THE NON-NORMIE NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON GROUPS AND COUNTRIES Non-normieness is the cancer in the body politic. |
And, like cancer, it eats away at the healthy social tissue until it destroys the entire body.
The old saying goes, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease." Today the most squeaky human wheel in existence is the non-normie in society, and the grease that he or she too often gets is abdication, by normies, to the non-norminess of non-normies. Why do normies often abdicate to non-norminess? Here are five reasons, which form an acronym of what non-normies do to normies:
"I CUT U"
- Intimidation. Normies are often intimidated by non-normies because they attack the normies with wild accusations that, frankly, the normies currently don't know how to defend against, except to deny them.
- Credentials. Non-normies use educational, social and governmental credentials, as a substitute for logic, to overcome (dysfunctionally) any normie opposition.
- Understanding. Normies don't understand non-normies. As such, they try to use rational arguments against them but non-normies don't hear them. Then non-normies lie and use dysfunctional rationalizations to counter normie functional thought. This perplexes normies.
- Time. Normies are busy with normal activities like work, feeding their families, going to Little League practice, reading bed-time stories to their children and attending church or synagogue. Being non-driven, they don't have the emotional fires raging inside to drive them to wage war against non-normies. (But they have their limits.)
- Unawareness. A large segment of the normie population is unaware of the actual presence and effect of non-normies and the deleterious injuries they are inflicting on their family, their community, their society and their country.
Driven non-normies will do more for a lie than normies often do for the truth. Hopefully this web/blog site will change that.
Why is there so much apparent non-normieness in society? Remember when I explained how all non-normies are emotionally driven people? As such, they have a higher visibility because they are driven by their internal hot spots to impose their agendas throughout the land. Therefore, they are driven to work in multiple causes and are drawn like a magnet to the media, countless times, to promote those agendas. This gives the appearance to the public that the numbers of non-normies far outweigh those of the normies.
For example, there are two major women's groups in America. The membership of the normie women's group is considerably larger than the non-normie women's group, yet the media promotes the non-normie women's group almost exclusively, as if they were the majority. This gives the perception to the viewing audience that the non-normie women's group is the dominant force in the country.
Now I'll explain how that driven nature manifests itself in the non-normie, thus affecting the every day world that we live in.
When an emotionally driven non-normie seeks out, and finds, a cause in which to displace the pain that rages from his or her hot spots, the non-normie then becomes one with that cause.
In other words, the cause is never separate from the person. The two merge into one being. Therefore, even the slightest questioning of that cause, by the normie, will produce an emotional reaction, within the non-normie, that will personalize that questioning as a personal attack against the very core being of the non-normie.
In fact, if you are unable to diagnose the non-normie suspect on the "Test another" section of this web/blog site (to determine his or her degree of non-normieness) due to the fact that you don't know him or her well enough, the surest way to determine if non-normieness is present is to discuss any cause that is close to the non-normie suspect's heart. Challenge that cause, probe that cause and dissect that cause in conversation. Don't attack it (or, especially, the person). Just question it and watch the reaction of the person. If he or she begins getting very irritated or defensive, and then strident in replying with distorted logic, you are most assuredly dealing with a non-normie.
Only very professional media-hound non-normies have learned to maintain their cool during argumentation. But even these non-normies, given enough time, will always and eventually leak their internal raging hot spots.
Rule number one of all non-normies:
Never let the public discover who you really are because, if they do, they won't like you.
Non-normies say to themselves, "Never Blow Your Cover."
These are, what I call, non-normie causeaholics, and they can only hold back their anger so long. Should they be out-numbered, they'll stomp away mad. If they perceive that there is a hope for dominating you, they'll attack. Either way, they leaked their true selves. Once you know who they are, you can deal with them accordingly. Non-normies try to compartmentalize their issues, but they are unable to do so because the raging hot spots produce so much internal emotional pain. Again, any attack against their cause is a personal attack against them. They are one with it.
The initial discovery of non-normie leaking.
The first clue to this phenomenon came in the nineteen-sixties when a major insurance company completed a study of bad drivers. They found a direct link between them and people with bad credit. Naturally they took a lot of heat when a person with a perfect driving record applied for car insurance and was rejected because of their credit report. But, nevertheless, this company inadvertently demonstrated for the first time that non-normies could not compartmentalize. Their dysfunction leaked into almost every other area of their lives.
Needless to say, the loudest complainers against that insurance company were the non-normies, themselves, although no one knew about non-normies back then. Non-normies seldom go on the defense, or take a defensive position, because they cannot defend the indefensible. Therefore, they cannot help but attack back. They may make one or two defensive statements, but almost immediately they will go on the attack as their means of defense. They remind me of little kids (which they are like) when they'd say in response to a verbal slam, "So's your old man."
