The United States is in the throes of full-fledged mass psychosis. The stupid and demented have taken over. It is a terrifying thought. A prestigious outlet has just rejected an article I submitted - at their prompting - as “unfit for publication”. The reason? I refused to replace the words “students” and “pupils” with “scholars” (!) and I vehemently rejected the counterfactual demand to substitute “pregnant people” for “pregnant women”. Breaking news: Students are not scholars. A few of them become scholars by first being students. And only women can be pregnant. I also mentioned that the Bible contains more raunchy sex scenes than most modern literature. That did not curry favor with my reviewers. They asked me repeatedly to remove this paragraph - an act known as censorship. As far as free speech goes, the USA is on par now with China and Russia (a country I lived in for 6 years). Jordan Peterson, the master of banalities and king of cliches, wearing his “I am the greatest genius ever and the most humungous revolution in human thinking has just occurred to me” expression, says in an interview: “If you don’t speak what is truly on your mind, you are not giving voice to your unborn self”. WTF is this nonsense supposed to mean? 5.3 million shares. Sadhguru in a lecture in one of the most prestigious medical schools in the States: “Western medicine has still a long way to go. We in the East know, for example, that the milk from a woman’s left breast is not the same as milk from her right breast. That is why you should feed boys and girls from different breasts”. 3.7 million likes. Slavoj Zizek, a truly towering intellect, gets an average of 1600 shares on 10 randomly sampled profound Facebook posts of his sayings. Every self-styled expert on KZbin gets way more. Such is the decaying civilization we live in.

You're not wrong, and in my opinion, our polarization is only making things worse. Pseudoscience should be easily debunked such as the breast milk thing via mass spectroscopy. Meanwhile, we have people where I live who think the earth is flat and others who scream from their cars at me for having long hair. To make things worse, my state is one of the most important in deciding elections. To butcher a quote often attributed to Jiddu Krishnamurti: "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society".

I was so scared of narcissists due to my low self worth coming from faulty childhood programming that I would defend myself , over stress and get baited into ugly arguments . After my healing I now look at these people totally different and know that they are stupid and we codependent should not be afraid of their manipulative games and should never be tolerant of their misbehaviour . Though I understood and healed myself when I’m 50 but all of my childhood now makes sense . I loved your wider definition of rape and seriously I’ve been raped of my intellectually by my spouse for 22 years . Hope legal system takes these things into account for divorce etc .

There’s so many different layers with me also.

@@kikifisselstein7322 If KZbin qualifies as social media, then we’re all here, as it were. I’ll admit I tried “alternative media” promoting themselves as free speech advocates, some specific individuals had a discourse I found worthwhile. The medium overtakes the message as always. No matter what, unfortunately. I’ve been off Facebook since 2013, only had an account for 2 years; same for Twitter. Kept an alternative account for a year, individuals in a group become a mob very quickly. KZbin has its advantages if you’ve given up television 📺 as many of us have. And does offer university lectures, films and music, classics and others, which to me are very important. Thankfully the films I enjoy are not 21st century blockbusters, and more akin to what project Gutenberg is keeping track of in the print media. Talking of myself as part of the “smart people “ is distasteful/ disturbing, maybe I’m just not able to cope nervously with the noise? Not sure that makes me smarter. Unable to relate to the majority, most definitely.

This is one area I see many intelligent people displaying true ignorance when they cant imagine a government could behave this way. Not in this Great Nation they served to protect. Those of us that speak of it are conspiracy theorists so its now the intelligent that stay quiet and keep to themselves.

The phrase “all created equal” was the Founders way of saying “we’re all human beings”-equally deserving of certain Human Rights. And then they enumerated them to make it clear what they are. They factored in the fact that the majority of human beings are credulous and easily swayed toward unreason and not equal in qualities, traits and intellect, but that all are equal in deserving certain inalienable rights. Just wanted to share that tidbit of knowledge. Evidently, Professor Sam Vaknin’s rant was thought-provoking. 🥂🖖🏼

If a man believes that there is no right or wrong (in the absolute sense) and everything is subjective, how can he judge anything? He will then judge according to himself, no matter what degree of wisdom he has. Because what is wisdom in a world without clear moral principles, if not just an empty word?

