smaller amygdalae. My sister will eventually find out the hard way just how silly most liberal ideas tend to be when applied to real life- she's already finding out, in fact.

You're right about millennials wondering what life would be like after the collapse. I'm thinking the same thing. Which reminds me- I need to get a move on and apply for my gun license…

The trick is not to seek elimination, but account for the Rs. (much like rats or any other pestilence). The differences between you and your sister, despite similar upbringing, may very well be proven by sex differences – women have noticably smaller amygdalas on average than men do, and while single women tend to swing left, married, settled ones tend to swing right. Hence with today, we get a positive feedback loop of women swinging left which leads to more of the staying single, decreasing their chances of making the transition –

-Whether it's because staying single and avoiding responsibility better emulates an R-environment or some evo-psych explanation (I've heard a few), the fact does still stand that the means are separate: women are natural socialists.

On another note, as has been suggested, there are essentially two ways of breaking the cycle of civilisation:

1. Artificially impose a K-environment on the lowest classes, the "discomfiture at the bottom".
2. Discover a permanent K-environment that cannot be surmounted: I.E. space.

The former requires a reactionary society and rejection of Enlightenment ideals, the latter…well, I don't hold out much hope for it.

To be honest, a growing number of millenials are starting to dream of and desire collapse and a hard life. Maybe the zombie apocalypse won't be so bad after all.