Non-normies always approach causes in extremes. Their cause might even, basically, be a good one. But the extreme that they'll take it to can turn the whole cause and solution into dysfunction.
Take education, for example. Non-normies control the entire educational process today. No, not every teacher. But almost all of the administration is non-normie and the teacher's union is totally dominated by non-normie leadership. And the greatest visible threat to their empire is the normie functional answer of "home-schooling." Non-professionals (parents) have shown that they can do a better job than those who have the credentials.
Two major subcategories of non-normie causeaholics
The reason why you'll want to understand the two major subcategories of non-normies is because it will help you to see the dynamics at play in every organization that is dominated by non-normies. Once you get an intellectual handle on how this works, you'll recognize it and, then, be able to label it. Why label it? Because labels are the tools that non-normies have been using against you, dysfunctionally and with great success, for many years. I'll get into how to best use this technique against non-normies in the section titled, "Combating non-normieness."
Now, to explain. Non-normies come in two major subcategories.
One is the charismatic egocentric non-normie.
The other subcategory is the other-centered non-normie,
who requires, follows and almost worships the self-centered charismatic non-normies. Remember when I said, "Learn from the alcoholic" (and from the Al-Anon brother or sister)? Non-nomieness, in society, operates exactly the same way as this huge laboratory of non-normies (Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon) does, and it follows their characteristics precisely.
These two extremes are not present in normies. Yes, normies can be very charismatic, but not egocentric. Their primary interest is for the benefit of the people who follow them. The normie followers (contrary to the non-normie sheep), don't worship the leader and always stand ready to question the leader's behavior, if needed.
1. The charismatic egocentric non-normie causeaholic.
Charismatic egocentric causeaholic non-normies are only in the system, whether political, social or religious, to serve themselves, despite what they claim. They are totally self-centered, self-absorbed, and they truly believe that they, themselves, are the sun in their own universe.
We see a lot of this behavior in the non-normieness of certain polar-left causeaholic race-pimps. These despicable charismatic non-normies serve only themselves. They play on, and enrage, those down-trodden members of racial groups who haven't made it big in the economy. By fueling the racial flames, they don't help their constituents. They only give them phony excuses for why they are poor. It's the blame-game, of course. It's always someone else's fault. In the meantime, these race-pimps feather their own nests at the expense of the people that they claim to help.
Currently most race-pimps are black, but not all. Every race has (or has had) them. For the black non-normie race pimps, however, the greatest thing that ever happened to them was when Martin Luther King was shot. Why? Because Rev. King was not a race-pimp and, if he had lived, he would have not allowed such non-normie race pimps to invade his cause for black justice. With him dead, however, it allowed them all to claim him as a hero while, at the same time, using his memory to fleece their own people.
We see this same type of person often in politics, social causes, government and in many cult religions, too. And we've also seen it on the other side of the political spectrum (polar-right).
The famous 1857 Dred Scott Supreme Court decision, saying that even former black slaves were not U.S. citizens, nor could be, shows that non-normie polar-right dysfunction was alive and well in the country's early history since seven of nine justices voted for it. Even nineteenth century Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black was a former Ku Klux Klan member (another extreme polar-right).
Also in the nineteenth century, the Ku Klux Klan played a race-pimp card too. The charismatic egocentric non-normie Klan leaders put together a membership of the poor and down-trodden whites. These race-pimps convinced their members that the reason they were poor was because blacks were taking their jobs. In fact, one modern-day polar-right Klan race-pimp later switched sides, when it was in his self-interest. Today he's both a non-normie polar-left political race-pimp and a United States Senator.
Please note that this case is not that unusual. Polar non-normies, when they switch sides, never stop at the middle. They go from one extreme to the other. That's because their driven nature will not allow them any form of moderation* or rational thinking.
*Keep in mind, the word moderation is not synonymous with those in politics who describe themselves as a moderate. This term more nearly indicates vacillation than moderation.
2. Other-centered non-normie causeaholics.
Other-centered non-normies, who require the charisma of others to advance their issues, are socially codependent. That means that their sense of self, and their method of pursuing their driven causes, is "other-centered." They get their human value out of a need to serve and, usually, worship the charismatic egocentric non-normies as well as the dysfunctional causes that they promote.
But, as we've seen, the other-centered non-normies do demand certain things from those charismatic egocentric non-normie leaders, who toss them dysfunctional solutions for those demands, almost like throwing a bone to a dog.