OMG, my father was a self-educated man, a Master in Tile and Stone , when he was not at sea,with the NOAA. I heard about the man in the sky, from him, before George Carlin. And I could say they shared many other views.... He passed away 14 years ago, however throughout my life ,he had an uncanny way of predicting things that would always come true, in terms of society, philosophy, logic, the future of mankind., And the effects of technology. Years before people ever had debit cards, he described debit cards, cash would not always be necessary in the future, energy, and the environment were going to have a problem coexisting.. well to get to my point, I was instructed to be aware of the Stupid People in the future. He told me that when I was the same age, that he was at that time, the Stupid People ,society would inevitably create, would be in charge ,and I was in trouble, everyone was in trouble. My thoughts for the past few years ,? You were totally correct, Dad, stupid has arrived. I would be highly interested in knowing the ranges of IQ today, throughout the population as a whole, I suspect there's a Gap ,a cut off point, a modern type of Neanderthal divide, without the altering of evolutionary characteristics in the typical manner, size and shape of cranium,etc, whichever are relevant, I'm not an anthropologist. I believe this divide has happened in the other mechanisms of the psyche and brain . I can't think of exactly how many times I have cited Dunning Kruger as a possible explanation. Thank you Sam, for confirming ,... They're here, just like the poltergeist movie,.. they're here , and it is frightening, because they are stupid as hell, and ignorant of that fact

Hello (Sir) Dr. Professor Vaknin, I've been binging on your content for a while now; I believe I took special interest because I had this deep disconcerting feeling that my ex-partner had some truly dysfunctional relational skills and even though I am a fresh psychology bachelor graduate I don't dare to immediately and rigidly baptize her as "borderline". I tend to side with parsimonious extrapolations: I let an asshole treat me wrong. Through attending the content of your videos to enhance my cognitive, emotional and relational vocabulary I have come to accept my responsibility in the equation. I really appreciate the work that you do, especially videos that refer to cross-disciplinary concepts and ideas. P.S: I've also been wandering, since I have observed you have mentioned Jordan Peterson in a couple of videos, to what degree or extent you agree with him, and more importantly what are some of your contentions to his work/conduct. In advance, I thank you sincerely for your time. Greetings from Greece.

Following the realistic of the worldwide stupidity, is mind blowing the relatively few subscribers that this channel has, having in mind the extraordinary quality of knowledge and insight that Mr. Vaknin provides. Is true, we all need a bit of distraction, but is unbelievable in comparison that today some channels or youtubers, which are clowns in all the sense of the word, have millions of subscribers, showing clearly that people in majority despise the acquisition of knowledge, discernment, wisdom, values, principles, in favor of everything that makes you don't use your brain and grow your mind, making the world filled with people who are grown adults, but full of children's behaviors. And the really scary part is that they are, at the same time, 'raising' children. Thank you, Mr. Vaknin, for your dedication. Hear and see some reason in a really messed society is a true breath of fresh air.

Have you many children, Prof. Vaknin? Interesting isn't it, how intelligence can be considered genetic, but aren't personality disorders primarily rooted in early experiences and not "passed down" unless the environment and experience is present to do so? That is to say, personality disorders are treatable and the chain can be broken, but low intelligence just keeps expanding throughout the population.

