What you wrote about the needs of psychopath is a path of evolution that relates a lot with the philosophy behind some things said at james true. We do evolve in adversity and it makes sens to pinpoint the problem as the dark part of something instead of the white part of it… while in fact both duality intertwining is sane and none in movement would be insane. The world needs pain when its population walks in vain.
When all this crap started in 2020, I actually googled what percentage of humanity were psychopaths because it was obvious that type was at the bottom (and I do mean bottom) of the contrived events. I was surprised at the relatively high %.
Yes ta this! Not so farfetched at all! Indeedy, I proposed givin' 'em all an off ramp--a sorta git outta jail free card--all they gotta do is STOP killin' us an' stuff--they git ta keep their castles in the sky--their Aston Martins, their Courvoisier. No hurtin' kiddies 'er eatin' 'em. It's kinda like Jeopardy!-- Stop while yer "ahead" (a head for the transhumans amongst 'em!)--take the money. Go home--ya already "made a killin' " as they say...
I agree, revenge is kinda counter productive an' a waste of good energy towards bad. Nuremberg 1.0 wuz a joke (nope, I ain't laffin' but given that most of the Nazi's were imported here an' treated like local royalty it don't say much for Nuremberg) So to have a Staged Meaningless Event Con 2.0 ain't too appealin'. One thing--I'm for the cathartic "imagining" that justice is done. We envision Dr Fraudski bein' spread with liverwurst an' eaten by wild dogs (revenge fer what he did ta those pupplies!)--that's might cathartic! Then we let the bass-turd retire ta an undeserved well-paid professorship (as he's doin' now) an' he's just gotta sign off on retirin' (for good) an' ta stop bein' a MKUltra programmer (sheesh!). An' so it could go ;-) -- I guess bein' glib I might say that revenge is sweet but sweets are turrible fer yer consty-2-shun!
Glad yer feelin' good--let's hope we git far enuf ta let 'em off that exist ramp!
Speaking of Fauci, looks like some reckoning coming his way with the choteas Jonás hearings on the damning emails form his closes associate… I wonder if it’s all gonna be another circus or they’ll actually hold his feet to the fire… this puppies 😢
I’ll read the link! Thanks, Daisy! And for the kind wishes too! 🤗
Mebbe so--wull if it comes I wouldn't fight it but like you--I think we need ta let go the revenge scenario except in our minds--it's also part of the hopium I feel is unhelpful. Ah, holdin' his feet ta the fire (literally knowin' what I do 'bout this foul human) would be poetic justice--but frankly he kin go off to his estate in Connecticut if he'll just STOP (right?!) an' keep his evil hands off puppies, children (re the AIDS experiments) an' the entire American populace... (OK, one more wish--they take away his Adrenochrome--it's evil stuff AND it's unnatural that this man of 80 looks frickin' 60--WTF?)
I know!--havin' a couple young'uns myself (one still in high-skool albeit homeschool high) I'm tryin' ta navigate all this stuff--mostly they don't know the worst of it (but I try ta keep on top of stuff)--BUT they do know about traffickin' which is "beyond" stranger danger--i'm tellin' 'em at parties (even cast parties for shows) they gotta cover their drinks (I mean seltzer! iced tea! coffee!--they don't "drink" but any liquid is a potential risk) an' not set ANYTHING down... For boys ya gotta little more leeway--not all that much tho'-- I'm tellin' 'em that if someone at a party is "tokin'" (they've not yet encountered this but they could...) then it could be lace with sumthin' way worse than pot so they gotta avoid even 2nd hand smoke--i.e. git to fresh air. I never THOUGHT this would be a thang. yers are younger so ya got TIME on yer side too! (like the Stones song!) -- but I've started to gently let'em in on some things that'll apply to their own safety--an' this from an always-until-now city gal who thought she'd seen EVERYTHING! (oh my!)
