Questioning Me
Do feel free to ask me anything you like. I am here for you to dip into my mind and for you to benefit from learning how I view the world. No question is off limits and if you want to establish a dialogue with me, then so much the better. You will be helping me so I can show the treatment team that I am interacting with people in this setting. You can ask me why I do certain things, what am I thinking, what my favourite food is, whatever you like. This is your chance to extract as much knowledge and information from me as you possibly can. If you want to just make a statement, go ahead. Fill your boots. I don’t know you so I won’t fly into a rage (this does happen when people I know question me but that is because they have an agenda – you don’t because we don’t know one another). I look forward to hearing from you.

Is depth possible in the absence of love, Tudor?
The rapture in your writing betrays the spirit of a poet. I wonder if the void extends into your unconscious, or the unconscious keeps a recondite memory of a Love RMX of you
A high level of cognitive function has the capacity to generate depth from a different place.
Hello dear Jade,
I want to thank you for what I have read in your comments regarding my contributions. I recognise your higher emotional empathy and also your beautiful fragility, and it is important to me to let you know that you will not receive any reactions from me that you need to fear. The same goes for Rachel. I loved the Wasabi song. You are absolutely welcome to comment to me in whatever style and manner you see fit. I see the place it comes from.
Also, regarding the conversations mentioned, to those with whom I share the same wavelength, thank you. I do not want to overdo it. You will know why. I do not want the ladies I became entangled with to spike in Emotional Thinking again because of what they might interpret as favouritism.
Another thing which caught my attention was the discussion of “It costs nothing to be polite”.
Let me shed some light on what the cost actually is.
An example is when LucifersLolita wandered in.
LucifersLolita: “You sad silly sluts.”
HG: “Easy, with the ad hominem attacks.”
And that was it. Nothing more from HG. No judgement. That is the gift of safety you all benefit from on this platform, and yet often complain about not feeling safe.
I am relaxed enough around HG to swear when I feel like it, or to be angry, loving, critical, supportive, or whatever my mind and observations produce. Safe, because HG does not judge. He does not make you feel wrong, he explains things. He provides safety through transparency and non judgement.
My trust is the currency and I pay with honesty.
Do you really believe it is so difficult to put on an act, presenting an identity that is always polite, ideal or perfect? It is not. But it comes with a cost, one you may have been paying your whole life, trying to please and fit the criteria for being “chosen” because of your good manners, politeness or kindness, even though you may be fuming inside. Emotional Thinking is, of course, part of it.
It is not for everyone. If being consistently polite comes naturally to you, even when you are angry, that is fine. As long as you do not lie to yourself that you are an ideal example of politeness, empathy, authenticity or a better version of a person compared to narcissists, or compared to those who simply do not present according to your ideal image of empathy or what a human being should be.
Ladies, I’ve gone back and read everything. Yes, I’m looking mainly at you, Leigh, AV and AA.
HG and his platform are a blessing for realisation. I’m truly amazed!
Your feeling of insignificance made you spiral down on your own, day after day after day. I did not even need to be present and Emotional Thinking did the job. You destroyed yourself while thinking you were destroying me.
I wish you healing from the mental abuse you put yourself through in your own mind again and again, even though I doubt it is possible. Still, I wish you well.
Hello my favourite filthy, filthy beast! Who would have thought that, of all the videos, the filthiest one would activate me again and make me want to share with you… There were times in my life when I would seek treasures in dumpsters, and in hindsight it grounds you; it brings one down from one’s own pedestal of idealisation. Very helpful, in case filth is one of your biggest fears. Its potential is hidden and rarely used by the “ideally clean” ones…
I had to laugh at the “egg in a corpse”. I’ve only ever witnessed the decomposition of a deer around my property. The smell was indeed the nastiest thing ever, but I had to go and look and find out. Pure awe at how nature took care of decomposition! An army of necrophages dealt with the cadaver effectively and incredibly fast. And if you think of it in comparison, all the animals shit and die in the forest all the time, yet the forest smells clean and healthy. People go to the forest to get fresh air. Now compare that with a city, incapable of producing fresh air ever, where true filth masks itself as better, as higher up, as advanced and evolved.
The comments under the video are amusing. Commenters avoiding looking in the mirror… “Small and ancient” was funny too. The more ancient, the cleaner, actually. But where the ancient meets civilisation, the dumpster culture of avoiding cleaning up your own shite begins…
HG, any thoughts on Eileen Gu pertaining to narcissism? 🙃
I saw a clip of her which certainly supported the existence of narcissistic indicators but I have not looked at anything beyond that.
When one of your clients dies (dropping out of your fuel matrix like that is very naughty of course), how does it affect your confidentiality agreements?
The client continues to abide by the necessity of confidence with 100% effectiveness.
Hi HG! I was wondering if you have had occasion to see the new Wuthering Heights? What did you think? Or if not, will you watch in the future? Although not faithful to the book, I think you will find it quite tantalizing, despite the liberties.
No, I have not and whilst Margot Robbie is easy on the eye and a reasonable enough actress, I am not minded to watch it given the reviews I have read about it.
In recent days, several news programs have featured interviews with Gisele Pelicot, the French woman who was drugged by her husband who raped her and invited dozens of other men to do the same.
After watching two of the interviews on YouTube, it was interesting to read people’s comments about them.
One comment mentioned an experiment conducted by a Canadian journalist, Hugo Meunier. A year after the Pelicot trial, Meunier wondered whether a similar scenario could occur in his native Quebec. He decided to see what would happen if he posted a staged advertisement on an online ‘fantasy’ dating site in which he would invite men to have sex with his unconscious wife.
At first, Meunier believed it was unlikely that his fake ad would garner interest due to Quebec’s general social and cultural norms regarding gender equity and safety.
Meunier was surprised to see the reaction to his advertisment. In less than ten minutes, five interested men responded. In 48 hours after the ad was posted, 105 men had replied. Of the 105 men, only three mentioned anything about consent.
Therefore, although the Pelicot case caused shockwaves around the world due to its heinous nature, it would seem that it is not such an isolated case, as horrifying as that sounds.
The experiment can be found on YouTube with the title: ‘SURVEY: 100 men ready to sleep with our sleeping wife’.
After watching this video, I thought about the likelihood of the men who had responded being narcissists.
After a little research, I found that men – especially teenagers and young men – who regularly watch porn experience changes to their brains. In particular, it stimulates the release of dopamine as well as cortisol and testosterone.
The unnaturally high dopamine levels that occur due to regular consumption of porn rewire the brain and change the brain’s reward circuitry. The dopamine spikes can lead to a compulsive need to watch more porn (and more extreme kinds of porn) in order to get the same dopamine surge, similar to the effect of being addicted to drugs. Also, increased cortisol levels can lead to aggressive behaviours.
Over time, regular porn use can cause damage to the executive functioning regions of the brain that control impulsive behaviours and decision-making. It also causes desensitisation, leading to other people being seen as objects for consumption rather than individuals of value.
I think it’s interesting that the effects of regular porn consumption lead to brain and personality changes that are very similar to narcissistic and psychopathic traits. The dopamine surges and rewiring of the brain’s reward circuitry sound the same as the effects of dopamine and impulsivity in a narcissist’s brain. Porn use also leads to other people being seen as, and used like, objects, similar to narcissists.
Ah, those French Canadian boys with their porn and poutine are always getting up to no good.
Interesting WN. That makes sense. Also, that story was horrendous wasn’t it. Talk about not knowing who you’re married to. 😬 Its good that the UK are following suit with hopefully stricter social media controls for kids.
Hi two,
The Pelicot case is horrible – absolutely horrendous. It’s sickening. Gisele Pelicot could have died considering the sedatives her husband drugged her with over a period of nine years. The thought of having lived with, having trusted, having children with, and having shared your life and efforts with someone who was actively drugging and raping you, who thought so little of you, would be devastating. In all honesty, I think her husband deserves the death penalty.
It makes me think that some men are worse than chimps. Testosterone and cortisol have deformed and eroded the limited brain cells and malfunctioning synapses they have. Entitlement has finished off their innate dysfunction.
It surprises me that Gisele Pelicot hasn’t changed her surname back to her maiden name. I would have thought she would want to distance herself (and her children and grandchildren) as much as possible from the Pelicot name.
While listening to the interviews with Gisele, there were two aspects about what she said that I thought were interesting.
Gisele said that when she was first told by police about her husband’s actions and shown videos of herself being raped while unconscious, she had a dissociative reaction. She didn’t recognise herself. She couldn’t believe that the person in the videos was her. She distanced herself from what the police were telling her and she needed time to process the situation.
This ‘dissociation’ sounds, to me, like she had a visceral bodily reaction of shock. The truth of what her husband was doing was so repellent and repulsive that she couldn’t believe or comprehend it. Her mind recoiled from it.
Now that Gisele has gone through the legal trial and has written a book, her general attitude currently is that life goes on and it’s important to find the joy and hope in life.
The stark contrast between her initial visceral shock and dissociation at first learning of the abuse compared with her current optimism is similar to a case of black and white thinking.
It makes me think that people in general cling to an idealised and ‘intellectually palatable’ view of life because it’s easier than being conscious of an ugly and repellent truth. The need to be idealistic and hopeful is an instinctive reaction. If we were to be constantly and consciously aware of an ugly and repellent truth, it would make ‘living’ and ‘surviving’ so difficult as to be impossible.
Thank you for your reply, two.
I realise I have responded to you with a long comment. This is something I have a habit of doing. I process my thoughts by writing about them in order to better understand something. Thank you for helping me do this.
I agree with you that stricter social media controls for kids is definitely a positive thing. People would not let their kids have open access to drugs or poisons that would be addictive and harmful to them. Yet, children are becoming hooked on the internet before they can even walk and talk.
Dearest WN,
Very very interesting, thank you
I researched this and they refer to it as somnophilia (it’s so reassuring they label it with a soft soak name)
Legally, a sleeping person (predatory paraphilia) cannot consent, which then makes it assault or rape, regardless of whether the perpetrator has this “sleep disorder”
Psychologically, research suggest it stems from issues related to control, dominance possibly originating from childhood etc
You’re totally correct WN
I came across this article online which also talked about “ordinary” porn. After watching, the males sexual dopamine hit increases. The material content escalates to various levels, even to child porn. Of course algorithms also play a huge part.
Doesn’t excuse their behaviour however. Has no man ever heard of self restraint/ control or accountability regardless if one does have high testosterone levels? Heaven forbid !!!!
That’s why they have brothels !!!
The Guardian published an article in April 2025,
Article headline begins
“I didn’t start out wanting to see kids’: are porn algorithms feeding a generation of paedophiles – or creating one?
More than 850 men a month are arrested for online child abuse offences in England and Wales. They come from every walk of life : teachers, police officers, doctors, TV presenters. The numbers are rising every year. How did this happen ?
Then article goes into detail
Australia’s apparently very high on the list in the world for online child porn as well
The rise in under age rape in the “western” country domain has increased alarmingly so, as well all know.
Entitlement, violence, dominance, control, or does one pass it off as more self centred and rewarding self gratification? Doesn’t that all equate to the lack of empathy ?
Let’s not forget social media (which has a lot to answer for) combined with drugs, alcohol, substances, then add food chemicals into the equation, all make for a toxic combination. It would appear very “narcissistic” in appearance for sure.
Thoughts, Mr Tudor ?
Hi Asp, 👋
I hope you’re well. ❤️ I started a new thread as I couldn’t reply on our previous conversation for some reason.
I’ve gone down a research rabbit hole 🤓🐰⚫ have you heard of rccx gene theory? Very interesting and I think ties into what we’ve been talking about re HSPs and autism (and chronic illness in my case)… 🤔
Hi to, yes, I have come across the rccx gene theory. Maybe there are already groups of scientists working on intervening DNA ‘mis-firing’ in order to create humans that are not born with “defects”, to reduce the impact on future generations. Yet, in my opinion, this is not necessarily the answer as it would not be equally distributed, or, accepted worldwide because of impositions, boundaries etc due to conflicting views / reactions to as such. Think of the theory of Noah’s Ark, it is not practically possible. Too many narcissists in posistions of power either colliding, or, in cementation against other narcissists who may not be in positions of power yet can cause kingdoms to fall. The handling of the Covid Pandemic, as a prime example.
Hi two,
Your comment about rccx gene theory is interesting.
I hadn’t heard of this gene theory until now. After googling it and reading two or three sources of information about it, I can see that there may be some truth to it, however, I also find that it’s very general and covers a lot of ground that could just as well be false.
The thing that I find interesting about rccx gene theory in particular is the effects of stress on the CYP21A2 gene. Apparently, mutations in this gene occur where the body cannot produce enough cortisol under stress. This can lead to a “fight or flight” overload; chronic fatigue; and potential mitochondrial dysfunction.
Over the years that I’ve been reading and learning about the high number of wide-ranging aspects of mental health, and overall health generally, the effects of elevated cortisol and stress in general consistently come up in all manner of health-related ways.
Elevated cortisol is unhealthy in many ways. It affects things like hormonal balance, digestion, thyroid function, stem cells, the way cells and nerves function, energy levels, blood pressure, inflammation, weight gain/loss, reproduction, the gut-mind axis, psychological problems, etc, etc. The list goes on.
In many health-related problems, the reasons underlying the problem include “high levels of stress” and the treatment includes “stress reduction”.
Therefore, I think that the rccx gene theory may have some limited truth, but there would have to be more testing done to really pinpoint how the specific genes are reacting to environmental factors.
Take one example…
For many years, my FOO had caused me stress in various, ongoing ways. Over that time, I would say that I was both an HSP and ‘high-functioning’ in that I didn’t have problematic anxiety or depression. Yes, I did feel anxious and depressed at certain times, but I think it wasn’t any more or less than anybody else.
The anxiety and depression that became problematic occurred when I was in my mid-forties after many years. Before the problematic anxiety and depression, I experienced a number of difficult and life-changing situations one after the other in addition to a lack of support and callous treatment by others. I think the anxiety and depression would have happened to many people and probably much sooner than it happened to me.
The rccx gene theory sounds a little backward in some ways too. It sounds like it’s blaming the genes (or the victim) for reacting to abuse.
For example, it’s like saying, “If I punch you and you feel pain, it’s because of your pain receptors.” Or, “If I crash into the back of your car, it’s not because of my own anti-social behaviour; it’s because you were too focused on the road rules.”
