 No, I'm not I'm not getting across clearly What I'm trying to say is that It's there's no longer There's no longer validity to individual mental illness The construct of individual mental illness is dead and it's dead Because the world is mentally ill What I'm trying to say is that in a deranged world a world that is sick in the head Mental illness of the individual is positively reinforced in other words the environment no longer provides you with Cues health cues cues on how to be healthy You're no longer taught. You're no longer. You're no longer brought up to be healthy There's no unscripted exposure therapy. You're no longer exposed to healthy alternatives If you are mentally ill in a mentally ill world The world is going to reward you To be mentally ill it would pay it would pay to be mentally ill You know if you were if you were living in in Nazi Germany in the 1930s It paid to be mentally ill. It was a positive adaptation if you were a psychopath or a narcissist in the third eye in Hitler's Kingdom Then you know you rose to the top and it's the same today. The world is mentally ill So individuals cannot be mentally ill. That's the new normal The new normal is to be mentally ill and you can't look around around you at other people at Collectives at institutions at countries at Authorities at scientists at experts at gurus at public intellectuals You can't look at your family and your parents and your siblings and your friends and your sex partners and your intimate partners. No one No one is mentally healthy So you can't look around you and say well, I'm gonna calibrate my behavior. I'm gonna control my impulses I'm gonna be healthier I'm not gonna act out. I'm not gonna be defined. I'm not gonna be reckless I'm not gonna be crazy Because I have these eggs examples of people who are healthy And if I do behave in a mentally ill way, you know, the world is gonna Push back and I'm gonna pay a price and I don't want to do that. You don't have this anymore If you believe be behaving mentally ill way, you're gonna be rich. You're gonna be powerful. You're gonna be successful You're gonna be famous and a celebrity mental illness is The precondition the main qualification in the job interview So the environment can't be of help to you people around you can't be of help to you and in such a dystopian bedlam This is the whole world is a is a crazy mental asylum. So it's such a dystopian bedlam Narcissism for example is a value, you know The more narcissistic you are the more admired you are because you have ambition you have a drive you travel over people You you get things done. You are you'll go get her you are daring do your you're not a loser You're a winner narcissism becomes a value self-harming self-harming with sex self-harming with substances is Now empowering fun if you self-harmed with sex. You're an empowered woman If you do substances like alcohol or drugs, you're having fun These things are normalized. They become normative and Magical thinking You know if I only put my mind to it the universe will accommodate my wishes this kind of nonsense Magical thinking or I believe in God another idiocy. These are the only touted strategies What else do you have? I mean the world is is crazy The world is unpredictable capricious arbitrary insane There's no point to use reasoning or rationality. No one is rational No one is reasoned. There's emotional reasoning. So you better be emotional you better believe in magic because Science is indistinguishable from magic Right now and science encourages in you magical thinking especially technologies Various technologies and courage. I mean there's the metaverse coming in the metaverse You are the great wizard In the metaverse you create the world you create the universe You're God. We have we had become God. We are gods Massacism is a new religion because it renders each and every one of us a God and a worshipper and so We each and every one of us is a one man or one woman religion and The contemporary war is between the genders because there's a war don't kid yourself There's a war. It's a life and death war either men will finish off women or women will finish off men That's the way it's going. It's not gonna stop and it's getting worse by the day and women are our enemies as men end of story and Men are the avowed enemies of women also end of story. It's out in the open finally We've had this war going for 10,000 years and Men were winning and then now men are losing and men are not gonna take it lying down and women I'm not gonna take it lying down and there's gonna be a war. There is a war What am I talking about? But this war is a private case of this mass insanity You know what's happening the locus of intimacy has shifted Intimacy is no longer associated with sex Intimacy today is associated with talking to each other or with light touching Handholding touching your hair. That's intimacy sex is not intimacy today avoiding sex Postponing sex These are now the signals of being serious about a partner If you find someone likeable or lovable you don't have sex with them Because sex is the opposite of intimacy Said you have sex with people you don't like people you will not get attached to strangers You don't have sex with people you like and could get attached to because it will hand it ending heartbreak And everyone is risk averse Everyone is cotton candy. Everyone is you know, no, don't touch me. No, I don't want that. It's risky. Wow Horrible this is there. This is narcissism as well, of course because your cosmically significant and so you should never compromise your your body or your mind and should never expose yourself to triggers and risks and and so on so Sex is dangerous because it can lead to attachment. You can catch feelings It can lead to to an affair. It could lead God forbid to a committed relationship or horrible marriage in children This is the path to damnation So sex and intimacy are a no-go zone. It's Chernobyl Chernobyl It's like a post apocalyptic nuclear catastrophe area like no one wants to have relationships No one let alone marriage in children so Today if you find someone you like or you love first thing you do is not have sex you keep sober You don't drink and you enter a committed relationship, which most of which end up being sexless Men and women hate each other They hate each other and that's true, but you know what even this is a private case because everyone hate everybody else Hatred is the coinage of the realm It's the new new hatred is a new love Hatred is a new normal You relate to other people by hating them and then gradually Maybe you grow to love them. So it's like guilty until proven innocent So you hate you just hate