Psychological Traits of "COVID-19 prevention measure" adherents.

Negative self-image, external locus of control, low scale self-efficacy, minority mindset, as when a minor is adjudged incompetent to exercise control over one's affairs, and must be assigned a Guardian. Deficient executive attention and control, whereby attention is directed to high priority situational demands, with irrelevant information identified and inhibited. Deficiencies of inductive reasoning, whereby one progresses from specific pieces of data toward a general conclusion. Utilization of suboptimal thinking tools, such as the Availability Heuristic, whereby the easy availability of media information leads to mental encoding-based availability biases. This in turn leads to biased memory retrieval. The Anchoring Heuristic, whereby one's initial opinion makes us overly biased toward it. Emotional, intuitive, unconscious decision making rather than conscious, deliberate consideration of evidence. It is quite obvious that the possessor of these dark psychological traits must be involuntarily hospitalized and forcibly medicated.

I just simultaniously clinicly and mathematically deduced that, assuming someone would be able to genuinly prove the possessor did help mankind a few steps forward by a completely unbiased and to all humans helpful trait to save lots of people's lifes because he cares more about people than earning money by selling his own (scientific?) soul, you and I MUST be involuntarily hospitalized and medicated I guess.

Straight out of the CCCP handbook. Psychiatry was primary tool for dealing with dissidents. "Science" always supported ideology, rejection meant mental illness diagnosis, forced detention, forced medication, brainwashing...keep calling the charlatans out mate. They're the ones with the mental illness.

Usual stigma not working in the face of so many sudden deaths? Release the Krakens. The Dexter stigma.

Ooh, goodie! "Dark Triad".... Another name to add to my growing list of unacceptable personality traits. This has a wonderfully Gothic ring to it. I'll take it.

"Primary psychopathic individuals believe in conspiracy theories because they assume others to be as manipulative as they are."

Well, they're not wrong. At least, about the *other* psychopaths running the government.

I was actually in a padded cell in Santa Rosa, CA for short time. I arrived at the looney bin from the hospital earlier that day & walked around the halls fascinated by the inmates activities. I play some volleyball.. It was October 31. I had eaten Datura seeds from an apple orchard in Graton near Forestville. That night, going in & out of consciousness I found myself in a padded cell. The cell decor was orange & black. I went to the little window & called for an audience. I demanded to be let out "or all hell would break loose." I found the door unlocked shortly thereafter & walked out down a long hall & out the back door to the place. I wandered around the grounds & the wooded area stumbling around in the dark.

Eventually I found my way to a deserted intersection with a flashing traffic light. A police care came by & I got in & was taken to a jail. In the elevator on the way up to my accommodations the two police officers turned intense bright red.

That morning at dawn I walked home to my room at the now long run down Pioneer Hotel & resort south of Cotati. I was the resident manager.

Doing datura, there's no telling what part of your experience was real, short of an overnighter in the klink. Toxic plants are not good for you mate. Life's hard enough without it. 🙏

I had no inclination to ever do anything like that again & also got a very strong aversion to tobacco, a relative to Datura.

Ramakrishna had a serious datura habit.

Didn't know that. Explains his teaching.

Basically, the head shrinkers say if you resist their coercion💉⚔️🖕, you are mentally ill, will be jailed, & with some luck, maybe even executed. Who isn't aware these methods are straight out of the old CCCP pschiatric psyop handbook? No one? Good!

More evidence that the only solution to this creepy totalitarianism is peaceful separation. Get away from these people even if they are your friends. They have been compromised by their jobs and their allegiances. We need to consolidate in high-trust communities with other critical thinkers. We need leadership to help us organize for new nations.

Dark Triad? Narcissistic? Is this Harry Potter fan fiction? 🧙‍♂️🪄

Good for you sir. I've also learnt from my mistakes- albeit slowly in my case.