These demands, by other-centered non-normies, usually revolve around certain causes that are key to placating their insecurities. They mostly include issues of fairness, health and safety. And that is why we, as a (non-normie) society, have become obsessive about making everything fair in life (which you'll see predominantly taught in schools), making everything safe (everyone has to wear a seat belt, by law) and providing health care for everyone--especially children. As such, this is now one of the hot issues being promoted by charismatic egocentric non-normie leaders to placate their other-centered non-normie followers. As I said...
...the symbiotic relationship between the two types of causeaholic non-normies is identical to the relationship between the non-normie alcoholic and the non-normie co-alcoholic (the Al-Anon).
The charismatic egocentric non-normie is like the alcoholic non-normie. They usually are charismatic, but always egocentric.
The other centered non-normie in society is like the co-alcoholic non-normie. She (or he) serves the non-normie alcoholic in his or her emotional disease, makes excuses for the non-normie activities of the alcoholic, covers up for the non-normie behavior of the alcoholic and is usually taken advantage of and abused by the non-normie alcoholic. This treatment, however, she (or he) accepts gladly because the co-alcoholic feels worthless in the presence of this charismatic non-normie alcoholic.
In Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon, approximately seventy-five to eighty percent of the alcoholics are men. In Al-Anon, the complete reverse is true. Roughly seventy-five to eighty percent of the co-alcoholics are women.
Why is that? It's mostly because of nature. Non-normie macho-type-men tend to assume domination in any family, culture or society. These non-normie macho-type-men grab for power, dysfunctionally.
Women, conversely by their nature, seek to be nurturing, supportive and subservient to their male counterpart (despite the advent of women's lib). Non-normie other-centered women do it to an extreme, however. That is why there are so many abused women in our society. Non-normie women take abuse from the non-normie male because they think that they deserve it. That's why you'll see a female member of the race-pimp's staff suddenly show up pregnant, by the married race-pimp leader. Naturally, due to the dysfunctional nature of both the pregnant non-normie woman and the non-normie wife of the race pimp, it's quickly covered over by both and, then, little reported by non-normie members of the media.
It is said (somewhat truthfully) that alcoholics are substance addicts, while co-alcoholics are relationship addicts. With non-normie causeaholics, the charismatic egocentric non-normie is addicted to leading the cause and the other centered non-normie is addicted to serving the (leader's) cause.
Third category of non-normie causeaholic.
Even though I said that there were two subcategories of the non-normie causeaholic, there is actually a third one. However, it is only a combination of the two driven natures manifesting themselves in one person. These people are the most dangerous of the three. They flip-flop, back and forth, between being the charismatic self-centered non-normie and the other-centered non-normie, almost without notice. This is truly the most confused, and the sickest, type of non-normie because he or she is searching frantically for an identity and never finding it.
Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon members know this type well. They even have a tongue-in-cheek name for them, "Double Winners." That name was bestowed for obvious reasons. It's because they are actually "double-losers." The role they take on, at any given place in time, will mostly depend on the particular relationship that they are in. With a strong charismatic non-normie, they'll be other-centered followers. With a weaker non-normie, they will often take over the charismatic leader role. Then they'll flip-flop in certain other situations. Faced with a major crisis, they'll usually shrink into being other-centered. When things are going well, they become dominant.
The changing natures of non-normies.
It is critical to understand that we have been seeing a de-masculinizing and a de-femininizing process going on in America for some time, but it is totally contained within the non-normie community. That's because normie men don't de-masculinize and normie women don't de-femininize. As such, more other-centered non-normie males are appearing, along with the parallel phenomenon of more of the charismatic egocentric non-normie women arising. This change is also producing more double-looser non-normies, primarily in women. They are not lesbians playing the masculine role, but they often give the appearance that they might be.
There appears to be no greater concentration of these double-looser non-normie women, in one place, than within the leadership of the group known as the National Organization of Women (N.O.W.), which should be named the Non-normie Organization of Women. These double-looser non-normie leaders, when taking on the egocentric role, are only using their women's lib issues for their own power. When they flip-flop natures, however, they become emotionally one with their cause(s), and there is no issue that they are more one with (having attached their dysfunctional emotional symbols to it) than the right to have an abortion. Double-loosers are also the most fanatical of the non-normies because they are the most driven and, thus, the most polar.
N.O.W. does have the other two types, however. After all, a non-normie group cannot function well without the other-centered non-normies doing all of the work for the egocentric non-normies.
In other non-normie organizations, which most assuredly support the beliefs of N.O.W., these same dynamics are also seen.
