Study Notes

GenoTypes and Worldview

"Optimistic worldview" refers to a biological perspective on how a GenoType reacts to environmental challenges.
Different GenoTypes evolved to tackle distinct challenges, influencing their worldview and survival strategies.
Hunting GenoTypes developed traits for proactive survival, while agricultural GenoTypes adapted to growing food.
Key challenges for some GenoTypes included famine and scarcity, whereas others faced wars and conflict.
Ancestors adapted their behaviors and physical attributes based on the challenges they encountered, shaping their descendants' GenoTypes and worldviews.

Reactive vs. Proactive Worldviews

A reactive worldview manifests as aggressive, proactive, and often hostile responses to threats or needs.
Key phrases illustrate this mindset: “Kill that game!” and “Run through the forest!” underscore survival instincts.
Physical attributes associated with reactive GenoTypes (Hunters and Explorers) include strong muscles, increased bone length, and robust cardiovascular and immune systems.
This worldview is linked to inflammation response, suggesting that physiological reactions and behaviors are intertwined.
The patterns of reactivity in these GenoTypes are largely established in early childhood development.
