Not every so-called or seemingly complicated problem needs a similar complicated solution…

...just finished reading „Political Ponerology“ by Dr. Andrzej M. Łobaczewski. I can herewith herald the cure for 80% of our problems. It’s an awakening experience. A renaissance of enlightenment, concerning important, yet strangely arcane knowledge in the field of psychology that’s been suppressed for over a century by different foes and adversaries.

Un(der)diagnosed psychopathy is the root of all evil, manifesting itself by usurping every initially well-meant idea, social system, political movement and public institution, created for the common good. Beneficial human evolution can't take place in its entirety, when progress is continuously being blocked and even set back by individuals and groups of social deviants.

Keeping themselves unrecognizable as the source of a wide range of personal and societal grievances or catastrophes, they nonetheless instinctively tend to recognize each other to eventually form groups of influential individuals, working in high power/big money positions to further their generally antisocial, egotistic and socially devastating agendas.

When people are being kept oblivious to this fact, an afflicted country can slip into a dystopian, authoritarian/totalitarian state (something Łobaczewski named “pathocracy”), that is functioning only to serve an elitist circle of crimogenic misfits in their individual money-and-power-grabbing schemes. Final results: millions of gaslit, "re-educated" (misinformed), (self-)silenced people, ultimately being "cleansed" from national public discourse or outright reality altogether, with potential world wars being fought internationally, like we’re currently witnessing.

Psychopathy tests can be very easily conducted by medical staff, letting candidates watch a number of different emotionally charged pictures on a monitor, while being attached to an EEG.

While generally of utter importance for all kinds of adult private and public concerns in society, psychopathy tests should also be made mandatory for every pupil right from the start of elementary school; as well as teaching rhetoric & sophisms to counter and eradicate blind, meritless arguing and other needless, misleading psychological warfare measures of seemingly articulate impostors, thereby neutrally smoothing out needless errors, being observed in everyday discussions of any topic.

In my humble opinion, at least 80% of our problems can be traced back to this maybe even verboten blind spot of scientific intellectualism. Concerning our current geopolitical situation – being faced with global atomic annihilation – it's now urgent time to correct this abnormal situation once and for all, if our aim is living in a less confrontational, divided, conflict-ridden world for your & mine grandchildren’s children and a decisively more promising future for all of mankind.

Thrice Supressed for Over a Century: “Political Ponerology” Offers Scientifically Revealed Origins of Evil in Society, Leading to Pathocracy (Rule of Psychopaths)

The completely missing, muted or at least anemic discussion in academic circles referring to the most important topic of our times (micro: psychopathy; macro: Political Ponerology) had been following me for a long time now as a fascinating blind spot of psychology.

"He who pays the piper, calls the tune." – Probably THE main reason for the forced lack of any funding in this most important psychological field; let alone making this information public for all inquiring minds, be them private/academic researchers, medical professionals, curious private individuals, actual & former victims or the executive & judicial branch of any government alike.

Politicians, judges, attorneys general and the police force must be educated about the existence of somewhat biblically evil entities, being very well-camouflaged by looking exactly like everyday people; except for lacking deeper feelings, consciousness, remorse, empathy and a general mindset of following basic social norms.

"In any society in this world, psychopathic individuals and some of the other deviant types create a ponerogenically active network of common collusions, partially estranged from the community of normal people... Their sense of honor bids them to cheat and revile that ‘other’ human world and its values at every opportunity. (Łobaczewski, 138)
(…)
Ideological Mask: The group's stated goals are often at variance with its true nature. Colorful literature and humanitarian values often mask its true motivations. Take, for example, the disparity between the CIA's stated goals, such as "Creating special, multidisciplinary centers to address such high-priority issues such as nonproliferation, counterterrorism, counterintelligence, international organized crime and narcotics trafficking, environment, and arms control intelligence", and its widespread use of terrorism, torture, overthrowing democratically elected governments, installing foreign dictators, drug trafficking, arms smuggling, etc. (…) When such individuals are treated as normal, more perceptive individuals will leave the group. When the group has become sufficiently pathological, members will either perceive its new direction in moral terms (e.g., “We must kill them all on the principle of justice and democracy”), or as a form of psychological terror. As more healthy people leave the group, taking on more counter-revolutionary positions, individuals with psychological anomalies join, removing their masks of sanity ever more often. Without adequate knowledge, normal individuals who have been ejected from such a group will suffer immensely, cut off from their original ideological reason for joining. Infected with unhealthy emotions and pathological material, they can assume positions opposite to those which they formerly followed. (…) In short, the patients have overtaken the asylum.“

“Pathocracy is one of those hidden concepts that, once uncovered, suddenly helps to make sense of the world. It explains much of the chaos and suffering which has filled human history, and which still sadly afflicts the world today. For this, we owe Łobaczewski and his book Political Ponerology a massive debt.”

“You cannot live a sane life in a mentally ill society. Function collides with dysfunction. Therapy that ignores this cannot have a "successful conclusion".“

„The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always certain of themselves and wiser people are full of doubts.“
