"A normal person deprived of privilege or high position will go about finding and performing some work which will earn him a living; but pathocrats never possessed any solid practical talent, and the time frame of their rule eliminates any residual possibilities of adapting to the demands of normal work. If the laws of normal man were to be reinstated, they and theirs could be subjected to judgment, including a moralizing interpretation of their psychological deviations; they would be threatened by a loss of freedom and life, not merely a loss of position and privilege. Since they are incapable of this kind of sacrifice, the survival of a system which is the best for them becomes a moral imperative. Such a threat must be battled by means of any and all psychological and political cunning implemented with a lack of scruples with regard to those other “inferior quality” people that can be shocking in its depravity."
Glad to be of service as a middleman. Will take 10% commission on the brownie points. The rest goes to Michael McConkey whose substack I quoted: https://thecirculationofelites.substack.com/
Just a few Kunlangeta in key positions can turn the whole organization pathocratic under the right conditions. One of the most important of those conditions is the breakdown of normalcy, when people no longer can rely on their healthy intuitions to recognize and isolate the Kunlangeta.
Reading Kennedy's book leaves little doubt that people like Fauci are sociopathic. If not clinically, then at least functionally (it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck...) And then a combination of insane ideologies (aka "wokeness") and the virus scare created the right conditions for people like him to "shine" and turn the large chunks of government and society into a pathocracy.
Consistently applying the axioms of materialist reductionism - the belief in a world made of matter - is sufficient to induce functional psychopathy.
This is because: the world is made of matter => I am an ephemeral phenomenon => death is the end of me => the highest value is to avoid death at any cost => all other individuals whom I do not fully control are a potential threat which can lead to my death in the long run => I must fully control all other individuals.
This ends in functional psychopathy, even if the person is not disposed to it.
To maintain mental health, a belief in some type of spirituality is absolutely required. There is no workaround.
It IS brilliant. Imagine telling someone thirty years ago that in the near future, a person who likes to pretend to be a dog for sexual gratification would hold an appointee position at the EPA? Or that a man who calls himself a woman would be the Surgeon General? Let alone that the titular head of NIH would help push the entire globe into their houses for almost two years? It would’ve seemed more reasonable to claim that the senate would hold UFO hearings. Oh right. Well that’s why no one gives a damn about aliens. Unless they landed in my yard and offered me cookies and said, “It actually is a cookbook” besides, what could they do that’s more unbelievable than the past two years?
About twelve years ago, after reading "The Professor and the Madman" I tried to introduce the descriptive term "Bimbocrat" into the lexicon, after my cousin's story of being "Pursued by the Bimbocracy."
Sadly, little traction so far.
I looked at the initial reports of the DMED corruption and thought that they implied that the US could not field a competent combat formation. This was the real issue with the aircraft carrier captain asking for help when his crew was covid-decimated- he was "giving comfort to the enemy" by revealing that his command was not combat capable.
I still suffer a little cognitive dissonance when I consider that neither the US armed forces or the CCP (Shanghai lockdown!) instituted a little prophylactic ivermectin. If it worked in Uttar Pradesh...

A similar quote from Andrzej Lobaczewski [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_ponerology] (brought down here https://thecirculationofelites.substack.com/p/anarcho-tyranny-and-the-psychorium):
"A normal person deprived of privilege or high position will go about finding and performing some work which will earn him a living; but pathocrats never possessed any solid practical talent, and the time frame of their rule eliminates any residual possibilities of adapting to the demands of normal work. If the laws of normal man were to be reinstated, they and theirs could be subjected to judgment, including a moralizing interpretation of their psychological deviations; they would be threatened by a loss of freedom and life, not merely a loss of position and privilege.

Yes! I learned a new word, and it's an important one.
It is also relevant to some upcoming writings. Thank you.

Substack has so many amazing writers, it really blows me away.
Yes!

What a term. I like it

Now THAT is a very interesting idea....screen for narcissism....
You put that very well, thank you.