Oh mine have already encountered it. They said that some of the kids in their choir already vape (13!) but I feel like as long as my kids are talking about it, they’re not actually doing it and hiding it? They talk about it critically. They think it’s gross. But we have to be diligent.
eek--at 13?! good golly--that's young--not even in highskool-- at least they know it's gross--not ta mention toxic too--yup, we gotta be diligent (eyes in front AND in back of our heads!)--I worry less 'bout what they can "see" vs what they cain't (like bein' slipped a mickey!)
"No amount of beheaded torsos stumbling around Hades looking for their noggins has stopped psychopaths from emerging." to "It’s time to starve it out. Once we acknowledge the abuse, and recognize the atrocities, and dethrone those in power, and exit the alters upon which we sacrificed, let’s refuse to participate in the ritualistic lynchings of the predators." and full-circle meaning to "Psychopaths are the symptoms of our collective dark shadow mind virus which can only be cleared and healed by bringing in the light at the root of the darkness."
I had to breathe a deep sigh of release to read this, Tonika. It's like an ecosystem where predators are needed. Perhaps parasites not so much--but the answer to the latter is certainly to starve them out. A similar philosophy to cancer? Don't fight the body, feed its defenses.
You speak to my heart, Tonika. Go to the root, a word that radical comes from, and shine light on it. Heal the soil from whence it sprangs ;-) The plant has the strength and knowledge to heal itself.
> Crimes have been made. Punishments are coming. How else can we make sure this never ever happens again?
REPLY: Opensource every aspect of development of any mass application of medicine. Remove the profit motive. Publish the entire ingredient list and manufacturing process in detail. So knowledgeable eyes and minds can help shine the light on the process and correct mistakes. Not hide them.
Wow, your video is incredible and haunting. I LOVE the idea that psychopaths, just like the challenges that occur throughout each of our lives, are there for our (in this case, collective) learning.
Thank you, CM. 🙏 I suppose it must kinda suck to be a psychopath, to not understand pure joy or to give or receive love. What a terrible waste of an existence.
> Surely, in order to achieve some semblance of balance, we need to eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth.
REPLY: Actually bankrupt them and the companies where they were CEOs CFOs etc. The companies that profited from the destruction life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Including all those investment companies that profited from the intentional destruction of human life. Then they can hang out with the homeless. It gives them time to experience and reflect on the lives of people who eke out a living everyday.
That is the best solution. They can hang out with the homeless, or become the new homeless. We can use the confiscated funds to help the existing homeless.
I always think of the Chinese proverb 'before setting out on revenge, first dig two graves'. We need to hold on to our humanity and be better than them.
😀 that was rhetorical but I’m so glad you answered with solutions! I was thinking along the lines of reparations or community service that would have to done to actively repair the damage done. It won’t bring back lives, but they can be of service for sure.
Psychopaths DO perform a valuable service at this level of our evolution. You say it so well here: "Psychopaths are the symptoms of our collective dark shadow mind virus which can only be cleared and healed by bringing in the light at the root of the darkness." Amen to that, and to not getting sucked into the revenge mindset. My dad used to say "don't get mad, get even," which sure didn't serve him well as a life philosophy.
And your video... yeesh, I couldn't watch some of the imagery, but holy s***, the poem totally worked for me -- and probably induced far more creepy images in my own mind. 🙄😂
Oh god, how I love that poem. Pretty sure that was the one I thought we should turn into a song. I just wanna do something to amplify all your poetry. I’ve come back around to one of the projects we started. I apologize about the delay. I can’t even use cancer as an excuse. I’ve been gardening and hanging with the kids, but now that some paid work is forcing me to spend time on the computer, you know I’m gonna distract myself from doing actual work by immersing myself in these creative projects again. 😆
Thanks for your kind words. I really appreciate the artistic lift up. Let the theatre nerdom reign supreme!
You wanted me to perform it but I was too freaked out, as I recall 😅. Thank God I'm over that now!
