Ive listened to all your music, huge fan. But this is an amazingly pleasant surprise. Thanks for this, its almost as cool as hand feeding birds.
It's true! I've been subscribed since the beginning. And the only reason I see your videos show up is if I use the subs only tab. I have to look for it.
Surprised to see you talk about this here. I myself was red pilled around 3-4 years ago when my girlfriend left me and I couldn't understand why. I thought I did everything correctly. I personally recommend these books (available as audiobooks) for those only just awakening to true female nature now 1) No More Mr. Nice Guy 2) The Rational Male Ewan, I wonder if you have read these books yourself?
Are you that one guy in the straw hat with the guitar?
the vibe here feels like somebody lifted up an old pumpkin sized rock and saw a bunch of exotic types of insects that were thought long extinct. lol
have you been hacked ?
Never thought you would be back. Your old podcasts were always the best and really thought-provoking.
Now it is time for your own return. Hoca and the pen15 man have both reappeared. We are destined for white boi summer 2024
Have you considered the possibility that you could want love with, "the one" because you do have and understand what it is and hope to share that feeling with someone you feel is compatible with you?.. in, like, a loop?
I used to, but this is IMO an illusion of romantic culture and you can literally believe that about anyone you are with when the bond in the body is achieved. "The one" is kind of like a religious value of romantic culture. It becomes a never ending ad hoc set of reasons why "it seemed so, but wasn't," and then, "they are coming right around the corner, just have to wait." I have met men in their 70s, who still are waiting for their soul mate to show up(they are likely to die hoping "the one" will show up). If one believes in a religion, whether it be a cultural set of assumed beliefs, or a belief in a deity, the mind can forever ad hoc any reason necessary to keep it going despite lived evidence to the contrary. As well, we keep the belief going regarding women and love because we don't want people around us to shame us for stopping believing in it. It is the holy grail of the system. "The one" is in some ways, a Christ salvation in the form of female approval, a mythic entity that regardless of whether it shows up or not, is always believed to be "on the way," or, some people try to take the aggressive approach, and simply say "they have it," that is until it's not, then ad hoc proceeds from there. It is a religious belief, a cultural religious myth.
Will send Monero if you reupload the old episodes with Herbert
Some of those are a bit too hardcore for the channel, and might lead to strikes/warnings. I can go through them, and listen for key clips and string them together, but they would have to be edited.
@@EwandobsonI can donate as well. Those podcasts were the most thought-provoking in the whole sphere.
@@Ewandobson What if you reuploaded them to the Odysee channel?
Keep these coming! Pun maybe intended.
I'm glad you're interested in this topic. I feel like I should leave a comment. Pardon my english. 😅 Let's use this example: A few years ago, I was working a lot, had some money, had some good looking muscles, and was able to attract a nice looking girl. So let's say I decide to take this forward to the next step, how am I going to have the edge over a female, if daddy government is ready to arrest me and even end me, if I say that, if she has a child of mine, she won't be allowed to leave? Because that's what they're going to do. You know this. It's their test to see if you're a manly man, or a shit man that she's going to walk over and get resources from without providing you anything, making you a slave, right? This is why they stay with abusers, of course. I've seen this. The only way forward is to be powerful. Because daddy government will f u up. It's the easy way out for women. You either live a simple life, and take whatever blessing has fallen over you from the sky, or you go conquer things. This is why I never complained anymore after my spiritual awakening. Maybe I'm crazy but that's how I see it. I know they are not examples of good people, and without naming any names, look at some elite families and their story. These guys were and still are a menace. I'm certain they have no problem controlling a bad female. Now if you find a good one, God bless.