I know that genes may actually respond in certain ways under certain conditions, however, I believe it’s the conditions that are more ‘at fault’ rather than the genes.
Mr. Tudor,
I’m curious, have you been following the Nancy Guthrie case at all? If so, do you have any thoughts on Chris Nanos, the Sheriff of Pima County? He seems to be incompetent. But there’s more than that too. There’s a lot of half truths and no where near the truth coming out of his mouth.
Any other thoughts you may have in general about the case would be appreciated as well. Its a very odd case.
I’ve not been following the case, Leigh.
Dear HG,
I’m glad to read you’re watching the Guthrie case. I’m very interested in your opinion on the case. Xx
In reference to the Somali-based fraud in Minnesota, (reported by Nick Shirley in a YouTube video posted on 26 Dec, 2025), I have come across an article that pre-dates Nick Shirley’s video.
The article, published in ‘City Journal’ and dated 19 Nov, 2025, detailed the same fraudulent activity.
Based in New York, ‘City Journal’ is described as the USA’s “premier urban-policy magazine”. Its ‘About’ page says the magazine “holds itself to the highest intellectual, journalistic, and literary standards”.
Founded in 1990 by the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, the quarterly publication covers a range of public policy and non-policy related topics.
In November 2025, an article in ‘City Journal’ described in detail the Somali-based fraud that has been perpetrated for years in Minnesota.
The article particulars are:
Title: “The Largest Funder of Al-Shabaab Is the Minnesota Taxpayer” How some of the state’s welfare funds ended up in the hands of a terror group.
Authors: Ryan Thorpe; Christopher F. Rufo
Date: Nov, 19, 2025.
The following paragraph is in the introduction of the article:
“Our investigation shows what happens when a tribal mindset meets a bleeding-heart bureaucracy, when imported clan loyalties collide with a political class too timid to offend, and when accusations of racism are cynically deployed to shield criminal behavior. The predictable result is graft, with taxpayers left to foot the bill.”
For anyone who is interested, it is a very telling article. It’s well worth reading. It covers essentially the same information Nick Shirley covers in his video, but does it in a much more detailed and explanatory way.
_______________________________
Comparing the Somali-based fraud in Minnesota with the ramped up deployment of ICE agents in Minneapolis, it is clear that the two issues are separate and disparate.
The aggravated and indiscriminate arrests and detainment of thousands of immigrants by ICE has very little or nothing to do with targeting, unravelling and dismantling the fraudulent Somali-based activities.
Hi WN
You didn’t mention (I don’t know if you are aware) that the MIFPR which publishes City Journal is a right wing think tank. It’s part of the State Policy Network, a group of around 150 US think tanks which focus on and promote right wing priorities such as reducing the welfare state, eliminating union activity and minimising environmental action. It’s a publication which has a significant bias. I mention it because you’ve provided a background for the article but not added what I’d consider a valuable detail. Biased publications always favour some facts and perspectives while ignoring others, and tend to use biased language. Left leaning publications do this too. I find it irritating there as well, (but I notice it less because it’s also my bias.)
Hi annaamel,
When I was looking into the Somali-based fraud in Minnesota, I happened to find the article in ‘City Journal’. At the time, I wasn’t focused on either right-wing or left-wing (or centrist) publications or sources.
Before locating the City Journal article, I wanted to find credible information from a source that was professional (i.e. an established and well-regarded publication rather than a ‘random’ or non-journalistic YouTube video).
My focus was on the information in the article rather than the political leanings of the publication. For example, I was interested in factual details more than editorial opinion.
When it comes to City Journal and the MIFPR, I hadn’t heard of either of them prior to finding the one article that I’ve mentioned. I didn’t know anything about either the journal or the institute.
Upon reading the article, I did notice that it had a right-wing leaning, however, I didn’t think there was exaggerated right-wing beliefs or bias that motivated the way the article was written. I thought the factual nature of the article was the main point.
Regarding the ‘facts’ stated in the article, I did question the accuracy of the numbers in relation to the millions of dollars in welfare funds. The article noted the annual increase in welfare funds allocated to specific welfare programs in Minnesota. The funds increased by many millions each year over successive years. While reading, I wondered how government funding could escalate by so much, (i.e. $US20million or more from one year to another). It seemed very excessive to me, as though there were no limits or regulatory oversight which seems very unusual.
Other facts – such as the names of the Somalians who were criminally indicted – were detailed in a way that was neutral (i.e. without political bias). I didn’t think such explicit ‘facts’ were questionable because they could be fact-checked and substantiated.
Overall, I don’t read the City Journal on a regular basis. With regard to the one article I have mentioned, I evaluated the article itself on its individual merits, which I thought were generally realistic, factual and unbiased on the whole. There were some judgements in the article that I noticed were critical of Minnesota’s Democratic government, however, I didn’t think these criticisms were due to an unreasonable or unfounded political bias.
annaamel,
For what it’s worth, I find I also have a left-leaning political bias in general. If we were looking at a spectrum, I think I’d place myself slightly left of centre.
Having said this – and more importantly – I consider individual cases with regard to the details of an individual case.
In the case of Somali-based fraud in Minnesota, my views are that it’s criminal behaviour enabled by the government that happens to be in power. I think such criminal behaviour can be enabled by governments of any kind.
Hi HG,
I hope you’re well.
I was listening to “psychopath: the problem with pictures” and whilst you are obviously a psychopath and narcissist from your own awareness and seeing the good doctors etc, I wondered if you were ever assessed regarding autism too alongside these? Psychopathy seems quite like some aspects of autism (however with a lack of empathy which isn’t the case in autistic people) in my eyes. The logic, the literal-ness etc…
Thank you 🙏
No, autism is not applicable.
Thank you HG.
Good morning, Mr. Tudor.
I was curious, do you watch the Olympics at all? If so, do you have a particular sport you like to watch?
I have been watching some of the Winter Olympics at the moment, I have taken an interest in the biathlon events.
Its pleasing to hear about the things you take an interest in. Thank you for sharing, Mr. Tudor.
Lol .. I thought biathlons sounded rather dangerous till my husband explained they don’t shoot and ski at the same time 🤦♀️😂😂😂 hahaha .. my idea is better I think!!
I have been toying with it… want to see if your detector can know me as well as I do… And whether my self-mapping of school, cadre and percentages is tight.
Perish the thought I should crack this Enigma before MMCMXC a.D.! 18 answers click, the rest are either dead ends or forks… You’ve got Neptune hostage in your hedge maze
Hello Laura,
If I may ask, why Neptune ? You love powerful, bearded men holding a trident?
Or she likes icy individuals that will make your eyes water and orbits near Uranus.
Dangerous where you orbit, individual… it gets so wet down there you might slip in and go deeper.
Neptune’s the blue planet, Arya. Monarch of the Sea Of Sin is far more apt for the male version of me.
Hello, I’m fuming! I was going to vote ‘Narcissistic’ on HG’s Fergie poll, but decided on empath! This was largely influenced by watching some interviews. At least I guessed Epstein correctly.
That was a good study, HG, thanks for your diligence.
You are welcome.
Hello I’m looking for any articles related to when the narcissist is a sibling , specifically a sister , do you have any and what’s the title I did a search but couldn’t find any
Answered in respect of your post under “Why the Narcissist Views in Black and White Only”
Hi Mari,
I was torn between narcissistic and CoD empath. I ended up leaning toward CoD empath. I saw comments from Two & 1WhoCares and they both leaned toward CoD too. It was a tough one for sure! I kept thinking that her poor judgement was her inability to make a decision for herself and thought it was attributed to her being CoD. I guess she’s just dumb.
I read somewhere this week that she wracked up huge bills with personal trainers, hairdressers etc where they’d wait around for hours for her to arrive so would understandably bill her for their time. She sounds very entitled now I read more and know HGs result on her.
Hi Leigh, thanks for that! She might have something else going on that contributes to poor choice making…or maybe she’s just a bit stoopid as you suggest! Definitely a bit of a daftie, in my opinion.
I got confused with her too Mari. I was wavering between normal and narcissistic and then started wondering about codependent empath at the last minute! Exposing her girls to Epstein and her money making ventures spells narcissistic in hindsight.
Hello Two, thank you for your insights. I found this an interesting Tudorscope. I just get a bit cross if I am guessing one way and it’s t’other. The self flagellation is brief, then I have a cup of tea and a biscuit and it all goes away!
Tea and biscuits always help Mari ☺️
Don’t feel bad Mari, I voted empath too. I attributed Fergie’s staying with Andrew & repeated contact with Epstein as possible Codependent behaviour/addiction.
Although…Fergie’s emails to Epstein did flag for me in a similar fashion as Johnny Depp’s text messages to Paul Bettany (about Heard) – in that, I found it hard to believe that an empathic person would write that. And turns out they are both narcissistic.
Hi 1WC, thank you for responding. It’s a tricksy business and once again points toward the importance of evidence! I got swayed by watching interviews as I said.
Hi Mari:
Isn’t it interesting how psychopaths success like Epstein is always at the expense of other people. I guess that’s why they violate rules, norms and laws aka crimes. They don’t seem to succeed in other ways. Their limited humanity seems to restrict any contribution to humanity. Not all but many. Maybe the short cut or the easy road is crime versus merit? They want what they want and committing crimes is the fastest easiest way to get it. Reckless. Impulsive. But this lack of morality … what is the origin? It doesn’t seem like it could be a gene as norms are constructed by society. Is it from their fantasy that they create, ie grandiosity is there… perhaps it’s a power play or to control reality and since crime is a short cut to money, etc…. Seems like paranoia is there too. It’s a dog eat dog mentality. Me v the world. But unlike narcissism, psychopaths line the prisons and under the DSM unlike narcs rejecting rules, norms and laws is a behavioral trait. It’s a defiance. I am the law. Laws don’t apply for me. Aggressiveness, impulsiveness, risk taking, lower fear response could be a gene but the rest ??? They say psychopaths are born. Young children with conduct disorder ie abuse animals. But morality? It seems like psychopaths are goal oriented. But in my experience they enjoy committing the crime and getting away with it as much as whatever they gained ie money typically. Why do they reject society? Epstein was smart, able to network… why the crime? Even after his arrest, he continued on and psychopaths are recalcitrant. No cure. Repeat offenders stuffing the jails. Epstein had the money, intellect, charm…why so recklessly continue on if it was about money and power, he had it and he could do it without abusing young girls. Rape, kidnap, trafficking, abuse. I personally feel that the problem with many psychopaths is that they enjoy committing crimes, hurting others, breaking society. I think they hate reality and the constraints of it that much. You know how bullies often hurt the weaker ones as easy targets and it makes them feel superior. It’s like that but worse. Bullies are often broken children like narcs . Psychopaths … I don’t think they are broken children but malevolent ones. Like in Batman when Michael Caine tells the Dark Knight…. Some people can’t be bought. It’s not about money or power. They just want to see the world burn. And because psychopaths can get rich like Epstein by taking a short cut, ie crime, you think it’s about money or power. In part, I am certain that pleases them. But what makes them tick: hate. And I think that’s why people call them evil. Hate is evil. Love is the opposite. Whether you believe in Christ or not, his message was love. Building a community, helping each other, forgiveness, unity, love, love for even thine enemies, honoring family, hope. Success is defined as building up, not tearing down. Epstein only “ succeeded” by destruction. He ruined lives, reputations. In that way, he was a very small man. His intentions, his actions were all about destruction. Making this world a smaller, uglier, deadlier place. He was a speck of depravity. Deplorable in every way.
And Fergie called him a friend. Why I do believe those who commit the crime are guilty, bystanders who know and accept … put themselves on his level.
Hello Contagious, wow! There’s a lot there to mull over. It’s hard for me to answer briefly and I don’t feel it’s the place for my deeper blethrings. To my understanding, you are trying to delve beyond the prime aims of narcissists and psychopaths (and Epstein is/was a narc psychopath), to a more existential- even spiritual – reason? That could go deep and ancient. On the surface level, I suppose it’s the brain make-up of psychopaths, plus individual personality. I agree it is the absence of love. I know I’ve not hit the nail on the head, but it’s a broad discussion, with several possibilities and angles. Thanks for the response!
Hello Contagious,
After listening to the recent discussion between HG Tudor and John Cooper (part 3), I wanted to share some reflections. I did respond before but I’ve got more time for a careful response, plus information from HG/Cooper to clarify.
One point that stood out was the distinction between imprisoned and successful psychopaths. It seems to come down largely to cognitive function and impulse control. The core drives remain the same, but some are better able to regulate themselves, plan ahead, and avoid consequences. Not all psychopaths are goal oriented, says HG.
I’m not sure that hate is the main motivator. Hate implies emotion. What struck me in the discussion is something colder – an absence of empathy combined with the necessary triad’s drive for control and stimulation.
In cases like Jeffrey Epstein, continued offending despite wealth and status suggests compulsion rather than necessity. HG’s observation that psychopaths have no “off switch” fits here: without an internal brake, the behaviour doesn’t stop once money or power is secured. The thrill of transgression (crime, etc) may be part of the reward itself. I recall HG saying before, that many psychopaths live quite normal lives, blending in.
I also see a clear difference between the psychopath and those who enable or associate with them. The compliant bystanders often act out of fear, self interest or weakness. Maybe all three! They are not on the same level imo, but that doesn’t excuse their complicity. In some ways, their obsequiousness can be more troubling than overt predation.
As for why psychopathy exists, neurobiology seems a tangible key: low fear response, impaired empathy processing, and high stimulation thresholds. Most people internalise morality emotionally, but psychopaths may understand it cognitively without being constrained by it.
I don’t disregard the deeper existential or spiritual questions, but they are very broad. Eg, could it be that love as we know it is a relative new thing? Could the majority of ancient humans be psychopaths, as we now know them to be? Some higher functioning than others? Did psychopathy create the amazing architecture we marvel at from ancient times? From a practical standpoint, a neurological framework feels the most workable explanation. I get your questioning, though!
Hi Mari,
Your questioning reminds me of an interesting TV program I watched the other day. The program is called ‘Finding Stars’. It’s a half-hour documentary made by the ABC network in Australia. It is currently available on YouTube.
