#sociopathy — Public Fediverse posts

There's a meme on FB that asks why no billionaire has funded the halting or reversal of climate change, just so people would revere them for literally saving humanity. This was my response:

Partly it involves a process change to everything we do, so it doesn't happen on a specific day and so there is no glory, like saving us from an asteroid that's about to destroy Earth. There is no definitive problem that on a certain day you can say "see, it's done".

Partly because the solutions involve changing how everything on the planet operates in a way that many people will regard as adverse, because even though we talk about caring about our kids, people are really a lot in it for themselves and if it comes down to them having a good time or leaving a livable world for their kids, they're going to have a good time and pretend to hope their kids will survive it.

Partly it's that there's good money in pretending it's not a big deal, and these are people who like to use money as their signal of goodness. To the extent they pretend they care about humanity, in many cases they're just trying to make a profit on the fact that others do.

Partly it's that the solution is actually something that even billionaires don't have enough to just buy outright overnight.

Partly it's that it cuts into their lifestyles, in many cases, because the are some of the most planet-intensive people in existence. One of the things we need to do in order to survive as a species is stop being consumption-oriented and they are the poster-children for consumption.

Partly it's that they do not perceive that the threat is to all of humanity, only to some of it, and they think the people who escape it will be the clever ones, who they imagine are the ones with money. They think that by becoming rich, they have avoided it, and that they are humanity's best chance.

Partly it's that they have a bunker in their basement that is prepper-stocked with what they imagine is everything they need and they just don't care about others.

Partly it's that although we revere them as super-smart for getting to where they are, we over-attribute intelligence and under-attribute sociopathy. So, yes, they don't care that much about others, but also they aren't in a lot of cases the smartest among us.

Partly it's that everything else they do they already model as saving humanity in one way or another, so the "high" of having these alleged bragging rights would not last long.

Partly it's that their notion of what "investing" in has nothing to do with outcomes you want to see in the world, and everything to do with what brings monetary return, which steers them in the wrong direction.

Partly they think there are too many people and it's good that most of them will die, so they are doing humanity a favor by culling its numbers. (I'm not going to get into the racial breakdown of the order in which people die, but there's probably a lot to be said there, too.)

Partly they may just do the calculation that there are cheaper ways to get adulation.

Full of admiration for New Zealand Dr. Shane Hunphy.

Faced with staff having increased fuel prices because of Trump's psychopathic war inclinations, he is helping his staff financially ... and invoicing the Trump administration for the costs they are causing.

This is how to frame it, people.
Narcissism, sociopathy and psychopathy cost us all and decrease quality of life for ALL... so put the accountability and costs on their doorstep, literally, even if only in narrative, but better still legally and/financially.

Corrupt, billionaire biased, religiously warped US Armageddonist politics and narrative are costing us all, psychologically and physically. Enough is enough.

Why all this energy spent on destroying #democracy, & ignoring #Constitution, #law, and #WeThePeople?

Might be a clue among 37 felonies, the #crime spree (& celebration) of #Jan6, and the massive #coverup of the #TrumpEpsteinFiles

Dismantling #Justice - even starting a #war

Literally "unprecedented", so much, in all the wrong ways.

He will destroy the whole world before allowing #truth #justice #accountability

It's all about HIM & his rage.

@wdlindsy

All of this cements the need to recognize and identify Trump not only as monstrous grifter, accused multiple rapist and court-sanctioned sex offender, but also as a mass murderer.

Added to his assassinations of Caribbean fishermen and supposed 'drug runners' (and outside of the domestic deaths arising from his administration's grossly negligent and gratuitously hostile policies) his kill count will now number in the hundreds if not thousands.

"Should you use AI for financial advice?

Andrew Lo, a finance professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Sloan School of Management, says not yet. Large language models like Copilot or ChatGPT aren’t suited to being used as financial advisers because they are the digital equivalent of sociopaths—smooth, persuasive and devoid of empathy.

If an adviser powered by artificial intelligence “is able to communicate both good and bad financial advice with the same pleasant and convincing affect, its clients will rightfully view this as a problem,” Lo and one of his graduate students, Jillian Ross, wrote in 2024 in an article for the Harvard Data Science Review. (Today’s robo advisers, like those offered by Betterment and Wealthfront, went into action before the era of large language models and aren’t built on them for the most part, so Lo’s critiques don’t apply to them.)