Good Day, I agree with most of the things you have said, I have made my mistakes with woman on believing the 'nice guy' role etc, and has forever altered my life. That being said I have learned a lot from it, and have found a number of solutions. I now have a great life with a great woman and I hope what I have to say makes a slight impact. 1 - The Mask: Everyone wears the visage of a great person and communicator when they start out, the question is what do you do about it. Here are a few of my answers for breaking the visage, or at least identifying if the woman you are with is a terrible person. And this also goes both ways. (a) Identify how she treats others when you eat out, identify how she talks to her friends, identify how her friends talk about other people, pay attention to how she drives. All these small indicators on other people are indicators on how she will treat you once she feels secure. (b) Find out what she cares about most, and learn everything you can about the subject. Debate her, and win. What you are looking for is how the discussion is going, if she starts yelling or getting angry its not worth the trouble. If you find yourself getting angry, pay attention to this about yourself as to why you are getting angry, maybe now isn't the right time for dating if this is the case. (c) Listen to you're friends and family, a good friend or family will be honest with you and will want the best for you. 2: The shit test: The old example of you order what you want fries, steak; and she orders a soup and salad. This test never stops, even in a solid relationship and this is why its important to have a sharp mind and have respect. I believe the reason woman do this is to control teenagers when they get older, and trust me teenage girls in particular will give you plenty of shit tests and its important to win every one of them. (a) Deal with the small fights first, don't allow jabs and call them out. This doesn't mean start yelling at every moment, but if you say nothing you will lose respect and gain resentment. For every small issue you let slide, is a small issue that needs to be discussed later. Overtime you will have issues to deal with, do you want them to be dozens, hundreds, or thousands? And will she respect you if there are thousands. (b) Failure to deal with the shit tests and identify them, will have the woman holding all the power over you. You can never allow this to happen, and if you are currently in a situation where you are in a place where you don't want to be. You need to start standing firm on how you want to be treated, and what you think is correct or not. Silence is also a lie itself, when you have something to say. 3: Everything is a negotiation, learn to negotiate, and what a negotiation is. (a)In any negotiation you have something you want, they have something they want, and at the same time you need to have the ability to either say no; or have the confidence to walk away entirely. (b) If you are looking to negotiate you need to be VERY clear with yourself what it is EXACTLY what you want. And even if you are in a great relationship or starting out this is a good idea. How do you expect things to get better if you never talk about what you want? And how do you expect your partner to help you get what you want if they don't know. (c) Know what and where your redlines are, negotiate HOW you will communicate with each other. And lay the terms out before hand. 4: Be Strong (a) No matter what you're state in life is, start doing push ups or sit ups even if its in the seat of your wheelchair. (b) have a fucking opinion, and have it SOLID. A woman will push shit tests on you mentally, and if you are not prepared for it you will lose and lose respect. If you're a liberal start talking to conservatives, if your a conservative start talking to classical liberals (not the left progressives, they aren't people) The reality is, having an opinion is a sign of strength even if you are wrong. You will learn the roots of where both sides come from if you dig deep enough, be sure to listen and not just yap. 5: Find your own passion and goals and run with it. There are a lot of reasons relationships are failing, everything Ewan said is true. I hope this helps someone, I have went from having the worst life to having the best life.
I have a really hard time relating to a lot of things being said in this podcast. Likely because I'm Swedish and this is a conversation from the perspective of an American cultural system. When I was in my 30s I kind of checked out of society. I sterilized myself, paid off my tiny studio apartment and now I am debt free with total expenses of ~500$/month (incl. food and upkeep). I generally only work for 6months once every 3 years (because I don't need a lot of money for my simple lifestyle. Heck, I even live below the poverty line here... willingly and happily. The less stuff I have and the less I rely on money, the happier I become). despite this, I have found a partner, and we're still happily together after 12 years. We both tread lightly here on earth, share the same core values. Valuing authenticity, a love for nature and animals, as well as a deep connection and care for one another. During our time together, women have been curious of me, perhaps even romantically interested (despite my very odd life choices). I never felt like I ever needed to impress anyone, just being authentic, respectful and free thinking seems to do the trick really. And women don't seem to be particularly impressed by money or status the same way it seems like in America. I guess we just live in a more equal society, where there isn't as much opposition all of the time. :) With that being said, I enjoyed the podcast, and I am always curious about people's thoughts and ideas.
