To this, I would point out the rather amusing reconstruction that is taking place in the international medical definitions of psychiatric conditions: they are Erasing Psychopathy, Narcissism, etc. personality disorders from the book of diagnostics. Isn't that convenient?

They are leaving Bipolar in, which gives a nostalgic dash of the early days of hysterectomies / hysteria – so we are entering a world where the Bipolar label is allowed to exist and be doled out, but there is no such thing as a psychopathic leader.

Dear Mathew,

I re-signed as a paid subscriber. I didn’t have time to read your work. But “Thank You” for sending it anyway. I realize now how precious you are just by taking some time in my day to read what you say. I won’t comment much Mathew Crawford but be assured I am so grateful you are here on this earth. I realize we cannot multiply a person though I wish we could multiply you. Nevertheless as dividers seek to divide us down to our inner core, I take solace that you are fighting the fight

for those rational principles which is what makes us eventually….if not already…fully human.

Drawn in by the "Click-baity" headline! I get the sense someone focus-grouped Harry's image and discovered he was too "beta-male." So in an effort to rehabilitate his image, his publicists interviewed their client and decided to have him admit to killing people. What they failed to realize is that killing people is not an actual aspirational trait of a self-actualized human male. The end result is that he comes off as a murderous "beta male."

Harry just put a target on himself and the Royal Family for his comment about 25 kills.

He reduced human beings to chess pieces on a board. The Taliban won't forget.

Psycopaths. Thank you.

I laughed out loud at this one - "Prince Harry's presumed autobiographical book of stuff that somebody typed" 😂

Answer to your question - Yes!

I love reading your work Mathew, and I’m grateful for the additional angles you bring to the story bc when I see the word or picture ‘Harry’ (or Meghan) I find myself immediately moving on to something else less irritating or in this case disturbing. It would seem that Harry has eliminated any chance of going back to where he came from, and unless msm no longer have use for another distraction he will continue this unfortunate trail of both trite and stomach churning personal exposure of which I personally feel is wrapped in a disturbing ‘reality tv’ that US media find useful.

We can't see the video in UK from Lasso Group. Blocked on copyright grounds it says!

Yes, great observations Corollaries:

1) Psychopaths get fooled more often by other psychopaths because their behavior looks normal.

2) Some people with psychopathic tendencies predicted our current scene early on.

I really wish that Harry and Meghan would move to Mongolia and live happily ever after, and never be heard from again. They just need to go away.

The history and the story of the DSM itself is quite shocking. This lecture "Psychiatry & Big Pharma: Exposed - Dr James Davies, PhD" is well worth a watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Nd40Uy6tbQ

This may be relevant to the DoD DMED:

Apparently, it's not so much the CDC but the DoD that's been pulling the strings. The vaccine was classified as a "countermeasure prototype" under a EUA, thereby avoiding safety testing, liability, oversight, informed consent requirements, and manufacturing controls.

Oh God, too many $10 words.

What Harry doesn't realise is that the divorce is the next act. Markle is trash, but she's no dummy. Harry has already burned his bridges back in Britain (NO ONE crosses Camilla and lives!) so there's no way back for him. I predict a mysterious California beach death in, say, early 2025. Perhaps earlier.
