Have you ever wondered how wokies manage the level of swagger and general arrogance one associates with prizefighters and the super rich? They're incredibly unhealthy people, physically. They don't work out, they eat poorly, and they take drugs that make them fat and have a significant impact on their emotional range and overall psychological makeup. And most of them aren't especially rich — adjunct professors and people who work in media earn very little.
Mental illness is a factor, sure.
Grandiosity is a feature of Cluster B disorders and some mood disorders. But there doesn't seem to be any basis for the degree of self-confidence wokies have. It's not just that they're unafraid of social consequences of their behavior; they behave as if they're openly carrying firearms and unafraid of the consequences of pulling the trigger.
What if they are? What if wokies are secretly armed with invisible weapons whose use has real-world physiological consequences, and we just don't know it?
I've said before that I studied pickup artistry when I was younger. That's not, strictly speaking, true. While the techniques I learned in the course of trying to figure out how to meet women are techniques that were commonly taught and practiced in that world, I knew nothing about the online PUA scene until much later, and for the most part, I never used "techniques" at all. They never worked for me, and I'm a handsome 6'3" mesomorph in any case. I met women
in spite of pickup, not because of it.
I didn't study pickup. I studied
pickup artists.I lived in a number of cities during my twenties. One day, in one of them, I was taking the subway home from a nightclub when I saw a short, neatly dressed Chinese-American guy about my age doing the weirdest fucking routine I had ever seen in my life in front of an extremely attractive and extremely puzzled blonde. He was modulating the pitch of his voice as he chatted with her, going up and down in a kind of sine wave. I didn't know what he was doing, but knew he was doing
something, and I wanted to know what.
In those days I started more conversations with strangers than I do now. I waited until the blonde had fled, and then approached the guy. I knew the type; he was a bullying victim who had learned to be a bully, roughly analogous to the kind of tough guy who ran his mouth about how he was a Wing Chun master in the 90s, before Muai Thai and BJJ fighters began mashing people who did Wing Chun into paste in the octagon.
I am an autistic body language nerd with the kind of reality-based self-defense training that means my masculine self-confidence is not based on whether I think I can kick somebody's ass. Most men are uncertain as to whether they'd win a fight, but while I am under no illusions that I am Bad Bad Leroy Brown, I usually have a fairly good idea whether it would be worth the trouble to pick one going in. And knowing that my position on the tough guy totem pole is further from the bottom than it is from the pinnacle, I don't mind making a fool of myself from time to time.
Since there wasn't a way around the fact that I was bigger and fitter than he was, I presented myself as slow and oblivious;
narcissists with no basis for their unearned sense of superiority need you to be weaker than they are or they can't cope. After trying a few social jiujitsu techniques to control the interaction, he realized that the person he was talking to wasn't trying to win, wouldn't be capable of winning if he did try, and in fact wasn't aware there was a competition going on at all.
He relaxed enough to explain that he was a student of a master PUA, and that he had been given the honor of assisting with the master's demonstration during the seminar that was going on that weekend at a local hotel. I asked him the kind of questions he seemed likely to answer, playing thick to the point of brain damage throughout; it was clear it was the only way to get him to explain the whole deal behind pickup artistry. By the end of the interaction, I had what I wanted from him — I knew what a PUA looked like and how one behaved, and I knew if I wanted to find more, I could.
The next weekend, I started huntin' wabbits.
There is a type of bar that is a magnet for PUAs. Now that I knew what they were like, I knew I'd find some there. The first few times I engaged with obvious ones, I clowned them. I was cockier than they were, in no small part because I knew I could back it up if it came down to it. Pickup is supposed to give you an edge, and my assessment, based on my interaction with the guy on the train, was that it was based on nothing real. I figured that even if there was something to it, the guys who taught pickup weren't going to teach anyone anything at a seminar that would solve their problems in such a way as to make them actual players. Why create competition? PUA students would date around and eventually get girlfriends after dropping hundreds or thousands of dollars on seminars and literature, because that's what happens after you go out and socialize for a while. They would be content, the PUA teaching the classes would be richer, and everyone would be happy.
Then, after a few weeks spent being an asshole more or less because I could, I ran into something very different.