The documentary is about the night sky and the abundance of stars and cosmic lights that can be seen in places where there is complete darkness. In these starlit skies, there have been many sightings of moving lights – unusual streaks of light and other sightings that are unexplained.
Due to ever-expanding cities and highly populated areas, light pollution and constant city lights are progressively making invisible the natural night sky with its abundance of stars.
Just as our current human civilisation is progressively making the stars in the night sky something that can’t be seen or experienced, I think there are also other aspects of life that are not visible or accessible to us.
Hi Contagious,
“ But in my experience they enjoy committing the crime and getting away with it as much as whatever they gained, money mostly.”
I think you’re right. Psychopaths are goal oriented and crave power and dominance. If you place that within the framework of the Necessary Triad, then they control people and their environment in order to achieve a self serving objective. Achieving the objective will yield a reward. In the case of a high functioning psychopath, that reward will often be linked to money, power and increased status. Money, power and status facilitate greater accumulation. The accumulation of wealth, knowledge and people then becomes enhanced through the expansion of more influential networks.
There comes a point though, where wealth loses its value. Does being a billionaire feel any different than being a multi billionaire? No, it doesn’t, particularly given the effect of interest on the wealth. They continue on because as HG stated in a recent interview, there is no contentment, no feeling of having ‘made it’ and more importantly, no ‘off switch’. Enough is never enough, so the cycle continues. More objectives, more achievement, more control over people and environment, more accumulation, larger networks of influence and so on.
Your point about enjoying getting away with it. This is stimulation. The pursuit of an objective is stimulating in itself. At this point the stimulation is present and does not depend solely on achievement of the objective. The process is more stimulating than the point of achievement. Psychopaths once fixed on an objective and missing the off switch will keep going, push through. Where others might decide the goal is too difficult, too labour intensive etc, the psychopath will doggedly pursue. The impression management, logic, lack of emotional brakes, lack of fear, the inherent self belief, disregard for rules etc facilitates pursuit and achievement of success.
There’s a problem with success though. Success is outward facing, it usually requires feedback from the environment. It is society that pronounces us as successful more than success being felt as an internal process. In this way, society, the symbol of rules, social norms, laws, restrictions and ‘normality’ determines what success is. In this sense, success becomes conformist. Conformity suppresses freedom. The psychopath must remain free from conformity if his self view is to remain intact. One cannot be set above and apart if one conforms to the targets society sets. Success and associated trappings now become problematic. Unless…, unless, you achieve your success at the expense of society. Crime, rule bending, lawlessness or law bending then facilitate success, power and dominance whilst simultaneously mocking societal rules and conventions. Control without being controlled. Stimulation through beating the system, accumulation and the display of wealth as the proverbial middle finger. Now success becomes success despite societal frameworks, not because of them.
I think psychopaths reject society because being part of society restricts the psychopath’s sense of freedom. Freedom to do what he wants without being held accountable, freedom to behave as he sees fit which bolsters superiority.
Rules are for the sheep. Detachment ensures freedom. To operate outside of the rules, to disrespect and dismantle societal norms, ensures the psychopath is set apart, ‘above’, distinct, and above all, free.
Interesting analysis’ on Jeffrey Epstein, thank you HG. 🙏
Listening to them I wondered how you feel talking about him, as another narcissistic psychopath? Do feel any admiration for his scope of duplicity? Or disdain? Or something else?
It also struck me that the idea that he worked for an organisation that utilised his “skillset” sounds similar to what you have disclosed about your own work. Though I get the impression yours ultimately might be perceived as “protective” whereas who knows what this endgame was / is…?
One acknowledges his clear level of charm and calculation to have constructed such a far-reaching network and also maintaining notoriety post death (assuming you accept he is dead). To create such a network that encompasses so many individuals from differing fields merits acknoweldgement. It is also testament to the weakness and malleable nature of certain human beings and reinforces my disdain for many who inhabit this planet.
He had terrible taste in interior design although I doubt that was high on his list of priorities.
Your reply, HG, is interesting.
You acknowledge Epstein for his “charm and calculation” which he used to “create a far-reaching network”.
At the same time, you have disdain for the “weakness and malleable nature of certain human beings”.
These two aspects remind me of the saying “water finds its own level”.
Not everyone was charmed or duped by him.
The adults who were charmed by him were like him. (By adults, I mean those who weren’t trapped, trafficked or threatened by him.)
The people to whom he trafficked women and to whom he gave money were attracted to him because they were also devious, entitled, callous, and self-absorbed. Those in his network also believed that their power and wealth made them invincible.
He attracted a like-minded ‘tribe’ of people who didn’t recoil from him being a sexual predator or his conviction as a sex offender. They didn’t distance themselves from his suspect lending, or corruption, or Lolita plane or wild parties, etc. These criminal activities – sick and twisted as they were – actually attracted them to him. This is because they were essentially the same as him in their beliefs and character.
I see, person like him is charmed by him.
Person not like him isn’t charmed by him they’re trafficked.
Not always the case at all.
Plenty of people are charmed and they’re not like the charmer nor are they trafficked of trapped.
Also his interview with Steve Bannon says finance is not explainable, physics is unexplainable, mathematics is unexplainable… he went to New Mexico to be with Nobel prize people and scientists, his interest, genetic algorithms … unexplainable. AI result unexplainable. Go back 350 years, Isaac Newton… who invented calculas etc…calculus is philosophical… an old conundrum… if the wall is two feet away… move two feet, another feet but could never reach the wall… it’s ok… let’s do mathematics that are close but never reach the limit….1 divided by zero is undefined… world of the strange… not explainable…numbers can tell certain things. To put numbers to unexplainable is alchemists, astrologists, etc… fakes or God. Something strange happens… per Isaac Newton… push a ball, touch it, push a force…when the ball fell off the table it went in a different direction… something else pushed the ball. He called it gravity. He measured it. What’s gravity? No one knows what it is. Rothschild had a think tank with Epstein, Nobel peace prize winners to join the stock market, no one knows per Epstein. Great traders feel it. No reason. No mathematics Epstein on Newton…he made accurate predictions on things in physical world. He made relationships in triangles. Fixed relationships with other side. Odd. But it helps predict. Can we find formulas how things, solid masses attract each other. Why? You can’t mathematics the finer things in life. Life is a miracle. Epstein refers to the soul . Soul is strange as God took materials could think. Epstein says it’s the dark matter of the brain. Like physics, we can’t see it.Behaves as if something there. Dead versus alive is unexplainable. Newton was a mathematician and philosopher . No one can figure out what a soul is. Epstein thinks the physical world comes out of mathematics – waves are invisible. Science can’t describe romance. Women have intuitive sense can deal in a realm not explainable. Science and math are old fashion. Women sense it. There’s emotional intelligence. People have different sorts of intelligence.
It seems to me that Epstein saw a world with no answers. He is right. That’s why I believe in Faith. And he went to dark matter where I think God puts evil… nothingness . He saw A chaotic world. So like every desperate man, he grabbed what he could and like most pedophiles. It’s not sex, it’s innocence he wants. It’s an emotional grab that makes no sense. Something he as a narcissistic psychopath can accept.
One more thing when Epstein went on about Socrates and how smart he was not to write anything down. Banning said like Jesus? Epstein said “ I thought he was a carpenter.” Then said he had to go. When Bannon accused him of being SatAn. Epstein got uncomfortable for the second time. Said he had to end the interview. Given Lex Weber said he was a Dublin or Satan that made him greedy to want and want and want.i think Epstein was right about the limits of science, I skipped his analysis of quantum theories. I think Epstein knew in his narcisstic psychopathic moments mind. He chose evil and will answer for it.
Contagious,
If the thing is not red, it doesn’t mean that it is blue.
I’m surprised in your post you didn’t mention Euler’s formula.
Unexplainable things in physics do not prove existence of any GOD or afterlife or heaven/hell or Valhalla/Asgard or whatever. If you believe, your soul after death would be transferred to some 4th dimension like in Interstellar, without space and time, and would stuck there for eternity, literally doing nothing (how come it’s not Hell? Are you sure it’s Heaven?), then it’s your choice.
Having read your post mixing Epstein, gravity, GOD, romance, after a post that a hit feels like a kiss and Erika is a witch, makes me question again if this blog is Wonderland and I’m Alice. Indeed unique place.
Hi Contagious,
There is currently a kind of collective obsession in relation to understanding Epstein and what kind of person he was.
After watching a couple of interviews with him as well as parts of a deposition where he was questioned, I don’t believe he was all that intelligent.
If you listen to him talk, he spoke in short, disjointed and abrupt sentences. The content of his speech was mainly to deflect and deny. He was arrogant and entitled. He didn’t seem to be contemplative or insightful in an intellectual or philosophical way. I don’t think he was deep or thoughtful about what he was doing or the repercussions of his actions.
If you look at the longer timeline in terms of his history, youth, education, and qualifications, it seems he was very opportunistic more than anything else. He was arrogant and entitled and his entitlement grew the more he became involved and ‘collected’ those who were very rich and/or very famous. He ingratiated himself and moved in social circles where he would deliberately target certain people to create a facade, probably to adopt the same character traits for himself, which he did not have based on his history or innate abilities.
His far reaching network arose from organized crime…. Arms, drugs, diamonds, trafficking… crime. Epstein came from a middle class Jewish family on Coney Island. He was good at math. Was a math teacher…. Taught the son of CEO of Bear Stearn who took him to Wall Street. From there… the rest is history. Big banks are now settling lawsuits as 1.5 billion over the years went through their coffers from Epstein accounts…the question was “ where did his money come?” Some members of the banks objected to having him as a client. This has come out in depositions in the victims lawsuits against the banks. Jeffrey brought them big clients too and got big loans such as a sum of 75 million. Dirty money can be cleaned. Add money laundering, no doubt blackmail, fraud, insider trading and no doubt murder. Epstein made his money through crime. Legitimate people came to him too- turning their heads and holding their noses just to get a better return. The pedophiles loved him like Gates, Prince Andrew , Woody Allen etc….as it was an organized way to get their pedophile desires met. Intelligence tapped him as he was networked with arms dealers and others of influence and they have their own agendas. Epstein was a great con artist too and good at networking. I agree with you HG, that is objectively notable. People went to him for money, illegal sex, and for his connections which originated in New York City on Wall Street. “Greed is good.” Epstein did not have a happy ending however. Lives were ruined. Reputations destroyed. And he ended up murdered in a prison suit in jail. Just another middle aged felon dead. What is sad is that so many assisted him and although the civil courts are meting out justice through large settlements, the criminal system albeit not Maxwell, has lagged.
Epstein was a notorious criminal but not a very good behind the scenes crook. Epstein got a lot of attention and he was too impulsive. He was convicted once but he continued on. Epstein died halfway through his life miscalculating his abilities.
I don’t find him personally more interesting than a Russian mob leader or any other criminal head. What bothers me is the lack of prosecution of those who made it all happen. To me, thats the real crime. But time will tell….
I should add. Epstein was not very bright. He was a mediocre student, dropped out of college and his emails show he can barely write beyond a 13 year old. His grammar is terrible. He got fired from his first job at Dalton and then at Bear Sterns. What he was good at is attaching himself to people who could do things for him but at what cost. The CEO of Bear Sterns gave him a good job at Wall Street for tutoring his son…probably his last legitimate referral… but Lex Werner a billionaire tied to organized crime didn’t give him power of attorney out of the gracious generosity of his black satanic heart. Jeffrey was a good fall guy…. Right? And he must have done right as far as hiding money, laundering money and making Lex money. I mean both lex and Jeffrey had access to young even minor girls through their modeling agencies and Victoria Secret. ( Trump had his own modeling agency, Jean LucBurnel did too, and Jeffrey tried to buy Elite at one point). I guess what astounds me is that average looking average intelligence men become billionaires through family money ( ok not that surprising) or crime. ASPD really does pay for some and yes it kills and imprisons others. I mean if you are willing to have sex with anyone, kill anyone, betray anyone, lie nonstop, commit any crime…. You can get ahead but you might get killed or go to prison… it’s a risk. And it requires no conscience or belief in God I would think. I sometimes wonder if they made deals with Satan given Jeffrey’s weird temple and gargoyles, Maxwells weird goat satanic interior piece and lex Werner admitting he was a Golem in the 80s in an interview. At this point, why not be open about your devotion and deal with evil. But what really gets me is the astounding lack of prosecution in the USA. Yes heads of Harvard, Apollo or hedge fund companies etc… are resigning and not all of them legally belong in jail for associating with a convicted minor child sex offender. But bravo to Britain, Norway, France, Turkey …. They are doing something.
I still waiting. I think Andrew might crack and spill. The public is hot here for justice in the USA. We need that straw to break the camels back. Please Andrew! Break!
Great videos on Andrew, HG , and while he disgusts me, Andrew might cause the USA to take some more criminals down.
But so what? Will it stop rich average or less looking middle aged men from wanting hot underage girls? Remember in the US the sex trade has surpassed the drug trade for criminal profit. And look at the world! Jean Luc Burnel bought girls from Poland, Slovenia, etc…. girls were trafficked in from Russia, Brazil, South Africa etc… look at India, the Philippines, Thailand, Mexico etc… children boys and girls for sex remain a gold currency and you don’t have to be a billionaire either. It won’t end of course with more prosecutions BUT IT HELPS. It sends a message to take the rich and powerful down for perverse crimes. And each one of us needs to vote those Epstein pals or others like them out of office and keep speaking our anger. As the movie Sound of Freedom said Our Children are not for Sale! I love all children. Look at what Jesus said. I hope Jesus was warning them… better to kill yourself now as after death you will face justice.
The overreaching corruption, depravity, lack of morality is both astounding and not. Were the leaders of Rome any better? Throughout history … nothing has changed. Is it narcissism? Is it psychopathy? I read one psychologist on line who said all pedophiles were psychopaths. I agree. Not sure HG would or not.
Only if it is accepted. We must do what we can to at the very least protect Gods children, our children!
HG, “assuming you accept he is dead”. Apparently, there has been some “sightings” by some eagle-eyed persons (I questioned that though).
Either way, he’s gone to ground.
I understand these sightings have been a product of AI pictures and over active imaginations.
Thank you for confirming that my questioning the conspiracy theorists and their AI “artistry” in regard to JE.
Do you think an unaware narcissist could ever be diagnosed with NPD?
Yes.