The defining characteristic of all non-normies.
There is one defining characteristic that all non-normies have, which truly separates them out from all normies. All non-normies, of any breed, whether causeaholic, workaholic, sexaholic, excerciseaholic, chocaholic, alcoholic, co-alcoholic, or any other type of "aholic," is control. All non-normies are control freaks.
These non-normie control freaks are driven to control their neighborhood, their family, their community, their society and their country. Also, they are driven to control their atmosphere and the events that occur around them. They even want to control the future, which is why they are so obsessive about health and safety issues. But the part that affects you, the normie, most is that they even want to control you, and your children. They want to control both what you do and what you think.
Why is control so critical to non-normies?
First, they are out of control themselves. So they obsessively try to take back that control by controlling everything and everyone around them.
Second, they fear death. They want to live forever, or as close to it as possible. Since they don't know what happens to them after death, the only thing that they can control (they think) is life. Therefore, they try to control as much of life as they can. They are also compulsive worriers, which emanates from their emotional hot spots raging in their psyches. This obsession contributes to their chronic problems with depression and anxiety.
All this knowledge comes from an understanding of non-normies by observing both the alcoholic and the co-alcoholic as they mirror non-normies in society, generally. Let's now review this briefly.
The dynamics of non-normies, in and out of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Alcoholic non-normie men are usually very macho types because they are, deep in their psyches, very insecure in their masculinity. But they are not as insecure as their co-alcoholic (usually) female counterpart, and the alcoholic takes full advantage of this. Alcoholics are totally self-centered. Co-alcoholics are totally other-centered, and they tend to look upon themselves as worthless without the alcoholic. And that's why the alcoholic gets away with so much. The greatest fear of co-alcoholics is that the alcoholics will leave them.
Again, "Learn to understand all non-normies from the alcoholic," as described in detail in the section titled, "WHO ARE NON-NORMIES?"
Let me repeat, now, for emphasis. The same dynamics, of alcoholics and co-alcoholics, apply to non-normies of all types. They don't necessarily drink, do drugs, or have "alholic" after the description of their particular emotional disease. But they all have one thing in common. They are all emotionally driven personalities, and they all have the same basic characteristics. These characteristics are only separated by the influences of the non-normie male versus the non-normie female natural internal dynamics.
The non-normie take-over of any group.
Whenever any of these types of non-normies take over any organization, including a country, you will always see the above two types of non-normies (plus some double-loosers) dysfunctionally managing it. At the top, and in key positions, will be the charismatic egocentric non-normie leaders. Supporting those persons will be a host of non-normie other-centered followers.
Once non-normies are fully in charge, that body will then take on the same characteristics of the non-normies running it. In other words, that organization then becomes as dysfunctional as they are and, thus, self-destructive. Non-normies always, one day, destroy themselves, and eventually they destroy the family, group, or country in which they've imposed their dysfunctional solutions. We see this demonstrated most commonly in the alcoholic family. Unfortunately, it's not limited to the family. The exact same dynamics are employed no matter how big, or small, the group is.
Author's note: I've even seen this play itself out even within the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon. Occasionally some driven non-normie alcoholics, or Al-Anons, who haven't fully surrendered to the program, will attempt to impose their own dysfunctional solutions onto the meeting they are attending. Every time they have been successful in accomplishing this, the meeting was eventually destroyed.
A great symphony often has what sounds like discordant notes, but they are there only to enhance harmony, and they are not designed to bring glory onto themselves. In a non-normie symphony, the discordant notes take over the music and, eventually, there is no harmony.
Non-normies are also great actors. That is why you'll find so many of them in Hollywood. This means that they can be, or pretend to be, anything that they want to be, in order to gain power. Since they truly don't know who they are, they like to take on the persona of another--especially one that they admire. Therefore, it takes a keen eye (which I hope you will develop) to recognize them before they get too far in affecting your life.
Grade them on the "Test another" section that's on this web/blog site. But don't just examine them once. Keep watching and listening to them. Eventually all non-normies reveal themselves (leak), despite their trying not to. Any disguise assumed by the non-normie will one day leak. It may be subtle at first, but soon there will be another clue, and then another. After a while, you'll be able to nail them for who they really are.
For example, listen closely to those posing as intellectuals.
A truly brilliant normie intellectual takes deep thoughts and frames them in understandable words and sentences, because he or she has the unique ability to explain the profound simply. Thomas Sowell, the great black intellectual, demonstrates this quality beautifully.
