An Interview with Psychopaths Jeff and Anna. Pro-social v Anti-social Psychopathy

Image
" Apparances are a glimpse of the unseen. "  Anaxagoras This is a hypothetical interview with Jeff, an anti-social psychopath serving prison time and Anna, a pro-social psychopath marketing director for a firm specializing in children's entertainment. Let us assume they are being totally honest as they assume nobody will know their true identities.  Psychologist:  "Hello Jeff and hello Anna, sorry for the shackles Jeff, but your warden insisted. And Anna, I must say you are looking stunning as always. Thank you both for agreeing to meet today. It will advance my research into psychopathy. So Jeff, when did you first determine you were a psychopath?" Jeff: "Well, as a child I never really fit in. People thought I was a dork or something, maybe because I could not understand emotions. I mean, one day my teacher told us her dog got hit by a car and I raised my hand and asked what the big deal was, as she could buy another dog. Later during recess I got beat up...

Once You Learn How They Try to Manipulate You and Your Family...

  Mind control defined: "...the process by which indivivual or collective freedom of choice and action is compromised by agents or agencies that modify or distort perception, motivation, affect, cognitive or behavioral outcomes." Phillip Zimbardo Computer programming - Place into a machine the data to insure desired outcomes. "All television is educational television. The question is: what is it teaching? " Nicholas Johnson George Orwell noted that "All art is propaganda." Was he correct? Well, yes. Even if someone wanted to write a book, develop a script or bring a television show to life, there is no way they can do so without injecting bias.  So in everything you see or read, there is a message. However, it must be noted that few, if any, writers or directors try to stay away from injecting their own preferences and beliefs, and this is what we must be aware of when consuming their products. If you don't believe the power of media, look how you, or...

The Winning Attitude You Need for a 2020 Victory and Beyond

“ As the night advanced I did not care so much about the audience – I turned making tips into a game of sorts.  In fact, as I gathered more and more money I became more and more flirtatious with the customers…  It began to feel like I was using sexuality as a weapon and I was enjoying this form of manipulation to gain an objective. "  Excerpt from “ Freedom from Conscience – Descent into Darkness. ” The above quote is taken from my thriller, "Freedom from Conscience - Descent into Darkness" (check link below).  Yes, it is fiction but it is true that psychology plays a major role all aspects of life - including the manipulation of voting behavior. And while most people are not aware of the advanced psychological strategies that are employed to affect regular Americans,  the powers-that-be, deep state and media elite are.  And you can bet that the 24/7 attacks on those who question the elite are done to accomplish one thing - to dampen your spirits an...

The Psychology of a Possible U.S. Civil War

" It is clearly not easy for man to give up the satisfaction of this inclination to aggression.  They do not feel comfortable without it.  The advantage which a comparatively small cultural group offers of allowing this instinct an outlet in the form of hostility against intruders is not to be despised. It is always possible to bind together a considerable number of people in love, so long as there are other people left over to receive the manifestations of their aggressiveness. " Sigmund Freud: Civilization and its Discontents . Ever find yourself angry at a brother, sister, parent or cousin? Sometimes the emotions can get you seeing red but then a while later you have put the differences aside? Yes, we tend to have far more long-term toleration of those who we are related to. And generally, even if we do have differences with a relative we would still tear into a non-relative who attacked them. Studies in anthropology and psychology show that genetics bond peop...

The Propganda Machine You Invited Into Your Home

" There's no denying television is one of the most powerful propaganda media we've ever invented ." Jim Fowler: zoologist and TV host ("Wild Kingdom") Imagine you come home one day and you discover a couple of "missionaries" in your living room teaching your children.  No, they are not, for instance, Mormons sharing a religious message but instead represent a liberal organization that wants your children to question their parent's faith, values, morality and even tells them their very heritage is corrupt and evil. What would your reaction be? Get them refreshments, ignore or toss them out? This is not really all that hypothetical a situation because you likely invite them in every day and place them in the center of the living room. That's right, the reference is to television. Look over a typical neighborhood anywhere in the western world. What is the common feature in almost every home? That's right, a television. And the ...

The Psychology of Left Wing Violence and the Media Enablers.

Image
Updated, Sept. 2022 “ Civilization began the first time an angry person cast a word instead of a rock .”   Sigmund Freud Face it; all of us have fanaticized about doing something really evil to a person who has committed an injustice against us.   That is natural. However, in most cases it remains a thought only played out on a stage within our minds. It does not translate to action. And that is what allows us to survive as a civilization, the repression of our instinct to lash out in defense of ourselves or something we believe in. Yet it appears with all the incidents of left-wing zealots attacking conservative men, women and children, sometimes employing lethal means, that some people have transcended thought to deed. So what is responsible for this? Maybe the very institutions that are entrusted to safeguard our societal order in the first place – let’s call them the dam keepers. The traditional dam keepers in society are the family where we learn what i...

How the Sexual Revolution Revolutionized the Political Landscape of Today

Image
“The price of civilization is instinctive renunciation.”   Sigmund Freud  “Sexual freedom, sexual liberation. A modern delusion. We are hierarchical animals. Sweep one hierarchy away, and another one will take its place, perhaps less palatable than the first.”   Camille Paglia With the possible exception of television nothing influenced the course of society in the USA and Europe in modern times more than the birth control pill. Yep, it’s true. And its appearance on the market in the 1960s came at just the right time for those who desired radical changes in traditional society. These generally left-leaning intellectuals had recognized the power of sexuality to drive not just reproduction, but also people’s basic ideas on how society should be structured. So to understand where we are today we must look back on not just the “sexual liberation” of the Sexual Revolution, but also its deeper implications.  In a book I wrote a few years ago part of ...