No apologies, please! It will come together when the time is right. Though I'd be lying if I didn't admit that publishing it on/near July 4 would be cool ...😎
See how I did that? Applied pressure while pretending to free you from any obligation? I'm impossible 🙄
It shall be done! The pressure was self imposed with an earlier deadline. Yours is a gentle “take your time” pat on the back. And then we can move on with you doing that poem. See how I gently tapped that tennis ball back in your court? 🤣
"Psychopaths are the symptoms of our collective dark shadow mind virus which can only be cleared and healed by bringing in the light at the root of the darkness."
Revenge seems like such a waste of energy to me. And most definitely an impediment to our own healing. I've stepped away from so many newsletters these days. I'd rather wander in the woods and listen to the Mourning Doves. 🕊️🕊️XO
A wonderful piece of writing, resonating with me on a very personal level at the moment. Locked in that dance and conditioned to take the blame on myself. Choosing to be aware of what lessons are meant for me. How did I wake up to the global issues before the family issues? How did I wake up to the medical issues before the ones on my very doorstep? Fascinating times, painful times, joyous times, creatives times, sorrowful times.... all learning times. ❤🙏
My friend, this post is a huge portion of food for thought. I will divide it up and eat it over several days.
Where I land in this meal, I cannot say just now, but will definitely eat and digest. Great writing as always, and always impressed with your vocabulary, and really down to earth self inspection and acceptance. So glad that I know you and can count you as a friend.
Will let you know where i am at on this once it is fully digested and processed.
While I would enthusiastically agree that we need not fill stadiums with transgressors responsible for pushing the false narrative and becoming part of the mob, there are perhaps from a dozen to 300-400 people who provably forced this poison on masses of people for power and profit, who should certainly be prosecuted. This was the biggest crime against humanity & the largest involuntary transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to the super-wealthy in world history, with genetic damages and ongoing deaths and disabilities continuing to rise for perhaps the next generation, maybe more. And we now know that a certain number of them KNEW how toxic these shots were and withheld that information from the public. Those who were responsible for knowingly doing this medical and economic damage to billions of people need to be served justice. I agree that Nuremburg was not enough, so we don't need Nuremburg II, we need to do better for the sake of humanity. The culprits are still doing this - they are still funding labs playing God with "Gain of Function" research, which will soon wipe out humanity if we don't stop them. It's not about revenge, it's about justice and survival.
I think the answer is to do what needs doing without the sense of relish or enjoyment. Think of a child about to put their hand on a hot stove. Force and restraint are employed out of care not hate.
They must be punished and removed but NOT out of toxic ‘enjoyment’.
To kill one of my sick chickens is actually a sad and painful experience but it MUST be done.
Exactly. This is why prosecutions are necessary. It's clear that some very serious crimes have been committed against billions of innocent people. The people who perpetrated these crimes thus far have been richly rewarded for their monstrous acts, and this must change if we are to survive as a species.
I agree that we should apply justice and we shouldn’t stop our diligence. What I fear is that we’ll satiate our thirst for making a few people “pay for their mistakes” and never actually solve our issues so another tyrant will come along with even more insidious intentions.
Agreed on your points about the crimes against humanity you listed above. It took this giant of a transgression to wake me up. I wish I could say I saw through previous transgressions as well, but I sort of thought it didn’t effect me so why dig in. It all affects us. Every single lie we’re told.
Thank you for communicating a very important concept. Human nature is a tricky thing, we can only hope that we learn from all this ugly psychopathy and avoid becoming psychopaths ourselves. Strive not to blame, but strive to find solutions and improvements.
My posts are intended to get my readers to think and question what I write. {smile}
It's educational for me. Recently one reader pointed me to a theory that fossil fuels aren't all from fossils! (there may be more oil deep in the Earth than we realize). Also an inquiry led me to dig deeper into Mussolini and Fascism so I may write an article on that as once again it looks like we can't trust "common knowledge" that is posted on the Internet. I'm glad I have my own personal extensive library of book. (although moving them all to South Dakota is a pain in the ass!)