There is indeed, in the US at least, a foundation or "platform" in a literal sense, for the vast majority of the gender- and reproduction-based social engineering which Ewan has touched on. It is partly caused by the unmitigated access young children have to social media and advertising schemes which are heavily regulated in most of the world. It is the result of enterprising sex and status for decades, whilst education and child development have stagnated or regressed. I personally do not know how women around my age would be made aware of critical facts about society, nature, and politics, given that women are generally excluded by way of our programming from de facto forums that revolve around the academic exercise of discovering what society has been engineered into being - and then comparing to other nations, it becomes ever more clear that the "game is rigged" based on the degree of societal, religious, or political oppression imposed upon individuals and individualist-views. Naturally, processing this alongside others may have been to many people's detriment, and radical movements based on the concept of the "red-pill" or "black-pill" have attempted to champion some sort of reformist push in favor of granting men yet more responsibility in society, rather than anything in comprehension of the original point; Anyways, this seems to necessitate a blend of sociology, psychology, history, and classical rhetoric, on top of a lot of writing/reading/speaking experience, in order to dive into without self-destructing. It is a challenging subject matter, and as such, finding peers to discuss it with is unnatural, especially when it is most manifest and obvious to those in the US, who willingly hand off the responsibility of raising children to the internet, and have done so for at least a decade or two, with increasing popularity, particularly in highly-engineered metro locales, left-leaning.
This podcast tied a lot of things together for me--kinda gelled the stuff you've been writing in community posts lately. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on all this stuff, and for your insight. And thanks for being honest in the expression of your feelings in this regard as well. I appreciate that a lot. You know, there's been a number of times in my life where I found myself wishing I'd never found out what an artist I like looks like, or heard them in interviews or whatever talking about whatever. Many times I'm like, "dammit... this guy is a friggin dillhole" - and I can't help but feel that knowing this about them will diminish my enjoyment of their music. But even still, it's like I often say, "I'd rather know the truth and see that it is ugly, than keep believing in some untruth because it happens to be pretty." Thankfully, this is not one of those times. You've opened up, shared your personal outlook on life... and I've listened to what you had to say. Now, I don't just like your music, I like who you are as a person. Yay..
To be fair and honest, I feared the same thing going into this, yet it never felt that way at all. He didn't say anything I felt was incorrect when it comes to the history and subtext around the topic. His take is very understandable, and I wish there was more discussion on a variety of what he has brought up. I'll integrate it into my own rhetoric, in some capacity, to help encourage just that.
This sums up the last six years of my life rather accurately, 33 to 39. Interesting view
Я очень уважаю вас, мы сегодня вечером слушали вашу игру на гитаре, Мы очень любим вас... Я желаю вам здоровья,я желаю вам исполнения мечты !!!
Great video, could you dedicate a podcast on your thoughts on antinatalism/efilism?
Pretty sure Ewan got hacked
His recent post talked about the bullshit algorithm, and how he'd need to create dogshit to cater to it. I believe this is his experiment to prove that argument. Hence the shirt
Takes balls to tell it like it is. One of the most depressing things I have heard in my 41 years was a homie from work saying "I just need a woman around to make me a better, more accountable man". I told him that's at odds with all human history, but I accept ya. He's obviously well trained at lack of self actualization and willing to be disposed of. What a pity, modernity
didint know we had the same mind view of our society make me apreciate you a bit more knowing more about your stance on the world
I'm not in much disagreement with the premise or the supporting evidence and rationale. Fortunately, confronting and overcoming the "veil coming off" was no big deal for me, and that the "social abnormalities" applied to me were rooted in something I honestly wanted nothing to do with. I've been devoted to science and research ever since. It's been nice. I guess I am a "ghost mgtow" in this way. I know there are definitely women who suit my preferences for a friend and partner around, but the game is absolutely fucked. It's rigged. It is a game. Failing isn't as big a deal as society wants men to think, and moreover failure is just a matter of perspective applied on an optional nature metagame. My preference is to make controlled discoveries; it is not to make decisions based off of reproductive impetus leading to a dramatic, natural, primitive, and horrifically-engineered social outcome for likely everyone involved. As the youngest of five kids, six if counting half-siblings, I've seen enough and have vicariously experienced plenty of this. I prefer the lifestyle I have, just with fewer kidney stones, which by the way seem to be showing up in more men than any time in history, if I'm to interpret data correctly. These are more crippling and urgent than where my pp should go.