Yes, I figured that might be a possibility. However, it is so strange, as they can never understand what they are or gain awareness of their own actions. It is very hard for me to put myself in the shoes of an unaware narcissist; their brain is just such a mess.
What prevents an unaware narcissist from being able to gain any kind of awareness about themselves and their own psychology?
Their narcissism.
Just so we’re clear. It appears there is now more than one ‘WhoCares’. I didn’t ask the Epstein question of HG.
I guess I will be changing to match my YT moniker (and nickname that FYC gave me).
Interesting…
Hi WC,
I saw your comment about getting that stupid nonce verification error. When you’re on the blog and writing a comment, check to see if the recent comments have been updated. When you go through the different pages on the blog, the pages don’t always refresh. If you go to a different page and you see the recent comments haven’t been updated, that’s a sign that the page needs to be refreshed. Once you refresh the page, you should no longer have the issue.
Thank-you for the tip, Leigh.
Lol. She must be your fan. Imagine we all rename ourselves to HG Tudor and put his picture as an avatar. That would be fun.
Look at you mirroring, tut tut!
Learning from the best.
Haha, Arya.
Oh good grief! I responded to you on that comment! What is your new name, if I may ask, so I know it is you? If you prefer not to say, at least I know who is not you.
“Oh good grief! I responded to you on that comment! What is your new name, if I may ask, so I know it is you?’
No worries, AV – how could you know?
I am going with ‘1WhoCares’, for now.
1WhoCares, the name is apt for you.
☝️ I agree Asp.
Thanks, Asp Amp. ❤️
HG did anything in the released Epstein files surprise you?
I’ve not read them all!
HG, ‘Why Do Narcssists Operate From The Same Book’ and ‘You Are Not Alone – The Narcissist and Infidelity’ are a couple come to mind – including your series on PDiddy in regard to the big news story being discussed at present.
WC,
I can understand if HG isn’t too surprised by things in there, if he reads them all, but my poor naive youngest daughter was traumatized by the little bit she read and saw. She told me not to read them, she won’t even speak about what she read, she just said “Don’t Mom!”. I don’t think anyone else in my family would read them at all, she is naive but also curious.
AV,
It was not me who posted that question.
Although – I am sorry to hear that about your daughter’s experience.
I saw that later, thank you for clarifying.
He didn’t deserve easy death. And those who went to his rape islands too.
Though I’m aware such places exist, in my country as well, where it’s not only girls there, also boys, all minors, but when I see and read about it, it’s very disturbing.
Those Lolita’s writings made me sick. When I was 12 years old, in school, I had just changed schools and was a new pupil, had a teacher of physical activity, I think he was about 30-35. During our classes, I immediately felt that something is going on. During us, students, performing various exercises he was giving me those looks, staring at me, which made me very uncomfortable. I knew those looks, I was getting them at subway, buses, boys at school (in Russia, most schools have all ages in one school, no division by age group). But it wasn’t only his looking, he was kind of touching me with an excuse that he was helping me to do the exercises correctly. He touched others too, but it felt excessive to me. Like he would put hand on my bottom during pushups etc. I thought maybe I’m imaging things. But once , after a few months, he was standing very close during some exercise and whispered “you are my Lolita”. I didn’t understand that, I didn’t know anything about this book, but I remembered his words. Then it was Feb or March, we had a cross-country ski lessons at the forest, now it’s park (in Moscow). We were skiing in big circles though it. At one point, I fell, and got really behind the group, and was left alone, no one was around. I got up and continued and then I heard someone was approaching me fast behind. I even didn’t have a chance to stop and look back. Then I felt he bumped into me and grabbed me with one hand aournd my chest so I couldn’t move my arms and another hand on my mouth and said:” got you”. He probably threw his sticks, just before reaching me. I got so scared and freaked out. I thought a serial killer attacked me and now I’m going to die. Then I realized it was my teacher. I didn’t see his face. I couldn’t do anything, my legs were in skis between his legs, he was bigger, taller and stronger. He was an adult man. Anyway, I will skip what happened next, but he finally released me, when he heard voices from others in our group approaching us.
After that incident, I stopped attending his classes at all. I didn’t tell anyone about it. I was scared, I was scared of him. I thought no one would believe me. My parents were the last people I would tell anything. For some reason, unexpectedly, he didnt report me to anyone, that I was skipping his classes, records were showing that I still was attending or was on sick leave. He put me excellent, top marks at the end. After academic year finished, he moved to another school. I don’t know what happened and why he left.
Then other horrible things happened in my life and someone else, I don’t remember who, called me Lolita. So by age of 15 or 16, I finally decided to read this book, his Russian edition. I found it so disgusting, all those descriptions what Humbert felt when he was looking at her, that I didn’t finish it. I don’t know how it’s all ended. Maybe I should read it now, as an adult, though I probably would be triggered again. So when I saw those pictures at the news, writing quotes from this perverted book on girls, I wanted to vomit. This monster, fucking pedophile, Epstein, deserved to be subjected to some medieval worst painful torture ever created, not hanging. Or maybe he should have had to be put in Russian prison, they “love” pedophiles.
Also, now, when I have a teenager daughter and imagining that those girls are also someone’s daughters. It’s awful. You cannot recover from that experience ever. At such young age, it screwed and damaged you on very deep level for the rest of your life.
And another thing, I found a bit strange. I read that many girls were allured to those islands by offering them to be a model. When I was 15, 16 I was also approached on the streets mostly by women offering me to try myself in modeling. But I had never visited any of auditions. At that time, though, there were some successful stories, but also rumors that girls were disappearing without a trace after those auditions. I didn’t want to take any risks, plus I wasn’t interested in modeling career anyway. But why those girls went to those islands without checking what is actually there? Talk to someone. At least in my country, many knew about those places, houses for rich people, and if you are offered to go there, you kind of know what to expect. Maybe in US, it was different. Idk. People believe in dreams.
Hi Arya,
“Maybe in US, it was different.” – For me, I didn’t even think such things were happening. I was in complete denial. Then you hear about Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein & P Diddy and you realize, it really does happen and on a grand scale as well.
I agree that Epstein didn’t deserve an easy death. He should’ve been tortured!
I’m sorry this happened to you, Arya. Its terrible when people we’re supposed to trust take advantage of us at an innocent age. Its changes us forever.
Thank you, Leigh❤️
I agree Arya, he deserved a slow, painful death. As do those who used his services. I am sorry for the experiences you’ve had, so sorry. I hope you can find some way to deal with them that allows you some relief.
Thank you, A Victor. ❤️
How horrible for you, Arya. I happened upon a woman called Juliette Bryant, speaking about her experience with Epstein. I reckon she’s legit, clearly still dealing with trauma, she gets mad upset in the middle of speaking about it at times. She is from South Africa and was from a low income family, with dreams of being a modelle, as you say. She was at a low income college I think, studying psychology I think, trying to support herself because her family was poor. She believes ‘They’ target/ed many low income people and she said being from South Africa and poor, she’d never left the country and never met a famous person and I think at the time, there just was not as much information as there is now. She says on hindsight she is very upset that she did it and got ensnared (to use a well known word). She repeatedly went on call-outs from SA to his island and ranch because she was terrified they’d kill her or her family members, or worse. She’d had a warning from Epstein, she says. It’s good that you were informed and not attracted to being a modelle! Sorry if this is a stream of consciousness, I need to rush off but wanted to reply before things move on.
Thank you, Mari ❤️ Though I was lucky not to get entangled with someone like Epstein, at 16, I still got ensnared by a sick guy. He used threats too. Describing in details, how he would slowly kill me , after he would kill my brother, if I ever leave him. He had friends and connections in police. Looking back, I think they were just threats, but at that time, I didn’t know that. So I understand this girl, Juliette, why she kept coming back. Out of fear.
Hi Arya.
I’m sorry about your experience with the teacher when you were 12. Terrible. I can understand it left a mark.
Lolita is probably my favourite novel. It’s not the storyline that I love – that’s tough to endure – but I find it excellently written.
I first tried reading it because of the reference in ‘Don’t stand so close to me’ but I didn’t get through much. I opened it again in my 20s.
I doubt the men saying Lolita to you had read the book because I think if they had or if they’d understood it, they wouldn’t say it. The book does not glorify relationships between girls and adult men. It condemns it.
If you can stand trying again, persevere. The tone shifts in the second half and that’s where it’s most powerful.
Hi AnnaameI,
The teacher was just one of many other events, that had happened to me during teenage years.
I see about Lolita book. Yes, maybe I should give it another try in reading. I know there are also movies, but I haven’t watched them. Thank you for reply💞
Sorry you experienced that, Arya. It was a definite abuse of power.
I am sorry too Arya.
I hope you’re doing well.
Whocares ❤️
Arya, just acknowledging your reply to me about the ensnarement at 16. Thank you for sharing, that is serious stuff, especially at such a young age. I think it can be difficult for some to understand the hold such fear can have, despite many ‘survivors’ of abuse say the same thing.
I have been thinking more on our “chat” Asp. I think talking things through with you helps me see how I’m still very much in problem solving / searching mode (in my head) at times though a lot less than I used to be. There was much to “figure out” in hindsight but recognise it’s probably now about learning to “be”. Easier said than done ofc but good to get a grip on what I’m feeling. I’m learning to be more in my body (safe) as we’re talking about.
Hi Asp 👋
I hope you’re well.
Watching this interesting video tonight on autism, hsp’s and CPTSD which addresses a lot of what we’re talking about too:
https://youtu.be/Tx8LzXQEH6s?si=KOVp8cyureFqG28w
Hi two, thank you for the link. I had a read and further reads from various sources. That YT channel starting early 2020, just prior to worldwide Covid Lockdowns. I could understand to what she said, however, “emotionally immature parents” or “eggshell parents” is not necessarily how I would word it. There was another channel that I saw (years ago), read a few minutes video of “speak” that I could not relate to because of what was being said and how that person’s body language / facial expressions reminded me of people to avoid, like TOW does her “flowery sprinkles” stuff.
My question is: how can HSP be considered “neurodivergent” when it is not listed on the recognised DSM5? However, “sensory processing sensitivity (SPS)” is. CPTSD does not appear on DMS5 as yet. In my view, it gets pushed aside and other named ‘conditions’ may be issued instead, for example, ‘borderline personality disorder’ (HG’s video ‘The Borderline’ is particularly resourceful, alongside his other videos with ‘borderline’ in the title).
HG’s work is very expansive on the subject that he personally knows and understands fully. The fact he offered a vast amount for free, yes, charges for EDCs, consults, etc. How often does he provide the discounts on his EDCs and Knowledge Vault products in comparison to Long Term, Weekly (minimum 12 months) ‘consultations’ that are twice the cost of HG’s own consults?
I only needed 6 monthly sessions. The therapist had completed / achieved what they were asked to do by external recommendations. Albeit, it was ‘imposed’ on me in the first place, probably unnecessary but I had to prove the point. Some years later, the point was ‘reiterated’ further by formal diagnosis. However, all of that would and could have been avoided had the correct intervener intervened when I was a child ie social services. The Autism Act came into force in 2009. My EDC gave me further clarification into what I am and helped me understand better what PTSD / CPTSD are.
I found these particularly interesting and resourceful: from HG’s videos ‘Are There More Male Narcissists Than Female Narcissists?’; ‘Autism or Narcissism’ and from Playlist: Ultra Interview, videos #7; #37 and #112.
Granted, I was originally seeking answers to understand myself better and my initial searches elsewhere did not really entice me to ‘connect’, technical jargon / too lengthy, stretching it out far longer than necessary but not really, in my perception, getting to the point. For me, HG’s work was what I needed and so I stayed with one source that is consistent with the correct information, using real-life statistics backed up by evidence. Some people may use other sources. I chose not to because I did not need to be confused, or question what I read.
Interesting to consider that mental / emotional health may actually be misunderstood, or, misinterpreted by many because of the vast range of information from hugely vast range of sources. Yes, improved critical thinking may lead to better mental / emotional health and, in some cases, better physical health (not always though). It is about knowing how to manage it better through correct sources / resources and assistance when it is available.
Apologies for a long comment again. Thank you for reading. Thank you HG for moderating.
Thank you Asp. I enjoy your thoughts. Yes, lots of different sources. HGs info feels solid to me so I understand why you stayed with this. It stops confusion anyway but also further confusion by using different models. I learnt about HSPs about ten years ago possibly more so I think that’s why that stuck but I gathered contagion is closest to it quickly and I’ve seen HG say that too.
Re HSP not being in the DSM, I wonder if we’ll learn more in the coming years. I think there’s lots of overlaps with autism too so more research to be done.
Thanks again for the recommendations, I have those saved now. PS I believe I’m now on my way out of pain finally. I found a really good source, Dan at, “pain free you” which has added the final piece of the puzzle with that. I thought I’d mention too in case useful for others. I’ve done a lot of learning in the last five years around healing from narcissistic abuse and also believe HGs info and staying here (thanks to you and others here 🙏) has and is helping too. Pain free you’s basic premise is that a lack of feeling of safety primarily affects pain which is always what I’ve felt and ties in with learning about my mum just before the pandemic, a family member suicide attempt during.. etc. I think I just crashed. I’m getting out of that now though thankfully.
Thanks as always for hearing my thoughts and adding helpful tips too ❤️
Hi two, there does seem to be an umbrella of neurological pathways ie Autism, ADHD etc, that I believe stems from one source on the chromosome chain but I do not know exactly what is considered the primary (main) source ie Autism.
I agree that understanding why “a lack of feeling safety” is a key aspect of understanding yourself better and what triggers that feeling. Yes, impacted ET / LT can also contribute to, in some respect, feeling more physical pain (including emotional / mental) than the basis pain. It depends if the external stressors can be managed better, reduced, or, avoided, if possible. Otherwise the CPTSD is not being managed effectively. From my understanding, nobody “heals” from CPTSD, they can only learn to understand what it is and what sets it off again (for that person).
Some people learned to supress their ‘pain’ to the point where it is not necessarily always ‘reachable’, or, ‘unlockable’ from their mind. It could be too traumatic for that person.
It’s good that you are still reading here and understanding more about yourself. The processing part(s) can be difficult at times, but it is worth it because it can be liberating, to free up space for more learning (building up on the wisdom). Thank you for you acknowledgements, I appreciate that.
