Today we looked at the “More on the Contents of the Phenomenon,” “Pathocracy and Its Ideology,” and “The Expansion of Pathocracy.” Specific topics included:
Why pathocracy extends downward, and what that means for economics, culture, science, etc.
Pathocratic demographics, and why a large normal population in an eternal threat to its power.
Why patriots and those with military training are one of the biggest threats to pathocrats.
The “dissimulative phase” of pathocracy as both the most psychopathic and (somewhat paradoxically), the most mild.
Would a pathocracy today be even more stable and resilient than pathocracies of the past? Or would its weaknesses also be magnified?
The ultimate goal of pathocrats: conversion or destruction of normal humanity.
Dual-use ideology: as an internal means of control and as an external propaganda mask.
The many uses of pathocratic war, including destruction of large numbers of their own population (who are potential threats to their rule).
Why pathocrats fear forgiveness.
And more!
Next session, we will finish Chapter 5 (“Imposed Pathocracies” and “General Considerations”). For readers with the print copy, this will be pages 218-238.
The next session is scheduled for Saturday, February 17, at 12:30 ET (9:30 PT).
