The Spanking Gene

Or

The Autistic and the Blade Appendix C

It’s just some fellow who thinks you should do as he tells you.

Appendix C

Written on social media:

. . . a thought just crossed my mind as though it were new, that Allism is a development of alpha-ism, and Allists all behave as though they have the alpha mentality to a degree, they all understand alpha-ism, and maybe that suggests a genesis, where some bottleneck happened and only a single family (or relatively so) of alphas made it through?

.

I don’t mean the whole species bottlenecked at once, I’m pretty sure that didn’t happen at the end of the ice age, but (as I pondered in the book, free and downloadable on profile), some localized little bottleneck, some population that got stranded somewhere by global warming. Then, when the peaceful sorts were pared away, something changed and this group of all alphas began to conquer the world.

.

I’ve seen things about genetic differences being found with alpha chimps or something, I think – so maybe I just found the gene for Allism. That’s not the worst just so story I ever heard, I don’t think, and in hindsight, how did it take me this long to take that rather obvious little step?

.

I blame the delays on the world swallowing obfuscation of Allistic thought. And also, I got some seriously short spikes on my ball.

.

Seriously, does it ever explain this aspect of their natures, that they always think they can force one another into everything, as though they are all born bosses, but all their positive hopes always go to social breakdown and war because it is in none of their natures to be subjugated, they all expect the freedom of alphas, and the authority of alphas, but their target audience are alphas too.

.

There is still the epigenetic toggle switch, alpha-ism is at least partially transmitted by spanking. I could tell the serving, top alphas of the world, if you want a docile population, abuse is not how you get that. You have to leave the herd alone. You abuse an alpha, you get a fight.

.

I don’t like where this is going either, kids, eish, but you have to be able to think about these sorts of things.

.

Yeah, I must have thought this before and dismissed it as too easy, I suppose it was before the rest of the scenario fell into place for me, but this alpha thing fits too well, my problem solving daemon can’t ignore it anymore.

.

So the majority has some alpha versions of genes, and perhaps everyone isn’t full on, but without the old majority of passive sorts around there aren’t the other versions of those genes also propagating, so with every generation of drift, mostly only the alpha versions grow and spread. Maybe everyone isn’t full on alpha but full on everything else is disappearing. Not all by accident, the alphas find the betas etc., to be a liability in their wars and having peaceful people around is less of an option to an aggressive alpha sort than living in constant war. Apparently.

.

As always, my point is constant war is NOT an option, we are too good at it, the planet is dying collaterally.

.

But the majority carries the genes and the tendencies – and then they are spanked, they are raised in an atmosphere of threat and violence. Spanking is one, abusive, with the psychological effects, and two – literal fight training, beginning about the time they learn to walk.

.

You hit an alpha, they learn what their genes are made to learn, to hit.

.

I’m not over excited, I realize this is still only a just so story, that’s all we homespun sorts get to declare – but it’s a good one and dare I say, anything is better for my mind than the existing just so stories of the majority. It’s testable too, but they aren’t looking for the genes for themselves and if they find them by accident they’ll probably sterilize everyone without them.

.

The situation is hard to understand and problematic as Hell; it’s at once deliberate as can be and also utterly unconscious.

.

You realize this is the opposite of the (deleted derogatory adjective) self-domestication theory as well?- it just struck me that that idea, while reasonable and all that, is part of them saying we’re improving morally, like we’re “getting better,” because we’re ordering ourselves to.

.

Back to genes for a quick update, if the majority carries something like alpha genes, that would explain no-one identifying them, they would dismiss what everyone has, the alphas are assumed to be a minority. That’s still the geneticist’s main tool, right, finding what stands out against the background, find what is not common, they’re not mostly picking a common one and figuring out what it does to everyone, right?

.

Not sure about that, but I think it’s still impossible to do that? I’ve sent a question to Sapolsky’s podcast, asking him questions about alphas, like do they ever have it all their way, and everyone is a child of the alpha, and I wanted to wait for an answer to complete this chapter, but I don’t think there’s an answer coming, he hasn’t answered any of my questions yet, I mean, it makes sense, mine will almost by definition not be the popular questions.

Again, download the book before I pass and stop paying for the domain, or before your government censors it.