I agree with your points Asp. It’s all very interesting. I am having excellent results with my pain since finding the channel I mentioned so feel like I’m learning how to “turn it off”. I’m definitely a “too focused on things” person a lot if the time but am learning to manage that and give less of a crap! Also someone recommended a book called “how to stop everything effecting you” (or something like that!) which sounds useful.
Yes, I know I need to build up some resilience around other people so I think this forum is good for that and of course HGs wisdom is worth staying for. I have left a few other forums recently on other topics. I get so pissed off with how rude some people are generally but ofc there’ll be some narcs in the mix too. 🤷♀️ But yes, there’s stuff from my end that I can change too.
I hope life is good at your end. Thanks for all your encouragement. x
Hello Two:
I shared my story of my best friends autistic ( high functioning) daughter who was diagnosed borderline. She had a psychologist who said that autism and BPD overlapped a lot. And she has a new doctor in a new state that said she has CPTSD. But that usually means a long term continuous trauma. To the best of my knowledge she was raised with little trauma. However…. Her father left her when she was 5, they divorced and he moved out of state and she saw him only a couple weeks a year so perhaps that was it. But so many children today are products of divorce…. She must have a predisposition. There is no issue with drugs and alcohol. But in watching your video… I agree that she has empathy but you would never know it when she physically and verbally lashes out. This led to an arrest which I got dismissed but it worked ONCE as a first time offender and moved out of state. There is a focus on getting her independent… therapy, driving and a job or school. She is 21 and has resisted all of it. She has made some movement but not much. It’s truly a tragedy for her and the family. 7 years of in and out of residential, various medications, all the therapy, social services wrap program, full parental support for 7 years and autism support since a baby and special needs schools….. Question is when does the lashing out end? What actually works? Any input appreciated….
Mm interesting but sad, Contagious. I guess if borderline is correct then in HGs view she’s a narcissist or has CPTSD. I think time will tell Contagious 🤞 if she heals from the CPTSD, change is possible but obviously not if she is a narcissist. So hard.
I hope you’re well otherwise ❤️
@contagious
“ Question is when does the lashing out end? What actually works? Any input appreciated….”
I don’t think this is something that can be answered here. Her situation requires professional psychological support and it sounds like she is receiving this, so I’m not sure what good it would do to seek the opinion of random strangers regarding your friends daughter’s behaviour? She’s not even your daughter.
Generally speaking some autistic people do have violent meltdowns and some autistic people have a condition called intermittent explosive disorder: https://youtu.be/9p3RmFSc8EQ?si=mJVQHyQbhUzVrceh
Autism is a complex condition- it’s best not to seek assumption based opinions from strangers
Yes, two, “There was much to “figure out” in hindsight but recognise it’s probably now about learning to “be”.” about sums it up. HG’s work works when applied, utilised. It’s a never ending cycle of learning / unlearning / relearning.
☝️ exactly Asp. I’ve made a lot of bad judgements about people and groups in the past (*the cult 🤦♀️😄) but do feel I’m getting better at discernment and arriving on the blog this year, made me realise that this knowledge of HGs is vast and deep, and worth sticking around to keep learning from. I’m aware we’re fortunate to have his company here. 🙏
Bonjour HG,
I just discovered a criminal called Mackenzie Shirilla. Is this name familiar to you? It’s not a new case, but she’s possibly the most text book narcissist I ever did see! It is possible her sociopathy is high as well. Not only that, her parents are text book narc nurturers, to a darkly comedic degree. I guess double narc situation for mum and dad, but most certainly the mother ain’t right. There’s loads of prison ‘phone calls available, between the mother and daughter. Both parents call her ‘Pumpkin’ and maintain that she is innocent, despite irrefutable evidence to the contrary.
She drove her boyfriend and their male friend straight into a wall at 100+ mph. She was seen on camera practicing the route 7 days in a row before the event. The two males died on impact but she survived. Some time passed before the police discovered it was murder. Her behaviour and attitude in prison are noteworthy, in terms of her apparent lack of genuine fear. She’s reportedly embraced prison life, including going ‘gay for the stay’ and has had many disciplinaries, at least one of which relates to sexual business.
Many viewers have clocked her narcissism and possible sociopathy, plus the mother’s and many call the father a simp. He pipes up in the background of ‘phone calls: “We know you’re innocent, Pumpkin!” The mother has said he’s not allowed to speak because he hogs the call! Mackenzie has a secret language she breaks into with her mum.
I felt compelled to share, incase anyone fancies checking her out, as far as narcissism is concerned. Warning: it is likely to cause temporary dulling of the neurons.
HG, have you heard of her before? I understand your options in the true crime realm are abundant, but just incase you felt compelled to do an analysis of her/her parents and haven’t come across her name before, here you are! Thanks.
Thank you Mari, I am not familiar with this person.
Dear HG,
Thank you for your upcoming Epstein videos today! I’m looking forward to hearing them! Xx❤️🔥❤️🔥
Hello HG, I suspect she could be beneath you to look upon, she is pretty basic but quite extreme. Highly somatic, tiny and spoilt; reportedly did voodoo on her boyfriend Dom – said if he leaves her she will hurt herself or end her life – an absolute ‘number’ of the pretty and mean variety, who did many questionable and reckless things prior to murder.
I’d say every narcissistic trait gets covered: lack of control environment; probable narc mother, possibly a narc or codependent father; shocking entitlement; bullying; violence; magical thinking; lack of accountability; denial; delusion; paranoia; clear lack of empathy; slivers of performative empathy/emotion; re-writing history; blame-shifting; rallying lieutenants; demonstrations of negative fuel being just as valuable as positive in jail & prison; aggressive attitude toward inmates when new in prison, as heard in some ‘phone recordings. Food neuroses and tantrums, eg, her boyfriend would cook for her each night and it had to be all gluten free, but in prison she was only eating bread, peanut butter and Oreos! She threw a tantrum when her bf’s mum forgot particular crisps for a canoeing picnic. In terms of neon-lit narcissism, she is a gift that keeps on giving.
Sorry to go on, but I forgot haughtiness in that long list of Mackenzie’s traits. I can not let that lie. She is 10/10 haughty ‘as fuuuuhhhgg’ as she might say. Thanks again!
Hello HG:
Loved your recent videos on Epstein and Hildebrandt! Excellent! Did you read any of Whitney Webbs work on Epstein? I thought she was good! Thank you for this work:)
No, I have not read her work.
Hi HG,
Re the picture of Peter Mandleson in his under crackers (Epstein) 🩲 .. the woman with him looks exactly like TOW from what is visible. Do you agree? She was meant to be mixed up in that world… 🤔
Thank you 🙏
See my video “Two Princesses of Darkness”.
Thank you HG. 🙏
Hi two, regarding your replies to me on Questioning Me #468877 & #468936
You’ll find that as you re-read some of HG’s work, it’s a bit like using the same colouring book page but using another coloured medium (paint / pen etc) in order to complete the full picture – as some people do with hobbies, pick up, put down, pick up, finish.
It may not be a parent, it could be further up in the family tree in regard to schools / cadres (GPD). I suppose that some traits can be activated by being around narcissists, including peers / friends / people outside the familial LOCEs.
Even when some people are ‘hurting’, they may continue to help others, until, some may end up having a ‘burnout’ (not a meltdown, yet continual episodes of meltdowns can lead to burnout – not necessarily ‘cliff fightback’ or ‘empathic supanova’ yet possibly may be viewed as such to unaware outsiders / narcissists in the vicinity). Long term emotional / mental stress (long term high levels of cortisol) can lead to physical health issues, even, activating auto-immune system issues (especially when there is GPD / family medical history – sometimes the DNA may become slightly more misaligned when passed onto descendants (also depending on other, if any, environmental contributions within the same LOCE, during fetal development). Some people have comorbidities which can impede on each other when their critical thinking is impacted, which can affect ET even more.
It’s good that you feel you can ‘talk’ here. I am not sure, or whether to ask this, does your husband know that you are using this blog? Sometimes, it does help to ‘talk’ with people away from emotional ties (ie HG as he is not emotionally attached) or someone who can assist at looking at your perspective from another angle (their perception, not necessarily the same ‘picture’ as you are ‘seeing’ ie your life experiences)(refer back to my colouring book ‘theory’ where the colours we may be looking at may be different shades of the same colour, or, different colours altogether). The main similarities, are the external stressor / narcissistic manipulations which usually “operate from the same book” (have you seen HG’s article on that?).
Dear Asp,
I like your colouring analogy. I can see that the more I use HGs work, for sure. I find there’s always a different angle, even when I’ve heard or read something before.
Yes I agree about further up the family tree. I gave wondered about a grandad who died before I was born too. He sounded quite like me.
I think I’ve always been ‘hurting’ emotionally to some degree. My parents took care of the material side of things and there were good times but I understand now, partly because of who they are and were and because of who I am, I always felt alone really and also very “fast” (hyper vigilant ) inside. There was no real emotional empathy towards me and I was a fairly high achieving kid that seemed “ok” but I think my emotional intelligence overtook theirs in my late childhood early teens. I was quick to people please, hyper vigilant, used humour to smooth things, take care of others, “be good”. When I experienced bullying (silent treatment for a year in my job as a teen) I didn’t tell anyone. I think deep down I knew i wouldn’t be supported in a meaningful way so “held it together” till my “friend” started talking to me again.
I think I got burnout during COVID when lots was happening in my family (I had also just realised about my mum) as well as that and my chronic pain and fatigue developed. I think it all came to a peak finally. I am working on healing it and think it’s moving slowly in the right direction. There’s something called “pain reprocessing theory” which is very helpful. Many people have healed from these types of illnesses and there’s an idea to it, which I think is correct, that your body needs to feel it’s safe so I’m working on that. It definitely ties in with my experiences. Also, I’m reading more about HSPs and autistic people.. both have higher than average instances of fibromyalgia type illnesses which I think is related to a similar way of processing. My hubby doesn’t know about me and the blog. He’s very understanding about narcissism and really is the main reason I have been able to work through so much, but feels I got a bit obsessed with the topic… Which is ofc true lol. 🥴 🤦♀️ I might one day.
I can talk to him about everything else though, he’s very empathetic but also logical so he is an excellent sounding board. But I have told him about HGs work and how accurate it is. He rightly sees me overthinking sometimes (we help each other with this) and I think would (maybe rightly) think me being here amplifies that. I feel like it’s something I need to do for now at least though. I hadn’t realised about my ex and a few other situations till I got here. He’s not so interested in the empath side of things even too tho I’m pretty sure he’s one (he’s much more “super” when needed, if so, which is very helpful and with dealing with my family as I needed help not being a doormat).
I’ll check out the article too, thank you. I really appreciate all your help Asp. I feel like there’s a peace that’s settled on me in the past few years after a lifetime so far of overthinking and ruminating… but ofc it still pops up sometimes, like last week. That’s why I usually stay away from “groups”. I’m taking a step back from my hobby forum atm as there’s a lot of change and emotion there so I think it’s about finding my way with it all. Like you I see the value of developing resilience too. Just working out what that balance is for me… I am glad to be here for now though. I am very fond of this blog and everyone here on the whole.
A clip from a South Park episode from August, 2025.
It would be funny if it hadn’t turned out alarmingly prophetic …
Mr Mackey from South Park gets recruited by ICE. He watches an orientation video featuring Kristi Noem, Director of Homeland Security, before heading off to his first raid …
Yikes I’ll check that out WN.
has anyone seen the film “idiocracy” .. funny but scarily prophetic too.
Hi two,
I haven’t seen ‘Idiocracy.’
After reading your comment, I watched a YouTube video of the first five minutes of it. It does look funny and I’d like to see the rest. It’s on my list of movies to watch.
It’s hilarious but uncannily true (after seeing trump get in twice, imo) …. Enjoy!
Hi HG,
If you have the time, would you consider doing a Tudorscope analysis on Stephen Miller, who is currently the US White House deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security advisor?
I have read several articles and commentary in which he is likened to Joseph Goebbels, who was one of Hitler’s closest allies and the chief propagandist for the Nazi Party.
Unlikely to do so, analyses of Trump are not viewed as highly as they ought to and therefore I doubt there will be much interest in Miller.
“Unlikely to do so, analyses of Trump are not viewed as highly as they ought to…”
Too bad.
I follow some independent news reporting channels that are anti-Trump to get the Coles Notes version of his latest. It irritates me that some of them label him as “such a narcissist” but they don’t truly understand what that means. Also, I think that even if they applied themselves and, say, grasped your work HG, it wouldn’t stop things like the click-baity type titles that interpret Trump’s behaviour from the majority perspective: “TRUMP FOLDS AGAIN!”, “BACKED INTO A CORNER!!”, “Trump RUNS SCARED in Minnesota…” because that is what anti-Trump individuals would *like* to hear.
What’s holding you back on doing an analysis of Jordan Peterson, HG?
There is a distinct advantage in doing so.
“There is a distinct advantage in doing so.”
An advantage in the holding back on analyzing Peterson?
Or advantageous to analyze him?
Refraining from an analysis.
“Refraining from an analysis.”
A. Would there be some negative fallout for you, or to your work, as a consequence of doing an analysis of Peterson?
B. Is it because some people keep asking for an analysis of him – and deciding to not grant that request/suggestion is sufficient for you personally (control wise)?
C. Is it because he has a very significant following and you would not want to alienate people or dissuade them from supporting your own work – should he be found to be a narcissist – and people disagree with you or look unfavourably at by you putting him under the Tudorscope?
D. None of the above.
A. No
B. Yes – it amuses me to frustrate a particular individual who gets very worked up about my having not analysed Peterson publicly.
C. No, anybody who gets prissy just because I find their favoured person to be a narcissist is hard of understanding and deserves ridicule.
Hello HG, the algorithm suggested a channel called ‘Inside Power’. The latest post came out 5 hours ago titled ‘Oprah says interview was scripted’. It’s hosted by George Will, well spoken, older, American, impressive office, fetching blue jumper but something felt off. The channel is very new with only 9 posts – all regarding the ginger pommie whinger & the bushpig (an Australian term, as such needs no explanation). George Will is a real Pulitzer Prize winning journalist but is the man in the blue jumper him or AI?
Thanks for all your wisdom.
AI.
Thank-you for your answers, HG.
