Narcissist, Pedophilia, Hebephilia and The Invented Child (ENGLISH responses)
Pedophiles are not only attracted to children, with a majority being heterosexual and having families of their own. The drive to have sex with children is ancient and until recently was codified in the law. The concept of childhood is a new concept, and as it was invented, prohibitions on certain interactions with children were introduced. The risk of incest and active pedophilia is much higher with narcissists and psychopaths, and inappropriate behavior with children must be aggressively defended against with these individuals.
COVID-19: Good News and is God Evil for Allowing It to Happen? (LAST MINUTE)
The text discusses the problem of evil and the concept of God’s omnipotence and omniscience.

The text also explores the idea of free will and the role of humans in fighting evil. It concludes by suggesting that it is up to individuals to take responsibility for their actions and shape the world they live in.

COVID-19 Panic Merchants: Lies, Conspiracies, and Statistics (Oh, and Science)
Dr. Anthony Fauci has been accused of providing misleading information about the COVID-19 death rate, using a higher rate in popular media than in academic papers. This has led to conspiracy theories about the government’s intentions. The panic created by the pandemic is intentional to keep people indoors, as medical professionals and politicians are unsure of the virus’s capabilities. Some experts argue that COVID-19 is not much worse than a bad flu, and that the current measures may force the virus to mutate and become more dangerous.
COVID-19: Mutating Viruses, Grandiose Doctors
There are eight strains of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but it is unlikely to mutate as quickly as the flu virus. The SARS-CoV-2 virus has spikes that allow it to attach to ACE2 proteins, which are found throughout the respiratory system, and furins that pierce into the patient’s tissue. Immunity acquired by exposure to the virus is likely to last for years, and universal quarantine and social distancing are mistakes that prevent the emergence of herd immunity. The medical profession has failed to provide a measured, reasoned, proportional, and analytical response to the health crisis, and there is a lot of narcissism going on.
Viral Brave, New World of Lonely Narcissism
The pandemic is petering out due to the typical dynamics of a self-limiting virus of the SARS family, not due to social distancing. However, a newborn baby dying in the US of COVID-19 suggests that the virus is mutating and possibly recombining with a flu virus, which could lead to a Spanish flu-like pandemic that could kill up to 1 billion people. The pandemic has exposed structural weaknesses in society, including a lack of solidarity between young and old, a narcissistic preoccupation with our bodies, and a rise in loneliness and aloneness. Gender roles are also becoming more fluid and inverted in a uni-gender world.
Pandemics: COVID19 and Daddy Issues in Borderline-Narcissist Couples
Professor Sam Vaknin discusses the twin pandemics of COVID-19 and borderline narcissistic couples. He addresses misconceptions and misunderstandings about COVID-19, such as confusing case fatality rate with mortality. He then delves into the dynamics of borderline narcissistic couples, where one partner is a narcissist and the other is a borderline. These relationships are characterized by power struggles, punishment, and emotional turmoil, with both partners fulfilling critical functions for each other, but ultimately being better off without each other.
COVID-19 Punishes Our Narcissism (Original Sin, WATCH 1st VID, Links in Description)
The coronavirus pandemic is seen by some as a solution to the ills of modern society, with the hope that it will restore solidarity, family, friendship, community, and harmony. However, this nihilistic state of mind has resulted in people violently castigating anyone who tries to restore calm and good sense to the conversation. The pandemic will be followed by a massive global but short recession that will probably last two quarters, but will be followed by a period of prosperity. The disruptive psychological effects of these health crises and the strain on interpersonal relationships will be felt long after the virus is gone, and possibly the greatest effect will be on the increasingly more atomized social fabric.
Borderline Woman: Partner Devaluation, Self-harm, Alcoholism
In summary, Professor Sam Vaknin discusses the psychology of borderline women, focusing on splitting, self-destructive behaviors, and substance abuse. Splitting is an infantile defense mechanism that leads to idealization and devaluation of others. Self-destructive behaviors can include risky sexual encounters, reckless behavior, and defiance. Substance abuse, particularly alcohol, can serve as a coping mechanism for negative emotions, restore self-confidence, lower inhibitions, and allow for the accomplishment of goals that would not be considered when sober.
Borderline Triangulates with Rescuer to Silence Pain, Abandonment Anxiety
Professor Sam Vaknin discusses Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and its similarities to narcissism. BPD is currently thought to be a female manifestation of secondary psychopathy and involves dissociation. Borderlines often have a diffuse identity and rely on their intimate partners to regulate their internal environment. They may engage in dysfunctional attachment strategies, such as running away or triangulation, and experience dissociation during sex or other emotionally intense situations.