A non-normie pseudo-intellectual takes seemingly deep thoughts and frames them in complex words and sentences in order to convince others that the dysfunctional explanation, the nonsense that he or she is spewing, is profound. Bishop John Shelby Spong is a perfect example of this type.
Non-normie movie stars, non-normie celebrities and non-normie professors often attempt this. Learn to discern between a true intellectual and a pseudo. They often speak in mantras, repeated over and over, and they are continuously "outraged" at anything that they find objectionable. These mantras include such repeated cliches as, "This shouldn't happen in the richest country in the world," and, "Poor people should have the right to health care, shelter, food, etc.."
These parroted responses betray their lack of intellectual capacity. This is also true in every other field of endeavor, including (but not limited to) law, other areas of entertainment and education, politics, activism, literature, media news, psychology, sociology, social services and religion. They are most predominant within fields that rely heavily on subjective reasoning. That's because subjective reasoning allows more room for non-normies to hide behind dysfunctional thinking and speaking, without getting caught by the facts.
You must understand that non-normie activist causes are a fanatical religion for non-normies. Therefore, they believe that anything that furthers their cause(s) is permissible. This includes lying, cheating, intimidation, character assassination and, even, criminal behavior (as we see currently in the extreme environmental groups). But keep in mind something that I pointed out before. Don't just look at the extreme whackos. Non-normies come in varying degrees and even the more moderate non-normies can be just as dangerous, if not more dangerous, to society. Why? Because of baby step incrementalism.
Extreme non-normies, like environmental groups that torch car lots that house SUVs, are very visible in what they do. More moderate non-normies, however, do their damage under the radar. Non-normie politicians, for example, get legislation passed that advances non-normie laws, little by little. Then, one day you wake up and there is a whole host of laws in existence that amaze you in their seeming idiocy. But now they are the law of the land, and getting them repealed is very difficult.
The same thing applies in the court system. Incrementally non-normie judges will issue small, but definitely insane decisions. Later, as you'll discover, their compounding effect will affect you dramatically and suddenly. Many are small court edicts that the public hardly notices. But, in combination with other previous decisions, whole systems of justice suddenly change monumentally.
We've seen this played out most dramatically in the ability of the government to restrict private land use, through environmental limits under the "Endangered Species" legislation. At first, non-normies promoted this on a seemingly logical basis (as they always do). Once it became law, however, it has been taken to such an extreme by non-normies in the courts that today we have people unable to use or build on their own property, and the government doesn't even have to compensate the owner for his or her loss.
Another area is in education. Dysfunctional non-normie administrative policies have driven our schools down in quality, consistently. Yet, true to their non-normieness, they are always blaming someone else and asking for increased funding to further their non-normie agenda.
The double, triple and quadruple non-normie situations.
As non-normies dominate more and more areas of public life, we are seeing a phenomenon that advances their cause(s) even more rapidly.
The double-non-normie situation is one in which you have an entity where the two play off of each other, like on a college campus. You'll have non-normie professors combining with non-normie students to raise havoc on behalf of their many issues. Even more threatening, however, is the...
triple-non-normie situation that you see largely in the court system. You'll have a non-normie victim, like the one who spilled hot drive-in coffee on herself (because she placed it between her legs), who then goes to a non-normie attorney, who takes the case. Then it's pleaded before a non-normie judge (he or she has to be non-normie because a normie judge would have thrown it out of court). The only fear left is if you have a sufficient number of non-normies on the jury. Then you have a...
quadruple-non-normie situation and you end up with astronomical awards like in this case. This effect is now spreading in the courts. Potential quadruple-non-normie situations have advanced to the point where it is encouraging non-normie lawyers to be brazen enough to even sue fast food establishments for causing their non-normie clients to become fat. Soon they'll be suing soft drink companies for causing diabetes in children.
This is all made possible by the fact that non-normies support the dysfunction of each other. No, this is not a conspiracy. It is merely a knee-jerk response of this disease. You'll see this illustrated in a bar. A non-normie drunk will receive phone calls from people looking for him. Others in the tavern will lie for him, claiming that he's not there, when he's getting plastered next to them.
As I've stated repeatedly, non-normies are self-destructive, and they ban together to destroy themselves. And they take down with them the group or organization that they control. Also, the non-normies who win these large awards for damages are often broke again within a few years (i.e. Rodney King).
Also, non-normies are constantly using the legislatures and the courts to pass legislation or issue edicts that are for your own good. Their driven nature tells them that they are better than you, and know more about what is good for you than you do. They take on a false-bravado persona of arrogance in this process, which is merely a cover-up for their own insecurities.