Years later, I pieced together the bigger picture. There were esoteric techniques that got passed around the elite of PUAs, the guys who
taught the classes at the time pickup was popular, and these body tricks were emphatically
not taught at the courses and seminars that people like Neil Strauss and Mystery used to earn their living. Those Alpha PUAs were my fellow autistic body language/social dynamics nerds, and unlike their disciples, who were by and large oblivious to the bigger social picture (as I was at the time), they were not fumbling around.
They were focused, socially dominant practical psychologists, often with the kind of real underlying personality damage that comes from learning to play mind games at the Olympic level. They treated people like things, and after I met my first real PUA, I was afraid of them.I don't know which one he was. They all had jolly pirate nicknames back then, but someone in that world would know him by his description, which I do not intend to share. He wasn't particularly handsome or fit, but he had the look and the style, and I thought I'd try and make him look foolish in front of the beauty he was talking to. If we're being honest, I probably wouldn't have stood a chance with her at the time. I don't know if I'd even want to try today. I like beautiful women as much as the next man, but people find others like themselves, and I wouldn't want to be with anyone like someone who did what he did next.
He held up his finger to her, as if to say "I'll be back in a minute," and walked off. I shrugged my shoulders and started to strike up a conversation with the girl he'd been talking to.
And then I had my first-ever full-blown panic attack.
I couldn't move. I felt small and naked and alone in the middle of this crowded bar. It was like a nightmare, one in which a malign intelligence that bore no resemblance to anything human, anything that knew compassion or empathy, was studying me, a primitive specimen not even worthy of contempt. I somehow knew that whatever happened to me next would be entirely up to whatever being or entity causing my distress, and that I would have no say in the matter.
Then it passed. I turned this way and that, wide-eyed with fear, only to see the PUA wink at me from a few feet away. He walked back to the girl and they resumed their conversation. I walked out of the bar, my eyes on the floor. I heard her laugh as I left. I hailed a cab home, staggered into my bathroom, and threw up.
I wasn't sure when I started writing this piece whether I was going to reveal the method, and now that I'm at the point where I could explain it, I've decided not to. It isn't a gun, it's a weapon that can only be used to torture and traumatize, and I will not help anyone learn how to do it. But I will say that in the years since, I have reverse-engineered the trick. I do know now how it is accomplished, and could break its methodology down so that someone who had never seen it used could learn to do it in five minutes. It is not magic in the sense of the supernatural, not in the slightest.
I tell this story for a number of reasons. I'm not who I was then, and don't want to be that guy ever again. In that moment I realized the destructive capacity of a dominance-oriented mindset. Soon after, I vowed to work for a prestige-oriented world, and that world that once was and could be again has been my North Star ever since.
But the main reason I tell it is this:
He was not the only one who knew how to do it.I have lived in very gay and very woke places. Many gay people are trauma survivors with the kind of damage that would twist one into thinking that there is ever a justification for dehumanizing others. And many gay men and lesbians are autistic, and most trans people are. Autists learn body language tricks easily and intuitively if they are taught by other autists. And gay men, lesbians, and trans people are the only people who I have seen do it since. They, too, resent large, capable cis men.
Wokies have even learned to use it tactically; I have seen them work in teams, with one person serving as a distraction and others using the body trick I describe. Consider this: If you can induce panic in another person without a cause obvious to third parties, you can ascribe the source of that panic to anything you choose. You can then point to their reaction and claim the traumatized victim is actually the guilty aggressor. After all, what else but shame at having been caught in the act of bullying a smaller, defenseless sexual minority would make a obvious brute stand frozen in fear, his barbarism revealed by the cold spotlight glare of his victim's righteous defenders? Things are not always as they appear.
So share this post, please. The woke have weapons with which they enforce compliance, and not all of them involve the use of shaming, shunning, or social media. And if you have an unexplained panic attack, or suddenly feel like the bottom has dropped out of your world and that you are being eyed by a demon in the context of a dispute with a social justice warrior, know that you are not imagining it. It is real, and being done to you deliberately.
