This article from Philosopher Andrew Taggart argues that there is no such thing as mental health, and that talking about it is a category error.
I bet I can combine possession techniques such as those described in the Black Magic Manifesto by @Timothy and other places with surveys such as Free Personality Test | 16Personalities or https://crash.co/discover to make make egregores easier to comprehend.
I was told about a discordian image board, so I made a post to it.
I am in training on being a jerk so I can get what I want more often.
I just noticed a trend between the 1990s Japanese Lost Decade and a surge of demonic Japanese media in the 1990s and 2000s.
Happy Winter Solstice!
I am officially turning the corner today and going from being a cog, to being an artist.
I listened to A Biblical Cosmology with David Weiss on The Paranormies Present.
David’s magical thinking was on point. His power of belief made it possible for him to be a successful entrepreneur. The show also realized what science does, so I have another working definition for it.
science : the process for detecting invariance of a universe
This new definition has some working assumptions that makes it easier for me to use as an artist engineer.
- Assumes more than one universe.
- Allows me to measure the difference between 2 universes.
- Does not assume the need for an institution which a term like systematic enterprise would imply.
- Assumes universes are malleable.
- Allows me to measure how good a scientific process is based on data.
I have a derivative definition of universe based on Bill Gaede’s book, The Rope Hypothesis.
definition : a set of criteria that limits the extent or usage
of a word
object : that which has shape
concept : a word that invokes or embodies two objects or
more objects
distance : separation between two objects
location : the set of distances from one object to all others
motion : two or more locations of an object; to move
exist : an object that has location; physical presence
universe : a set of objects that have physical presence with each other
Sadly I had to reject Gaede’s old definition of science because it wasn’t rigorous enough, and philosophers rejected the classification of philosophy as a science. Religion and Science (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Now I can say an instance of Pokemon Gold is a Universe and an instance of Pokemon Silver is a universe. Now I have a problem. They both has physical presence with each other but only conditionally such as doing a trade.
multiverse : a set of objects that conditionally have physical presence with each other.
I also have a working definition for religion.
religion : the process of manipulating variance of a universe
Here is my beef with David Weiss, and the Paranormies’s magical thinking. They attempt to modify invariances of a universe with religion.
pseudoscience : the misapplication of processes used to manipulate variance of a universe on invariant parts of a universe
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/pseudo-science/
What they do is take data and models and attempt to poof them away by playing peekaboo. It is bad because it is limiting your own power unnecessarily. You can leverage invariance to your own advantage.
There are 2 ways to control a universe, physical manipulation around invariance and demagogic manipulation everywhere else.
I am going to link this post into my blog so I don’t lose track of it.
I would also like to reference Who is The Strongest Pokemon Trainer Ever which goes over power scaling methods.

Could it be possible that Sam Vaknin is trying to manufacture more narcissists? He says the best way to deal with a narcissist is by going no contact, but he is a narcissist and not going away. I am not making a value judgment. I just want to hear both sides of the argument for making more and not making more narcissists.

New Sam Vaknin video called " Child’s Defense Against Madness: Personality Disorders (Schizotypy and Neoteny)" is out and pretty much the game is up. Mental Illnesses are just personalities medicalized to extract money from people. Narcissism, Schizoid, APA approved politically correct term for the quarter, etc. is an adaptation to the environment.
Here is my favorite quote.
We need a market so we can speculate on psychological terms.
Looking at Sam Vaknin’s site God and Science: Introductory Notes
My definition of science is equivalent to his, and my definition of religion fits the hole created by his usage of his set of other systems.
There are many kinds of narratives and organizing principles. Science is driven by evidence gathered in experiments, and by the falsification of extant theories and their replacement with newer, asymptotically truer, ones. Other systems - religion, nationalism, paranoid ideation, or art - are based on personal experiences (faith, inspiration, paranoia, etc.).