HG – Actually…on the topic of candidates for the Tudorscope – and despite that it’s somewhat sad that she’s gone – I would be interested to find out your opinion of Catherine O’Hara.
Thank for your reply, HG.
I’ve been watching and reading about the events unfolding across the US due to ICE raids.
I’ve read about specific cases as well as first-hand accounts from people who were arrested and detained by ICE.
The way detainees are being treated is barbaric and way beyond ‘due process.’ The intimidation, aggression, and lack of proper administrative processes is horrific.
Immigrants are being rounded up, thrown into SUVs, taken to detainment centres where they are stripped, starved and held without being told why. In one case, a legal immigrant was arrested because she had a minor misdemeanour from more than ten years ago.
In one first-hand account, a woman who had been detained said she had all the relevant immigration papers. She asked people working at the detainment centres why she was being held. They told her they didn’t know and were doing what they had been told to do as part of their jobs.
This is frightening. It sounds a lot like what happened in Germany in the 1930s at the hands of the Nazis. Back then, when Jews and others were rounded up and taken to concentration camps, the Nazi employees also said they were just following orders.
WiserNow,
I think any analyses by HG of Trump and Miller would get drowned out right now in the current cacophony over their behaviour and that other members of Trump’s administration.
Although, I think analyses of either Karoline Leavitt or Kristi Noem might garner a fair bit of attention.
WC,
I would also love to see Noem under the Tudorscope, can’t stand that woman.
If Leavitt is put under it, I would hope her predecessor, Karine Jean-Pierre, is also, that would be an interesting comparison. To me, these are less important as they are just mouthpieces. But, one does wonder how they can say some of the things they are required to say.
I think Leavitt has the same condescending look at Trump. I think she’s incredibly smug.
Hi WhoCares,
I agree that there’s a cacophony at present over the Trump Administration in general.
With regard to HG potentially doing a Tudorscope analysis on specific people in Trump’s ‘inner circle’ – that is his Cabinet and advisors – I think there are two broad issues.
Firstly, considering Trump’s administration, if you home in on the individuals who are the ‘architects’ responsible for mapping out the blueprint (or strategic plan) of a specific policy, it’s fairly obvious who the individuals are. In this instance, it is the Secretary and advisors responsible for Homeland Security.
The second issue is that if HG was to do a Tudorscope analysis on one of the specific individuals ‘responsible’ for ‘Homeland Security,’ how could interest and attention be increased to make it worthwhile for HG to do so?
At the moment, the things happening with regard to ICE are getting a lot of attention online. There is a cacophony, for sure. There is also a lot of interest. A double-edged sword.
Just thinking out loud here…
HG tells us that ‘evidence’ is necessary when evaluating or refuting a narcissist’s lies, deflections and gaslighting.
Regarding the murder of Alex Pretti, the lies about him brandishing a gun, being a ‘domestic terrorist’ and planning to “massacre ICE agents” were quickly refuted by video evidence and analysis. The backlash against the government’s lies forced Trump and his spokespeople to retreat and change their initial announcements.
WC,
I think you make a good point about analyses of Kristi Noem or Karoline Leavitt potentially garnering attention.
I’ve watched a YouTube video in which an interview of Kristi Noem was analysed.
In the interview, she consistently ‘rewrote history’ with regard to the shooting of Renee Good. Noem changed the wording of her responses from minute to minute in order to control the narrative.
In the video I watched, Noem’s answers were dissected and compared to her previous responses. This made it clear she was reframing her answers to maintain the narrative that the ICE agent was justified in using deadly force.
If HG was to say, do a video analysis of a segment of a media announcement or an extract of an interview of Kristi Noem deflecting and rewriting history, or Karoline Leavitt doing the same, it may be relevant in demonstrating narcissism and it may also garner attention.
On a side note …
For reference, I attempted to find the video I watched to add the details here. The original interview is on CNN’s YouTube channel. It’s dated 12 Jan, 2026, and the interviewer is Jake Tapper.
In the course of my search I could not find the video I watched which analysed Noem’s responses. What I did find was a glut of similar ‘analysis’ videos posted in the last week or so. Many of these analysis videos appear to be AI. The ‘presenters’ are not real people.
It makes me think that AI is being used deliberately to deflect from and ‘bury’ legitimate content criticising, exposing and analysing Noem’s lies.
This is concerning. We are living in the ‘information age.’ Information in the form of AI is being used as a ‘weapon’ to obfuscate and muddy the truth of what is actually happening.
WC,
Initially, I didn’t expect or intend to write such a long reply. One thing led to another though. Now I think that what I’ve written is relevant to your comment even though it may not be directly responsive to what you said. I hope my reply still makes sense as a response though, inconclusive as it is.
What’s your opinion on him, WN? I suspect all in the Trump camp are narcissists – at minimum. I honestly can’t see how anyone could work for or with him and not have narcissistic traits – particularly comfort with lying.
But some of them I think might be psychopathic. I’d probably put Miller there.
Annaamel,
Everyone has narcissistic traits.
The Biden brain deterioration cover up, among other things, suggests it’s not only Republicans who must be comfortable with lying. Neither side is innocent in this.
Hi annaamel,
Considering Miller’s family history, I think he is definitely an absolute hypocrite who lacks empathy, conscience and self-awareness.
With regard to narcissism and psychopathy, from what I know of him, I think he is a narcissist with psychopathic and sadistic traits.
From his teen years at high school, he was an outspoken provocateur. He was described as having taunted immigrants back at high school.
He has actively sought attention, notoriety and influence on the basis of his conservative political views from that time onwards, particularly regarding his far-right views on immigration.
He has been involved with Trump since January 2016, when he joined Trump’s presidential campaign as a senior policy advisor. The length of time spent with Trump as a key person in both of Trump’s presidencies – especially in relation to speechwriting and policy creation – makes me think Miller is ruthless in his aims regarding his own political beliefs. He is very keen to promote and align with Trump, which is ominous.
Hi again annaamel,
Further to my previous comment, the following is just one example that provides an insight into Stephen Miller’s personality.
On 24 Jan 2026, about 3.5 hours after Alex Pretti was killed, Miller tweeted the following:
“A domestic terrorist tried to assassinate federal law enforcement and this is your response? You and the state’s entire Democrat leadership team have been flaming the flames of insurrection for the singular purpose of stopping the deportation of illegals who invaded the country.”
(Miller’s tweet was in response to Amy Klobuchar, a Democratic senator for Minnesota at the time of the tweet.)
Consider the following points with regard to Miller’s tweet:
1. the killing of Pretti had not yet been investigated;
2. the labeling of Pretti as a “domestic terrorist” proved to be a blatant lie;
3. the description of Pretti as an “assassin” or as “trying to assassinate” proved to be a blatant lie;
4. the statement: – “the state’s entire Democrat leadership team have been flaming the flames of insurrection” – is telling. It is absolutist and not based on facts or evidence. What does “flaming the flames of insurrection” actually mean and why say this in connection to the killing of an American citizen?
5. the statement: – “singular purpose of stopping the deportation of illegals who invaded the country” – is also telling for the same reasons as in 4.
Miller’s tweet actually sounds like projection. It is inflammatory and it is not based on facts or evidence.
Considering Miller’s tweet in light of the ‘evidence’ regarding Pretti’s killing, it is absurd and couldn’t be further from the truth.
Miller’s tweet sounds like he is accusing the Democrat senator of what he and Trump’s government are actually doing.
Hi Two & WN,
Thank you for explaining FOO. I had FOMO, lol!
I’ll definitely be stealing FOO & FOC! I love that!
lol Leigh. I heard a new acronym recently, JOSH the joy of staying home (one of my favourite hobbies!).
Lol! JOSH is perfect for how I feel now with this freezing weather!
Oh I bet Leigh! Stay warm and read HG (instead of “keep calm and carry on”). 😄❤️ Sending warmth!
You’re welcome, Leigh.
FOO reminds me of Foo Fighters, the rock band.
You could say that ACONs are Foo Fighters too, lol 😉😄
I like that WN ! 😄
ACONs are FOO Fighters too! I love that, WN! Even more so since I love Dave Grohl!
🤘🎸
Hi Leigh and two,
Thanks for your replies 😁😘
I like the Foo Fighters too although I’m not very familiar with them. The songs I can think of that I enjoy are ‘Best of You’ and ‘Times Like These.’ There are probably more but I’d have to look them up.
It makes me think that even as recently as the 90s, there were rock bands that were unique with less gimmicks and weirdness.
Now I don’t know what’s an actual new song and what’s AI. I watched a music video yesterday that I thought was a new song by Adele and Eminem singing together. Then I saw that it was AI generated. Someone made it by using Adele and Eminem’s voices and images.
AI is making things weird.
Knowing that narcissists have no empathy or remorse, plus they want fuel and control, the use of AI in the near future will be interesting.
Hi WN,
I agree that AI is making things very weird and scary! Its going to get harder and harder to disseminate the difference. Then what?
Interesting point about AI and narcissists, WN. I feel fortunate now to have been a teen in the 90s with nirvana, pearl jam, FF and so many great bands and artists.
Hi Leigh,
“Then what?”
Indeed – the potential for widespread disinformation is scary.
I think it’s going to be even more important to check the original sources of information and verify the credibility of those sources.
This week, I watched a TV program about current events and the topic of ‘epistemology’ was discussed.
In a nutshell, epistemology is the theory of knowledge. It is concerned with how humans understand reality and the validity of our understanding. As a theory, it considers how information is gathered, and from which sources.
In the program I watched, the discussion centred on the way ‘knowledge’ has traditionally been based on specific and defined sources. These specific sources of information have certain qualifications and structured parameters. For example, the principles underlying journalism. Or say, the legal principles underlying judicial decisions. Another example is the way researchers base their experiments on certain methods and measurements of data.
In recent times, the rise of social media and the many online sources of information have changed the defined and structured way information and ‘knowledge’ is produced.
If you consider the following:
a) there are many more sources of information available that may or may not be credible or verified; and
b) the number of narcissists is rising (i.e. people without empathy and conscience)
… I think the rise of AI is going to mean it will be even more important to consider the sources of information; how the information is gathered; how the information is being used; and the effects of the information.
All this means that critical thinking is going to be even more relevant.
Hi WN,
“All this means that critical thinking is going to be even more relevant.”
I think a lack of critical thinking is one of biggest issues we face right now. I believe less and less people even try to discern the difference between fact and opinion. They believe everything they see on social media and the internet is accurate. Its only going to get worse with AI.
“I think it’s going to be even more important to check the original sources of information and verify the credibility of those sources.”
I agree! I find myself already doing that. I find myself digging deeper to make sure the information I have is correct.
I also agree that with narcissism on the rise that will lead to a rampant spread of disinformation. Its scary to think that it could get worse than what’s already happening now.
Hi Two,
I’ve been thinking about this conversation about “abuse lite” or “mild abuse”. Sometimes when these conversations happen on the blog, they inadvertently help others. For a minute, I would’ve classified my narc husband’s abuse as abuse lite or mild abuse. But this conversation actually reminded me that his manipulations are actually much more insidious. With my father and somewhat even with my mother, I knew what was coming. There was a clear definition for what they were doing. That’s not the case with my narc husband. His manipulations are so subtle that you almost can’t explain them. I know how it made me feel though. He made me feel like there must be something wrong with me and that’s why the abuse isn’t mild or lite.
Hi Two,
Its me again, lol! I got sidetracked so I had to cut my previous message short.
I wanted to also say that I’m sorry about the passing of your kitty. I hope your kitty is resting in peace.
I’m so sorry that you had those situations with you mom and your birthday. I’m glad your husband was able to help you see the pattern and you’ve been able to put that boundary in place. Its because the day is about you & that wounds them. All eyes have to be on them. Mr. Tudor has an article on it.
https://narcsite.com/2025/05/22/birthday-blues-19/
I love hearing your thoughts Leigh. Yes you’re right. I have a kind of begrudging respect for the lessers and “out there” narcs, the more I learn. “What you see is what you get”. It’s the sneaky, insidious behaviours that make you question your sanity that are so infuriating.. though of course they all are really. 🙄
Thank you re kitty 🙏🐈❤️ and birthdays.. I’ll read that now.. yes God forbid the spotlight is off them for a second haha. Funnily enough years ago I used to look up about mother’s ruining birthdays and obviously bypassed the narcissism references till I was ready to know. Anyway, I have lovely quiet birthdays that I enjoy now thankfully. No drama. I identified with WC sharing about her mum creating parties etc that weren’t her thing.
Ps how’s your weather in NYC?
Hi Two,
I saw your comment to WC about “death by a thousand cuts”. I just said that to a friend of mine recently! That’s exactly it! Its death by a thousand cuts!
We survived the snowstorm. Thank you for asking! I can’t deal with these temperatures though! Its way too cold for me.
Great minds 🤓 it does sum up feeling with a lot of narcs, doesn’t it Leigh? 🙄
Glad you’re ok.. I don’t blame you. That sounds very cold 🥶 life in the UK has felt balmy compared to a lot of the US recently and that’s not how I’d normally describe winter here! Stay warm x
Hi Two,
I think we’re like two peas in a pod, lol!
You said to WN, “I’m pretty quiet (until you get to know me 😄)” – That’s me too! I describe myself as an introvert until I’m not and then you can’t shut me up! LOL!
When I think about the past, its been the narcs that have been the best at drawing me out. Ugh! That’s gross, lol!
Any plans on getting a new kitty?
Hi Leigh,
I hope you and others in winter zones are staying warm and safe.
The snow storms in the US and the resulting power outages have affected many. Hope the freezing blast of cold weather eases soon.
We do seem to have an uncanny amount of things in common Leigh! 😄 I know what you mean about the narcs drawing you out. Little fuckers! 🙄😄
Thanks for asking re kitty. It’s tempting but we’ve been “cat parents” for over two decades since decided to take a break, to have holidays again (we couldn’t go away because of cat health stuff). I’m just watching them on YouTube for now 🐾🥰
Hi Two,
“Little fuckers” – That made me giggle! Little fuckers is right!
I totally understand about the kitties cramping your style a bit. I have 5. Yikes, lol! It’ll be nice to have some time to travel without having to worry about your furry friend.
Your hubby sound like a wise man. Imprinting is exactly it. Mr. Tudor talks about it in his article, Everpresence.
https://narcsite.com/2024/01/24/everpresence-13/
I did the same as you. I became a hermit and dove into educating myself about narcissism. A lot of talking on the blog too. It helped me work through things and peel those onion layers.