Note: I have been asked by a few people whether I'm speaking metaphorically in this piece.In a word, "no."The human instinct to freeze in terror when faced with predation is innate, and I am describing, as best I can without explaining the method used, a real-life technique based on cognitive neuroscience that hijacks that response. Speaking as generally as possible, it relies on a misuse of the concept of resonance, and can be reliably applied as long as the victim is within about 20 feet of the predator. With practice, it can even be applied while the predator is doing other things, as long as they don't require too much physical focus. Conversation, yes. Knitting, probably not.I can do it myself, and I could teach it; it's easy. I never in a million years would. I'm not big enough in terms of audience, and I don't want people running around doing it. I want people to know about it, though, and if you're a cognitive neuroscientist or academic psychologist, I'll explain in detail via email as long as you promise to investigate and ultimately publish the science behind how it works. It'll take you ten minutes to learn how, half an hour or less to practice with a partner, and you can judge for yourself whether I'm exaggerating or misrepresenting the facts. (And if I know you, email me and I'll tell you.)But I want it defanged and useless. It's underground but widespread among the worst people imaginable, and it should not be available to anyone.I have never asked my readers directly to forward an article to their friends and loved ones before, and I probably never will again.
If I'm being honest, the number one reason I started this newsletter, and put forth as much effort as I have to promote it, was so that I could write this particular piece and have some hope of it getting disseminated to a general audience. It was always in the back of my mind.
If you are unfamiliar with my work, I'm a neuropsych nerd, and a martial artist, and a survivor of bullying, neglect, and several years of sexual abuse as a child.
As such, I am going to go out on a limb and state that I understand on a visceral level the ways in which the physiology of psychological dominance can be employed better than the overwhelming majority of non-psychologists, and better than most clinicians who do not specialize in the study of violent criminals. That, and the body of work that makes up my posts on this newsletter to do with autism, social dynamics, and spatial-sequence synesthesia, are the credentials I present to back up what may come across as an outlandish claim.
Thank you for reading The Wonderland Rules. This post is public so feel free to share it.

Luckily I ran into somesuch phrase as "symptoms of mood disorders".
References derived from The pseudo-science shekel-making field termed "Psychology" will always point me toward the back door and thank you very much.
Also, "wokes" are neurotic (actually a biochem disease not quackery) - and all neurotics are skinny, not fat.
A big portion of them are vegetarians. It's called cholesterol, and your axon sheaths find it quite useful.
There was nothing to get. Probably the most pointless article I ever read.
This sounds a lot like a Neural Linguistic Programming (NLP) technique: "He was modulating the pitch of his voice as he chatted with her, going up and down in a kind of sine wave". The same stuff being used on us in the media..."Keep your children safe and protect others. Get your child their covid vaccine." or something like that. [Link]
Maybe the author is unfamiliar with the term NLP?
However, there is also an element of broadcasting what I would call instinctive energy by the PUA practitioner that created the panic attack. As a manager, I had an employee, who had the ability to broadcast an energy that was very difficult for me to control my reaction. In a similar way, I have known a woman who could broadcast a sexual energy that is not any visual or audio energy.
We will see if SOTT keeps it a secret too or will spill the supposed beans.

wonderlandrules@substack.com will redirect you to my email..
I can relate, I grew up in a manipulative environment and it all works like voodoo of sorts, i.e. hypnotic rhythm in voice intonation and messing up your psyche kinda like judo fighters use your own momentum to slam you into the ground..
These predators certainly can see through you and make you feel guilty or attracted at whim, since they (subconsciously?) know which switches to press and levers to pull.. I think it is as much learned as being just a "natural talent" for some of the psychopaths, you can practice this stuff, though the natural born psychos (autists?) will always have an edge..
The basis is, you cannot be meek & timid to pull this off.. I've learned to avoid such people and I'm more than happy to be able to recognize this kind of manipulation, practicing it is akin to violence for me and I'd prefer to be violent than manipulative even in self-defense.. Violence seems so much more honest than this "jedi mind tricks", at least to me it does..
Also glad I never had to resort to "pick-up artistry", I much prefer the lonely years before I met my soul-mate against any socialization with feeble-minded females that have NO IDEA what they expect from themselves NOR from their potential partners, that would be such a waste of time to engage in that just for the physical pleasure and not having to "feel alone" while DEEP INSIDE I would feel alone anyway, if our relationships would be based merely on sweet talk and physical attraction with NO SUBSTANCE..
