Nothing in this post or on this entire website is asking you to BELIEVE anything.

Instead, I want us all to apply what we have already learned so that we can better understand who has authority over our lives and our future incomes - and why.

This post - for example - is not attempting in any way to diagnose educators with a personality disorder or place any other clinical type diagnosis upon their heads.  Instead, the aim of this post is purely to demonstrate the clear narcissistic behaviors I have seen educators exhibit within a classroom setting, so that you can make a more informed decision, or help your student make a more informed decision about their education.

Narcissistic Educators have been the bane of education for all of the same reasons they have become the bane of every other sector of business - because their ill-formed and ill-intended systems of belief are entrenched at a foundational level of our society. 

What then are narcissistic behaviors we can spot, track, and record with accuracy?
(Answers provided by Psychology Today - link at the bottom.)

1. A grandiose sense of self-importance
2. A lack of empathy for others
3. A need for excessive admiration
4. A belief that one is unique and deserving of special treatment

*It’s generally assumed that people either don’t realize that they are narcissists, or deny it to avoid a challenge to their identity. But in research using the so-called Single-Item Narcissism Scale, people who answered affirmatively to the single question, “Are you a narcissist?” were far more likely than others to score highly on narcissism on the 40-question Narcissistic Personality Inventory."  (Narcissism | Psychology Today, 2019)

If you notice any of the following - you might be dealing with a person entrenched in entitlement culture:

