Is There a Follower Gene ?

And perhaps a genetic disorder caused by its deletion?

I have no data to back up this hypothesis, but I conjecture that the majority of people have a (dominant) “Follower Gene”. And conjecturing further, the innate programming from this gene is reinforced with schooling (e.g., listen to the teacher [Authority]; everyone sit in your chair and keep your mouth shut [I had a band-aide put across my mouth!]; everyone stand up when the bell rings; maybe even wear a uniform; etc.). If wolves are any guide, perhaps¹ about 10% - 15% (male or female, doesn’t matter) of people might have a deletion of this gene and be “lone wolves” rather than “pack wolves”.

Now, many of our psychopathic leaders seem not to have this Follower Gene – you can see this in the way they think it is perfectly acceptable for THEM not to have to obey the rules they impose on us re CoVid-1984, whether it’s having an affair outside their household, getting their hair done, eating with a group in a fine restaurant without masks, traveling, etc., you name it. (While I have ignored all these idiotic rules, that doesn’t mean I’ve been having my hair done [just my nails] or having sex with anyone outside [or even inside] my household, unfortunately). Similarly these rules didn’t apply to the large corporations that made a financial killing during the shutdown. And these elites tend to marry within their class, as most followers tend marry within their class. So, we might perhaps have an elite “Queen Bee” class, and a “Worker Bee” class.

I used to blame the world’s problems on the psychopathic war-mongering greedy pathological-lying leaders whom I love to hate. But Diane would always argue that, no, they are not the problem, the people are the problem.

And now I believe she is right. The problem is not the leaders, but all the followers who obey their leaders (e.g., just look at all the people that followed Napoleon to be virtually wiped out in his first war in Egypt [he also got the whole navy sunk, but did manage to catch the literally last ship out and paraded through Paris as the victor of Egypt], and then his next and his next, and especially his final war where he lost virtually his whole army of over a half million soldiers who followed him into Russia [after he spent the Summer with the Tsar of Russia and signed a peace treaty with him]).

This Follower Gene and programming, I conjecture, makes it impossible for most people to question the Anthropogenic Global Warming (I mean Global Warming, no, I mean Climate Change, no, I mean the Climate Crisis) Narrative; the CoVid-1984 Narrative; or whatever Narrative the MSM and politicians are selling at the moment, e.g., the Next War.

But, other than blaming this on a gene, am saying anything new? As my brother DavE likes to point out, just go read (again, and maybe again) the Chapter “The Grand Inquisitor” from Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamasov. Most people don’t want, and have never wanted, to give up their following of “leaders”, and to rather decide their own fates, or make up their own stories.

This seems to be the human condition, and it has probably been true for hundreds of thousands of years. Probably “following the herd” was very important in prehistoric times for survival. And, well, maybe it might still be true today (e.g., look at Mr. Assange … he sure isn’t having much fun or making many babies and passing along his genes in that U.K. maximum security prison for only publishing true things [e.g., our war-crimes], rather than being a good reputable reporter and earning a Pulitzer for publishing good propaganda in the MSM [e.g., NYT, WaPo, NPR, MSNBC, etc.]). As a close friend of mine told me, “following the herd has worked quite well for me”.

Maybe those suffering through life because of a genetic deletion of this Follower Gene might hopefully someday be cured with an mRNA vaccine! (I probably shouldn’t give them [whoever they are] any ideas).

And what’s interesting, is that while the life expectancy of lone-wolves is much less than that of the pack-wolves, somehow the lone wolf gene (or the Follower-Gene-Deletion) has persisted for a million years … albeit at the 10% level², perhaps implying some benefit to the wolf species, if not for the individual wolf.

OK, let’s end with a bit of science:

Q: How can you tell the sex of a chromosome?

A: Pull down its genes.

1. I have no idea how accurate this number is; saw it in a single article about wolf packs.