Super grazie ❤
Do you feel like there are some females who have escaped the matrix and value this type of thinking?
It is possible, but it doesn't necessarily mean they will like men who think that way, or men at all. I have met a few lesbians who understand this, as well as the criticisms of female nature. After all, without sufficient attraction, simply being like minded will not suffice beyond a surface kinship on like mindedness.
So, if black pill is true, and anyone who isn't accepted by them has an unwanted genetic code, then being like minded won't overcome that. Or, if it is true that some people are just a certain way where they can't conform, their nature still may not be able to overlook it, or not be turned off by it.
@Ewandobson I haven't been with a woman in over a decade. I'm usually okay with it but sometimes it gets depressing. Do you ever feel bad about it? When's the last time you had a partner?
@@l0veall 2018. I asked her to leave because it was revealed the entire foundation upon which the relationship began was based on lies. As well, I started to see the face of one of my "aunts' in her, and I couldn't shake it, it felt like dating a family member (btw, I wish her no ill will, I hope she is fine wherever she is, she was just another repeat of a lesson I had to learn). I don't get lonely at all anymore, I only get bored sometimes. I honestly would prefer a brother, a good friend, than a date or a wife/girlfriend. I'm honestly not attracted anymore, it just seems like a pit of vipers with reproduction traps, and a mandate of "having to make 5 times as much money."
@@l0veall I did a lot of work to achieve the things I have, and I don't feel it necessary to subject that on the table of judgment for beings that will just tell me I am no good. I love my thoughts, my mind, and understanding what nature and life is. I am not interested in having to change careers, make tons of money, just to get some kind of poor love imposter, and bring suffering babies down the blood slide in a world that will torment them.
It’s true if you give up or opt out enough times you essentially reach this weirdo ghost state and you completely stop being presented with opportunities (or even the semblance of opportunities I should say, because the vast majority of “opportunities” are just trickster mirages that never go anywhere, the realization of which is eventually what ceases their manifestations), but also your desire almost completely evaporates too. It is kind of the opposite state of being / existence of what the average person operates in, so they have no idea what to make of you when you are in the ghostlike state of having given up and come to terms with things. But there is also a kind of profound peace that comes. I am not religious but I have found some solace in Buddhism which is agnostic/atheistic anyways and really more of a secular practice than a religion, and in some ways I think it describes this process or aims to set it in motion. Anyway, both the Buddha and Schopenhauer rightly perceived the natural state of the world as negative or suffering. When you become enlightened about the nature of reality much of this suffering ceases but you are on a different mental or spiritual plane than others which is what results in the ghost like experience imo. This state has its own sort of suffering of course but it is much less intense. But it is amazing because in my experience others can sense this change in you even without you ever directly saying anything about it.
Trickster mirages are energy vortexes that excite your "looking forward to" state of emotions, the rug is removed, and your energy falls forward into the trap. This was a regular occurrence when I was held captive by the system. This sort of sting to the emotions is a fine delicacy for them, and I have seen the wink, the grin, and the pleasures they receive from it.
i've been unable to communicate with American women for years now - nothing you do is impressive enough, any feeling they express is seen as authority & they act like their own God (Luciferianism) - something shifted in the culture, and men are seen as disposible on a whole other level, or very few high value men appear worthy of basic attention or intimacy. when I was in my 20s and acted like an egoholic, needy, forced attention etc. found physical success but not romantic, but now there's no opportunity even for a counter part (all women are beautiful, men are trash etc.) something is definitely unbalanced
It is difficult to say with certainty exactly what it is, without being pressed to provide definitive proof that cannot be offered. However, it could be that this is in fact "nature," and it is why religions, many of them, called nature "evil." It is the terrible truth of what lurks behind "systems" and "containers" that are put on top of nature?
That presumed authority you speak of, is likely the "genius of the species" as described by Schopenhauer. It is the will of nature telling you to get in line and do what you are told, and compete for love from women. Sometimes it winks, sometimes it grins, if it gets you angry, it smiles and takes pleasure.
