19:58. One of the universal issues is an inability to trust. You have trouble trusting yourself, trouble trusting an organization, trouble trusting another human being. Well, if you can internalize the graphic and have an understanding of malignant narcissism . . . I have two slides on that coming. You have an internal mechanism that you can evaluate anything in reality test.
THE BITE MODEL OF AUTHORITARIAN CONTROL:
BEHAVIOR
INFORMATION
THOUGHT
EMOTION
You need to have a a little assertiveness to ask direct questions but you can learn to trust yourself your own best friend be your own teacher your own therapist.
I really want to add these two slides.
CULT LEADER PROFILE: MALIGNANT NARCISSISM
* Grandiose self-centered behavior
* Fantasies of power, success, and attractiveness.
* Need for praise and admiration.
* Sense of entitlement.
* Lack of empathy
If you understand this slide and the next slide, you will protect yourself from 80% of every bad actor, maybe 90%, because it's so formulaic. This is all on my website, and this is from Eric Fromm, a social psychologist. He came up with this list because he was trying to understand Hitler. These are the characteristics that he came up with:
* Grandiose self-centered behavior
* Fantasies of power, success, and attractiveness.
* Need for praise and admiration (because they have a whole in their self-esteem because they basically have an attachment disorder)
* [Super] Sense of entitlement. (everyone exists to serve them.)
* Lack of empathy
And when I was working with sex trafficking survivors developing a program called, "Ending the Game," one of the critical pieces that these women were in some cases girls underage girls we're missing was that they thought the pimp of them when I was able to explain know if you don't have empathy you're incapable of love. "Oh, but he said he loved me." Yeah, it's like words, and he's very certain and he's a good talker and a very good flatterer, but pay attention because if somebody is lacking empathy . . . warning, warning, warning.
22:30. And then this is the psychopathological dimension, thinking you're above the law, . . .
CULT LEADER PROFILE
* ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR
* [PATHOLOGICAL] LYING
* INTERPERSONALLY EXPLOITIVE
* SADISM
* HARASSING & SILENCING [Trump threatening to try Liz Cheney for treason]
* VIOLENCE
* PARANOIA
* INABILITY TO TRUST FRIENDS AND SUBORDINATES (allies and enemies)
And teach your children this stuff the best thing you can do is to inoculate and on that topic, I really think describing mind control as a virus really works in the age of post-COVID. We need to have a public health emergency we need to inoculate people to be able to understand how to protect their own minds and we need intervention mental health professionals I've heard over and over again at this meeting I'm not trained on how do I identify someone who is in and authoritarian mind control relationship or cult or much less how to treat them in addition to intervention Recovery Services there's no rehab centers in the United States anymore there used to be Wellspring in Meadow Haven. Nada.
