Hindsight is 20/20 when we look back at the acts of the 20th century's most notorious and dangerous political movements. But what did those systems anticipate about certain trends we see today? What, if anything, about the psychological health of an individual - or a whole society - can be strengthened to ensure that an oppressive and inhuman power structure doesn't take the reins completely? And if a bonafide pathocracy has assumed control of a population, how can the mere act of seeing it for what it is assist us in dealing with it?

What if our true and natural sense KNOWS something is 'not right' in our self or our own mind - but is willingly deceived into placing the responsibility AS diverted or displaced blame - to the world, to others and to a past made in confusion that runs the mind OF confusion?
What if inviting, holding or justifying hate in our own heart and mind makes us blind because the purpose we wished it to serve, or the meaning it seems to provide or make real for us - IS STILL RUNNING as our sense of self.
A sense of self in grievance subjects the present to its past. IE: Blind to the present and re-enacting the past upon it.
The underlying issue then becomes each ones PRIVATE sense of 'identity in grievance' or indeed under fear of reliving pain of loss, because we each project and 'see' our shadow in the other.
Why do I feel such hatred to those who act so hatefully? Is it because I cannot forgive or release the same in myself - but must damn that 'part' of myself to a hell of exclusion and denial?
How DOES a mind map out 'no go' or UNthinkable areas of its expression?
Is it not by trauma or terror of conflict that effectively swears 'NEVER AGAIN!' and turn its face forever away in a posture SET in pattern BY what is denied?
But now - if you have listened this far... does it WORK?
Does it actually deliver the power of protection that it promised or that you WANTED to believe, or does it effectively GIVE power to a mind of fear that then runs beneath a conscious surface awareness of a world of RELATIVE escape or 'temporary security'? In other words a protection racket from which escape seems impossible and the underlying 'power' associated with protection deemed too big to fail - and so nothing of its 'mindset' or 'world' can really be challenged without invoking the 'greater evil' against which every other is considered a relative escape.
The PERSONALISING of reality is an 'export' of 'outsourcing' or displacing reality - and is part of our experience of reality as separate physical selves and things. The persona is a masking translation of a conflicted self whose name and form is legion - that is many and varied and compartmentalised.
The psychopathic killer of blind hate that runs both hot and cold is more like to an investment in self-fantasy that holds Life to be in violation and seeks to to stamp it out whenever it MOVES outside or apart from its fantasy fulfilment. A little reflection reveals the insanity of giving identity to an IMAGE of reality at cost of the Living Source, Nature and Creator of All That Is - and inseparable from its Creation - as we are inseparable from the thought we hold and 'go forth to multiply as the extending of the Mind that created us.
The split mind of another that is easy to see because the form it takes deviates from the 'normal' is the only opportunity to uncover our own, bring it into light and let it be undone by virtue of recognising we DO NOT WANT IT.
This is different from taking upon ourself the power to GET RID OF or KILL it.
While life can be seen as hierarchical in Cosmic, Atomic or biological terms, its Communication is One in all its 'parts'.
To accept our part in terms of where we truly serve in shared purpose and meaning is actually where the synchronicity of a true fulfilment IS - and will never be found in terms of GETTING or taking for ourself through ANY form of associated self-inflation except as momentary glimpses of fantasy gratification that is lost even in the moment of its experience - leading to addictive and possessive power struggle around the forms of reality - blind to their true meaning. IN themselves they have none - because nothing exists in and of itself - but is in and of Everything.
The God Idea is not 'lording OVER' form, image and conceptual narrative - but of perfect service to all in all.
This calls for recognising and letting go of the mind of getting and becoming a 'self' set over and AGAINST others and world through the willingness for true with-ness and worth-ship. Not by destruction, but by transcending perspective re-cognised in willingness TO relate from a place that we consciously forego the urge to weaponise and control.
You cannot change the mind of another against their will, and yet your willingness to change is refelected in every other mind whether they are accepting of this now or not.
Freedom from the mask in the willingness to know and be known truly - is simply joining the Living, but by withdrawing support for the mask, will leave those who still choose it over true relation to feel its tightening which in time invokes a willingness to question their experience.
They control the Overton window, they have all the tools they require to direct the hive mind of the public
This means they are free to act in "managing" the population
Another point is, they have all the guns. Any challenge using force would be stamped out before it began.
This is why DARPA wanted LifeLog
For a while the dream may seem to hold - but then hatred breaks through.
The roots or triggers of hate are 'hidden in the world' by the wish they be dis-owned, got rid of, denied, erased, eradicated, covered over. This is 'normal' for our consciousness but UN natural.
Psychopathy is sick-mind or indeed split mind.
Sharing purpose we don't mind who takes the roles that lead or follow because we are one in purpose - but in split and conflicted compartmentalised purpose - the role becomes the purpose becomes the role.
When people do not want to face certain facets of their lives, they 'let others deal with it for them'.
Or no one deals with it and the market demand is for the means to maintain ignorance under some narrative diversion.
Letting 'market forces' rule or run in place of a discerning purpose is not the naive 'best product at the best price' because self-interest operates a destructive 'hidden hand'. The power of our denials as the patterns of our past in re-enacted dissociation is not appreciated not least because we have associations with others who play out the role for us such that we can hate or attack 'outside ourselves' - excepting of course that everything we do teaches (us) who we are - and so we have rendered ourselves insane and normalised it.
How many MS engineers does it take to change a light bulb..... None - they simply declare darkness as the new standard.
When enough people get stuck in the same place, they call it 'reality'.
As to the article we're commenting on being about reality - well that's interesting as well because it looks suspiciously like a justification for psychopathy - where i would most respectfully suggest the mere acceptance of the psycho rubbish that seeks power at any cost is at best folly and at worst shit and disaster for the majority.
That is, if the majority can be swindled into acceptance.
My reading on the matter of psychopathy revealed one devastatingly simple cure for the malady. Wiping them out as soon as they're recognized as such has been used to some effect.
Of course the caper of justifying what is in fact an incurable abnormality just had to happen after the research work 'discovered' the brain differences, and here it is, right on cue.
HTH
First, psychopaths are a part of creation, and are aligned with what some would call "the darkness", or more accurately, service to self. To assume that creation needs fixing by beings who do not understand it, is really rather poor, to be frank. Also, this would make one no different from the psychopaths! This assumption, that Prime Creator made a mistake, and that humans are qualified to fix it, is really just beyond. Also, this place is a school , and psychopaths are a part of that, and they are here to teach us something. Should the people fail to learn, then that is just tough sh*t. That old saying, "that people get the government they deserve" applies.
So, without a broad grasp of the situation, and some grounding philosophy, this issue will continue to be "out of reach". Knowledge is the key, and then immunization. This reveals a "blinder", that people have, that they are gods special children, etc. Yet people treat the beings on 2nd Density the same, as people are treated by the beings on 4th Density, and psychopaths. See the problem? To quote the Cs, " Thou ain't so special, despiteth thy perspective, eh?"
Another problem with this should be self evident, as many revolutions throughout history can testify to. Namely, that the ruling psychos have distorted the truth about everything, for so long , that twisting such a movement to "wipe them out", into a movement that wipes out the people of conscience, who are the real threat to them, would be a piece of cake.
Bottom line is, if people remain ignorant, which is a choice generally, then there will never be a world dominated by normal human values, and normal human beings. "Those who serve the darkness , are in the dark themselves". Ignorance is the problem. All we can do really, is to educate ourselves, and others as much as we can.
Your cure IS your acceptance of psychopathy as allowed ONLY for YOU and your social group - who decide who to cast in suspicion, distrust, hate and death. This is also called 'exceptionalism'. The standards you set on others don't apply to you because you are right.
The term 'incurable' is sweet to the denial of Creation. And the attempting of the futile or impossible over and over and yet over again PROVES the denial is justified.
As for abnormality - again who decides what is to be accepted 'normal' and therefore escape the penalty of denial?
You are right in that people seek for and 'discover' what they are looking for, but that hatred and denial should have measurable effects on the neuroplasticity (of the brain) is not to create a 'physical condition' so much as the setting of a psychic-emotional conditioning.
Ignoti nulla curatio morbi! Another quote:
I mean, given the many avenues of problems peeps face each day and those who write about them and offer up ways to think about them, Lobaczewski's work seems to me a pivotal reference point that can't be dismissed - somewhere in what we face in most all these social, economic, political and geopolitical situations, his words ring true.
Good on you all!
In a hierarchy of competence, it is important for the members to obey the rules.
This is necessary to maintain the order of the hierarchy.
And its 'competence'...

