Venezuela is an example of r/K selection theory in real life.
They have socialism there because THEY LIKE SOCIALISM.
Socialism is only part of Venezuela's problems. There are plenty of Socialist countries in the world (Sweden, Denmark) that are doing just fine. (Until Muslim immigration of course).
r-Selected people are programmed to acquire as many resources as possible with as little effort as possible and breed as fast as possible; until they hit carrying capacity.
They don't focus on literature, science, medicine, invention, and the other technological advancements that primarily came from the Western world. They eat and breed.
When they hit carrying capacity, then it's 1984 Ethiopia all over again.
Expect many more Venezuelas and Ethiopias in the coming decades. Africa's population is expected to double, then it's look out below!
Just like in the 80s, I'm expecting commercials all day on TV featuring African toddlers with distended bellies and covered with flies. With their illiterate 70 IQ mother standing nearby wondering why she can't feed her 18 babies anymore.
Socialism isn't the only culprit, or even the main one. It's genetic.
r/K Selection Theory. Look it up.
Thank you.

So, r-selected people are genetically wired to demographically explode and then burn out, while K-selected people are wired to learn from their mistakes and not repeat those things?
Look at us: we, the supposedly K-selected people voted for Hoover and FDR, and you know what resulted from that. Us K-selected people also elected Clinton, Bush II and Obama. Are we really as “K-selected” as we think?
