   2 Material & methods
   2.1 Subjects
   “” The internet questionnaire was distributed as a Qualtrics survey. Subjects were invited to participate in the study using a Facebook-based snowball method [18]. Potential volunteers, mostly members of the “Lab Bunnies” community, an 18,000-member group of Czech and Slovak nationals willing to take part in evolutionary psychology experiments, and their Facebook friends, were invited (using about 10 different posts on the Lab bunnies timeline) to participate in an anonymous study about “magical thinking, superstitions, prejudices, religion and the relation between various environmental factors, and health and wellbeing.” The questionnaire was also promoted in various electronic and printed media and TV–always without mentioning RhD, rhesus factor, or blood groups. Responders were not paid for their participation in the study; however, after finishing the 80-minute questionnaire, they were provided information about the results of related studies and their own results of several tests that were part of the questionnaire. “”

   well, it’s hard to get good tests on people w/out making them overly aware of the test/s prior to it being taken/administered…still, i suspect this lab bunnies group, their friends and the others who volunteered to participate in this study (w/out pay) were likely similar in their interest to take psychology tests (in general) and in other ways. i think the real issue here is: that for a minority group – being Rh(D) negative – and having such a large group of people globally who share this trait, i/we are not able to easily see/discern who the others in the group are. this may be the largest invisible minority group on the planet, and the mistake commonly made is that since the difference isn’t obvious, it doesn’t exist. that’s a problem. i have problems w/ people trying to make me “the same” as them or “normal” in almost any respect often. differences usually make a difference, and being Rh(D) negative does make a difference.

   fwiw: here’s one person’s Rh(D) negative traits list: 11 Rh Negative Blood Type Personality Traits by Keith Miller https://futureofworking.com/11-rh-negative-blood-type-personality-traits/

   i like these:

   “” 1. You prefer facts over opinions.
   People who have Rh Negative blood tend to prefer facts over opinions when speaking with others or conducting research. They form opinions based on the facts that are available to them, willing to keep an open mind about their decisions if new information comes to life. People who are Rh Negative tend to clash with those who treat opinions as fact because their goal is to seek out authentic truth, not a perceived reality.

   2. You feel separate from others.
   People who have Rh negative personality traits often feel like they live on their own island, even if they are surrounded by people. When they are with others, they feel like they stand out. Many people with this blood type tend to pursue creative careers that seek out facts to further human knowledge. You’ll find many Rh negative individuals in scientific careers, engineering, and even astronomy.

   3. You struggle to form friendships.
   People who have Rh negative blood often find it difficult to form relationships. They seek out friendships based on their interactions with others, often “testing” to see if authentic conversation is a priority. Lying about one’s own life story is a big turnoff to people with these personality traits. For that reason, people with this blood type often seek out others with the same personality traits to find friendships. Most say they have 1-3 good friends.

   4. You are the smartest person you know.
   People with Rh Negative blood are ridiculously intelligent. Their intelligence often comes across as being rude, arrogant, or cocky to others who don’t understand them. Compared to other personality profiles, Rh negative individuals tend to have the highest IQ levels, excel in school, and do well following entrepreneurial ventures.

   5. You experience unusual encounters.
   Perhaps the most unique thing about being in this group of people is the fact that others see people with Rh negative personality traits as being intensely trustworthy. They sense their quest to always have truth, which means they are willing to come up to someone as a stranger to discuss events from their life. Someone with these Rh negative traits will encounter at least one person per day who wants to share a personal story or offer a personal observation. “”

   “” 7. You experience the emotions of others.
   People with Rh negative personality traits have a high emotional IQ, in addition to their overall higher intelligence. When they encounter other people, they can sense and experience their emotional state. These personality traits even make it possible to experience perceived emotions, like the impact of warfare when reading an article online that talks about a current conflict. It can be so strong in some people that it can cause them to become physically ill.

   8. You have high levels of intuition.
   These personality traits also help people be able to sense the truth in others, even if that person is attempting to masquerade as something or someone else. Games which involve lying, such as poker, are seen as easy for people with these personality traits when they have learned to listen to their intuition. For some, this specific trait is so strong that they can predict when they’ll win the lottery, know when to hit when playing Blackjack, or anticipate an accident while driving because they feel something is coming. “”

   “” 11. You are comfortable in isolation.
   Some people like to say that humans were meant to be social creatures. With Rh negative personality traits, people tend to prefer isolation more than they do companionship. Most people with this personality trait will form a deep bond with a spouse, lighter bonds with certain friends, and then brush off random acquaintences. They are just as comfortable being alone, finding things to do, as they are spending time with the people they trust the most. You will not find people with these personality traits attending social events or going to new places with the goal of seeking out new relationships. They believe that a relationship will form if the circumstances of life direct them to do so. “”

  I very much agree with the ones you picked, Ken. The isolation part I am undecided over. I myself just spent 5 hours doing absolutely nothing, reading some stuff, working a little… my pace. My mother who is A- hates being alone, cannot be alone too long. She also loves the cold and I love the heat. There are some aspects that always seem to throw me off.