Yes! I've learned so much from my readers, too -- including the possible fossil fuel "hoax." At first it was disorienting and vaguely depressing, but now I'm energized by the iffyness of it all 🤓!
To be fair, for us ex- liberals, the climate change fiasco was the last hill we climbed off of because it seems so real and so well intentioned. And it’s confusing too, because we clearly aren’t treating Gaia well and corporations can clearly do better in the way they treat the environment. It’s so smart how they weaponize our empathy.
Been thinking along similar lines for a while, and including a Jungian perspective in the analysis. One reason why it's unpopular is because there's nobody to blame. If what we're seeing in the external world are projections of archetypal forms, a theory supported by modern physics, then, as is said in an oft-used monologue, if you're looking for someone to blame, truth be told you need only look in a mirror. So in that respect I agree that the most recent in-yer-face predation is a good trigger to really ponder what's really going on...in the same way as their messing with human DNA presents the perfect opportunity and need for examining just what DNA really is, does and can do.
Nice to see you back on the grid, T. Didn´t get very far into your video though. Not sure why but I feel unsettled with pictures and almost nauseated with videos produced by generative AI, definitely a visceral experience though. What I think about its use is on the list of things to contemplate.
Handy link to political ponerology perspectives too (couldn´t resist it), nice one.
Thanks, Tavvy. I hear ya on the nauseating AI feeling. Hahahahaha. I wonder if you’ve taken a look at Sora and how indistinguishable from real cinema it is. We’re entering a whole new era. I don’t have access to Sora, but I do want to play with it. Perhaps if for nothing else than to dispel its power and fear of reality-bending.
Speaking of archetypes, I think maybe we’re in a transition of which archetypes are in the lead. Perhaps we’re moving away from the hero and warrior types to the sages and wise kings? I’ve read an article about that recently and it makes sense that as we evolve, our species will look for ways to abandon control and overcoming as a way of existing. That cooperation and co-creation will be the new driving forces. I surely hope so. I’m ready for that.
I’m glad you appreciated the Political Ponerology link. It’s a free .pdf I’ve sent to many people because it was a game changer for how I look at psychopathy. I hope others download it and read it.
Not seen Sora output, and not really interested. Analyzing my Luddite response to it is on my list of things to do.
Interesting thought re archetype transitioning. Any chance of a pointer to what you´d been reading?
My comment re the political ponerology link was made before looking at it and just glad to see information on it being shared. But then I looked and found Lobazewski's book, which sits on the shelf next to several of Arendt's, part of a search started many moons ago. It was an eye-opener for me too.
Nine years ago I was introduced to the idea of narcissism/psychopathy and it saved my life. I had no idea how sick and twisted people could be - especially those whom I was intimately involved with. I was walking around with my head in the clouds thinking my fate was to appease and please difficult people b/c this was my indoctrination. How many of those among us, who are going along with the psychopaths, were groomed for days of now? Seems to be the majority. As painful as my experience was, it set me up to actually SEE and accept WTH is happening. I've tried to open the eyes of many but if you don't want to see you will stay blind. I've learned to accept this, as gut wrenching as it is, because otherwise I would have gone mad. And perhaps that is the point? To drive everyone mad. Thank you for writing this article.
For me it was 12 years ago. A game changer. And like you, I have been unsuccessful in helping others see. Covid brainwashing is nothing compared to psychopath-friendly brainwashing. The "I am ok you are ok" meme has done a vast amount of damage.
I’m guessing you’re an empath. As Rev. Katie says in a comment above, the empath and the psychopath are like “magnets locked together in a shadow dance.” Yes, your painful tango did teach you how to see through it and with each brush with psychopathy you learn how to navigate it better adding to the collective wisdom of handling these members of society that selfishly take more than others, manipulate and eliminate to suit their needs, disregard and disrupt equilibriums. The flush is coming.
Not so much a shadow dance as a predator prey relationship.
