Transcribe →1509 Personality Disorders
May 400:03:55Tap to summarizeNow that over half of young women have or have had a clinically-diagnosed mental health issue, it’s important to know the acronyms of the most common ones. The first 4 are from “Cluster B,” characterized by dramatic, impulsive, self-destructive, emotional behavior and incomprehensible interactions with others. HPD Histrionic personality disorder is characterized by a pattern of excessive attention-seeking behaviors, usually beginning in adolescence or early adulthood, including inappropriate seduction and an excessive desire for approval. They are lively, dramatic, vivacious, enthusiastic, extroverted, and flirtatious. BPD Borderline personality disorder is characterized by a pervasive, long-term pattern of significant interpersonal relationship instability, an acute fear of abandonment, and intense emotional outbursts. They frequently exhibit self-harming behaviors and engage in risky activities, primarily due to challenges regulating their emotions. NPD Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by a life-long pattern of exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive need for admiration, and a diminished ability to empathize with other people's feelings. They are extremely Machiavellian in their attitudes, and are controlling and manipulative. APD Antisocial personality disorder is defined by a chronic pattern of behavior that disregards the rights and well-being of others. They exhibit behavior that conflicts with social norms, leading to issues with interpersonal relationships, employment, and legal matters. The condition generally manifests in childhood or early adolescence, with a high rate of associated conduct problems and a tendency for symptoms to peak in late adolescence and early adulthood. APD (from “Cluster C”) Avoidant, or anxious, personality disorder is characterized by excessive social anxiety and inhibition, fear of intimacy, severe feelings of inadequacy and inferiority, and an over-reliance on avoidance of feared stimuli as a coping method. They display a pattern of extreme sensitivity to negative evaluation and rejection, a belief that one is socially inept or personally unappealing to others, and avoidance of social interaction despite a strong desire for it. All of these personality disorders are relatively common. It can be entertaining to try and diagnose them yourself when confronted by someone who is afflicted.
Transcribe →1508 Saving Society
May 200:02:33Tap to summarizeSociety is currently failing, and even though our side, the patriarchy, is finally in the driver’s seat again, we haven’t won: the other side can publicly cheer on the assassination of our heroes with little or no accountability, and certainly no shame. When half of the population revels in the demise of the other half, that’s a sign of a society that is fundamentally ill. DEI is only halted for a while, and wokeness is one election from a full recovery. The matriarchy train is still going down the track and there are no U-turns ahead; it will soon go off a cliff. The solution is for every sane member of the patriarchy to convert at least 1 of the perversity people to come over to our side. Having tried to do that myself, it seems virtually impossible; people who derive their sense of self worth from demonizing other people, aren’t going to change their mind on facts alone. When a dog is misbehaving, it must be smacked down; simply talking to it isn’t going to change it’s learned behavior. Some people can do this with their voice alone but others need to add physical discomfort; taking away their access to a job, or education, or even a place to live, might change their minds. Let them experience cancel culture in reverse. When their arrogance is reduced to humility then it’s time to talk like mature adults. We all need a sense of urgency in this endeavor, and you have to keep thinking about it until you convert your 1 person, otherwise the cliff awaits...
Transcribe →1507 Everyone’s a Victim
Apr 3000:02:25Tap to summarizeEveryone thinks they’re a victim. It doesn’t matter what their position in life, whether or not they’re rich or poor, where they came from, what their religion is, what color they are, or how intelligent they may be. This is because everyone thinks they’re the center of the universe, and they can clearly see that they aren’t, that must mean somebody or something is working against them; hence victim. Self-aware people can cope with this realization but, nevertheless, they still think they’re a victim even if they accept it as sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you. The simple fact is, life is mostly a zero-sum gain, meaning that when one person “wins,” another, or many, lose. Yes, a raising tide lifts all ships so in that perspective, things can improve for everyone, but the blatant truth is, you’re going to be a loser in a lot more things than you win. If you’ve not been taught to accept that fact then a person’s natural inclination is to cast themselves as oppressed to someone else’s oppressor. We have an entire political party in America whose worldview is seen through the victim lens. Obviously, victimhood is psychological; two people in the exact same circumstances can see their role as diametric opposites. Since happiness comes from one interpretation while misery comes from the other, the choice of which to be is obvious.