Finally! How refreshing to come across this video & such a wonderful rant! I wish there were more people like yourself. I am chuckling internally in absolute pleasure & relish in how stimulating this made me feel. I could see myself getting lost in stimulating conversations with you that would be both inspiring as well as insightful & a good combination of comfortable & uncomfortable empowerment. I read that over the last 50 yrs. there has been on average a noticeable decline of intelligence globally this being 12% decline. I have come to the conclusion that our education system & various other enabling variables have created a or rather cultivated a massive environment conditioning & exploiting as well as mass producing this acclimation to normalizing nothing more than pet goldfish who I Aiken to comicly mind you so I don’t lose my own sound mind having to cope daily with its expressions in our real world interactions. Pet goldfish who are raised in captive conditions who have been acclimated to this & know nothing more hence deaf dumb blind & mute in a real disabling manner ultimately also destroying free & critical thinking to constructs that are fads & have no logic or real rationale in validity or credibility turning the ability to reason thoughts of any kind out into this imagined logic. Goldfish content with swimming in circles chasing their own tail fins & fart bubbles the only time they break this basic path is to go up or down side to side is to chase fish food flakes or pellets whenever their handlers administer this feeding time to them hence further enabling basic survival skills with codependency. I seriously despise every school year knowing as a parent who has a young son with behavioral challenges & trauma concerns from experiences I had no control over & myself experienced 2 fold several years ago however have addressed & continue to proactively do so for & with my son as well & doing my best with his schools SPED constraints through IEPs & BIPs which I have so much I could point out to how stupid all of these constructs I find gets pushed on us that I disagree with & find perpetuating toxic thought & corrupt logic. It’s garbage in garbage out. I often find myself having to work out how to work around the massive stupidity & total lack of rational logical standards & terminology to create even a finite amount of productive support & still am left disgusted as to how totally disappointing it results in not nearly being close to what I would or anyone with even a brain cell would consider helpful or useful in supporting & cultivating actual knowledge or intellect in educational environment for really any child. My son of course doesn’t really know any better & hence is okay with this, but I am not & find it seriously frustrating & annoying & alarming for him & his as well as future generations & their quality of life. The so called latest manufactured goldfish fad being these cancel cultures BLM & Woke fascist perps who blatantly use extremely toxic abusive tactics that have still continued to prevail when I honestly believe these very same perps of such cancel cultures at one time in history would very likely have been tarred & feathered or hung or beheaded & casted or expelled out of our communities from perpetuating such cancerous diseased thoughts. They would have been treated like they plague literally. I believe morals & values have been deconstructed & corrupted & minced & diced into reasoned logics that are packaged in some attractive wrapping paper & instead of discernment we have instant reactive impulsive thought gratification where people strive for a sense of comforts in life for just simply being hence entitled & expectation to the point of just accepting & even turning over self sufficient skills to their governments providing & controlling so they do not have to regardless of its true cost to them. Intellectually, Intuitively, Spiritually… Cognitively imbalanced distortions & stagnant impulsive feeble minded foolishness which has only managed to successfully cultivate a culture of covert corrupted distortions & disillusioned thinking. It’s stunted immature intellectualized hysterical hallucinations. Perfect example using Biden’s explanation of redefining what constitutes a state of recession economically. Just b/c you might be able to reason out some nonsense to redefine some irrational rationale to maybe craft some narrative that may sound logical if your a true crafty skilled intellectual master manipulator which Biden is not but there do exist people who are, but still what ultimately can not actually be ever truly produced is true logic where it doesn’t exist & never did it will not be aligned in thought, definition, nor reality… it will maybe at best on the surface a mere presentation of being aligned & give the overall initial impression of logic, but just as people seem to communicate now failing to use clarification skills & dynamics reciprocally all together skipping this most of the time or using actual thinking skills to discern what is or isn’t they just gobble up all the trash they are exposed to with no filtering just stuffing their minds, bodies, spirits with just consuming without discernment or clarifying what they are even consuming.

I had to exert a lot of self control recently, when my ADHD diagnosed roommate proudly showed me a KZbin video saying that ''ADHD is a super power'' and ''IQ makes very little difference'' on a channel by professionals with qualifications on ADHD. How are those quacks even allowed to post their scam and encourage those delusions is unbelievable! Oh, so ADHD is a super power now? The person I live with barely finished high school, cannot learn anything he tried to learn, has problems maintaining hygiene and is addicted to video games, but yeah, ADHD is totally a super power and IQ doesn't matter, sure! Thank you doctor Vaknin for being a truth teller once again despite the hate you get!

I'm scared because of my immigration papers used by the pearl harbor Cyber security officer-a navy chief retired who I lived with in 5 years for his security clearance. He told me a lot of illegal things done by people he knew in Hawaii. He did a lot of triangulation with other roommates and had me being in our IVF suffered. I did send to the DoD everything and their reply it's closed for no evidence. I'm not in psych medication anymore for over a month and I am so much better. My Psychologist told me I'm delusional the whole time needed meds and I worked like a slave for this navy guy. We had the TRO- he had the lawyer and I don't. I'm worried because I sent president Marcos and research in Singapore to help me out. He told me he hoped to have me locked up in a state mental hospital. He mocked me for being from the Philippines and had me triangulate Philippines neighboring countries Asian women and Latina women. It's terrifying. No one can help here I don't think any here can really help.

Political correctness is alot to blame, making us all like sheep unable to think for ourselves, and if you have a different opinion then God help us. When i worked in a chemist it was nigh impossible to advice people it really was, they had one way of thinking and once it got into their stupid heads it couldn,t be changed, so i would often say do what you think is right see you next week for your monkey pills.