So be prepared when a non-normie starts preaching to you about good health the next time you order fast food or do anything else that the non-normie disapproves of. Just don't start preaching back unless you want to see a non-normie go insane. Remember, they are hypersensitive. They'll indignantly reply, "Who are you to..."
Non-normie trial balloons.
Non-normie incrementalism, in law, education and politics, depends on trial balloons. Non-normies consistently use the trial balloon in every step they take. They get a seemingly small issue approved, one that their dysfunctional rationalization justifies as being for the good of society, or for a particular group within society.
This process is demonstrated most visibly today in the non-normie homosexual movement. Throughout the nation, non-normie homosexuals have attempted to have laws passed in different states that grant them special rights. You'll notice that they always use the ploy that homosexuals are discriminated against (like black people). This is a typical non-normie dysfunctional rationalization. Why? Because no one can discriminate against any homosexual unless that homosexual announces to the world that he or she is, in fact, a homosexual. Therefore, what the non-normie homosexuals want is not anti-discrimination legislation. They want the right to display their homosexuality openly, without recourse. That is an entirely different issue, and it is a typical non-normie subterfuge to promote it in such a disguised manner.
Don't get me wrong. The dangerous non-normie people that I'm writing about, herein, are absolutely essential ingredients to our society. For example, they make the greatest actors, musicians, athletes and comedians. As such, they have a lot of use to the normie community. But, that use is to entertain normies. Unfortunately, like when making a cake, it's the quantity of the ingredients, as well as when and how they are added to the mix, that determines whether the pastry will turn out good or bad. Too much of one thing or another, or added at the wrong time, will ruin the eventual cake.
Non-normies are like salt in that cake. A pinch is sufficient. Beyond that, you have a salty and terrible tasting cake. More than a pinch of non-normie influence in society creates a dysfunctional country and that leaves a terrible taste in the normie's mouth.
Why have non-normies achieved such influence in the world? There are two reasons for this. First is the fact that we have become a credentialed society. Essentially that means that we only listen to those who have credentials on any subject. But remember (as I said before), if you take a crazy person and educate him or her, all you end up with is an educated crazy person. And, what is even more dangerous, we begin to listen to the crazy person who has now shaped his or her weird opinions, through education, to make nonsense sound somewhat rational.
So why have so many non-normies achieved so many credentials, thus allowing "crazy people" so much influence? First, education does not require great intellect. Sure, reasonable intelligence is a prerequisite. But, beyond that, only tenacity is necessary. Non-normies have more tenacity than normies, because they are driven. Driven people out-work non-driven people everyday. But driven people have agendas and, when they are educated, they don't change those agendas. They only find more sophisticated ways to further rationalize them.
Despite being driven, what's the second reason why non-normies rise so high in society and end up with so much influence? Simple. It's the Law of Adverse Selection.
THE LAW OF ADVERSE SELECTION
That, which will do you the greatest harm, is all the more attracted to you because you will do it the greatest good.
The Law Of Adverse Selection was first discovered by the insurance industry to explain why bad people sought them out and caused them excessive insurance losses. Let me explain by word insertion, and then pretend that you are a major car insurance company with very low premiums.
That (the bad driver), which will do you (the insurance company) the greatest harm, is all the more attracted to you because you will do it the greatest good (protection and low insurance premiums).
In other words:
Bad drivers seek out insurance companies with the lowest premiums because those companies will do the bad driver (economically) the most good. But, in the process, those bad drivers will do the greatest harm to the insurance companies who insure them.
Now, what does this law have to do with non-normies in society, and how does it explain why non-normies are so heavily credentialed? Please follow me carefully, and it will all make sense shortly. But first let me give you an example of using the Law of Adverse Selection outside of, both, the insurance industry and the non-normie world.
Let's say that there is a dangerous dog loose in your neighborhood. He bites everyone. But he cannot find enough food to feed him. That dog sees you put out a nice dish of dog food for your pet, on your porch, every morning. Now what is that mad dog going to do? He's going to kill your pet and eat the meal. Right? Now let's apply that little story to the Law of Adverse Selection.
The mad dog which will do you the greatest harm (kill your pet) is all the more attracted to you because you will do it the greatest good (feed him).
Got it? Good! Let's probe deeper. Now that you understand it, we'll use more complicated issues that affect you and me every day.
Let's assume that we have a young driven non-normie female college freshman who is very psychologically troubled. Knowing this herself, she decides to specialize in the study of psychology. Why? To cure herself, of course. So, through a driven tenacity to find out the cure for her own unsettled nature she, one day, completes her degree, gets her Master's Degree and, eventually, her doctorate. Please note, she's never been cured, because taking psychology courses does not cure the student (nor anyone else). But now she has credentials. She will be licensed, shortly, to go out into the world and project her internal agenda onto a society that will now listen to her carefully because she has social validation.
