Adam Walsh | Oxytocin science | Pinker's warning on moral crusades | NCMEC reporting underwear pic 200 times
Posted: Fri Aug 21, 2026 10:50 am
tl;dr if you don't want to read all of this
1) I post science showing the hormone oxyotcin causes mother infant bonding
2) lack of oxytocin in mice makes them bad parents
3) oxytocin makes humans have extreme love and compassion for the ingroup members only
4) and nothing but maltrust, contempt, envy or outright hate for the outgroup depending on the person
5) pedophiles are the ultimate outgroup to dehumanize and oxytocin plays a role
6) child protection organizations are playing the oxytocin game with poster child victims of horrible crimes to drum up public emotions in a us vs them battle.
7) I post Stephen Pinker's research showing how most violence in human history was based on people who claimed to have righteous moral values
8) I argue child protection instincts from oxytocin contribute to these strong moral values and for the most part they are heavily misguided into attacking peaceful MAPs/pedos

I will address this bravely. Let me start off by saying my hope is no one educated is falling for NCMEC's oxytocin and moral panic gig anymore. We all know the vast majority of "CSAM" isn't really CSAM at all and just borderline material of kids in swim wear, underwear or dancing in their bedroom and social media borderline lewd stuff. Humanity is evolving beyond tribal narratives and easy to understand neuroscience can take us out of this anti pedo/MAP hysteria for good. So let's have a conversation on why I used the term "oxytocin and moral panic gig"
Science of Oxytocin and how it relates to anti pedo hysteria
Q:So how does oxytocin relate to this zarkle, Isn't that the cuddle hormone?
A from zarkle: It only makes you cuddle people you love and makes you want to declare cosmic war on enemies
For those who don't know oxytocin is a brain chemical that causes
1)humans to have the most extreme love and "cuddle and adore" compassion for people they love
2) and nothing but destructive hate for out group members they dislike
3) more cooperation and empathy for people they trust or care about
4) and less cooperation and empathy for people they distrust / don't care about
5) trust of people who are similar to you (like same race)
6) distrust of people who are less similar to you (different race)
7) to view your team side as wholesome and loving
8) to view the other team side as nothing but wicked and corrupt
9) for mothers to protect and bond with their young
Both animal and human studies have provided conclusive evidence that oxytocin (OXT) acts in the brain (eg, medial preoptic area, ventral tegmental area, nucleus accumbens) to promote parental behaviour under different reproductive and physiological conditions. OXT appears to accelerate and strengthen the neural process that makes newborns attractive or rewarding. Furthermore, OXT reduces stress/anxiety and might improve mood and well being, resulting in indirect benefits for parents.
10) the big kicker that proves my thesis about child protection instincts contributing to anti pedophilia. Mother animals deprived of oxytocin show low interest in protecting their young

We hypothesized that genetic disruption of the Oxtr would impact maternal care, mood and anxiety. Specifically, we predicted that Oxtr −/− dams would have impaired maternal care and increased anxiety-like and depression-like behaviors in the postpartum period. We found that Oxtr −/− dams had significantly higher levels of pup abandonment compared to controls, which is consistent with previous work in Oxtr FB/FB mice.

Its saying female mice without working oxytocin receptors could still give birth but they sucked at parenting and abandoned their pups most of the time. Making them sloppy parents
Oxytocin causes us vs them thinking
Oxytocin is a love/hate trust/distrust chemical and does different affects depending on the relation of the person/group it is interpreting.
So my main point is Oxytocin has a dark side like Robert Sapolsky and Susan Fiske stress. If you slightly mistrust someone before oxytocin kicks you'll strongly mistrust then, if you are envious of someone before oxytocin, you will be extremely envious of them and if you hate someone oxytocin will contribute to disgust reactions and the brain's emotion center (the amygdala) firing away until you have nothing but rage and contempt for an outgroup member; such as a peaceful pedophile. The amgydala (emotional brain area) and insular cortex (disgust/distaste brain area) plays a heavy role too, oxytocin evokes them when we experience hate and fear.