Transcribe →1506 Oxytocin
Apr 2800:02:24Tap to summarizeNeurotransmitters in your brain determine how happy you are. In fact, your emotions can all be traced to one hormone or another. One of those is oxytocin, the so-called “love hormone” because it influences emotional bonding, trust, and social interactions. Though not as famous as its companions, dopamine & serotonin, proper amounts of oxytocin is essential for good mental health. Oxytocin is released by the pituitary gland during physical touch, sexual activity, and moments of affection. It’s linked to happiness because it reduces stress & anxiety, and promotes feelings of relaxation & stability. The obvious natural ways to boost oxytocin are activities like hugging, cuddling, holding hands, massage and even petting animals. Engaging in physical activities, such as high-intensity workouts, also elevate oxytocin. Less strenuously, listening to music and singing in groups can enhance oxytocin production, as can cooking together, playing games, having company or just performing acts of kindness. Low oxytocin levels lead to difficulties in bonding, increased anxiety, and challenges in breastfeeding. On a medical level, oxytocin is used to induce labor in pregnant women when it hasn't begun naturally, strengthening contractions & reducing postpartum bleeding.
Transcribe →1505 Altruism Isn’t Real
Apr 2600:02:51Tap to summarizeSupposedly, altruism is concern for the well-being of others. The word “altruism” has only been around less than 2 centuries, starting at the time of the French revolution, and since then it has expanded to include consideration for other sentient things, like animals, but even plants for some. In it’s idealistic state, altruism is when an individual performs an action at personal cost, pleasure, quality of life, time, probability of survival or reproduction, that benefits, directly or indirectly, another individual, without the expectation of reciprocity or compensation for that action. In practice, it goes further than that: it makes charity a moral obligation, even morphing into making it mandatory in collectivist cultures. However, the Theory of Psychological Egoism suggests that no act of sharing, helping or sacrificing is actually altruistic because the person receives an intrinsic reward in the form of personal gratification, and this is obviously true. People are driven by positive feedback, a dose of one of the neurotransmitters in the brain, usually dopamine, but there are others. Only the most basic of emotions are triggers, and altruism, the supposed motivation behind charity, isn't one of them. Then why do people get positive feedback from altruism? Actually, people do charity work for masochistic reasons, or as a desperate substitute for lack of achievements in their own life. There's also the sense of superiority that doing charity work brings which triggers the hormones. Altruism isn’t real, neurotransmitters are.
Transcribe →1504 Insult on Vanity
Apr 2400:02:54Tap to summarizeOf all the subconscious internal emotions & motivations that cause humans to do what they do, one of the biggest is vanity. Everyone’s vanity is that they are the center of the universe. How can it be any different? Even as a child, everything was about you, and though you may mature and recognize the needs of other people, your needs and pride still come first. But, of course, you are certain that you are more the center of the universe than most people, at least in your estimation. When someone else is obviously closer than you are, that is an insult on your vanity. In fact, it’s a twofer, triggering both our vanity and our envy. The more self-aware you are, the better you will be at corralling these emotions so that they don’t affect your happiness or contentment in life, but that’s all up to you. However, these triggers are reflected in others the same way they affect you, and for the same reasons. This obviously means, that when you do something noteworthy, you create a minefield of snubbed pride & vanity among your peers. You make enemies out of people who previously found you non-threatening and therefore worthy of honest camaraderie; they might even have cavorted with you socially before, maybe even considered you a work friend. That perception changes as the calculation changes; now it’s a zero-sum game: your gain is their loss, both materially and in their personal vanity. People don’t like to be insulted, and even if you didn’t intend it or even want it, you must be aware that it’s going to happen, and protect yourself accordingly. Act as if nothing has changed but know in your heart that it certainly did, and those who were once friends are now closeted enemies.