  i can handle isolation about as well as anyone (because it’s been necessary for me to learn this skill/trait/ability), but i’d prefer and want to be w/ a compatible woman at least sometimes and/or for the long-haul/’til the end/my end or her’s in essence – for my & her overall-well-being/individual & combined satisfaction. socializing – communicating w/ compatible others helps one’s/my mind/brain/sanity/mental health usually. language developed from one’s need to communicate w/ others (perhaps w/out using force) and from biological changes/adaptations and such that were beneficial to/promoted the species continuance most likely. w/out socializing in some form (and reading others’ works and writing one’s own) one’s metal ability will likely decline faster than if 1 is w/ 1 or w/ compatible others at least sometimes or when each is / all are mutually consentingly available. it seems finding compatibility for Rh(D) negative people in this world is quite challenging and more difficult than it is for the D positives – based simply on the fact that others of our Rh type are much less common and usually hidden from view/awareness/from the lack of knowledge of most others to all. once again – ignorance fills the status quo void – while loneliness & misunderstanding becomes the companion of the sensitive, intelligent, too different. divergent & ones w/ good character.

  I look for evolutionary benefit for how we feel and desire and often focus on the Neanderthals. They were in small groups, manageable – 30 people or so. When being alone, you were in danger. You needed your tribe. Now the environment is different, but tribal thinking and feeling continues. Look at whatever job you have had in your life… there are tribes forming everywhere and smaller groups are strongest. Of course, what was important and is to find the right people who have your back. Give-and-take… in life, there is a different mindset that people appear to have adapted – people are focused on mass media, not real information from small groups – people don’t need people as much when there is need – that is now middleman government’s job. In other words: we are disconnected from each other and the middleman is our “friend”. This is part of why we are in the situation we are in. People don’t trust the people they can trust, because we don’t get to know each other. Connecting with Rh negatives is IMO exactly what I needed, even though the biggest issue is not yet having had the chance to elevate that to offline – especially now with COVID, that is an issue. As for relationships: It’s the same like when you have friends who are real friends vs. friends who are not real friends. It’s best to avoid the latter. I went through stages where my online relationships were what elevated me when offline didn’t do it for me. Eventually offline followed.

  I totally relate to that. Safety in numbers…my mother always use to say before I went out on the weekend. Its so true…that’s why abusers isolate there victims…my husband has snipped the digital/virtual phone landline so people can’t reach me and vise versa…I hate being totally isolated. If by my own choice, that’s different. But to be afraid to drive because you may be run off road or just the fact that someone wants to violate your privacy is something my brain can not rationalize. I have tons of trust issues. Its always a jealousy thing…where one person gangs others up on me. Ironically as a teenager and college student I never had these issues…I’m 52 yrs old? Now? I was always afraid of social media. I’m not filtered on this website which is probably!y naive. I figure anyone interested in this site are probably rhnegative…and relate more than not..even if I say it and no one does…I wish there was a place to meet RH negatives in real life…this is a computer tablet…does not seem real…I’m stunned at how I was attacked and literally left to die by a friend and certain family members after my son died…I always thought those people loved me. I do not know if I will ever understand why my family member took my medication away which abrupt sensation causes death..my sister is a nurse..left me alone to sick to protect myself with her sick husband whom she new raped me. Because I rejected his advances I was used as target practice…I think a bee bee gun…red target…I had my bank account closed my car destroyed He urinated all over my dead sons papers and clothes. My son died Sept this was November. I was laughed at when I was to sick to stand…and put on the streets I was in a homeless shelter and could not get home. But if I don’t forgive these vile people…its I that dies inside. I am grateful to have walked that unexpected road because my heart swells with love and compassion for the sick and poor. But I wake up shaking…afraid of human beings because I realized we are or can be more inhumane than any living creature…that truth has been a rude awakening to my once overly pampered life. Its true maybe an RH negative trait, but I do not believe I was to experience what I did unless it was to benefit a greater purpose..to help someone. I do believe I’m here for a bigger purpose, I do have weird stuff happen, I am intuitive , I am an empath, I do have the eyes that stop people to comment, I am strawberry bLond, I am ADHD, I am ambidextrous, I do see familiar resemblance…I don’t fit in, I think too much, I ask too many questions, I feel at peace in nature and love astronomy…I am unique, I am RH negative…and I do feel like the only people who will ever ” get me” are other RH negatives…So even though its a tablet..there is a connection…I do not read other things like Facebook or Twitter…so idk if maybe no one in the world gets me…

  Just said it all… ME! OH WOW DO I LIVE SO ALONE BUT LOVE OTHERS. IM AB- NEGATIVE. I LAUGHED AND CRIED READING YOUR TRUTHS. THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME FEEL NOT SO LONELY! I’m a retired veteran fire fighter and hated for it, despised by many. I’ve been through the worst torture for my compassion and concern and it’s all been used to abuse me. I relocated my wonderful home to be safe with family because my observations and care were twisted as being nosey or challenging. If blood type came up I was shunned or beat down. I’m so withdrawn any more so I find safety staying in isolation. I have souch to offer but not worth my life I almost lost. I’m different but in a gentle way

   Ken;

   The Rh Neg profile that you have posted fits me perfectly !