If there’s competition, oxytocin evokes distrust, envy, gloat, and disgust.
Brain imaging showed that the cortical-amygdala and insular cortex mediate this competition. These are brain circuits involve in disgust. “A basic role of oxytocin may be to increase vigilance, defensive aggression, coupled with the expression of disgust associated behaviours, to protect oneself and in‐group members against the out‐group threat,” Martin Kavaliers, a professor of psychology and neuroscience, and co-workers wrote in a 2018 review titled “Social Neuroscience fo Disgust.”
Oxytocin, known as the love/cuddle hormone, is a chemical produced mainly in a small region of the brain called the Hypothalamus. It is then stored and released in the bloodstream by the pituitary gland. Oxytocin can impact social recognition, relationship formation, and long-term emotional attachment. Besides, it also helps in reducing blood pressure, which in turn, is beneficial for the heart. It also helps in lowering stress. There is empirical evidence to prove that oxytocin reduces the level of cortisol (stress hormone) in saliva.
So far so good. Right? Oxytocin promotes love, relationships and also benefits your health. But scientists say there is a dark side to this hormone too.
According to research published in Psychology Today, oxytocin promotes human ethnocentrism—the tendency to view one's group as centrally important and superior to other groups. Ethnocentrism creates intergroup bias that fuels prejudice, xenophobia, and intergroup violence. Additionally, oxytocin also enhances envy and gloating in a social game.
Oxytocin in the real world
when prosecutors talk about the innocence of the victim and how evil the defendant is
With NCMEC's example we clearly see they keep milking little Adam Walsh, a 4 year old child tragically murdered by a psycho lunatic 4 decades ago to drum up these emotions. To make normies think there is a battle of cosmic significance against pedophiles and children.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_ ... d_Children
https://ncmec.org/blog/2026/adam-walsh- ... s-children
Behind the Adam Walsh Act – signed into law 20 years ago – was a little boy whose life was cut tragically short and parents who refused to let that loss define the end of his story. Instead, they transformed unimaginable grief into one of the most significant child protection movements in American history.
Six-year-old Adam Walsh’s abduction and murder in 1981 devastated his family and shocked the nation. Driven by heartbreak and an unwavering determination to protect other children, his parents, John and Revé Walsh, devoted their lives to changing the way America responds to missing and sexually exploited children, co-founding the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).
The Adam Walsh Act created stronger national standards for sex offender registration and notification, making it harder for convicted offenders to disappear simply by crossing state lines. So far, 18 states, 136 tribes and four territories (https://smart.ojp.gov/sorna/substantially-implemented) have met the baseline requirements. Although many states have made improvements, 32 have yet to fully implement them. There’s still work to be done.
Adam Walsh was abducted on July 27, 1981, from a Sears store in a Hollywood, Florida, mall while briefly left unsupervised by his mother. His severed head was found about two weeks later in a canal roughly 120 miles away; the rest of his body was never recovered.
Ottis Toole, a convicted serial killer, arsonist, and associate of Henry Lee Lucas, emerged as the prime suspect. He confessed multiple times starting in 1983 (providing details about the abduction site, method, and other aspects), but repeatedly recanted. Key potential physical evidence (including bloodstained carpeting from a car linked to him) was lost by police, preventing DNA testing later. Toole died in prison in 1996 of liver failure while serving life sentences for other murders; his niece later reported a deathbed confession to John Walsh.
We all agree a kidnapped and beheading a child is horrifying
We all agree little Adam Walsh indeed did suffer a graphic inhumane fate and brutal death at the hands of a deranged child raping savage lunatic named Ottis Toole who deserved miserable life without parole, and while intentions were best from early NCMEC to help John Walsh and his family look what it turned into.
Forty years later remembering Adam's legacy has been perverted into mass reporting borderline images of kids on social media of little girls dancing, giant tech corporations mass flooding ICAC agencies with dancing kid media that don't qualify as CSAM- and normies in hysteria about satanic elite pedos controlling the world, extreme hostile prison and surveillance registry state against peaceful pedophiles and special needs adults who are NOT a threat to society and who commit victimless crimes like saving images of kids in underwear from shopping websites, and reminents of comstock indecency laws criminalizing non lewd children for sexual arousal.
all because it makes them say eww. And Adam Walsh is used as the poster child of this oxytocin game. The viewers of NCMEC media are suppose to feel extreme compassion for baby Adam (as they should) and nothing but hatred and contempt for peaceful pedos/MAPs (as they shouldn't) who are not a threat to society. They will show pictures of baby Adam to justify totalitarian surveillance against peaceful pedos/MAPs. There is no nuance of only applying strict laws to violent offenders, a one size fits all register where all registrants don't even count as human. Pedophiles aren't human feed the wood chipper normies say.
That is the hormone oxytocin at work. Giving enormous compassion for the victim Adam while viewing the outgroup as wicked evil and comparing them to savage serial killer rapist. That is anti Enlightment, that is collectivism to lump all MAPs/pedos into the same box and 99.9% of us are nothing like the evil man Ottis Toole. Many of us agree adult and prepubescent child sex is harmful. And we know socially these MAPs/pedos are treated worse then serial killers by a braindead society following disgust reflexes alone. So from a legal perspective, in the eyes of society No contact non CSAM using MAPs are just as bad as child serial killers. Therefore they have no rights because American defined freedom is nothing more then a popularity contest of good vs evil decided by people H.L Mencken would consider idiots.
Law enforcement, Child protection organizations and many brands of feminist say adnasseum that saving, sharing and producing images of sexy kids in bikinis is tied to human trafficking and sadism and more cases like Adam. But they provide no strong evidence. Just performance and explosive reactions and very strong laws meant to make no one dare challenge the empire. Anyone who studies anti authoritarian politics, the pitfalls of collectivist thinking and Robert Sapolsky's research on how disgust is a categorization tool for banishing people you dislike knows extremely strong legislation and populist rhetoric against an outgroup is always used by those who can't reason.
Types like IWF and NCMEC and ICAC agencies across the world fail to realize two things can be true at the same time we don't live in a black and white world. 1) Agencies can exist to protect children from sextortion and rape and 2) peaceful pedophiles can safely love children under novel socially acceptable conditions. It will require society to flip its current morals on its head but the current system will not hold, it leads to an unhealthy society where 17-19 age gaps cause enormous social hauntings and 25% of American's think they are saving the world from elite satanic pedo cannibals and Nancy Pelosi's husband was beaten severely with a hammer by a qanon believing monster.

