Leftists have smaller amygdalas, which is associated with decreased threat-detection abilities and increased anxiety.
"across the spectrum of anxiety disorders, as well as in other disorders that are often comorbid with anxiety, a relatively consistent pattern of reduced amygdala volume has been found"

Among 18-24 year olds in America (this demographic is around 50% non-White):
- 79% believe Whites are oppressors
- 51% believe this ideology benefits society
- 67% believe Jews are oppressors
- 53% support calling for the genocide of Jews
- 60% support violence against Israeli civilians
Statistical evidence that brown people are more anti-White than anti-"Zionist," that they're happy to call for the genocide of "oppressors," and that they're fine with killing civilian "oppressors" due to "grievances."

"Original antigenic sin (OAS), also known as antigenic imprinting, the Hoskins effect, or immunological imprinting, is the propensity of the immune system to preferentially use immunological memory based on a previous infection when a second slightly different version of that foreign pathogen is encountered."
This phenomenon was first described in 1960, has been well known in immunology for decades, and was discussed here in September 2021 in relation to COVID mass vaccination.
So in what is becoming an increasing familiar motif in system narratives, here is Bloomberg, years on when it doesn't matter anymore, December 2023, describing how boosters aren't working at all because of rapid viral evolution, immune imprinting, OAS, etc.

Synthesising amygdala size with McGilchrist's work on hemisphere differences, how well are right-wing and left-wing people described by the following:
Right-Hemisphere Dominant, Big Amygdala — forms a gestalt, a blurry big picture of the world, using a powerful threat processor. eg. "The Globalists are trying to kill me somehow"
Left-Hemisphere Dominant, Small Amygdala — view of the world is detail-fixated and myopic, formed with a weak threat processor. eg. "la la-la la-laaa I love having all these foreign cuisine options I'm fucking gay"

How many species concepts are there? by John Wilkins, 2010:
"on another count (where I asterisked what I thought were independent concepts in that list) there are 7 species concepts: agamospecies (asexuals), biospecies (reproductively isolated sexual species), ecospecies (ecological niche occupiers), evolutionary species (evolving lineages), genetic species (common gene pool), morphospecies (species defined by their form, or phenotypes), and taxonomic species (whatever a taxonomist calls a species)."
"Consider lions and tigers. They separated from each other, evolutionarily, about 3.7 million years ago. They can interbreed, however, forming ligers (male lion, female tiger cross) and tiglons (male tiger, female lion cross). In the wild, though, they don't. [...] while it can happen, when lions and tigers share a geographical range, they tend not to interbreed. Ecology and reproductive reach keep them separate."

Times of Israel article justifies the existence of Israel with typical leftist anti-colonial rhetoric:
"Claim: Zionism is Racism/Colonialism. Therefore, the October 7th Attacks were justified because of Israeli colonialism. Truth: Actually, the need for Zionism emerged out of racism against Jews, during the time that colonialism was disintegrating worldwide. [...] The UN Partition Plan (the precursor to the two-state solution) divided Israel roughly in half – half for the Jews and half for the Arabs. The Jews accepted it, and the Arabs rejected the plan. [...] Zionism is actually anti-colonialism. It is the removal of the British colonial powers and the return of the land to indigenous people, the Jewish people, in the same geographic location of the original Jewish civilization thousands of years ago. Zionism as a concept does not specify specific borders (there’s room for two states!), and it simply is the idea that Jews as a people have the right to self-determination."

UK: Average IQ of ethnic groups correlates strongly with their socioeconomic status
"In the UK, immigrant groups frequently have lower mean socioeconomic status (SES) than do White British, which is a source of concern for the British government. Group-level SES tends to show positive relationships with cognitive ability scores. Thus, the authors estimate the mean cognitive and SES scores of various ethnic groups and test empirically if they correlate. They compute SES and cognitive ability scores using high-quality representative samples of adults. They then computed correlations between the two measures. General SES and group-cognitive ability correlated strongly at r = .59 to r = .79 (N = 18 groups). Finally, the authors computed cognitive scores predicted by the nation or region-of-origin of the ethnic groups and calculated correlations between these expected scores and the measured scores. The predicted and measured scores correlated strongly at r = .93 (N = 16 groups). The authors conclude that ethnic differences in SES are partly linked to differences in cognitive ability"

The average age of menarche decreased from 16.5-years-old in 1840 to 13-years-old in 1995.
This trend of decline is consistent across races in the developed world, but there are significant race differences in average age of menarche; e.g. in America, the White mean is around 13, while the Black is around 12.
Early menarche is associated with a variety of physical and psychological problems, including:
anxiety
depression
suicidal behavior
substance abuse
early pregnancy
STDs
decreased height
hypercholesterolemia
heart disease
stroke
diabetes
breast cancer.
The decreasing age of menarche can be partially attributed to a variety of environmental factors but I suspect that post-industrial dysgenics is the main driving force. Individuals with worse genetic health exhibit r-selected ("live fast die young") behaviors, such as increased sexual desire, earlier age of reproduction, and, of course, earlier age of menarche.