What you feed will grow. As long as we feed the psychopaths, they will thrive.
Remember the eco feedback loop? The more voles, the more owls. The more owls, the fewer voles. The fewer voles, the less owls. The less owls, the more voles. Round and round it goes.
What choices do the voles have? When they diminish, the owls will diminish -- it's pre-programmed. But they are also under pressure to evolve -- their other option is to get wilier, better at being voles, so the owls have a tougher time of it.
We live at a time when the Ps are overbreeding, and we the sane are diminishing. Time to evolve, yes! Time to learn to evade the predators far better than before. Recognize them for what they are. Deny them their feed. It's really up to us.
What you wrote about the needs of psychopath is a path of evolution that relates a lot with the philosophy behind some things said at james true. We do evolve in adversity and it makes sens to pinpoint the problem as the dark part of something instead of the white part of it… while in fact both duality intertwining is sane and none in movement would be insane. The world needs pain when its population walks in vain.
So well said! Thank you!

It’s pretty high. But most of them are garden variety psychopaths, lacking the IQ necessary for true diabolical utility.
Yes ta this! Not so farfetched at all! Indeedy, I proposed givin' 'em all an off ramp--a sorta git outta jail free card--all they gotta do is STOP killin' us an' stuff--they git ta keep their castles in the sky--their Aston Martins, their Courvoisier.

While I would enthusiastically agree that we need not fill stadiums with transgressors responsible for pushing the false narrative and becoming part of the mob, there are perhaps from a dozen to 300-400 people who provably forced this poison on masses of people for power and profit, who should certainly be prosecuted.

If you want a good glimpse of just how serious our situation is, listen to this interview. We've been the frog in the pot and the water is starting to boil. https://rumble.com/v4y0l1b-jeffrey-sachs-the-untold-history-of-the-cold-war-cia-coups-around-the-world.html
Simple. Don’t “hate” the “other side.”
The minute hate is activated in us, we become part of the problem.
Amazingly creative video!
Thank you for communicating a very important concept. Human nature is a tricky thing, we can only hope that we learn from all this ugly psychopathy and avoid becoming psychopaths ourselves. Strive not to blame, but strive to find solutions and improvements.
That’s why I appreciate your stack, John! Full of practical tips and solutions that are easy to understand. 🙏
I'm not so sure they are all so easy to understand. Sometimes I confuse myself! {grin}
If that happens, you have some smart readers who post questions. 🙌 that’s why the community forming aspect of Substack is cool.
My posts are intended to get my readers to think and question what I write. {smile}
It's educational for me. Recently one reader pointed me to a theory that fossil fuels aren't all from fossils! (there may be more oil deep in the Earth than we realize). Also an inquiry led me to dig deeper into Mussolini and Fascism so I may write an article on that as once again it looks like we can't trust "common knowledge" that is posted on the Internet. I'm glad I have my own personal extensive library of book. (although moving them all to South Dakota is a pain in the ass!)
Yes! I've learned so much from my readers, too -- including the possible fossil fuel "hoax." At first it was disorienting and vaguely depressing, but now I'm energized by the iffyness of it all 🤓!
To be fair, for us ex- liberals, the climate change fiasco was the last hill we climbed off of because it seems so real and so well intentioned. And it’s confusing too, because we clearly aren’t treating Gaia well and corporations can clearly do better in the way they treat the environment. It’s so smart how they weaponize our empathy.
Luckily I enjoy researching. So it's enjoyable to pursue alternative ideas.
Been thinking along similar lines for a while, and including a Jungian perspective in the analysis. One reason why it's unpopular is because there's nobody to blame. If what we're seeing in the external world are projections of archetypal forms, a theory supported by modern physics, then, as is said in an oft-used monologue, if you're looking for someone to blame, truth be told you need only look in a mirror. So in that respect I agree that the most recent in-yer-face predation is a good trigger to really ponder what's really going on...in the same way as their messing with human DNA presents the perfect opportunity and need for examining just what DNA really is, does and can do.
