From an evolutionary perspective of survival, it seems to be stupid for mankind to maintain systems that are designed to propel the least evolved specimen of a social animal tribe to positions of power.
It's destructive in politics, corporations, families, institutions.
When DT & the sociopaths entered the scene, many of us who've exp the wrath of the 'path' before recognized the signs. What surprised me was that some psychologists started debating the label to put on it.
Most successful men have a wife.
Most successful women are single.
Most successful men tend to have a partner by their side.
Many successful women, on the other hand, are often single.
There’s a reason this pattern keeps showing up.
A lot of men are able to thrive because they have consistent emotional, logistical, or household support that frees them to focus on their goals.
Meanwhile, women who reach high levels of success are often expected to balance both their ambitions and traditional expectations at the same time.
That imbalance can become draining.
So some women choose peace over partnerships that feel more like added pressure than genuine support.
It’s not that successful women don’t want love.
They simply won’t settle for relationships that don’t align with the life they’ve worked so hard to build.
as an autistic person i feel like sometimes i have this sort of “whimsical innocence” that makes it feel like i can’t comprehend somebody being mean. like people doing hateful stuff just doesn't make sense, there's no logical reason for why somebody should be cruel. it puts me in logic loops that end up turning into full blown spiraling when someone actively chooses to be incredibly unkind
The fact that ‘pattern recognition’ is a common trait in neurodivergent people is interesting bc why is everybody else so comfortable ignoring things that are clearly right in front of them?
@Ryan_Daigler I just had such an experience again in a meeting with my manager and HR. When my manager realized he would get away with destroying my reputation with his lies, there was this smirk. There's always this evil smirk.
Men are often fine with the idea of intelligent women. What unsettles them is the real-time experience of being out-reasoned by one. When that happens, the response is rarely ‘she’s impressive’ and far more often:
moralising (bitter/fragile/angry)
sexualising (whore/frigid/slut)
racialising (you people/jewbrained)
psychologising (hysterical/broken/unwell)
gender policing (masculine/trans),
or credential-policing (not educated/experienced/qualified)
The Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM) is a manual used by mental health professionals for diagnosing mental and personality disorders.
Over the years there has been extensive criticism of the DSM and each of its different versions.
Based on my data, which is the most comprehensive and extensive study ever undertaken of all the fields of study examining people who actively violate social norms and harm and disadvantage others by conscious choice, it appears it is literally impossible to diagnose human predators from the DSM.
Rather, there are several different ways ‘prey’ may be attributed with some form of mental or personality disorder.
Prey are those who have been systematically abused, exploited, demeaned, disadvantage, harmed and terrorised by human predators.
The behaviours of prey are normal human reactions to substantial and extreme abuse or torture.
It appears, based on my research, that human predators cannot be recognised or held to account using the DSM while those who have been abused by human predators may instead be readily diagnosed with some sort of abnormality.
There are so many implications of this.
Vielleicht sind Multimillionäre doch zu wenig besteuert, wenn sie mehrere Millionen ausgeben können, um künstlich rechtsradikale Fake-News-Schleudern zu finanzieren, damit diese mit Hass und Lügen unsere Gesellschaft spalten.
I wasn’t naive enough to think Americans would care much about fascism but I wasn’t cynical enough to think they’d give this pifflingly little of a shit either
@sensorystories_ And then there's the sort of "help" that makes things worse.
Like e.g. the toxic boss who offers to "help" you out the door because you don't "fit in". HR departments offering "mediation" while you provided evidence of continuous mistreatment. "Help" that is abuse in disguise.
The autistic experience of being excellent at discerning vibes and feeling compelled to warn people when something feels off, all the while knowing your warnings are often not taken seriously - even though you have a strong track record.
Stop being so considerate in situations where you are not considered. Kindness is a gift, not an obligation. You'll be drained if you keep pouring into people who don't reciprocate. Protect your spirit and well-being. Redirect your warmth toward those who reflect it back to you.
What is a pathocracy? When an entire political party is taken over by pathologies like malignant narcissism, psychopathy and sociopathy, and it has become so normalized through media propaganda who propagate this pathology as “normalcy” which in turn encourages the normalcy of these behavior traits in the rest of the population who identifies with that political party, and then anyone who does not carry the pathology of malignant narcissism, sociopathy or psychopathy, is labeled “politically biased” and ostracized as a political enemy rather than recognizing that it’s not a difference of ideals that they are arguing, but a difference of pathology.
It’s when destructive dangerous pathologies use politics to validate their abusive pathology or personality disorder and ostracize normal healthy pathologies as being “politically biased“