It is difficult today, in this highly technological and gilded age of lofty imbalance, which one might even call 'sin'; to work with the mind controllers (those who wield the technology and craft the imbalance) and their mind controllees (those who are kept stupid by the technology and the imbalance).
It is extremely difficult.
I think I shall have to kill them all.
I'm working on it.

More people are waking up to this, so it is no surprise that the agency has come out with a new product - called "Lifelog" - [Link] This is a process that they use to obscure search terms that people want to use for other purposes
“The frustrated are also likely to be the most steadfast followers. It is remarkable, that, in a co-operative effort, the least self-reliant are the least likely to be discouraged by defeat, for they join others in a common undertaking not so much to ensure the success of a cherished project as to avoid an individual shouldering of blame in case of failure. When the common undertaking fails, they are still spared the one thing they fear most, namely, the showing up of their individual shortcomings. Their faith remains unimpaired and they are eager to follow in a new attempt. The frustrated follow a leader less because of their faith that he is leading them to a promised land than because of their immediate feeling that he is leading them away from their unwanted selves. Surrender to a leader is not a means to an end but a fulfillment. Whither they are led is of secondary importance.” P118 The True Believer
OTH;
The Apache were not organized in a hierarchy. Power was distributed and decentralized. They followed The Fifth Discipline that Peter Senge of MIT "developed." They had a common vision which was upheld by volunteerism, rather than coercion. By it they held the Spanish conquistadors at bay, and the US government--military machine, until they were overwhelmed by shear numbers and economic destitution. During the early 90s I was employed by a company of 20 persons that followed, unknowingly, The Fifth Discipline. When being evaluated by the huge German corporation, Siemens, they marveled that we had such a high customer satisfaction. They wanted to know how we accomplished the feat. It was simple. Power to assist the customer was invested in every individual. In our weekly staff meetings, there was no boss. The VP presented the current company state of affairs, and each person voluntarily committed themselves to solving the current problem(s), either as an ad-hoc temporary leader, or contributor. We were a team in the true sense.
Crowds and Power by Elias Canetti is a terrific resource for understanding the behavior of individuals when immersed in groups, and their abdication of responsibility by investing power in an authority.
