"The most dangerous psychological mistake is the projection of the shadow on to others; this is the root of almost all conflicts." -Carl Jung

It feels like we're living through an era of extreme projection by the most nefarious sorts. But the truth is simply that we're stepping out of an era in which mass projection was successful insofar as it was cost effective.

These days, one person documenting a contradiction can quickly demonstrate proof that can spread as virally as the lie.

Once you recognize the pattern, you begin to see it often. It's ubiquitous among those whose power depends on control. The psychological profile of the Kunlangeta is stamped on society through the flaws in the organization of our economic incentive structures. Technology's (a)symmetry problem ensures the result, encoded in a mind virus, implanted in the youth.


Maybe pot smoking is the variable that suddenly changed everything just recently? Or temperatures rising? Maybe somebody should check out the heart attack rates closer to the equator. That would be genius!

Just so we're clear on the whole myocarditis thing, I have never personally seen a single case in 13+ years in emergency medicine. Not one. Pericarditis yes. Do they occur? Sure. But not like this. Pediatric strokes? Come on now.

I'm no expert in Jungian psychology, but my test for psychological concepts is how they grow on me as I meditate on them. Maybe I'm suddenly projecting when I see projection everywhere? Or maybe it really is all getting louder. Louder means the footsteps are getting closer.

Confession through projection. And a total lack of self-awareness that would be funny if it weren’t so sad.

I do not think most people fully appreciate the disinformation campaign taking place right now in right-wing media to de-legitimize Biden as President-elect. It has totally saturated coverage. It's everywhere.

I recently subscribed to VivaFreiBarnes at Locals.com. I find Frei and Barnes to be crisp and educational. Even if by some strange twist I never again find any of their discussions compelling, the succinct phrasing of this concept, which is part of the mass psychosis unraveling, is pure gold. This is another example of what I see as "new media as educators/education", where the masses can reject the mainstream media for a combination of education and reality after coming to grips with various flavors of Gell-Mann amnesia. Viva Frei may have popularized the phrase "confession through projection", though I haven't found out for certain whether he was the first to use it. Either way, it's a t-shirt now.

so, i was reading in this psych textbook about how “there is no limit to the creativity of the hallucinatory landscapes the human mind can create for itself to avoid accepting a simple obvious truth.”

but it kinda seemed like mumbo jumbo to me.

but jeez you guys, they weren’t kidding around, were they?

Finally you can laugh a bit ...

Financing of such authors by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, obviously, is nothing to worry about.

Biggest bullshit ever they have no shame. Coffee acts as a blood thinner, so it's rather the opposite. There is some preliminary research that caffeine may increase the coagulation factor during heavy workout,but that's it. Asshoes!

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11476281/What-headline-Gaslighting-Merriam-Websters-word-2022.html


'Gaslighting' has been named the word of 2022 by dictionary Merriam-Webster after a 1,740 per cent surge in searches for the expression on its website in a year. ...

Gaslighting causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one's emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator.

It is a tool usually used by abusers in relationships and by politicians and other newsmakers.

Why wouldn't they think the public is generally this stupid? They convinced most people that we were in a pandemic for a disease that has a 99.8% survival rate, and convinced most people that a vaccine with a completely new technology was developed by 4 companies at the same time.

Not to mention all the wars they convinced the public was worth fighting.

People ARE dumb. Just accept it and get over it.

When WASTING YOUR TIME, reading propaganda, go to the middle or end of the article:

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/15/health/covid-dead-bodies.html


The research has not yet been vetted for publication in a scientific journal, but outside experts (i.e. nameless sources i.e. the author totally made this shit up) said that the studies were well-done and the results compelling.