1.  You learn more about them personally than the class' learning objectives.
2.  They use half-truths to generate pomp and circumstance over their participation in your education.
3.  They use small talk to belittle significant people in their lives.  This is especially true if they use the appearance of the other person/people as a signal relaying important information.  This is compounded further if by the end of the first 2 days, despite knowing almost zero positive information about this significant other, you have lost all respect for them. 
4.  They tell the class to be afraid of their future, especially their ability to find work in the future.
5.  They state they are "BIG INTO" effective altruism - and then proceed to tell a classroom full of adults struggling with rent AND healthcare - their biggest concern with the TRILLIONS going into AI - is that it's NOT going into longevity research instead.  Because he, an upper-middle-class OLD WHITE MAN, thinks longevity research is super important right now.
6.  They ignore basic psychological facts regarding how students learn and instead push agendas and propaganda-laced instruction that seems to serve no purpose other than empowering the current status-quo.
7.  They use their child/children (especially the adopted one with personal trauma) as a leverage to make students respect them.
8.  You know more about their Twitter follower count than you do job opportunities in the relevant industry.
9.  They remark often about their connections, possibly even including 'pro-social billionaires'.
10.  Doom engineering on YouTube podcasts is treated as instruction.
11.  Hollywood movies feature more than facts.
12.  They tell students it's their fault they don't know how to read (like the teacher does), so the teacher can only assign videos and short essays. 
13.  They totally ignore the economics of a subject or current discoveries - if it makes their view of the current situation not relevant and not entirely true.
14.   They expect you to buy their book and then instruct you to tear out pages each day to prove attendance, thereby insuring books cannot be resold to future students - and an endless supply of $$$.
15.  The syllabus only contains information from a single ethnicity - and the teacher clearly states - the only successful people are those that are entrenched in the dogmatic doctrine of that ethnicity - despite any atrocities that ethnicity might have committed against you and your entire culture.
16.  You tell them you're 'hard of hearing' and are working to get assistance through doctors and then the school, but that those channels will take a long time - so you ask if they can simply turn up the volume a bit on their online lecture and they reply, "I can hear it fine.  Try turning up your browser window."
17.  They are teaching you about sexual psychology but you are giving them WAY MORE INFO than they are giving you.
18.  Their sexual psychology book promotes porn stars and porn in general but fails to admit any of the actual facts about how porn is generated and the destruction it has caused.  (Not a single mention of pornhub and their use of CP and non-consensual material... is an enormous red flag to students - that the class, or at least the instructor, has ulterior motives.  WE MUST ASSUME, thanks to Ohio State, Harvard, MIT, and many others - that these ulterior motives are coordinated AND implemented for a reason.)
19.  They use Hollywood to 'connect to students' - pushing movies upon movies upon movies - as if they were anything other than social engineering at its worst.
20.  They ignore basic facts - like: guns are the leading cause of death for kids and pregnant women in the US, because rich men can sell violence - despite hundreds of studies proving the horrific damage this type of programming causes.
21.  When questioned about missing perspectives on the data presented (such as embodied cognition or how much AI is generating for revenue) they show micro expressions of anger and annoyance, and then pretend to make notes or dismiss the subject entirely.  (Ego driven educators HATE it when you show more knowledge than they do, and even more so when you show signs of actual comprehension - something their limited frequency does not allow for.)
22.  They ignore serious mental harm in favor of being liked.
23.  They promote celebrities and influencers (like Chomsky) knowing their true beliefs and actions DO NOT match with the general consensus of what being a 'decent person' actually involves.  (We all knew about Chomsky - long before this last batch of Epstein files - the data was there, so, if your psych or philosophy teacher was still using them in the name-drop game - take note that human slavery, trafficking, and the abuse of women AND children are not important to your teacher - not any more than it was to Chomsky, MIT, Harvard, or any of the institutions which turned their wide and far seeing eyes from the truth.)
24.  They really want you to know they appeared on Joe Rogan.
25.  Like... they really really really want you to know they appeared on Joe Rogan and many other podcasts which stoke fear as a form of forcing interaction.
26.  You've seen all of their book titles but have not learned one thing about HOW they gathered the information they are selling you (the consumer of education).
27.  They provide a very limited structure of how you can pass the class - that is entirely at their subjective discretion.
28.  They don't have a problem with the SM platform they promote and endorse generating and selling child porn.
29.  They fail to mention that the Hollywood movies and AI platforms they are highly endorsing are all generated by a very small handful of white males who have connections to Epstein and white supremacy.
30.  They act like the gun violence their students have dealt with (some since birth) is something students need to get over in order to function within their class.
31.  Despite teaching a class on AI - they know almost nothing about AI, as it pertains to psychology, education, business, or the economy.
32.  They have not taken the time to map out the entire class - only the first couple of days, which are entirely spent on gossip and banter around the teacher's credentials, his silly/stupid wife, and his belief Hollywood instructs better than he does.
33.  They use valuable class time to instill fear - instead of hope.
34.  They use valuable class time to elucidate all of the reasons the paid professor is unable to teach at a higher education level.
35.  They use valuable class time to prop up their identity as a writer, when it is not a writing class.
36.  They tell you that successful people in their field got into positions of tenure by providing lip-service to their 'betters' whom they knew were wrong.
37.  They state that tenured professors should use that TENURE SAFETY NET to really do good - and then ignore the fact THEIR students are being picked up illegally by ICE, are dying by Hollywood sponsored bullets, and are being preyed upon by men the teacher actively supports - so that they can focus on what's really important - LONGEVITY RESEARCH.
38.  Basic human decency and decorum is not their go-to when confronted about anything.
39.  They don't have a prepared syllabus - and when they bring it up - they blame the student.  "Well..." they state, "I wanted to see what y'all are into."
40.  They tell you on the first day that they are a really good teacher.
41.  They tell a classroom of PhD students (at a non Ivy League School) "it's important to get your PhD from an Ivy League School if you want to be taken seriously."  (What Are the 12 Ivy League Schools?, 2023)
42.  They focus on self-promotion.
43.  They suppress opposite views.
44.  They show zero loyalty to ANYONE.
45.  They consistently lack empathy. 
46.  Their viewpoint is consistently different from your own.
47.  They love to brag.
48.  They fish for compliments - despite being paid to do a job they've only just started.
49.  They express anger as a first response to having their position challenged.
50.  They willingly exploit others or make excuses for the exploitation of others.
51.  They name drop those whom they believe will boost their status.  Repeatedly, and in print.
52.  Patronizing behavior and speech.
53.  Having disdain for REAL WORLD EXPERIENCES.
54.  Equating the lived experiences of others to made-up Hollywood-versions.
55.  Find no value in their students' lived experiences.
56.  They use fear and posturing to scare away students they feel ill-equipped to acknowledge equally.
57.  They fake humility.
58.  They avoid situations where they hold themselves accountable.
  

