J.D. Haltigan is a developmental and evolutionary psychologist who writes the
Multilevel Mailer on Substack. His
research and
writing focuses on psychopathology, social media-induced mental illness in the young, and the psychological phenomena underlying Woke ideology and the culture wars. Lately he has been writing about the negative effects of traits like
compassion and empathy when not balanced and held in check by trait systematization. J.D. has also written a
review of Andrew Lobaczewski's
Political Ponerology tying its insight to our current sociopolitical situation.
How does a doctor of Developmental and Evolutionary Psychopathology see psychopathology at play within academia - from the inside out as it were? Gender ideology, race differences, the censorship complex, emotional dysregulation, leftwing authoritarianism, 'vulnerable narcissism', the weaponization of compassion, etc. - there is a whole slew of prominent features and developments in academia (and Western society as a whole) that, to the classically trained academic of psychopathology, are hard to ignore. And ignore it he doesn't - even if it means taking a step back and away from some of the institutions he would normally be working within.
This week on MindMatters J.D. Haltigan, PhD, gives us his unique perspective on what's wrong with the woke and culturally Marxist mindset so prevalent today in many of the West's top schools. And using his background and research, delves into such questions as how pathology has become something of an evolutionary strategy, how the most prominent traits of men and women have been skewed and weaponized, and just where political ponerology fits in with all that we're seeing.

Years ago I had a female friend in her 60s tell me this story. Her doctor recommended she take estrogen or whatever the drug was at the time which would help her with menopausal symptoms. She followed the advice and suddenly was having sexual attraction to young men, i.e. it was changing her psychology, emotions and thinking. She didn’t want her identity based on a drug so she stopped.
My question to Dr. Halligan. What is the effect of hormonal therapy on men/boys with estrogen-like drugs, or on women/girls with testosterone-like drugs? In the first case, does it make men more emotionally unstable and reactive? In the second case, does it make women more aggressive and angry? Could this be part of Wokeism?