Still, people are already using AI tools for help with their finances.
This past August, a survey of 11,000 individual investors in 13 countries commissioned by eToro, a trading and investment platform, found that 19% were already using ChatGPT-style AI tools to manage their portfolios, up from 13% in 2024.
(...)
Despite his reservations about current AI models, Lo believes that large language models will eventually be able to help investors—especially people with small accounts and limited experience with investing. In fact, he is working to build one that is specialized for financial advice. He doesn’t plan to charge for it, he says.

Lo’s goal is to develop an AI financial adviser that is a true fiduciary—namely, an entity that always puts the client’s interests first and tailors its advice to their particular needs, including emotional needs. He thinks it will take something less than four more years."

@matt It seems that your idea of "#StrongAndStable" is a man who:

1/ broke all the 10 pledges which won him the #LabourParty leadership;
2/ reshuffled his great offices of state after only 15 months;
3/ picked a fight with his party over core values: starving kids & freezing grannies;
4/ slashed development aid, starving the world's poor to buy arms;
5/ persecuted opponents of genocide as "terrorist".
Etc.

That's not strong and not stable. It's folly, and it's mendacious #sociopathy.

"His narcissism; his lack of conscience, remorse, or empathy; his pathological lying and grandiosity; his sense of entitlement, impulsivity, and aggression; his cruelty, predatory behavior, and sadism—these are the forces that drive him. If we don’t understand that, we understand almost nothing of importance about him. And beware:"

In a statement entitled "Trump’s Inferno of Hate Is Intensifying," Peter Wehner warns,

"When a man with the president’s personality feels besieged and abandoned, he becomes more desperate and more dangerous. ...

Heraclitus taught that character is destiny. In Trump’s case, his sociopathy is destiny."

@malwaretech

Sociopaths never mature - they remain (evil) children for life. It's not wise to give such people power, because they are immature, sadistic, and narcissistic. They appeal to nonsociopaths whose moral values are...loose.

"The political theory of "everyone is twelve now" really is undefeated. None of this propaganda makes any sense until you realize the target audience never intellectually or emotionally developed past middle school."

If you really want to 'case study' a person like this, you need to start with her early influences.

I would be more interested in reading about her parents. She's simply a run of the mill dumb as two bricks, highly motivated sociopath. A stereotype of this class.

"It’s common knowledge that our capitalist system rewards people with sociopathic or psychopathic traits. As Forbes writes, “the link between leadership in the corporate world and non-violent psychopathy is widely acknowledged.” Altman, to my mind, is a paradigmatic example of this phenomenon.

And as Futurism reports, he “now has the power to ‘crash the global economy’” because of his constant lies about how amazing LLMs would be, resulting in a huge bubble 17 times the size of the dot-com bubble. Like many sociopathic billionaires, Altman’s greatest legacy will likely be the profound harms he caused people on his single-minded quest to — paraphrasing Graham — “become powerful.”"

@davidtoddmccarty

Sociopaths like Trump don't really have a sense of humour, but sociopaths are sadistic. They do take pleasure in watching others get hurt.

"I don’t want to sound like a prude, but I simple don’t understand the comedic value of people hurting themselves.... What I find appalling is that anyone thinks this is entertaining. That seems sociopathic."

@randahl

The US is undergoing moral corruption, and the evangelical 'Christians' and their narcissist billionaire preachers have led the way.

"In the US, those who are unaffiliated with any religion overwhelmingly vote for The Democrats. Whereas those who believe greed is a sin, overwhelmingly vote for the guy who is building a gold-gilded ballroom worth 300 million dollars while taking away health care from the common man."

#narcissism #sociopathy #uspol

This is how sociopaths and fascists work. They are fundamentally weak and cowardly. They have to work their way up, and they will, to everyone else.

"Trump's masked thugs attacked a blind protestor in South Portland last weekend and dragged him away like an animal. The man is 4'6" and legally blind. A US citizen. "They picked the weakest person they could find,"

A pure clinical case study here, of #TrumpVirus / #WordSalad #psychopathology #sociopathy 101.

It's terrific. "Perfect really", just like Sir, our Toddler King who fancies himself Emperor with the best #Cognitive clothes.

There's a great article up by @cwarzel in The Atlantic about The Gleeful Cruelty of the White House X Account. It's a scary but thoughtful analysis of a grim societal trend, focusing specifically on how intensification is implemented via the ex-bird site, lately a cesspool of distilled toxicity from which many still regularly feed.

ESPECIALLY the part in Warzel's article about ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) made me shudder. The article is worth reading for that part alone.

(His post at BlueSky, which I've linked below, has what I think may be a gift link.)