Narcissism is a reductive condition which operates within a very narrow frequency of comprehension.  Their inability to take in information in the form of empathy for others combined with their inability to face significant portions of their own behaviors and attitudes, means they are not able to be receptive to the whole picture.  This makes educators with narcissistic traits not only bad teachers but counter productive and possibly even dangerous. 

Their willingness to expose others to their massive myopia and then do it with such grandiose superiority - is both comical and profoundly sad.  The power these ill-equipped and nearly emotionally illiterate people wield is not at all proportional to the power they deserve - or have earned.  And until this is fixed - within education - and every other sector of our society - we will continue to have our lives blown about like dead leaves in a brisk wind.

Do the types of teachers/educators who display the signs above have a mental or mood disorder?

I don't fucking care.

These recordable and measurable markers of bad behavior and attitudes are enough (at least in my eyes) to disqualify a person from acting as any kind of educator.

What they know is so warped and twisted by their own mental and emotional constraints NOTHING they have to teach will resemble truth or integrity.

And until educators with these types of issues are rooted out and removed permanently from education our society will continue to limp forward with less than half the education they paid for.

The above list of 58 items which display clear narcissistic behaviors is by no means comprehensive.  If you would like me to add more - please send them to me via my contact page or via a comment below.

Only through recognizing how and why the failings of a few arrogant and emotionally blind people continue to hamstring an entire society that was built upon the notion of self-improvement will we be able to successfully remove the threat.

‌What Are the 12 Ivy League Schools? (2023). Crimsoneducation.org. https://www.crimsoneducation.org/us/blog/what-are-the-12-ivy-league-schools
‌

Before I go much further I must address the amount of Fear and Posturing that is happening within education right now.  I know because I have witnessed GROSS examples of it, even just recently, as a professor struggled to deal with their own compiling fears.

But first, we must look at WHO is using fear and other negative non-social means to 'educate' us.

Because it's not the norm, nor is it something that is normally acceptable, and yet... certain professors (teacher's aids even) slide into this reactive, knee-jerk mode whenever their ego gets a bump.

I suspect (mostly from hours and hours of studying and reading about psychology) that those who resort to fear and intimidation, especially initially, are actually extremely intimidated.  Those that double and triple down on the child-like posturing - even more so.

You see, it takes strength to hold compassion, especially for someone you can't identify with, someone you don't really regard as a human deserving of equality.  Perhaps that's why Matthew McConnehey was keen to go on the very first episode of "Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man", a podcast started during the BLM protests, where he wasted zero time arguing for 'MERIT-BASED EQUALITY'.  Something he did directly after admitting on camera - he had no idea racism even existed prior to the riots...

In all of my observations, I have never seen an ounce of actual humanity or real compassion from Mr. McConnehey.  I've witnessed (via twitter and other public social  settings) him using black athletes during the BLM protests, instead of connecting with them equally.  I witnessed him belittle his wife by ONLY referring to her as arm candy - and then ignore her for the better part of a year in favor of shining his light on things that would improve his social standing... in his eyes.

When people cannot hold compassion - they cannot hold the story, the whole story - they can only hold the whip-like tail they think is serving them.  In fact, this is why we have the saying, "when the tail wags the dog."

Men like McConnehey, who deny other people's lived experiences in the face of all evidence, have to use posturing to cover for their inability to take in information they cannot process, which is always the majority of the information.

Without compassion humans cannot even grasp the truth, let alone distribute it.

The collective psyche of humanity has been driven into Plato's cave, where now we are expected to believe that top-down charity is beneficial, that billionaires are ethical (even prosocial), and the health and welfare of ourselves and our families is less important than the machinations of the social cannibals?