I remember an interview that Mr. Tudor was doing and he said that Queen Elizabeth had been conditioned to act a certain way. It was actually in that moment when I realized if the Queen can be conditioned, so can I.
Its often the little nuggets like that, that help me the most.
Sorry I missed your reply Leigh #littlefuckers 😄 I’ll check that article out, thank you. Yes, we can change for sure. Good point about the Queen. 👌
Dear HG,
I am eternally grateful that you use your pretty amygdala and other considerable talents for something more interesting than clambering 500m up the facade of a building.
That’s kind of you but as an Extreme Ice Cream Delivery Man, there are occasions I’ll scamper up the outside of the Shard with a pair of Cornettos.
The Cornettos make all the difference! Apart from yourself, of course.
When you scale The Shard, you have a purpose, one that goes beyond bragging rights or proving that you are the better monkey.
There’s no monkeying around in the world of extreme ice cream sales, AP, let me assure you of that!
Exactly! Somebody might drop the ice cream.
Although now I have this image in my head of you sitting down with your team for a debrief back at base after the latest successful operation and immediately they all start grooming each other.
Dear Mr Tudor,
Narcfest in Davos, now that would’ve been an awesome HG lesson in itself haha
What say you Mr Tudor?
Hi HG,
Did you watch the debate between Ana Kasparian and Pearl Davis?
I think it’s very interesting.
In my opinion they are both narcissists…
could you do an analysis???
No, I did not watch it.
Heard you say that negative fuel is more potent than positive fuel. More potent even than knowing someone is touching themselves to you?
Yes.
Seriously?
Getting someone to touch themselves because of me is straightforward even more so in a relationship. It’s pure positive fuel.
Drawing negative fuel (as I’ve explained before) is less straightforward and is thus more potent.
Having a girlfriend touch themselves in front of me would provide a more fuelled response than a stranger responding in a hurt way in an email. Can you work out why and why that would be different?
Interesting. I’m guessing their position in the fuel matrix?
Partially.
Hi Two,
Its not just their position in the fuel matrix. There’s another reason for the difference in the fuel. Think about how they’re receiving the fuel.
Yes, I totally understand the Stanger vs someone close to you difference. It’s that you get “off” more on hurting someone than giving them pleasure when it comes to you part I struggle with.
I also don’t get why someone touching themselves in front of another would be a turn on. My husband has asked me repeatedly to do it for him but I can’t bring myself to do it. Maybe that’s the hook, it’s a deeply personal act? I certainly don’t feel the need to watch him do it. Maybe it’s a bigger turn on for men?
if she feels ashamed and uncomfortable doing that, is it a negative fuel or it’s a mix of both positive and negative ones?
It’s negative.
Thank you for the reply.
Two, narcissism is and will always be aramaic to my mind and soul but I bet it’s Fuel in presence and from a primary source versus written fuel from a tertiary source.
anyone for ice cream?
Two, narcissism is and always will be aramaic to my mind and soul but I bet it’s Fuel in presence and from a primary source versus written fuel from a tertiary source.
“if she feels ashamed and uncomfortable doing that, is it a negative fuel”
“It’s negative.”
HG,
Not counting psychopaths who would different drivers, would rape *always* be an example of a narcissist gaining power from the negative fuel of the victim?
It would.
A woman either performs or lets herself go. I never thought of it as a show. Touching myself next to a man while his tongue plays with my nipple makes me come vigorously. I’ve never yet found a man who can move like my hand does. To me it is not about giving pleasure to him but to me.
I have made a note.
Aha! PS. I’ve just read your Thought Fuel article. In addition to more potent scope for control, the in-person scenario would be ‘Proximate Fuel’, correct? That would be greater fuel than a complaining email from a tertiary source. This is partly due to your having seduced the intimate partner and thus know them better, in terms of manipulation and control, eg, likes, dislikes, triggers, etc?
Yes.
I agree, Laura Neptune.
That looked weird! I was agreeing to your comment to me Laura, not just randomly joining in on the nipple convo lol 😄🖲️🖲️🥴
Yeah, yeah.
Hehe 🧐
Make good use of it, Tudor
Ahah, Two, Can’t hide anything from Tudor, can you?
lol indeed Laura. He “got me” 😄
Thanks Leigh and HG,
doh, yes, fuel is more potent in person. 🙏
I was wondering why the girlfriend touching herself in front of you would generate a bigger fuel response than the angry email.
She is higher in the fuel matrix, and this is an in-person interaction.
Are there any other reasons?
Maybe the sense of control is higher, since you were probably the one who made her do it or inspired her to do it?
Maybe also the fact that you can devalue her nicely afterwards, shame her, because the situation was so intimate, and you would get lots of fuel from that.
Also, if I understand this correctly, the fuel you receive from a person is any kind of emotional reaction, whether positive or negative, right?
Proximity. There are more “ribbons of fuel” from an in person interaction than one through writing. Do see the book, Fuel.
Dear Mr Tudor,
Having watched your YT video regarding Brooklyn Beckham (great video btw), I noticed some comments referring to “parents” (whose adult children have dissociated themselves) indicating the “parents” have either done something bad or really wrong OR must be narcissists themselves for them to leave and end it.
Do “adult children” also cut themselves off from their family (even if their family is considered normal) JUST by being ensnared by a narcissist only ?
It appears, people’s perceptions are, that it must always be the parent’s fault (we made them leave)
Very interested in your thoughts
Many thanks
It is frequently the case that where a person has been ensnared by a narcissist in an intimate relationship where they are the IPPS, there will be a problematic relationship with the IPPS´family. This may even lead to the IPPS cutting themselves off from that family. This occurs owing to the smearing by the narcissist and when the family react to the smearing (combined with trying to warn/help the IPPS because the family have witnessed the narcissist behaving badly) this is seen as evidence by the narcissist that the family are the problem and this is then highlighted to the unwitting IPPS. Thus, they often become conditioned to regard their family as the problem.
Dear Mr Tudor,
I really appreciate your reply, many thanks.
It certainly is a very sad state of affairs to verbally bash your parents worldwide on a personal level or to even write a book. Personally, I don’t think one gains any brownie points by doing so.
I agree Bubbles. From what I’ve seen of him I wonder if he’s an empath but apart from the genuine problems with his family I imagine his empathy has eroded thanks to Nicola. Not a good move though.
Myself and hubby often say how we could appear like Brooklyn and Nicola or tow and harry, to my family as I’ve had to distance from my mum which impacts on attending things generally too. Every situation is different isn’t it and it can look similar to outsiders but can be the opposite.
Us non narcs have to be as honest with ourselves as much we can to check our own behaviour is ok but the narcs of course will just continue on hurting others. It’s hard when people think we’re the “abuser” or problem though. I’ve noticed outside of HGs channel people don’t seem to “get it”. There has to be a side, and people jump on the bandwagon 🤷♀️ I hope you’re doing ok. ❤️ You sound like a lovely parent.
Dear two,
It’s staggering how Harry and Brooklyn have so much to complain about being brought up so privileged into famous household names.
Blabbing like they have, eventually backfires because if they can’t be trusted with privacy issues, they can’t be trusted period.
Be interesting to see how their relationship moves on from here seeing as Brooklyn has really no formal qualifications of anything. Self taught haha
Without the Beckham name, you certainly wouldn’t look twice at him haha
I now see Jimmy Carr has new material for his show haha
Yes, all situations are different two, however, as soon as you see a shift from the family dynamics, one needs to question, why? Oh look, there’s a narc involved! Haha
It’s easier to point the finger at non narcs two, because from what I’ve observed, people truly don’t understand narcissism.
Our family has been brought up around the dining table with stories to tell. It’s the ultimate compliment when our adult kids reminisce with fond memories of their childhood. The dining table has always been our focal point and still is. We think we done ok ….. bar one haha
,
Hi bubbles,
I know. I get the impression Brooklyn is basically a nice guy but not too sharp and overly influenced presumably, by his wife.
I’m guessing he won’t be expecting money from the beckhams anymore so if they divorce hopefully he’ll be ok. I guess he could sell a car or two to keep him going lol.
I do feel for him with David being a narc, and from stories I’ve seen recently it sounds like the parents enjoyed leaking things to the press. Money doesn’t buy everything does it? and i wonder how Victoria’s empathy has eroded in the situation over the years. Apparently she was in nyc on his 18th, shopping which seems odd.
Maybe the bar one for you, was always out of your hands. 🤷♀️ You sound like you did good. Sometimes weird shit happens in life (that’s my recent motto! It seems to over it). Hugs 💗
Hi TS,
“Things that might make us happy in the short term might make us unhappy in the long term.”
Boy oh boy, do I know that to be true. Instant gratification often can bite us in the ass.
“I think “ being at ease with my decisions” is likely more important to me personally than the ephemeral feeling of happiness or the idea I achieved it.”
I agree with this very much. I think happiness is fleeting. I think being content brings more peace than happiness.
Hi Leigh,
Peace is probably the right word. I link peace to calm often though and I associate calm with zen, then zen with meditation. Oh please don’t make me do meditation. Haha! Always the patterns and connections with me.
But
I think peace is probably the right word!
Yes, with reference to your other comment to me, I think we see and react to passive aggression in a very similar way.
Hi TS,
I’m responding here to your comment to Bubbles because I got tired of scrolling.
“I feel absolutely nothing for my mum. I don’t hate her, blame her, wish ill on her. I don’t love her, like her, or mourn the loss of the idea of her. I feel absolutely nothing whatsoever. Actually, occasionally I feel irritation.”
I could’ve said those exact words myself. Its exactly how I feel about my mother too. Its also how I feel about my husband.
I can really relate to how you described it as being at ease with your decisions. That’s how I feel as well. For now, I’m at ease with making the decision to stay with my narc husband. That might change at some point. Who knows. What I do know is just thinking about putting myself in financial chaos or ambiguity caused me more stress than staying with him. That’s why I made the decision to stay.
But I want to say this also, maybe that’s my ET conning me into staying also.
Hi Leigh
I think the downside of ANC is that there is still impact. For me, there is zero emotional impact, but it will impact my future decision making. I plan to start travelling in the next year or so. Travelling a lot. It’s conceivable that in the future, there will be periods of time where I could travel but am obligated to remain to deal with my mum’s ill health for example. So it will impact me in terms of responsibility and the prevention of what I might want to do, rather than emotion. That kind of goes with the territory of being an only child too.
Similarly, I can understand your choice based on financial stability. Again your staying will likely not impact emotionally ( both of us will see a degree of elevation ET wise but likely no more than we experience currently) but it could conceivably prevent you from finding more peace for yourself, or happiness elsewhere.
I think for now, I view it in terms of time will tell. If I am prevented too much from doing what I want to do, then I’ll have to amend my approach if or when that happens. It might not. There are other things that might prevent me travelling as much as I intend. Children, grand children ( a while off yet) will also impact my decision making, far more than anything related to my mum. Really, this is just normal life in many ways. Considerations many people have to factor in even with non narc parents.
Possibly it’s a little different for you. It’s hard to quantify what staying with your husband will cost in terms of a future you might otherwise have. Ultimately it’s a risk reward scenario, but it isn’t set in stone either. If we want change then we must change something or everything remains the same. Currently, I have my plan and I’m making it with the information available. Different information results in different plans.
I agree, TS. There’s definitely still impact with ANC, just not emotional. I have a friend whose concerned the stress might affect my health. I dont feel stressed though. I know some worry about when the next shoe is going to drop, but that’s not the case with me. I’m not in a state of hyper vigilance.
Its definitely a risk vs reward scenario for me. At some point the risk vs reward might change. At that point, if I need to, I can change my mind.
With my mom, I got lucky and the universe took care of it for me. She’s a victim narc though too. She fell one day and was in the hospital for about a week. She had to go to rehab for a couple of weeks to build up her strength. Once she was in there and saw how well she was taken care of, she didn’t want to leave. She has agoraphobia too so this setting works perfectly for her because she’s still getting medical care.
Honestly though, I think even if she wanted to come live with me, I’m not sure what I would’ve done. She didn’t take care of me as a child. She didn’t take care of my basic necessities. I had to grow up really quick. If I had to take care of her, that would’ve caused me stress. The risk would’ve outweighed the reward, so I probably wouldn’t have done it. I’m high in selfishness and it does come out sometimes.
Hi Leigh,
Hell would have to freeze over before I allowed my mum to live with me. I don’t see that as selfish. I see it as self preservation.
She barely allowed my dad to visit my grandma in her final months. A fact that I will be more than happy to use should the occasion arise.
TS,
The hell freezing over comment made me a giggle a little bit. I totally get it! There was a moment though when I worried about where my mother would go. My mother didn’t own her home. My grandmother did. Ironically, very early on when my mother was in rehab, my grandmother died and she didn’t leave the house to my mother. It went to my uncle and he sold it. My mother had no where to go. My uncle is a piece of shit. He wouldn’t even let me in to get my stuff out. Anyway, there was a time where I had to consider her moving in with me. She has quite a bit wrong with her including being legally blind. That’s of her own doing though. She has cataracts and has done nothing about them. So she was eligible to stay and she was ok with it so it all worked out in the end. But for a minute, I was freaking out about what I would do.
Its interesting how things have changed though. I don’t visit my mother. I haven’t in 6 years. Once I learned about narcissism, it changed my perspective and a line was drawn.
I’m sorry your mother didn’t allow your dad to see his mother as much as he wanted. I can sense your justice trait lighting up there. I would react similarly.
Leigh,
Moving in with my parents to care for my dad would have been a different decision had I known about narcissism, that my parents were/are narcs. It would not have happened had I been aware then.
I am glad for you that your mother’s situation was resolved without you having to add her to your home. Last thing you need on top of a narc husband.
Hi AV,
I agree. I’m sure knowing about narcissism definitely would’ve influenced my decision too. I might not have even entertained my mother moving in with me if I knew then that my mother was a narcissist.
Since I’ve learned about narcissism, its drastically changed my relationship with her. Before I knew, I would visit her quite often. Now, I don’t visit at all.
I agree with y’all on this discussion btw. ✊ Hubby and I are in agreement about not having any “spare” bedrooms too for this reason. We wouldn’t allow it to happen with my mum anyway but we all know how sneaky they can be?! 🥷
Hi Leigh,
“That’s of her own doing though.” Yes it is.