it's reflexive Everybody hates everybody. So of course men hate women Ideology trumps science. I mean f science. I mean I have my own ideology my own truth my own facts Facts our opinions opinions have become facts emotions become certainties Power is the holy grail not love Love is for the mushy cushy love is for three huggers and touchy-filly effeminate men or you know Stupid gullible women and love is out of fashion completely love sucks and victimhood Supplements dignity. We had a culture of dignity Throughout human history. We had a culture of dignity reputation and dignity Defined who you were as a human being today It's identity politics. You are defined by your brand of victimhood Everybody everyone and his dog is a victim of someone or something Everyone is not a single person. I know who is not a victim of something or someone Somewhere at some time now or in the future. That's it victimhood is in the air like love used to be so now There's no dignity There's no reputation. There's no striving. There's no work. There's no investment. There's no commitment There's no energy left Everyone is a little in a lethargic state of learned helplessness Self-centered said centeredness you asked me about About egotism and so on. It's very often confused egotism narcissism. So narcissism is a clinical entity. It's a forget that Don't even use this word. It's overuse. It's wrong wrongly use them. It's a disaster zone, but self-centeredness Self-centeredness is totally uprooted Communality we don't do things together anymore because we're technologically self-sufficient and we are atomized We don't see people except occasionally on a dating up when we want to discharge fluids We have become each other's sex dolls dildos animated dildos We had been objectified to the core We are each other's total objects, but they mean objects not in the psychological sense Objects as in refrigerator or television or car or smartphone We are using each other's bodies not very interested in each other's minds anymore No one no one really reads no one is curious No one is is going on the adventures of the mind the adventures of the body count and there's this Endless stream of mind numbing entertainment And so people you know switch on Netflix or play video games hours a day according to recent studies, so There's no commonality. How can it be? How can you have a community? How can you collaborate and work together and produce together if you don't talk to each other? If you're stuck at home Social isolation and distancing had long preceded covid They are they they're a 40 year old trend. They've been described in books in the 1980s Aggressive and even violent tribalism and partisanship Are ripping us asunder because we no longer communicate with each other. We're not interested We want to be in echo chambers with like-minded people surrounded by confirmation bias We don't want to talk anymore Okay, you see but there's universities They are centers of thinking and deliberation and debate and study and research bullshit bullshit Higher education teaches nothing useful Nothing useful. I'm not talking about engineering stem. Not talking about science technology engineering. Not talking about this Talking about humanities and so the vast majority of universities I mean the tiny percentage are in in science or technology studies overwhelming majority of students are in humanities. Humanities are crap They're crock of shit. They're nothing. They teach you nothing useful Humanities inculcate in the tender charges of academe the students inculcating them self-harming behaviors infantilism aversion avoidance withdrawal anxiety and fear of life That's what higher education does for you And in addition to that you're going to student debt to pay for this nonsensical trash and hype So no wonder higher education is declining There's no tenure. There are no tenured professors. Everyone is terrified of each other. The whole thing is falling apart Because it provides no value The students have taken over in a replay of Mao's cultural revolution and faculty are terrified The censorship political correctness trigger warnings you're naming It's impossible to do proper research to write anything to say anything. You might end up and in a committee But you talking to a student is sexual harassment It's insane. What's going on there? Higher education is doomed. It's dead in the water It's it's taken 700 800 years since the University of Paris The 21st century will see the abolition of higher education. I have no doubt about this university is a dead institution It's at best a place to have fun And hookups in drunken parties. That's the main function of universities nowadays in such a toxic Toxic cesspool Great large this world post-modern world we live in Certain mental health proclivities Central certain mental health disorders Are advantages They are positive adaptations. There's something to aspire to Derangements like narcissism and psychopathy Owning a dark triad personality is the road to to health a road to success In prominence. So these are positive adaptations They're scholars who glamorize narcissism and psychopathy Because it sells money corrupt had corrupted everyone YouTube is An abomination Absolute abomination if anyone had had balls, they would ban all this social media and dismantle them The worst thing that had happened to humanity The worst thing that had happened to humanity malicious factories Malicious factories designed with malice afford thought To destroy the minds of human beings via processes of conditioning addiction and worse relative positioning and worse and so Narcissism and psychopathy are thriving Dark personality dark triad personalities are at the top They manage the world they run the world and they run the world because the world is sick The sick rise to the top when the world is sick And there's nothing we Can do about this Even the healthy ones and not among them but the healthy ones. There's nothing you can do about this These are the forces of history This is how civilizations end and new ones begin But the new civilization at our doorstep Is not the middle ages middle ages was harmless fun Compared to what we are entering now Because now we have technology And now we don't have We don't have institutions societal institution Institutions and communal institutions the middle ages had at the concert had the institution of family They had the institution of the church The middle ages had institutions to buffer against To buffer against the collapse of civilization. We don't have anything anything Except our technologies which makes which accelerate these pernicious trends We are bloody doomed Doomed completely
