Personality Disorders and Power

[Kimmio Laughterlove]

I think Anti-social personality disorders might be a problem the universe gave humans since the beginning (the symbolic snake in Genesis, a metaphorical “carrier”?); and they were carried on to today - some sort of evolutionary glitch. Maybe it was necessary for dinosaurs to have such traits - harshness and cruelty in hostile conditions. Or maybe they were God’s trial run. Modern mammals share DNA with them still.

I understand that there are both genetic and social-environmental components involved in whether or not a person develops a full blown dark personality disorder. Some people carry the gene, but because of positive influences around them during early development, maybe they don’t develop a full blown disorder. Others might not have a disorder either, but pick up maladaptive traits from their learned environments. The former group doesn’t seem to be able to self correct their behaviour. The latter can. It needs to be looked at as a spectrum of mental illness with hope of treatment rather than a something inevitable, though - as in, a search for treatments and cures should be a major priority.


Before putting people in positions of power, and for determining whose intentions are actually good, maybe there needs to be a way to screen for that. A humane process, that doesn’t diminish the humanity of the disordered person, but also makes sure others are safe from their influence unless and until there’s adequate treatment. And looking to the future, it should be seen as an illness that requires intensive research into treatment and cure.

The world would be a better place for everybody.

Then, after I wrote the OP, I came across this article. How did this man get this way? It’s so extreme. At this point, he’s not in control. And I wouldn’t be surprised if there were more diagnoses that could be tacked on. He can’t help it obviously - and that’s as sad as it is scary and repugnant. He’s a very damaged person obviously. Where’s his family? Maybe hiding? And although I have stated my mistrust for expanded involuntary care in the age of MAiD - there has to be a place to put people like this, to receive adequate care and support. Humanely, but away from the rest of society - unless, before he’s released back into society, he can be treated and cured to the point where he is not dangerous. Cared for by people who know how, not further abused or abandoned to death (I wouldn’t doubt if he was abused somewhere along the line which wouldn’t help).

Some of this wasn’t explained clearly. I don’t think those with full blown dark personality disorders can change, but those with learned behaviours can.

I think different criteria - always humane - need to be applied to helping such people. The problem with having those with dark personality disorders in positions of influence and power is that they may not care about humane criteria. It makes the world a worse place. I think we’re seeing more of that today - as well as the learned behaviours that follow - which also make it worse. And the world has seen it happen before in various times and places.

Let us first inspect the great darkness before we get into interpretation ... there's a job no one sees coming ... Ness eh?

Something always lost in the process ... e' phi Casey? Expect conjunctions and "fey" activity ... some say as ephemeral as the lady of the shadows ... powerfully pushed out of sight?

Many will not go there ... as James Reeves sung ... turn the juke box down ... in there a jew id item of concern ... an opening?

Imagine opening hearts and mine fields in theis (thy) environment ... encompass that! Word jumble ... chaos ...

You share the same sickness as DT though, is what I am seeing (unless you can unlearn your behaviour). Just different politics. Your MO won’t make the world better. It won’t, Luce. You want to spread a sickness.
