Oh Carl, out here strawmanning my post. My post is about Joshes argument. There's no way you can know he's a narcissist. You mastered in psychology right? I can't believe you're condoning this haphazard accusation.

Just the murder rate you pointed out, they're effectively at war with the gangs, it'd be like someone in Ukraine right now with Russian military tattoos, they'd be arrested I guarantee you. Think of it like a civil war, a Confederate in the civil war, or someone with Al qaeda paraphernalia after 9/11.

I think it would be useful for people that are less familiar with the subjects discussed.

No

@integral what AI are you using in this?

This makes it MUCH muddier to me, it appears to me to be obviously incoherent. So, you think Leo subconsciously wants approval yet he can consciously override his subconscious narcissism that he's unaware of, to allow threads like this on his forum? Yet he does not override his "overt narcissism", that he's regularly publicly derided about, on his forum, where he allows the derision. He has the control to stand here and take this, he's been posting in other threads during this, yet he lacks the ability to learn impulse control to mask the "overt narcissism"? He can control his narcissistic impulse right now to not close threads like these, this is a month old, but he cannot learn impulse control for what he's regularly publicly derided about, but he allows the public derision that he can end with the swipe of a mouse, an impulse that you're now saying he's unaware of?

Is the girl I posted pretty?

Interesting. Do you think you could ever find 17 year old girls with down syndrome to be sexually attractive?

Even if your friends told you you're a narcissist? I appreciate you entertaining my firehose of questioning I know it can be annoying but figured I'd try given that I know you're honest and a critical thinker. Here's my critique of your critique You think Leo is a perceptive narcissist that let's his forum attack him publicly, a narcissist being someone that wants validation, while Leo having the public persona of a master of life(someone that would obviously overcome narcissism). I assume you would believe a person of average intelligence would recognize his "overt narcissism" that is regularly called out here: therefore the logical conclusion would be that Leo is seeking validation from people that he believes is below average intelligence, Leo, all the while knowing he's an overt narcissist and therefore alienating intelligent people and people of average intelligence from admiring him. A perceptive narcissist means someone that can perceive what others believe, perhaps you believe he has one blindspot; that people of average intelligence recognize the overt narcisissm, but then your grievance here would be somewhat counterproductive: effectively giving him advice to be a better narcissist and hide it from intelligent people. You think he knows he's a narcissist.

Do narcissists typically question their narcissism?

Hmm...🤔 what's your theory for this anomaly?

Would a narcissist typically allow a thread like this on their forum? Also remember, he uses/used drugs.

Lol, I'm in my 30s, male, and would say 25 is when women start being sexually attractive. That fully formed frontal lobe has an effect on aesthetics I would speculate that the peak male would have a peak age in the 50s. Average male, 25, whoever cares about average males though...

I don't think it's overt to most people including himself, but my answer would be an insecure one. Have you ever had a superior that acted this way, it's common, because of insecurity or 'The Peter Principle ', even a professor or teacher.

Imagine Leo at the grocery, a narcissist? At a festival, family gathering?...... I think he's shy. I also think he's unconditionally put a TON of love out into the world. Love ya Leo, you're the real deal, fuck these puritans.

I'm sorry if you already explained this, but by all contexts you obviously don't mean outside of this time he spends on this forum, even in his videos he's not like that. We don't know how he is in daily life, you don't believe he could be different outside the forum because of the consistency over ten years? Most people behave differently 1.) Online and 2.) In a role of authority, you don't believe this could be the case because it's been 10 years?

But, this is his forum: if he said these things in a private friend group, I would agree. Most people put on a performative mask in dynamics like this, think of a manager at a job. Could it not just be insecurity of someone in a position of power?

I dont know what will happen in the region. If Israel elects a sensible leader, and Democrats win 2028 in the u.s. and work with Iran, there should be great peace in the region. If Israel keeps electing nazis; Iran will keep funding terrorism. If Israel keeps attacking Lebanon, Iran will keep bombing Israel directly or through proxy. I see no likely scenario where the current Iranian regime is toppled, the only way is through peace and then internal Iranian evolution or, peace for a while and then the West meddles and supports a revolution.

The U.S. now uses more renewable energy than natural gas, you're the one losing. Even China is on the wagon.

Thomas and Alito are almost 80, and have had medical issues: good chance they eventually die. By the end of the next 2 presidential cycles, they'll be almost 90. It wouldn't surprise me if Roberts would retire in that time either, if we keep the harassment up on him; he's 71, 2036 he'll be 81.

Supreme Court Justices Alito and Thomas not planning to retire this year, sources say https://www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme-court-justices-alito-thomas-not-retiring-sources-say/ https://kalshi.com/markets/controls/senate-winner/controls-2026 Democrats would have the majority in SCOTUS soon(2029?) if we win the Senate this year and Justices don't die.

Think of it through a utopian lens, the original quote is from a fictional novel.

Yes, but I support disproportionate taxes on the wealthy. I support them being possible because some could, and have been relatively good. Many do better than what good would come from a contemporary democratic nation, Bill Gates for example, Yvonne Chouniard, George Soros, Jeff Bezos, the list goes on.

I would be interested in any insights you have toward 'my big ego' if you ever want to interject anywhere, I do actually like your psych comments. Not that I care that I have a big ego or am aggressive....