Great article and I hope someone decides to decode this behaviour the "scientific way", but I mean real science and not the Fauci's "Science".. There is still a lot we don't understand about psycho/sociopaths and this is one of such things
Please more articles about stuff like this, it's heavily underrated (but perhaps it could've been written better, personal experiences are hardly relatable for MOST of those who haven't been through such situations)
Some seem to know this naturally, others need to acquire it through hardship (as I did), so good for you I guess.. The worst thing is the regret, though. I personally have little regret, as I managed to avoid stuff I wouldn't like (many times even before I realized what it is), so I guess I'm lucky
Yes, sexual appetite and boredom are the greatest ways the predators can manipulate the young ones into becoming immoral wrecks themselves, which is why our society is the way it is, it makes everyone "happy"
I wish you the best on your path and as little regret as possible, I like your way of thinking/commenting, it's brutally honest - yet that is the greatest value
Thankfully we bag our groceries ourselves here in Eastern Europe, but thanks for the offer
I'm glad I've never been a womanizer, women would seem so boring and "all-the-same" to me if I was, or at least so I like to think about it. Then again, what would I know? That's why I believe everyone has got a "path" and it's not possible to judge which one is better or worse (except for what you become in the end, I guess)..
It is the under-appreciated trait of being a mere slave to Western colonizers, we might actually end up better than the Westerners (though the decadence sprang out of the roof here in the last three decades, sadly)
You can always "get a new job", though? Perhaps you'd discover something more exciting than packing paper bags whole day while making guys nervous and their girlfriends jealous?
Mostly Slavic though, as am I. Even this country was much better back when it was Czechoslovakia, nowadays both Czechia and Slovakia are hollowed-out shells of former glory (thirty years of corruption and privatization can ruin ANY country, here people have mastered over a half (1800) of the approx. 3400 fields of human activity/industry, which was the most such a tiny nation ever did in the whole world! Sadly, it is long gone and we have little left beyond staggering debts and loans, while 40 years ago this country was 100% self-sufficient in food and many other things) with dumbed down and aggressively anti-Russian population..
You almost sounded proud of it, but I guess it's not that much fun actually, is it? Flirting can be fun sometimes (if both sides know nothing will come of it), but I can't imagine it all day long.. I see it can have its downsides as well, then.. I won't pretend to understand what it must feel like to be you, though.. Perhaps I'm glad I'm a guy and no-one bothers me with this kinda stuff (thinly veiled sexual urges & stuff, must be pretty hard for women that don't know how to navigate that maze of emotions too)..
Now that you say it though, I think the feeling is mutual, which is perhaps the reason I like your comments, there's a similar way of thinking/coming to similar conclusions, which I appreciate
Ahh, I can relate, me and my love are quite similar in these regards, I think there's a lot of truth in the saying that "birds of a feather tend to flock together", this is just another piece of evidence that it works Though I'm not saying we're 100% same (no-one is), but such situations happened to me quite often here on SOTT and also IRL..
Well, I find that admirable and quite a difference, personally I lack the courage to enjoy bad situations and thus I prefer to avoid them like plague.. I think it requires more than courage to get through that succesfully, though.. However I'm learning to "not mind" any hardship I might encounter, stoicism seems to be the way to not get distracted by triffle matters and worldly pains/pleasures.. I wish taking things "as they are" would be easy, though I'm not certain if our emotional nature is meant for that.. And there's still that need to rationalize everything, too.. Thankfully I've been able to get over the indoctrination at school and media and watch the world through my own lenses and make my own sense out of this mess we live in, I'm glad to see others like us anytime.. It restores my faith in our species
Glad I could have this conversation with you and I wish you a great day (night?) - I'm off to the woods now for a few hours, all that blue light from display strains my eyes, green is a great relief and the air is much better there, too..