   Mike:
   A key phrase from the study is this

   “The protein coded by the functional allele D possesses an extremely strongly immunogenic epitope.”

   Translated to simple english, that means that the immune systems of Rh negs do behave differently.

   I wish that we could get the “powers that be” (governmental or corporate) to include the ABO and RH
   factor in the studies on COVID19 tests and vaccines….but do not know which doors may open in response to such a request.

   The “default value” are studies that focus on marketability or proving prejudices to be “right or wrong”.

  Richard I actually emailed Harvard and Yale and they couldn’t direct me anywhere and gave me the honest truth to stand by or ask my PCP! I am extremely concerned due to the rhogam shot I received in 1991 and 1992 while pregnant with my son. Google the lawsuits and what they did to plasma before giving me and baby the injections! Man lab altered with mercury. My son has had tons of medical and mental learning issues and we just found out 2021 they did this! So life changing. Statue of limitations!? He’s my child and the best! Lots of unanswered fears for all of us. Stay safe and thank you for your input

   I really relate to so many things mentioned in your video mike, and with traits in kens post. I say i dont date because i cant right now. I found The right person( lover) but he is engaged. The other lover married. I was celebate for 20 yrs. Its just the two. Would i like to date them? Yes.. but i guess not possible right now. My life has flipped upside down. I use to travel and loved geography, culture, everything that had history beauty I tried to travel to. I needed to sacrifice the things i love to do or want to do.. to survive. My husband is scary and stalks me . I always loved being alone in nature. Hiking ,skiing, riding trails on horseback. I had to walk away from everyone and everything to try to rebuild what broke from severe irrational abuse. Alone? This has been scary and unique. I miss backround noise..noise we dont even realize is there until your totally alone. A pen dropping a child laughing refrigerator door opening.. music , footsteps, chatter.. A shower running.. Its strange how you think your alone with so much going on around you. I had to learn to just be….I have very few people in my life now. I had my phone hacked again. Its hard to have a life when so many apps are perfect for stalkers to control you. My contacts were linked and somehow he was spoof texting, writing emails pretending to be me.. Was run iff the road Two times last week and realized google location maps and gps apps on phone on.. I isolate so no one gets hurt by him. But i work and try day by day to become the girl i use to know. I so grateful that I can finally relate and understand This RH negative group. You make sense when so many people i just dont understand. Im grateful to share traits that always made me feel like something was wrong with me. Im grateful for all of you.

   some thoughts of mine:

   i cannot tell just by looking at someone whether they are Rh(D) negative or not. i seem to like people that are different. since being Rh(D) negative is a difference, it tends to produce differences in the people who have this trait. i think being more intuitive (both feeling-wise, thinking-wise & a mixture of both) & being more sensitive are common traits of this group.

   i tend to focus on the work that people do. i know & tend to value people by their works – by what they produce. women for me are the exception. w/ the need for me to balance my hormone levels daily – being something i was born w/ – female beauty – my focus/area of interest w/ those i like providing (along w/ my imagination almost always) the balancing. no-thing seems to last forever, and should certainly include me as well.

   all the other things that can be said, overlaid or used to describe people/anyone (like MBTI or psychopathic traits) can be done w/ Rh(D) negatives. my worldview/belief system puts a lot of emphasis on freedom w/ responsibility/accountability for one’s own actions and choice – the ability to choose/have options. no one came into this world by choice. having choices/options in a very real sense means one is still alive and not dead to this world. from my pov: the more choices/options one has, the more alive, healthy, vital and so on one likely is or at least can be. conversely: the less choices one has, especially as an adult, the less alive, free, variegated all things tend to become…stultifying, boring, set in stone, fixed and closer to actual death are words & feelings i tend to experience when less freedom and having less choice start to develop in my life. some of this comes w/ aging – some doesn’t.

   excluding the birth process and the order/human laws enforced upon people within a specific social system that is usually designed to create a specific outcome/product…i see psychopathy as the driving force that is largely behind all the forcing of humans in this world. if people were told the truth by those who shape & create the systems, they are born into & live w/in, then all people would likely have more control over where things human and all are going and why. that’s the psycho-angle: the unnecessary forcing, the lying, the scamming…and in this planet’s case – the machining of all.

   the spectrum i see is: organic life on one side and inorganic machined life on the other. the societies on this planet look to me like they are being machined/forced out of existence. the traits that tend to exist in the people supporting/pushing the inorganic side/way/path for humanity – are traits that tend to be the exact opposite of those that promote organic human life…where things like: choice, freedom and truth live/exist.