@@Ewandobson Well said bro - I recently came back to the Catholic church and have met a lot of strong young men, and older women, but gen x and millenial women even Catholic still are with the wordly program, very awkward, distant, disconnected sense towards men. My current experience in the Faith is generally just a group of guys trying their best to avoid degeneracy and to focus on skills, community etc. I'm not sure how fearful or religious I really am as I grew up in the Boston hardcore punk scene which was so lefty/liberal it harmed me, so now I try to understand the psychology behind culture and adopt some religious elements as it seems to remind me and guide me to avoid my past of reaction based stimuli/sin and sleeping around uselsesly. I did notice this is a huge western/American issue after speaking to many women in other countries who love their feminity, submissiveness, and desire to treat men better.
@@gl00merz I hear you. This is a tricky territory. Sandman covered this, which is that if you want to go traditional, you have to MOVE to the countries where the tradition exists, learn the language, and live in that culture. Many of the "import wife from abroad" guys realized that once they set up camp here, the same script played out eventually.
I'm 34 and the only women I can have normal down-to-earth conversations are the ones who are much older than me. Where I can tell they grew up before the internet and social media existed. But millennial and zoomer women are completely unrelateble to me. It's like talking to an exotic foreigner
Another thing I want to talk about is the immediate association people have with breaking formation and mental illness. Things like paranoia, or anxiety, are more related to insecure foundation stones of the self that didn't form to their full potential in early years, usually due to abuse, or simply a family that doesn't have those to offer because they didn't have them, being hazed by peers for genetic deformities. Going into those fears, talking about them, letting them process through your body as pain, is essential to "getting well." You don't have to accept the assertion you have X syndrome, you can actually do work to process those things. Asserting that so and so has various syndromes is the way in which the collective entity isolates you as a form of punishment for trying to undergo the individuation process, by facing the "inner self." Culture, cults, and religions, will tell you to ignore the inner self and allow it to be replaced with a group conformity imposter. What is the root of paranoia generally?? Faulty ego security protocols, lack of psychological immune system with boundaries, the inability to take control over the thoughts that intrude and cause fear. Thoughts always come in and out of our minds, it is just that some people lack the part of development that enables CONFIDENT control over the mind. It gets taken away with "runaway" concerns and fears.
"Thoughts always come in and out of our minds, it is just that some people lack the part of development that enables CONFIDENT control over the mind. It gets taken away with "runaway" concerns and fears." this is huge for sure. I have a friend who makes almost all choices out of fears, and simply isolates, avoids the world & all vices and is simply locked into working, health, fitness with no other outlet. "Culture, cults, and religions, will tell you to ignore the inner self and allow it to be replaced with a group conformity imposter." This was true to me when I was more secular into the punk music scene, but coming to religion I feel I can develop myself with a bit more respect for others, and it's more of a challenging experience of finding meaning than finding stimuli or wordly sinful activties (drug/sex/party ego etc.) I genuinely feel I've dumbed myself down just to continue my day job and not throw my life in the shitter again, and I'm trying to address the deeper roots. Been single 3 years after past two relationships girls cheated and lied until I figured it out, and now that I'm more aware and not desperate and have some kind of expectation of maturity, the well is dry.
@@gl00merz Narcissistic abuse in early years from parents can stifle the feeling of confidence in one's own mind (through constant put downs when you say what is on your mind), so that they are more vulnerable to wild thoughts running astray. I think that kind of confidence is fostered by a healthy sense of self, where you feel it is a positive duty to yourself to get rid of thoughts that are harmful to you.
Hello Ewan. Sorry for my bad English. I rarely comment, but this time I couldn't resist. When it comes to reality and human nature, I came to similar conclusions about thirteen years ago... But it was only after reading Cioran, Schopenhauer, Zapfee and Bernhard that I realized how bad it really was. Greetings from Poland.
I have read all Schopenhauer, and almost all Emil Cioran, but I will look up Zapfee and Berhard. Thanks for those names, I will check them out.
@@Ewandobson This is all quite fascinating to me. I've been looking at myself to blame (of which there has definitely been a part played). But I guess when you run out of answers you starting eating away at your morale fibre rather than looking out toward society. Does that make sense? I'll have to look up those boys mentioned. Can you recommend influences for your way of thinking yourself Ewan? I love your music by the way.. Beautifully dark.

