Narcissistic Psychopaths are Molding our Society w/ Richard Grannon

In this Episode: I chat with Richard Grannon about the concept of narcissistic psychopathy and its impact on power structures and society. He delves into the characteristics of narcissistic psychopaths, their delusional and power-hungry nature, and their ability to manipulate and control others. The discussion highlights the dangers of narcissistic psychopathy becoming the dominant influence in societal structures and the need for cynicism and resistance. It also touches on the role of fantasy and ideology in shaping society, using examples like Facebook as a platform influenced by the owner's pathology. The conversation emphasizes the need for systemic collapse and rebirth to address the pervasive influence of narcissistic psychopathy. We discuss the dynamics of being internalized by a cult leader and becoming a part of their system. Richard explains how individuals in a cult become mini-me’s, adopting the fragility, hypersensitivity, and narcissistic traits of the leader. We also get into the division and the manipulation of dividing lines by those in power. Richard emphasizes that the true dividing line in humanity is between humans and psychopaths, and that everything else is a distraction. He also discusses the creation of frames of reference by those in power and the limitations of our freedoms within those frames. We conclude our chat by exploring the idea of controlling our own fantasies and choosing healthier ones to navigate the abusive relationship with our culture.

    I was the children's director for a domestic abuse shelter requiring me to understand early childhood development. I've seen too many very small kids being warehouse in day care where the ratio was maybe 3 for 20 toddlers. I've seen too many small kids raised by cartoons. Now everyone wonders why we have Cartoon Adults with no social skills or values.

    Yup!! Being able to see people live like that, while having the ability to relieve the suffering and choosing not to, is indeed the height of Narcissistic Psychopathy in action. Lack of Empathy. When my ex watched me starving, beginning to exhibit the beginnings of the extreme physical symptoms- it was a horrid, 18 year long Narcissistically Abusive entanglement which was coming to an end during COVID, which I was awfully sick with, going on 16 months at the Timeand he kept leaving me alone for weeks at a time. Just take it on faith, please! At the point I'm talking about I'd dropped 30 lbs in the 2+weeks since he'd seen me last! I'm barely 5'. I was skinny!! He told me he wasn't getting me food. He didn't CARE!! I'M STILL TRYING TO CATCH My BREATH?!! Narcissists and Psychopaths do not care in a way I cannot relate to all to at all.

    I have thought these things he has but i've chalked it down to my anxiety, depression, and my very curious brain making me have existential thoughts because right after i just shake it off and forget about it, it doesn't mean it's always a good thing even though it may lead us to the right conclusions but not always. There's so many angles, sides, and things to it that need to be considered first before thinking it may be right, too much existential thoughts isn't a good thing because it coincides with major rumination. But i just don't believe the entire system has to collapse and for huge violence to be involved, i may have these thoughts when i'm feeling super frustrated and dysregulated because we humans are capable of anything yes it's a possibility, and yes in some way it will get violent it always does in a corrupt world because people are pushed in that direction, especially from those up top like they do to protestors and law enforcement is super corrupt these days. But a lot of hard work has been done to avoid wars happening so that it doesn't lead to another world war to ever happen again at least. Apart from what's happening in ukraine right now i guess it has turned into a bit of a proxy war, but if nobody does anything everyone would have a lot to answer for too, either way they will have stuff to answer for but at least they saved an entire country even if they do have their own agendas too that's usually how it goes in our world they usually do, and no doubt we'll see the consequences of that next too. So you have to consider the different elements and how it's all playing into each other to better come to the right conclusions rather than relying on existentialism, and yes we do need to be cynical about things to a point but not overly cynical, we just need to learn when and where we need to be cynical about things. Which sadly in our world we have to learn this over time and through experience by ourselves which also happens quite naturally a lot of the time from what we take in and observe but it's a good way to balance things with your innocence with logic, intuition, instinct, skepticism, and any cynicism. I've found what's mainly clouded my judgement is being surrounded by people preventing me from thinking like this, stopping me from growing, and gaining my faculties in the slytist so i can't think clearly at all so they can manipulate me however they want for their lame gains that they'll probably get screwed over for later lol even if they don't think so. After going through stuff about cult behaviors and narcissism over the last few weeks it's very clear these are the people that have always constantly targeted me and caused problems for me it all makes so much sense now. But i still couldn't be that cynical about things when what i've also seen that at points in the almost 35 years i've been in this physical existence is you could be surprised how the direction of things actually go. I mean the situation with nixivm that could have gone a whole other direction and he could have won against all of you and you would still be in it but that's not what happened you all played it right and you won and getting justice like that for most of us isn't heard of much. You just have to have faith somehow things will always work out and that you did no doubt you had faith that you could make it through that even when it seemed all was lost in the thick of it with how much he messed with your minds. Although yeah it's way too hard right now to get anywhere but we've got to hold onto as much of that innocence as possible because of how connected it is to our happiness, joy, playfulness, and spirituality. It's not our faults when we're treated in such horrific ways we're meant to have that innocence because it's also part of our nature and we aren't all that bad at all because some people have done some very amazing good things that really helped people.

When the othrr animals go back and check the rules on the wall, the rule now says no animal shall sleep in a mand bed....with sheets.

They were women or very feminine men, without exception. Meanwhile I just want to live my life in peace, but since that no longer seems to be an option, I figure I have to get power in order to counteract these idiots. But I also figured out that I should go into tech in order to get some actual power to do good.