Those who get a mental high thinking that reporting a underwear girl image 200 times are fighting a cosmic evil. A "satanic deep state pedo cult" that goes back 1000s of years. When in reality they are just contributing to mass incarceration of special needs adults while roleplaying as child saving heros.

Which brings me to my next point. Stephen Pinker's claim about how a large share of violence and brutality in human history was not caused by land or resources but morality.
Stephen Pinker's point about morality based violence
Most violence throughout human history was not due to fighting over resources and land. It was due to disagreements on morality
https://skepticink.com/incredulous/2013 ... r-society/
https://www.prosocial.world/es/posts/wo ... er-society
The motive for most homicides is moralistic, such as revenge or retribution against an unfaithful spouse and not purely selfishness, as in robbery
The largest episodes of bloodletting have moralistic causes: the holocaust, Pol Pot, the crusades, Stalinist purges, et cetera were all enacted by people who believed that they were carrying out a moral good
moralistic motives include deference to an authority, conformity to social/community norms, and the safe-guarding of pure divine essences against contamination and defilement; This can lead people to moralize actions that hurt nobody such as homosexuality or writing a book about Muhammad then prompting horrific punishment
Pinker suggests that instead of attaching virtue to such things as conformity to authority and purity, we ought moralize maximizing human flourishing and minimizing harm which do not come naturally to us. He summarizing this brief opening, Understanding, recruiting, and indeed minimizing human moralization is a great way to leverage greater understanding of human nature to make the world a better place.
You might think that . . . The world needs more morality. If we can find out what makes people moral we can get people to do more of it. In fact, I would say that the main conclusion of a lot of this research is that that is exactly the opposite of what we should do." --Steven Pinker
Be assured this is only Steven Pinker’s ‘hook’ opener. He goes on to explain that he actually favors MORE morality of the sort that increases what he describes as the “rational thought” based ultimate goal of morality: flourishing and reducing harm.
Pinker wants LESS moralizing of the sort that motivates punishment of behaviors that merely disrespect moral ‘authority’ or violate moral ‘purity’. In his 2011 book, The Better Angels of Our Nature, Pinker argues that this sort of ‘moralizing’ has motivated most of the violence in human history, and continues to do so. Understanding why people persistently do this sort of moralizing offers the opportunity to argue against it and the violence it motivates.
Loyalty, authority, and sanctity foundations correspond to the “authority” and “purity” bases of moralizing that Pinker identifies as the source of most human violence and much of its suffering.
That just screams the concept of childhood purity is an evolutionary mismatch based on faulty morality. In other chats we find on Youtube/articles Pinker talks about common moral based crimes like people who murder due to a spouse cheating (moral violation) and revenge vendettas to pay back others, another moral violation. As well as utopian moral beliefs on an after life and examples of radical Muslim's saying kill non believers and apostates. And most infamous Hitler's "cleansing of the Jews" was a moral crusade against a allegedly immoral class, resulting in tragedy of killing 6 million innocent Jews. As well as communism's moral crusade to forcefully share wealth/property that killed around 80 million (excluding Tsar, Nazis) just because they wanted to own stuff. And other religious wars in history like the Crusades, and tragedies like witch burnings where innocent women were burnt at the stake for being "demonic".
We get the point morality can be a killer and have unintended consequences and create blood bathes. Especially like the moral panic against peaceful pedos/MAPs. Why should morals we inherited from natural selection about child protection instincts be our deepest guide? They clearly are invalid and not working. Children are the most valuable resource but our way about going about protecting them is not supported by evidence.
Just have an AI talk to you about Sapolsky. Pinker and Haidt's research on disgust, violence and morality and how it all connects. The AI will never defend pedophilia but it will gladly explain these topics on a lay man's level. if you want to learn more about how disgust contributes to punitive attitudes and irrational thinking just as Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini whatever, and mention those people.
Peace out.

Peace out.