“Sorry for my bad english” *proceeds to speak more eloquently than the average native English speaker.
One of the things I tried to explain years ago, that basically blew people's minds and caused rage response: The concept of a "gynocentric social protocol" refers to a societal framework in which female perspectives and behaviors are given preferential treatment, and criticisms of female misbehavior are often downplayed or protected. This framework is rooted in the perception of women as extensions of the maternal figure, evoking a protective and nurturing response from society. Here’s a detailed explanation of this concept: Key Elements of the Gynocentric Social Protocol Preference for Female Perspectives: Social and Cultural Norms: Society often places a higher value on female experiences and viewpoints, especially in contexts related to family, relationships, and caregiving. This can manifest in media representation, social policies, and everyday interactions. Empathy and Support: There is a strong cultural inclination to empathize with and support women, viewing them as primary caregivers and nurturers. This can lead to a bias where women's perspectives are considered more emotionally valid or urgent. Protection of Female Misbehavior: Minimization of Accountability: When women engage in negative or harmful behavior, there is a tendency to minimize their accountability or to offer more lenient judgments. This is partly due to societal perceptions of women as less threatening or more vulnerable. Excuses and Rationalizations: Misbehavior by women is often rationalized with excuses that emphasize external pressures or emotional states, rather than holding them fully responsible for their actions. Perception of Women as Maternal Figures: Maternal Archetype: Women are often viewed through the lens of the maternal archetype, which embodies care, compassion, and selflessness. This archetype can overshadow other aspects of a woman's identity, leading to an automatic assumption of innocence and virtue. Psychological Impact: This perception can trigger a protective response from others, similar to how one might instinctively protect and defer to a mother. This response can be especially pronounced in men who have been socialized to honor and protect maternal figures. Psychological and Sociological Mechanisms Biological and Evolutionary Factors: Evolutionary Psychology: From an evolutionary perspective, protecting and valuing women, particularly those of childbearing age, can be seen as a strategy for ensuring the survival of offspring and, by extension, the species. This deep-rooted instinct may influence social behaviors and norms. Social Conditioning: Gender Roles: Traditional gender roles that emphasize women’s roles as mothers and caregivers contribute to the gynocentric social protocol. These roles are reinforced through family dynamics, education, and media portrayals. Chivalry and Paternalism: Cultural norms of chivalry and paternalism encourage men to protect and support women, often placing them on a pedestal. This can lead to a reluctance to criticize women or hold them accountable to the same standards as men. Implications and Criticisms Impacts on Justice and Accountability: Double Standards: The gynocentric social protocol can create double standards where similar behaviors are judged differently based on gender. Women may receive more lenient treatment in legal, professional, and social contexts. Victimhood and Agency: Overemphasis on women as victims can undermine their agency and responsibility. It can also perpetuate stereotypes that women are inherently more fragile and in need of protection. Gender Relations: Male Disempowerment: Men may feel disempowered or unfairly treated if they perceive that women are given undue advantages or are not held accountable for their actions. Reinforcement of Stereotypes: The gynocentric protocol reinforces traditional gender stereotypes, which can hinder progress toward gender equality by maintaining rigid roles and expectations for both men and women. Conclusion The gynocentric social protocol is a societal framework that favors female perspectives and protects criticisms of female misbehavior, rooted in the perception of women as extensions of the maternal figure. This protocol is maintained through a combination of biological instincts, social conditioning, and cultural norms. While it aims to protect and value women, it can also lead to double standards and reinforce limiting stereotypes, affecting gender relations and justice. Understanding this protocol is crucial for addressing its implications and striving for a more equitable society.