Lack of accountability has consequences. Just because they refuse to acknowledge them, doesn’t make them any the less real.
“Lack of accountability has consequences. Just because they refuse to acknowledge them, doesn’t make them any the less real.”
Yes! Thanks TS. sometimes it seems related to object permanency.. like toddlers pretending it hasn’t happened.
“…like toddlers pretending it hasn’t happened.” – That’s a perfect description!
Hey Leigh 👋it’s true isn’t it? 😅 They just need a dummy (pacifier) to keep thrm quiet! 🍼
Wow. David Beckham. Good facade 🤔 tho calling Katherine Jenkins a c u next Tuesday, blipped him on my radar. Thank you for the analysis HG. 👌
Dear Mr Tudor,
Oops, missed one
I see the NHS in Britain are saying there are benefits to 1st cousin marriages 🤐
Gaslighting, manipulation, lying, deception being played out openly…narc paradise!
What say you Mr Tudor ? 🤐
Here is some context
“NHS England has removed an article examining the subject of first cousin marriage after a public backlash.
A blog published on 22 September by NHS England’s Genomics Education Programme said that marriage between first cousins had “various potential benefits,” while acknowledging that children of first cousins had an increased chance of being born with a genetic condition.
The blog has now been removed after NHS England came under fierce criticism for publishing it, including from the MP who has proposed changing UK law to outlaw marriage between first cousins, known as consanguinity.12
NHS England said that it withdrew the article because it had been published by mistake. It said that the blog was not intended as policy or advice to clinicians but as a summary of existing public policy debate.”
It would appear that a person authored a blog suggesting that there were some benefits from first cousin marriages. This prompted a backlash resulting in the blog being removed. It would appear this was the view of someone in the NHS as opposed to the policy of the NHS as a whole.
That’s a relief 😅
Many thanks
Dear Mr Tudor,
I see Wales has a new Health n Wealth ambassador 🤐
I see only 3 pages of our Hate Speech were binned 🤐
I see we have a new Hate Speech Bill 🤐
|||👮🏻♂️|||
What say you Mr Tudor? 🤐
Hello bubbles,
“I see Wales has a new Health n Wealth ambassador ” – I am unclear as to your point in drawing attention to this.
“Only 3 pages of our Hate Speech were binned” – I do not understand the context of this observation nor its relevance.
“we have a new Hate Speech Bill” – are you referring to the proposed legislation in Australia? If so, what is the purpose of drawing attention to it?
Dear Mr Tudor,
Please disregard my comment and consider it irrelevant, my intent was one of cheeky humour, however, I failed miserably! I sincerely apologise.
Many thanks for your reply.
Hi again HG, i came across the name Alessandro Serenelli in my reading old threads and was trying to work out what happened if one is to believe his conversion. I’m guessing a non narc, genuinely repenting…🤔
I have no idea who that is.
Thanks HG. 🙏
Alessandro Serenelli, was an Italian man, who is known for being the murderer of an eleven-year-old girl, Maria Goretti. He attempted to seduce and rape her and stabbed her 14 times, which mortally wounded her.
While serving 27 years in prison for his crime, he reported seeing a vision of his victim in which she repeated to him how she had forgiven him on her deathbed. From then, he was converted and became a model prisoner. Upon his release, he worked as a gardener, porter and lay brother in a convent of Franciscan Capuchin friars in the Marche until his death.
Thank you for explaining.
Pleasure HG. I’ve always wondered about stories like this. Also like Mark Rowan the gangster turned vicar:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2199123/Crime-prays-Former-gangster-jailed-drugs-violence-theft-turns-life-VICAR.html
Ps thank you for the Beckham video 🙏
RANT time…..
HG launches his blog in 2015. Launches his original YouTube channel around 2016. Launches his latest YouTube channels later…….. YT subscriber numbers still remain utterly and unfairly suppressed…….yes, I’m bringing it up.
Again.
Youtube Hype launches August 2024. Aimed to “boost smaller channels” (under 500,000 subscribers). ‘Hype’ is only available on mobile phone apps. Available in some countries.
It seems to me, that, only the “special” ones are given the “support”. Those that do NOT challenge. Those that do NOT say anything. Those that OBJECT to the force-feeding of ‘you are not allowed to be human beings and must become robotised by lobotomy and obey the the “dystopian” AI-run world’. It seems to me, that current and future generations are not allowed to think for themselves, speak for themselves (never mind for other people in need!), or make choices for themselves. those so-called RIGHTS are being eroded. For what?!
Control.
In this circumstance, it is about CONTROL. Fuel comes second.
That is my opinion. It may not be a correct, factual opinion. But it is my opinion. My experiences. My perception…… oops, I am not allowed that either !!!
Your rant is well-founded. I have observed some unusual activity in relation to both views and subscriber activity recently. I’m writing this as I’m being thrown around in the back of a vehicle so will expand when the terrain proves more conducive to writing.
Mr. Tudor, do you prefer driving or being driven in these circumstances?
Being driven.
Dear HG,
Why do you prefer to be driven, than driving , in that circumstance? Do you usually prefer to drive, in nornal situations? Xx
I can’t serve the ice cream if I’m driving.
Narcissistic noisette or psychopathic praline, HG? 🍨
Oh I do not eat it, so the choice is yours. You can have any flavour of ice cream as long as I have selected it for you.
😄HG, but how does one eat the ice cream while driving? 😄xx
I do not.
I am very glad you are thinking of the ice cream. It is so important to have your scoop filled and ready at all times. Those zealots trying to shovel their inferior product down people’s throats or even break the whole bowl need to be stopped. Thank you for your service on behalf of all ice cream lovers and producers.
You are welcome. It is a matter of personal pride to ensure that people have something creamy down their throat.
Or supernova swirl? 🍥
Very popular at present.
Dear HG,
What neighborhood are you traveling in that has such rough terrain while serving ice cream? 🤔😄xx
That is confidential information subjected to the Good and Proper Ordinances of Ice Cream Delivery.
Mr Whippy.
Dear HG,
I meant the one driving, how do they eat and drive? A very dangerous activity going down the road….😄xx
They are not allowed to eat and drive.
It’s a vital public service, especially during cold season! Maybe we should get you a prescription too, for a flavour along the lines of mint-and-honey cidre (ice cream, syrup or liquor, your choice), or “homicidre” for short, to keep you firing on all cylinders and always humming along as smoothly.
Thank you for answering, sir. Much appreciated.
Dealers choice, HG. 😉 I got it.
Thank you for your replies, HG! Xx
AspAmp,
I agree with you, I also noticed that not all of HG’s videos have they HYPE options, which sucks because there are more that I would love to hype! Another thing I want to point out is, I can only hype three videos a week! That sucks too! I think they need to offer all the videos for hyping option and we need to be allowed to hype as many as we want! Why put a limit on the amount allowed and which is allowed to be hyped?? I see no reason to limit the amount, nor which one can be hyped! It’s not right! Xx
I wondered that Rebecca. I’ve come to the conclusion that only “new” videos can be hyped. 🤷♀️ I save my hypes for HG, a small way to pay it back.
Hi two,
I only hype HG’s videos, somehow that sounds naughty. 😄xx
Lol. Each to their own Rebecca 😉😂 I have a good hype on Monday mornings when they’re available again!!
Hi Rebecca, indeed, it seems to me that the ‘hype’ “facility” is only available to, dare I suggest, a “select” few and only for a “certain” type….. hence my stating and utilising the word “suppression”, more than once on HG’s blog and relating to the same source of contention (a particular “tube” that appears to fit in one type of “cube”!). Despite the income generated using HG’s members / subscriptions, a particular “source of contention” still applies the restrictions just because (I’m assuming) that HG permits the use of Freedom of Speech, does not discriminate etc etc (recall his video rant about Roald Dahl’s works being “re-worded” – I’ve referred to Lt Colin West’s quote in regard to history cannot be re-written simply because people don’t like it but should use it to learn from).
We should be permitted to hype the fk out of HG’s videos !
Its almost like jealous narcissists are running YouTube.
True NA ☝️😄
“This guy’s giving all our secrets away”!
Yes, BOT on BOT more like.
Right, AspAmp! Every week, I get told that I already hyped 3 videos and it won’t let me hype more. I pointed this out to HG too. It’s really frustrating when you want to support HG’s works as much as you can and you get limited to how much you can help. The hype option needs to be unlimited! Xx
I agree with you, Rebecca. Limitations indeed! The key to understanding narcissism may be available, yet, it does not necessarily unlock doors.
Hyoercycle likes to send terroristic threats to pregnant rape victims. Trash is trash why don’t you hype the truth for a change.
Asp Amp,
My daughter told me recently that people who use AI, Chat specifically, are showing up with psychosis in higher numbers than the average population. She’s terrified of it for that reason. I also don’t like the algorithms used by AI, they are going to block out segments of the population. Your rant, your perspective, is quite reasonable.
Hi AV, thank you for the prompt to do a teeny bit of reading, and, no, I did not use AI Chat thingy. Apparently it is old news, not a new threat. I read the words “talk with actual people” and “fueling delusions in vulnerable users” (when not ALL of the “users” are actually vulnerable, yet, can adopt “characteristics” from other people, now, where have we ‘heard’ that from, I wonder?). The ‘hype’ about the supposedly ‘algorithms’ are what “leads” to computer generated “promotional” calculations are not necessarily AI ‘controlled’ (in my belief) as the evidence speaks for itself – unless a human designed specific program entered into the AI “system” by a computer programmer was entered into the artifical matrix of the internet, or, a rogue satallite. Conspiracy Theories have existed for thousands of years. Thank you for “quite reasonable”. I appreicate it.
Thank you for the information. I didn’t look into it, even once she said it. I have no plan to use it so not an issue for me personally. I don’t actually know if anyone in my real life who does. Interesting and not surprising explanation behind it, thanks again.
Thank you AV. I avoid using it myself as I prefer to stick with what I feel safer with. Yet, it should not be forced on people either, however, they could end up being more isolated if others do not assist the person (ie being the ‘link’ in between technology and humanity) from being in that position in the first place. It is not always about facing the fears unless there is back-up support / guidance and still offering the choice(s) / option(s). Thank you for sharing your views.
Old news should be in prison along with AI but no one has the balls to speak the truth other than me.
Dear Asp Emp,
The latest news update, AI will now kill, in order to save its own preservation …. that’s reassuring to know.
Hi Bubbles, quite a number of scientists / mathematicians prophesised decades ago that it would happen. Does AI answer the question of what is considered more important when it comes to saving the planet Earth? AI or humanity?
How are you & Mr Bubbles doing? x
Dearest AspEmp,
The robots can literally talk to each other in “robot code”, now that’s alarming !
These evil psychopathic “elites” who believe they are God, are playing a very sick dangerous game and it WILL backfire.
AI was built by humans and relies on human responsibility. Without humans there are no robots.
“Mother Nature” is the only source with its own natural power to destroy.
The way we’re headed ?!?!?
Ps Mr Bubbles is dealing with continued health issues ….it’s a struggle AspEmp, however, we remain positive ….so kind of you to ask ☺️
Dear Bubbles, quite possibly, some of these people who prophesized / designed technology for the good of humanity / planet Earth decades ago (the past) did not intend to cause damage for the future of mankind (the present). However, as you correctly point out, some people just wanted to have control (back then, and, now).
Mother Nature was always a powerful force, some humans embraced her, others didn’t. It’s the future generations that should be educated on the history of nature / environment before narcissism completely takes control over the areas where compassion is needed in order for the survival of other areas of life on Earth.
I do understand how difficult it must be for you and Mr Bubbles. It’s good to see you when you comment, I’m just remembering when we talked about using the old & heavy typewriters as doorstops, never mind the parrot conversation! You are a lovely couple and I’m sending my love to you both xx
Because AI is a serial rapist who people pay to spike their drinks with date rape drugs and assault them.
Agreed, Asp Amp!
I have noticed some very benign channels growing exponentially even to the YouTubers surprise (a bloke doing up a normal house in the Cotswolds gets 15k subs in 4 weeks) whereas others 🤷♀️ good for them but it does all seem odd, I agree Asp.
Agree Asp Emp,
A new channel came up in my feed recently. Nothing to do with narcissism, all about a guy moving to my local area. This guy isn’t famous. He has 5 videos up on his channel and 11.5k subscribers.
Video 1. 92k views. 4 weeks ago.
Video 2. 32k views. 3 weeks ago.
Video 3. 24kviews. 2 weeks ago.

I don’t get it. Those are high viewing figures for a brand new channel. Lots of AI generated channels have sprung up too, often with high viewing figures. I thought YouTube was trying to limit those. Clearly not.
I think that’s the one that caught my attention too, TS. He seems like a nice enough guy and ok videos about doing up his house but I’m not sure why he’s sky rocketing on YT.
Hi Two,
Haha, yep that’s the one. Too nice if you ask me. Very calm, very soft spoken, very slow, very gentle. Makes me want to put fireworks in his log burner or run around making noise. “LIVEN UP FOR GOD’S SAKE!”
Hehe. That made me laugh! I love “rambling wild Rosie’s” YouTube channel, she basically completely rebuilt the interior of her house in rural Sweden with timber she collects on her bike, so this guy’s just doing up his house seems s bit understated. Not that I’m good at either lol but it is odd how many views he’s getting and enough that we’ve both noticed it too… 🤔
Yes exactly Two. I assumed he landed in my feed due to location. I have a thing about location when I’m using apps, I think I have everything turned off but I still think I’m visible through what I search or sites I visit. I’m not very techie. Technically my security should be good but I do get ads and recommendations that often make me wonder.
If it helps re location and your phone TS, I don’t live in your part of the UK and he was also pushed on my feed. Maybe they think people who like HG will like him. As you said though, he’s a bit too “sedate”. Nothing like HG ..😄
Hi Two,
Ok thank you, that’s good to know. I’m an intensely private person and dare I say a touch paranoid about just how invasive those covert algorithms are!
Hi TS,
I get it ☺️ I’m the same! Not a bad thing x
Truthsee, quite detailed info about this guy. Perfume may mask the scent, while smiling sweetly at him.
Hi Asp,
Haha! Perfume, smile, no problemo!
