The number of high-school-age teens who are having sex dropped markedly over a decade, a trend that includes substantial declines among younger students, African Americans and Hispanics, according to a new government report released Thursday.
The survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed especially steep declines in the past two years. It adds to evidence about ongoing progress in reducing risky behavior by teenagers, who are becoming pregnant, smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol and using marijuana at rates lower than younger people before them, according to public health surveys.
There is a reason that the amusing meme of dropping commies out of helicopters is catching on among the youth.
We are the vanguard – the early adopters. We were the first few outliers in our generation that began the shift as that Economic Misery Curve rose and the Conservative Policy Mood followed behind. We were the ultra-sensitive amygdalae, predisposed to pick up on the faintest K-stimuli and begin adapting early. It was tough, because we had to endure this tail end of peak-r as K-strategists.
But now the K is really in the air, like the electricity and tension before a big storm. Things are going down, and more and more human machines are cueing in on the stimuli, and in response their brains are going K. Amygdalae are growing more and more, and it is showing in the statistics. This is a wave of right wing nationalist reinforcements on the way.
The funny thing is, they don’t even know why. Why is sex less of a priority? Why is getting high and being weak and out of control not desirable? Why is throwing commies out of helicopters so funny? Why does Pinochet look like such a great guy? Why are these kids different? They have no idea.
The machine just adapts, the behavior happens, and the next generation of Pepes emerges from the mist, armed with funny memes, sharp wits, and a deep hatred for leftism. We are multiplying.
This is our era, and reinforcements are on the way. Drink these heady days in, because this is a rare experience for K’s. Throughout history, not all of us have been this lucky.