Here is why you are afraid of saying what you really think or feel, it is the shaming language that people use which actually stifles your thinking and causes feelings of vulnerability. I talked about this years ago, but they called me retarded etc. Actually, I'm the opposite of retarded. This is a good primer for anyone trying to make sense of collective methods of destroying the individuation process. Shaming language and the assertion of a parent-over-child dynamic can activate the amygdala and trigger a stress response, which can impede thinking and conscious awareness. This dynamic can be understood through principles of neurobiology and psychological theories such as Transactional Analysis (TA). Here’s how these processes work and how they can be used as tools for control: The Role of the Amygdala and Stress Response Amygdala Activation: Emotional Responses: The amygdala is part of the brain's limbic system and plays a key role in processing emotions, especially fear and anxiety. When an individual perceives a threat, the amygdala is activated, initiating the body's fight-or-flight response. Shaming Language: When someone is subjected to shaming language, it can trigger feelings of fear, inadequacy, and rejection. This perceived social threat activates the amygdala. Stress Response: Hormonal Cascade: Activation of the amygdala leads to the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. This prepares the body for immediate action but also has several cognitive effects. Impaired Cognitive Function: High levels of stress hormones can impair the prefrontal cortex, the brain region responsible for higher-order thinking, reasoning, and conscious awareness. This can result in diminished capacity for critical thinking, problem-solving, and reflective thought. Transactional Analysis and the Parent-Child Dynamic Transactional Analysis (TA): Ego States: TA, developed by Eric Berne, describes interactions in terms of three ego states: Parent, Adult, and Child. The Parent state encompasses behaviors, thoughts, and feelings copied from parents or authority figures. The Child state represents behaviors, thoughts, and feelings replayed from childhood. Parent-Child Interactions: When someone asserts a parent-over-child dynamic, they are interacting from their Parent ego state and addressing the other person's Child ego state. This dynamic can trigger feelings of dependency, obedience, and submission in the person being addressed. Psychological Impact: Regression: Being treated as a child can cause psychological regression, where the individual reverts to behaviors and emotional responses from childhood. This can include heightened sensitivity to shame and authority. Vulnerability to Control: In this regressed state, individuals are more susceptible to manipulation and control, as their critical thinking and self-assurance are diminished. Application in Collectives/Cults and Psychological Manipulation Maintaining Control in Collectives/Cults: Shaming and Guilt: Collectives and cults often use shaming and guilt to keep members in line. By making members feel inadequate or sinful, they can trigger the stress response and impair the ability to critically evaluate the group's beliefs and actions. Parent-Child Dynamics: Leaders or authority figures within these groups may adopt a parent-like role, positioning themselves as the sole source of truth and guidance. Members, in turn, are encouraged to adopt a child-like dependence on the leader, reinforcing their control. Psychological Violence for Power: Manipulative Relationships: In manipulative relationships, individuals can use these tactics to assert dominance and control over others. By inducing stress and regression, they can weaken the other person's ability to resist or think independently. Creating Dependency: The use of shaming and parent-over-child dynamics fosters emotional dependency, making it difficult for the targeted individual to break free from the manipulator's influence. Conclusion Shaming language and parent-over-child dynamics are powerful tools for triggering the amygdala and stress response, thereby impairing cognitive function and promoting regression. These mechanisms can be exploited by collectives, cults, or manipulative individuals to maintain control and power over others. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for recognizing and countering psychological manipulation and fostering healthy, autonomous relationships and communities.
Here are the rules: 1) No one is obligated to like this. I am not in a favor of a world where people have to like whatever I say or do. 2) I will remove insults, concern trolling, or insults disguised with insinuation. I don't go on to other people's walls and insult them, trash them. If I want to know why someone thinks what they do, I ask them, I don't insult them or make assertions with insults built into them. 3) If anyone has questions that I might address in a podcast, I will consider them, so long as they aren't insults disguised as questions or "Gotcha" bullshit 4) This is an incel/blackpill/red pill/mgtow/outcast friendly space, just lay off on the aggressive comments, let's just keep it to male realizations about nature/reality, and learning about human herd behavior, the stages of realization. I will delete insults, and concern trolling, as well as anything that is super violent. 5) If you need to go, I don't need to know about it with a "pity based farewell message." Or, an insult on your way out the door. If you have different ideas and cannot handle or dislike how I express myself, that is fair, but I don't care to be insulted for it.
Wow this is really stupid.
I don't think it's so bad. The horse mask is kind of fun, and the dog shit jersey is custom made.