As I always am when I see that shit happening I was surprised and disgusted and as I recall I said something like, "Everyone who made it out of grade school raise your hand ... "
And people can do quite a lot for primitive instincts & pleasure, drugs too.. especially young and naïve and yearning ones. They become corrupt easily and it might take a lot of time for them to realize, if ever.. Another matter is everyone's personal battle with own imperfections and ego, that's why no one can run away from oneself
In the end, everything serves to make us understand ourselves better and define ourselves in boundaries of reality & our imagination, after all we chose the path, so we must keep going and risk making a bad choice, but that's life, eh? It would be boring otherwise I guess
Women can also be cold and predatory, but much more on the manipulative than the sexual side, exceptions like G. Maxwell put aside.. We're biologically hardwired to proliferate, men ever perhaps more so, considering our disregard for material conditions as opposed to women, who feel the need to provide a safe haven for their offspring much more often than men.. Depends a lot on actual maturity though..
And of course men being the curious, horny animals they are, prefer to have as many experiences they can get, so the secrecy, lying and manipulation come as necessary skills of all succesful womanizers (unless they're famous celebrities)..
I've been always more interested in the prospects of mutual understanding than physical looks (even got accused of being gay by fools not able to wrap their minds around the fact I turned down some truly pretty opportunities, just because I didn't like how they spoke or thought in general, as some were cringefully naïve for me back then.. I guess it sounds like I'm boasting though )
Actually I suggest you to not trust me nor any other stranger on the internet. We ARE a secretive, lying and manipulative bunch, just like some of you women, too 😂
It's all about what people prefer and whether they have the empathy or not, I guess.. Empathy is key to not become a psycho, but I'm not sure how much it is an inborn trait and how much can humans become insensitive (the Covid mass psychosis proves that a large majority can do terrible things or agree with them). It reminds me of the Holocaust experiments on how long people can survive working hard with little to no food, all the data has been used after WWII to provide basis for nutritional, workload and medical guidance and "averages".. All important people and data have been saved and evacuated, that's why the US got involved in the war, to save as much as possible before Soviets grab it all. Not saying Soviet army were saints, though.. Common people suffered under ALL troops, though in some places it was better than in the others, a lot depended on command staff.
I guess this Covid experiment provided them with lots of data as well, especially if they can monitor them in real time and process the data into the huge simulation of Earth they're running (supposedly)..
I'm afraid we're about to see..
Yep, we are on track. The falling away also applies to falling away from being morally sound, not just Christ.
The Days of Noah started a while ago. God with held punishment until Noah completed the ark which was about 100 years. The ark is symbolic on so many levels, but I digress. I agree with what you are saying, it's gong to get a lot stranger each and everyday. People will hold onto their resolve, clinging to what we have at all costs, instead of turning the other cheek. It was never meant to be easy to turn the other cheek. Material possession and power on one side and spiritual salvation on the other, the 2 do not go together. My goodness, the anguish and anger people express today over the loss of a possession is outrageous. Most will do evil to survive, instead of accepting their ultimate fate death. Only those smart enough to repent their sins and accept Christ (which is FREE), will escape, those that do not will be judged accordingly.
I'm opting for the free pass, right or wrong (for most), it's free. Peace of mind it will provide me with as this train wreck we are locked into moves on to complete it's journey into hell, taking with it as many as possible. Which is the ultimate goal of the Enlightened One, as he knows his fate already and wants as much company as possible to suffer with him in misery for eternity. Even those who take the free pass now will be challenged right to the end and those who accept it just before the final crash will have harder challenges to overcome to prove their worthiness at that late time.
Always nice chatting with you!

It has always been obvious that the point of the experiments was not to gather data about us, but to satisfy the psychopathic nature of government officials posing as "doctors" and "scientists". They never needed to experiment with torturing us just to prove that torture hurts, they know torture hurts. A cliché in psychology states that "Serial killers start out by torturing & killing animals, then move on to humans." Well, what is a medical or science experiment? It generally involves torturing & killing animals.
And these are the same people we depend on for help when we are injured or ill. And we act surprised when they mass-murder us with a fake vaxx while smiling and dancing on TikTok; did you see all those grinning, jiggling serial killers?
Also, the concept of the "Noble Lie" in healthcare is inherently psychopathic, and commonly applied to medical "experiments" performed without informed consent.