I just finished listening to Is Earth the Center of the Solar System? | FTFE Vs Robert Sungenis and FTFE’s aftershow. I noticed something sus about the debate because the contentious issue was about the interpretation of data, and not the data itself. I sent in the superchat asking the debaters if Interpretation of data was a matter of science of science or religion. Robert Sungenis said it was a matter of religion, and FTFE said it was a matter of science. My model says it a matter of religion because an interpretation is variant.
I followed FTFE back to his after show and asked some more questions to understand his thought process. I asked him what his definition of a science denier was. FTFE said it was someone who went against the scientific consensus. I asked him if Galileo Galilei was a science denier because he went against the scientific consensus of geocentric model at the time. FTFE told me that Galileo was not a science denier because he was using the scientific method. Why would he he debunk Geocentrism again if it was easy to debunk instead of something hard to debunk that is generally accepted like Galileo did? FTFE told me that science has progressed and that there wasn’t anything that is generally accepted to debunk.
I am now enlightened. FTFE and possibly some other debunkers have the scientific consensus as a religion and they believe in the scientific consensus more than the scientific method otherwise they would have to conclude that Galileo was a science denier at the time following the logic to the conclusion, but if you are following the consensus there is an exception for Galileo because his ideas are currently accepted by the consensus.
The reason why this is important to me. I believe I was harmed by the scientific consensus because it was giving me bad advice that didn’t get me the results I was expecting when I was acting on it. For example. It is the scientific consensus to tell people to not use narcissistic defenses. I took that advice and I was burdened by shame and and locked into a covert borderline state, when I could employ the narcissistic defenses instead and be a primary psychopath state instead. When I ask why now, it is because narcissism and sociopathy are bad by definition. It is pretty much better if I suffer and never achieve any goals rather then me using these forbidden methods. The excuse is that I have to spend all of my money on every therapist and or therapy or I can’t be sure it doesn’t work.
To make this clear, I’m not saying that there is no therapy in theory that can work. I am saying that any therapy that can work is not currently in the scientific consensus for religious reasons.

I wouldn’t consider psychology scientific consensus, more like the state religion, it isn’t even a science and is more about culture. Culture is cult.

It helped me, but it was not Sam Vakning that told me so. I now the guy from NLP scene though.
Etiology of narcissism is not known yet. If diagnosed narcissists describe issues from their upbringing they are the same as for any other personalities with empaths altogether. So upbringing can be some factor but it is not distinctive. And how do you think?
I did some more tests this morning. The set of tests linked from the narcissism subreddit. My results are 16-18 for narcissism aka moderate narcissism, 11 for codependency and 3 for OCD aka OCD unlikely. My classification of covert borderline looks correct but it will also put me in normie range. The post I did promise is still coming but I need to find a way to break my fear.
I need to find or make a psychological model so I can switch between my psychological states at will. In particular I want to have covert borderline as my base state and primary psychopathy as my flow state. MBTI may be a good enough model but functions aren’t states, I need know the function outputs for INTJ so I can forcefully trigger the states I want when I want them. DSM 5 is not good enough because it is an inflexible, design by committee, work from the cathedral, similar to common lisp. It is too hard to use to be useful in practice. I am in a flow state right now because we were trying to be a forecast snow storm at work, which isn’t coming now.
I am making some progress, sarini11 gave me some good tips and introduced me to
C.S. Joseph. It looks like I may be able to use MBTI alone to do what I want, but I would probably make the map because it needs to be done anyway.
Borderline personality disorder sucks. I don’t know why anyone would want it. It sucks when moods control you.
Because I was good yesterday, Eris revealed to me how she manages her states. Instead of avoiding embarrassment and humiliation, she takes it to the chin and pushes through courageously with eyes fixed on the goal. Most people go along with whatever is suggested, and I am considered naughty for coming to my own conclusion anyways. Having me pass this information along to make me feel important is how she is going to keep me complacent.
Certain states of arousal can only be entered via embarrassment and humiliation so in a way it is its own reward. In this way, you can conceptualize psychopaths as arousal addicts.
I did try that.
It looks like I am an existentialist.
