Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

The assumption that Men have bodily autonomy is HILARIOUS. Men can be forced into fatherhood, forced into 18 years of financial obligation, and even drafted to die all without consent. They have to pay their rapists child support, they have no access to birth control other than condoms, and they CAN NOT abandon a child if unwanted.

Women can access abortion, safe haven law, give up their parental rights to CFS, 10 different birth controls AND tubal ligation.

Let’s stop pretending this is one-sided.

@MichaelLeonhart Tease.

Parents have had it. Kindergartners should not be watching YouTube at school. In a few years, we're going to look back at school tablets and laptops and wonder what the heck we were thinking, especially for elementary school students. https://t.co/8jnyqHONvP

@reedgalen Will need a much bigger character limit.

"Super empath" isn't in the DSM. It's not in any peer-reviewed literature. Anywhere. Ever.
It's a marketing gimmick that keeps you consuming content instead of doing the work.
No punches pulled. (So cathartic).

You've been told your abuse only "counts" if your abuser is a narcissist.
That's not sound clinical thinking.
It's marketing lingo.

New video. 37 minutes.

"Narcissists act this way because of deep shame."
No. They act this way because it works.

The shame model keeps you empathizing with your abuser while they keep doing exactly what they've always done.

The narcissist doesn't just manipulate you. They recruit an audience.

Family. Friends. Therapists. Even your kids.

That's the flying monkeys dynamic and it's deliberate.

Four versions of every narcissist love triangle. Not two.

The narcissist's. The third party's. Yours. And what's actually happening.

Most experts only cover two. This video covers all four.

Have you been to the vet or animal hospital lately and faced an ASTRONOMICAL bill? That’s no accident. Corporations and private-equity funds have been buying up veterinary clinics at an alarming rate. When this happens, prices go up and quality of care goes down.

[shrink4men @shrink4men]

"What happened?"
"Was any of it real?"
"Why do I keep replaying it?"

If you've asked yourself any of these — this video is for you.

🎬 Why Narcissists ALWAYS Follow This Pattern

[shrink4men @shrink4men]

Ever notice how calmly stating facts turns into accusations, rage, or total derailment?

That’s not a communication problem.
It’s what happens when facts threaten control in high-conflict personalities.

Explained here:

The relationship is over.
But your ex still demands your time, attention, and availability.

That’s Standby Supply.
And it’s not about love. It's entitlement + access.

New video explains why narcissistic & borderline exes react badly when you move on.

[shrink4men @shrink4men]

Most videos explain what a narcissist means when they say “I miss you.”

This one asks the question they avoid:
Why does that sentence still have power over YOU?
🎥 https://t.co/qkdvLqyR3X

[shrink4men @shrink4men]

You left the narcissist / borderline.
So why don’t you actually feel better yet?

Because leaving stops the chaos — it doesn’t spontaneously heal you.

Most videos stop before the part that changes anything.
This one doesn’t.

Borderlines and narcissists don’t go to therapy to heal.
They go to manage perception.

In this video, I break down the manipulation tactics used on me as the therapist—how accountability gets reframed as abuse and victims get pathologized.

@MrStardust50 Bizarre.

[shrink4men @shrink4men]

Ever had a crazy ex suddenly “return your belongings” long past the breakup?

If you’ve ever gotten a bag of weird, random crap from an ex, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

It's not generosity or closure.
It's a F%ck You Bag.

This is the time of year when high-conflict partners become extra unhinged.

Are you ready?

Boundary up, buttercup!