Transcribe →1503 Passive Aggression
Apr 2200:02:42Tap to summarizeThere are two different kinds of aggression, though only the masculine manifestation, violence & threats, is socially acceptable to point out, prevent & punish. Passive aggression, where the words & demeanor of the person exhibiting it, usually females, are non-threatening, but often just as effective in accomplishing the intent to get somebody else to comply with their will. Passive aggression is everywhere: in the way things are worded, body language, rules that apply disproportionately to different people, lack of courtesy, tardiness, making promises that aren’t intended to be kept, disingenuous debate, and a host of other subtle slights that don’t quite rise to the level of a response by those being disrespected, but intended to manipulate the person or make them angry. Passive aggression is almost impossible to counter because it’s usually tacitly supported by others in the peer group who feel the same way, who also get a rise in status & dominance at the expense of the victim. Some people are adept at countering passive aggression with passive aggression, but the best defensive tactic is to extract oneself from the situation, noting the perpetrator as untrustworthy, someone to remain cautious of during any further interaction. Unfortunately, separating from the situation is often impossible, so becoming aware of when it’s happening, and taking it as a warning to be suspicious of detrimental ulterior motives is all you can do.
Transcribe →1502 Women Place Themselves First
Apr 2000:03:23Tap to summarizeThe major indicator that feminism is a farce is that women don’t want to be drafted; men don’t either but they are. When confronted with this obvious hypocrisy, feminists snap into cognitive dissonance, meaning their logic & priorities are subverted to make illogical arguments supporting the unsupportable. In some case, the things they say would be laughable if they weren’t so tragic; for example, in 1998, Hillary Clinton claimed that it’s women who suffer the most in war because of the potential for upheaval and loss of husbands & sons. Anyone not a feminist is immediately appalled that anyone could make such a preposterous claim: that it’s not men who suffer the most in conflict. Women have absolutely no concept of when they’re talking about physical conflict, especially resulting in violence & death. Another sign of Hillary’s callous misunderstanding of war was when, as Secretary of State, she engineered the fall of Maummar Gaddafi, leading to him being sodomized and murdered. After hearing that, she laughed gleefully and pridefully exclaimed, “We came, we saw, he died. Cackle, cackle, cackle.” Hillary is not an aberration: many military-age women in war zones are completely unsympathetic to the plight of men. Consider the recent war in Ukraine: the primary concern of the single women there is that it’s them that suffer because there’s an extreme shortage of dateable men without war injuries. At the same time, they shame men who don’t go to war. One notable quote from an article bemoaning the situation was a woman who said if she can’t find a man that met her standards at the clubs, she might as well go to Vienna and drink a glass of wine. This is while she was in Kiev, and it was being nightly bombed. If this was a singular example, or if Hillary could be excused as a psychopath, that would be bad enough, but combined with other examples, it seems to be simply another aspect of the narcissism of women.
Transcribe →1501 Perversity Not Altruism
Apr 1800:02:40Tap to summarizePerversity is an unmentioned but primary component of human nature. It’s the major impetus of the Left, who hide behind a facade of altruism to mask their envy, resentment & malevolence; however, Charlie Kirk’s assassination put the Left’s schadenfreude on full display for all to see. The tens of thousands of people who reveled in his death publicly are dwarfed by the millions who secretly rejoiced. Perversity is part & parcel of socialism. Those who support it see government as their opportunity to spite the people who they consider as oppressors, mostly because throughout life, budding socialists were always the ones who came in the bottom half of a competition. Because socialism benefits the lower half of the population at the expense of the upper half, most advocates for stronger government, because it redistributes wealth, are socialists. Add to that, by and far, because people who work for government are making more money than their private sector counterparts with great healthcare & retirement, it makes them feel superior. It isn’t altruism they’re feeling towards the people they ostensibly are helping, it’s contempt. This comprehension of what the motivations of government workers actually are is obfuscated because if the truth were known, socialism would be illegal due to its treasonous underpinnings, and the people who support it exiled to Canada.
