[OT?] Prof Sam Vaknin: Watch This to Make Sense of the World

[3bid]

Prof. Sam Vaknin CURRICULUM VITAE/Biography
Professor of Psychology, Department of Psychology
Southern Federal University

These are chaotic confusing times and we are all baffled puzzled worried a trifle paranoid wary cautious self-isolating long before social distancing. We all reach out and retreat, approach avoidance because the world had become an enigma wrapped in a puzzle embedded in a mystery.
We no longer feel at home...

Hi Sam! Thank you for posting this! "Ideology is the poor man's philosophy" is such a good quote. I also like that you pointed out that the elites are like an "elite cloud." Everything I watch on this topic makes it sound like the elites are a bunch of people in some room planning out the fate of the world and then I can't take the information seriously. This was very helpful and much appreciated!

Thanks for this. I often find myself under heavy attack from the voice of my parents, society, media, peers, various implanted ideologies etc. when I opt out, which is something I have been gradually doing more or less succesfully since the crash in 2008, where a lot of what you are stating here became quite obvious. Are there ways of integrating nothingness into ones life with compassion and care for oneself, and a deep sense of feeling whole from such a lonely realisation ? I often find myself in a despairing, loneliness from this opting out, even though the pain of staying in all these hurtfull implanted patterns are far worse ?. Thanks again for all the videos.

Prof. Sam Vaknin
You haven't attained nothingness as long as you equate aloneness with loneliness.

I find his talk sufficiently interesting on many critical strong points. Especially the concluding statements of guidance on what's smart and possible to do now. It's worth the listen to hear out for his ideas about the controlling elite, for an historical account and more accurate conceptualizing to allow for an awareness of failures and understanding of finalizing events now in progress.

If existing outside the 'we all' can create an effective exclusion zone beyond reach of a persistent elite global menace, count me in. Otherwise and either way, a personal epilogue to the story is an immediate time limited window of creative opportunity, IMO. My perspective may have flaws, but even fractional intuition allows for radical insight beyond the limits of an intellectually derived objectivity. I'd love to transcend the challenge of process and need for remedy, for peace of mind and due to a distaste for misdirecting interpretations from ineffective saviors, soapboxed mile markers in excess on the pathway to hell.

A fatality zone is infinitely expanded by psychopathy, now fully active in a collective sweep of humanity. The twist, a random wildcard event outside the reactive avoidance speed and ability of a wealth and power fortified enemy, cerebrally  armed with a whip and chain mentality, seeking destructive suicidal fixes whenever control is ultimately threatened. Are 'we all' blended as victims and end-stage exterminators of tyranny, as the flat earth violently spins itself around and round again?

And, thus, I transcend to digress and step into the drama quieting zone of shut-eye.