I support all faith that is based on love and acceptance, but I despise that which is built on supremacy and arrogance.. Thankfully there are few such abominations, if we forget about Zionists..
Now that cracked me up, good one! I've studied French since childhood but never managed to master it, English was way easier and with more opportunities to practice it discussing with people.. Also Spanish seemed much easier to me and I made progress faster in it than in French.. I can passively understand just about any Slavic, Germanic or Roman language if I can read the characters.. I can understand Russian with few problems unless it comes to reading, I guess Latin alphabet is what my brain got used to.. too much.
Don't abhor your roots though, without them you're like a leaf in the wind.. I prefer to be the leaf still attached to the tree And I'm aware all of our trees are dying slowly
Zionists, I agree are arrogant and narrow minded and corrupted. The Bible is for the Jews, except from Acts 7 (after the stoning of Steven) until Hebrews, which is the part specifically for the Gentiles. I just learned that recently in the last couple of years, and it's opened my eyes to understanding the book better, knowing how to rightly divide it. Something the Popes knew about, but never ever talk about or show in their sermons.(pricks that they are).
To your last comment about faith I agree as well, except I look at it differently. I support any human that is a good human. Our gene pool is so corrupted and yet, even in this day and age we are all still distant Bothers and Sisters in this drama we call life. Peace be with you, my Brother.
Good thing is, it motivated me to look for something else, until I found my roots, those of the Slavic people, the Vedas. In them the crucial theme is Nature and its protection and our place in the great scheme of things, the divine design of the Creator of all and us being his children and heirs to his legacy, on the "endless" path of understanding and evolution until we become one with Him It resonated with me immediately and made me wonder why there is little to nothing according Nature in the Bible or other sacred texts (maybe because the Bible and other jewish holy texts are of desert tribes origin? They had little reason to concern themselves with Nature, I guess)..
I respect and try to learn from all the sacred texts though (unless they're anti-human), because I believe the wisdom of Creator is in all of them to an extent and because the "core" of them is pretty much common knowledge along the lines of the message of Christ (which has been misunderstood and murdered by his own Jewish people)..
Peace be with you as well, my Brother
The bad Watchers, God judged these Watchers and had them bound in Tartarus and under the sands of the earth in chains of darkness where they are to remain for 70 generations. We still have good Watchers all around us, we just can't see them unless they appear to us and they can just appear to us and us alone or to everyone around. Like the web today is controlled, God is in control of the Watchers communication channels. That's why and how Paul was the only one to see the vision of Jesus on the road to Damascus and not those around him. The Invisible Man is like a modern day contextualization of this phenomenon. There is a whole realm we can't see a realm taken away from us, because of that first rule we broke. Context. Enoch, was pure (genetically), he walked the way of God so perfectly that he took him. Noah's wife was one of Enoch's daughters. The world at that time was corrupted, like today. This is all brief context, there is more.
Now lets go read the book of Enoch knowing the context of the time of Enoch.
Ah, what a journey this life is. May we all walk the correct path to be at one with the creator.
Peace!
What that all means was probably figured out by Leonard Cohen at some point.
It also explains the number of psycho's in politics and entertainment/media industry - they're perfectly fit to roleplay to convince the masses and even become idols..
Cult of personality.. Charisma.. There are many ways to call it, but it's all about will, intention and dominance in terms of opponents knowledge, since when you don't understand how they "charm" you, you can hardly defend yourself against the mimics..
I can only tell, DOUBT is your biggest enemy in such situations.. your own insecurities and fallacies. Unless you're a psycho Then it depends on self-esteem and ignorance of both sides..
Anyways, who cares about PUA's, they are all dogs and a dogs life they is what they lead. But what is important to remember is that everyone gives off a vibe. Some vibes are interpreted differently by each individual, some vibes are interpreted the same and some are missed. Call it spiritual, magic, demonic, angelic or whatever, just know this, go with your gut instinct, it's there for a reason and it just might save you from embarrassment, death, going to a PAU seminar or worse sitting here trying to figure out what Jay is talking about.
I agree on the charisma stuff, but still it makes me wonder, how come that psychopaths so often possess this trait? Or did ever anyone make a "qualified estimate" as for the percentage of anti-social psychopaths versus those spread among us?
