This was very interesting. ThankYou.

I’m interested in Peter Thiel. Any insight into this truly bizarre, malevolent dude?

Thank you for the kind words & most welcome. Oh, do I have insights on that reptile, but for obvious & not so obvious reasons, I choose to mostly only discuss the 🐍 in private.

I'm wondering if extreme wealth can turn a decent human being into a reptile, or if they have to be predisposed? And, are they ever happy or contented? I almost pity them because they are incapable of loving or feeling loved. What a miserable life that must be.

There are a lot of fine lines in your ?s, but it could be a useful article. Thanks for the 💡

Generally, extreme wealth can turn a decent human quite narcissistic because they become detached from being a normal, they become 🎯s for predators, & people line up to enable their worst instincts & never tell them "no" or the truth.

However, reptilians, imo, are mostly born or at least highly predisposed to be so cold-blooded, but again, there are a lot of subtle factors that ebb & flow in how it happens.

Sadly, any happiness, contentment, or love is fleeting at best, because even for those who have the capacity to feel such things, since they are trying to fill a bottomless hole inside themselves, they can never really appreciate what they have & will always need more to soothe themselves.

Indeed, it is a sad & tragic life, which seems to be why many want everyone else as miserable as they are.

Good point about spreading their misery. Trump is positively sadistic, as if anyone else's happiness must come at his personal expense. And yet he wants everyone around him to be smiling, as long as they are smiling because they are so delighted to be in his presence. No wonder his friends/accomplices are such broken souls.

Thank you for all your help in understanding the narcissists in my life, I have always been an easy target for them, thanks to my father who I hero-worshipped for 50 years.

Great quote by Don Tzu. I thought for awhile as a science communicator about creating a Mammals party messaging to promote Earth-first values like sustainability and renewables, but balked because of how impossible it is to get a signal above the Rape-tiles.

Consider messaging that uses narcissist psychology that works on a subconscious level.

Lol my brain won’t let me be shady :)

Sam Ray's avatar

It’s not shady if it’s honest. If you send me a few of your 💡s, I’ll show how.

I might take you up on that someday

Do it. I fully back environmental values. There is no Planet B.

Well, I am a science communicator, poet, and professor, and not really into politics…but we have to make being ignorant, unsustainability, and greed the biggest immoralities of our time, as in pig disgusting, without sounding communist, because the future hates us for those sins if we even have a future beyond 2100 with the encroaching climate collapse. Distilling all of life into what Clifford Geertz called “biophilic” or life-loving, versus life-destroying.