Remember, when you educate a crazy person, all you end up with is an educated crazy person. Now let's apply this scenario to the Law of Adverse Selection.
This non-normie woman, who will do the profession of psychology the greatest harm, is all the more attracted to it because she thinks that it will do her the greatest good (supposedly mental health).
Now we know that the profession of psychology will not, actually, do her the greatest good. But, going in, she thinks that it will, and that is all that matters. As long as she believes it, she pursues it with the tenacity of a driven person until she achieves her educational goal. Once she receives her doctorate, however, she realizes that she is not cured, but now she can't admit it to the world because, to do so, would admit that her plan failed. So she covers it up, both to society and to herself. As such, her suppressed anger, at not being cured, drives her hidden agendas even further.
For example, if she was molested as a child by her father, her hatred of men can now drive her agenda and be projected onto her patients. This creates great problems for her patients, as well as for the country as a whole. Fathers have actually gone to jail (like the famous case of the vice president of a major wine company) just because of a therapist projecting a non-normie agenda onto the patient in therapy.
I first discovered this need for licensed psychologists and therapists to continue "curing themselves" when I observed a significant quantity of them regularly attending Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon meetings. The number was significant, as a whole. They were not doing research. Again, they were still trying to self-cure. Naturally, at first, they didn't disclose their profession, wanting to get help without embarrassment. But, as I pointed out previously, all non-normies eventually leak who they are. They can't help it.
The psychology profession will claim that the actual therapy sessions that they require from a student, in order for that person to advance into becoming a psychologist, prevents what I described from happening. It's just not so. The profession of psychology is now so dominated by non-normies that they, themselves, can no longer even recognize the non-normieness contained in their own candidates. And, being a totally self-policing organization, it has truly been a case of the inmates taking over the asylum.
IMPORTANT: The Law Of Adverse Selection does not apply to normies because they never secretly inflict "the greatest harm" on anyone, since they are always open and above board in their actions and motives.
Non-normie Symbolism
One thing that the field of psychology pays little or no attention to is non-normie symbolism. Why? For two reasons. First, they don't understand it. Second, they are usually victims of it themselves, and few people will self-indict (absent a twelve-step program).
Here's how it works. Non-normies who seek to displace the raging hot spots within their psyches often turn to substances or relationships for relief. Others seek out causes and become causeaholics. Both groups know, deep within themselves, that there is something wrong with them. But the causeaholics are more likely to blame others for their problems. Psychologically they determine the causes that they don't like. Those causes are tagged as being evil and assigned an evil symbol. The causes that they are driven to pursue, however, are tagged as being good and assigned a symbol of goodness. Once they do this, they are no longer capable of thinking rationally about the two spectrums. Everything they do, now, is a classic fight between good and evil. Naturally, if they are on the side of good, that makes them good. Conversely, if anyone opposes their cause, that person is evil.
You see this often in politics. The non-normie polar-left thinks that all people to the right of them are evil and that they, themselves, are good. The reverse is also true of polar-right.
Once this symbolism lodges firmly in the psyche, it's impossible to remove it. Confronted with a symbolic polar non-normie, save your breath. You can't have an intelligent conversation with him or her for, to disagree with that person, is to become labeled (branded) as being evil.
There is nothing new under the sun.
I had the distinct pleasure, in a college psychology-type class, of presenting a talk on the famous book, Feeling Good, by Dr. David Burns. Its claim to fame was that it arrested depression by using the only form of therapy proven to work--cognitive--which works as good, or even better, than drugs. As such, I not only had to read this book, I had to study it backwards and forwards. In addition, I was required to complete all of the exercises and, then, prepare them so that the students in the class could do them, and also be graded, quickly.
It was a great learning experience for me, and the book proved fairly conclusively that drugs are usually (but not always) a psychological cop-out for lazy psychiatrists. And, since the emotional disease of depression is largely a characteristic of non-normies (except when caused by a mental or physical disorder), this knowledge was a valuable addition to my portfolio.
You see, non-normie depression is actually caused by their dysfunctional thinking process. Their unrealistic expectations collide with reality (loss). Reality (loss), being unacceptable to non-normies, is not grieved. This lack of grieving then produces anger which, when turned inward, results in depression. That's why Dr. Burns' book, used consistently, controls depression. It teaches non-normies how to take contrary action to their normal dysfunctional emotional reactions. In other words, it instructs them how to think functionally like a normie (at least while the non-normies have the book cover open). This, I might add, is exactly what the twelve-step process of Alcoholics Anonymous also teaches. Both are forms of cognitive therapy in which the patient has surrendered to the normie program.