Nice to see you back on the grid, T. Didn´t get very far into your video though. Not sure why but I feel unsettled with pictures and almost nauseated with videos produced by generative AI, definitely a visceral experience though. What I think about its use is on the list of things to contemplate.
Handy link to political ponerology perspectives too (couldn´t resist it), nice one.
Thanks, Tavvy. I hear ya on the nauseating AI feeling. Hahahahaha. I wonder if you’ve taken a look at Sora and how indistinguishable from real cinema it is. We’re entering a whole new era. I don’t have access to Sora, but I do want to play with it. Perhaps if for nothing else than to dispel its power and fear of reality-bending.
Speaking of archetypes, I think maybe we’re in a transition of which archetypes are in the lead. Perhaps we’re moving away from the hero and warrior types to the sages and wise kings? I’ve read an article about that recently and it makes sense that as we evolve, our species will look for ways to abandon control and overcoming as a way of existing. That cooperation and co-creation will be the new driving forces. I surely hope so. I’m ready for that.
I’m glad you appreciated the Political Ponerology link. It’s a free .pdf I’ve sent to many people because it was a game changer for how I look at psychopathy. I hope others download it and read it.
Not seen Sora output, and not really interested. Analyzing my Luddite response to it is on my list of things to do.
Interesting thought re archetype transitioning. Any chance of a pointer to what you´d been reading?
My comment re the political ponerology link was made before looking at it and just glad to see information on it being shared. But then I looked and found Lobazewski's book, which sits on the shelf next to several of Arendt's, part of a search started many moons ago. It was an eye-opener for me too.
Nine years ago I was introduced to the idea of narcissism/psychopathy and it saved my life. I had no idea how sick and twisted people could be - especially those whom I was intimately involved with. I was walking around with my head in the clouds thinking my fate was to appease and please difficult people b/c this was my indoctrination. How many of those among us, who are going along with the psychopaths, were groomed for days of now? Seems to be the majority. As painful as my experience was, it set me up to actually SEE and accept WTH is happening. I've tried to open the eyes of many but if you don't want to see you will stay blind. I've learned to accept this, as gut wrenching as it is, because otherwise I would have gone mad. And perhaps that is the point? To drive everyone mad. Thank you for writing this article.
For me it was 12 years ago. A game changer. And like you, I have been unsuccessful in helping others see. Covid brainwashing is nothing compared to psychopath-friendly brainwashing. The "I am ok you are ok" meme has done a vast amount of damage.
Thank you for reading it.
I’m guessing you’re an empath. As Rev. Katie says in a comment above, the empath and the psychopath are like “magnets locked together in a shadow dance.” Yes, your painful tango did teach you how to see through it and with each brush with psychopathy you learn how to navigate it better adding to the collective wisdom of handling these members of society that selfishly take more than others, manipulate and eliminate to suit their needs, disregard and disrupt equilibriums. The flush is coming.
Not so much a shadow dance as a predator prey relationship.
What you feed will grow. As long as we feed the psychopaths, they will thrive.
Remember the eco feedback loop? The more voles, the more owls. The more owls, the fewer voles. The fewer voles, the less owls. The less owls, the more voles. Round and round it goes.
What choices do the voles have? When they diminish, the owls will diminish -- it's pre-programmed. But they are also under pressure to evolve -- their other option is to get wilier, better at being voles, so the owls have a tougher time of it.
We live at a time when the Ps are overbreeding, and we the sane are diminishing. Time to evolve, yes! Time to learn to evade the predators far better than before. Recognize them for what they are. Deny them their feed. It's really up to us.
Deny them their feed! Exactly this! The less attention the more they wilt and waste away.
Mmmm... hmmmm... insanity that never ends unless you opt out. I truly hope there's a massive opt out sooner than later. Let the flush rush in!
I hope we all 💩 out little pieces of Bill Gates
😂