Coincidently, at the very same time, I was taking a class in "Oral Interpretation of Literature," where I had to do a dramatic presentation on the book of Ecclesiastes. It was fascinating that I found most of the same advise in both books, only Ecclesiastes was written about three thousand years prior to Dr. Burns book. No, Dr. Burns didn't plagiarize. This parallel counsel just illustrates one of the famous lines from the book of Ecclesiastes. "There is nothing new under the sun."
In addition, St. Paul specifically had a message on how to prevent a person from becoming a non-normie. He said in,
Ephesians 4:26 (The Reformation Study Bible Version):
"...do not let the sun go down on your anger..."
Non-normies let thousands of suns go down on their anger. Paul wasn't saying, "Don't get angry." Instead he was saying, "Be angry, but sin not." In other words, don't let your anger turn into the "root of bitterness."
Earlier I described how to make a bad salty cake. Now, let's make a fine and delicious product. But, to do so, we must have one common denominator. If you want to make a great cake, you must read the instructions printed in the recipe. Then you have to follow them precisely. Sure, one can deviate a little to make it sweeter or more tart. But to make the advertised cake, you must do exactly what the originator wrote and add the ingredients in the amount and order that was prescribed.
The same is true with life. If you want to get good results, you must follow the recipe of the Creator. If the Creator says, for example, "Don't let the sun go down on your anger," he means that we must not carry our anger into the next day where it can start to fester within.
Non-normies ignore this warning and nurse their anger inside their psyches. This is like putting a cup of salt into the cake mix when the recipe calls for a pinch. Yet, even though non-normies insist on providing their own recipe, they demand that the results be what they want, a tasty cake. They never get it, and that makes them even more angry.
This compounding effect of adding more salt to the cake makes it even worse, so they add even more salt, and each time the results get far worse. They further blame outside forces for their own problem. They claim that they are not at fault. Life, or God, did it to them. They are never to blame.
As I often say, the great flaw in the original Freudian psychology was that awareness, by itself, would lead to a cure. Nothing could be further from the truth. Awareness may be a necessary ingredient on the path to overcoming a psychological problem, but non-normies have to do something more, namely grieving. Without beginning this grieving process in childhood, there was no other way to curtail their raging and multiplying hot spots.
Now, with conflagration areas ready to catch fire and burn out of control, their only possible method of achieving internal peace is by being parented by a functional cognitive normie program.
Author's note: I'd love to start a twelve-step program for non-normie causeaholics, but I doubt if anyone would show up. These people live in a greater denial than practicing alcoholics. At least with drinking, your body eventually tells you when you've exceeded your maximum. Non-normie causeaholics have no such internal monitoring system other than their ever increasing emotional pain. So they continue to answer that agony by adding more salt to the cake, the taste of which enrages them, so they add even more salt.
There is an old saying:"Time heals all wounds." This is true for normies, because they have grieved their losses and, as a result, time is kind to their psyches.
Conversely, time exacerbates non-normie wounds. They grow larger, ferment longer, and, eventually, they destroy the person harboring them.
There was a major study done, in the early nineties, in which a major network sent out a crew to interview everyone in the country who was over the age of one-hundred. They were looking for common life-style denominators that accounted for their long life. They found none. Some drank. Others didn't. Some smoked. Others didn't. Some were thin. Others were fat. In virtually every area that society recommends for extending life, there were some who followed those rules. But others didn't. In other words, there were no commonalities, except one. Every person interviewed had a good positive mental attitude. I didn't have access to the data, but I know one thing. None of these were non-normies. Why? Because non-normies don't have good positive mental attitudes. Besides, as I mentioned above, non-normies destroy themselves before their time.
This is critical to understand. Non-normieness is incurable. It can be brought under control, as I found out personally. But it will never be cured because the internal hot spots, and their resulting symbols, are too firmly in place. It requires an actual submission, a surrender, to truth--which is too often counter to the internal drives of non-normies. That's why it isn't just awareness that does it. It takes hard psychological work, repeated daily, to control it. Absent this effort, it is only made worse by dysfunctional attempts to displace the burning fires within through substances or causes. Substance abuse may drive up health care costs, but the pursuit of non-normie causes can bring down our entire country.
Proverbs 11:3 (The King James Version) states:
"The integrity of the upright shall guide them; but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them."
It's amazing how one Biblical passage can sum up this entire section.