When we hand the keys over to the type of people who use fear and intimidation - they hunt, harm, and farm our children. 

They gather them into useless buildings and habituate them to their own slavery.

The only people who don't seem to recognize that we have more than enough proof of the programming that has been going on, is still going on, even (perhaps especially) at the University level - seems to be the knee jerk fear-wielding sociopath-like professors, who have never integrated the PRACTICE OF HUMANITY with their style of 'education' because they were not required to.

That has to change.

Fear and Loathing... tells us a lot about today's Storytelling...

how the constellation of story lines allowed to pass the evil gatekeepers - has driven certain narratives to the exclusion of all else, and the Fear and Posturing of our educators - seems to be doing the vary same thing.

If you have a teacher who is using fear and posturing as a way to 'keep valid complaints, concerns, and testimony from being expressed safely' then you are a victim of this cycle, and you simply do not deserve it.

I know it is terrifying taking a stand and going to the Dean of Students with your complaint, as we have ample proof the system is corrupted in favor of these fear-mongers, but things will not get better for any of us if we simply keep quiet about the blatant abuses these educators are perpetrating upon us.

We have the right to be heard in the manner we are speaking - which we know cannot happen at the fear-wielding professor level.

We have a right to get the education we paid for, not the education broken and vastly unprepared and unqualified people are at times trying to force upon us.

Fear and intimidation are the byproducts of not being prepared, not having the backbone, the balls, or INTEGRITY to do what is right and proper.  Fear and posturing is what toddlers do, I know, as a former daycare teacher.  The tantrums of toddlers and the tantrums of overly entitled professors who rest their 'merit based' equality upon the pillar of unearned privilege - are the SAME. 

They both lack the ability to connect at an adult level, at an equal level.  And just as a toddler demands - the knee-jerk professor who resorts first to posturing and/or intimidation is unable to summon the necessary skills to meet another adult human at the level they deserve - a level of common respect, courtesy, and decorum.

And it's simply because they are terrified of their own inability to function in a society that requires compassion (and the applied tools of compassion) for success.  

Sadly, their own fear becomes the only functioning tool in their toolbox they feel equipped to wield.

Don't let them spread that fear to you.

You have a right to be educated in the classes you pay for - by educators QUALIFIED to pass along the full package of what is KNOWN information in that field.  And teachers who wield fear as their shield are ill-equipped to provide that to you.  Sadly, a desperate need to hide that fact from everyone is what I believe ultimately drives them into the dark recesses of their own internalized fear.

The choice is yours, ultimately, because only you know what is at stake, as education is the only regulated ladder out of colonial-initiated poverty.

But know this... there are loads of people working tireless right now, generating new systems of education - so that mental and social predators - such as those who only have fear as a tool - will not be allowed any authority in your betterment, or the betterment of your children.

Education is NO JOKE - but the educators who wield fear and intimidation - instead of knowledge, wisdom & compassion - are.  And The Joke is On Them.  Because the time they waste trying to prop up half the story will leave them with nothing but a comical and cautionary legacy.

Your time - the time of humanity - is upon us.

Now.

*I'm picking on Mr. McConnehey  today because the National Society of Leadership and Success has decided to use this extremely ill-equipped celebrity as a spokesperson.  (More in an upcoming post.)

I come from educators, in one way or another, so I have made a point of keeping track of not only AI but how it is being taught and addressed within education.  And what I have seen is not just terrifying - it's predictive programming.

It's not surprising, to most of us, when a Harvard or other ivy league scholar truncates information to fit their model of reality (which invariably includes privilege and entitlement in ways they aren't even aware of) because higher education was built upon limiting voices to those who provide lip service - AND - to those who provide expedient solutions to something that benefits their egos or bank accounts.

We know this because we can see how the kickbacks have played out these past 75 years or so, especially since Epstein and his network of well connected educators, billionaires, and head hunters (Les Wexner), became the not so silent power structure behind AI, and sadly - the internet itself.

As a victim of intentional social media harm, perpetrated by those running the platforms and supporting them (I welcome any and all lawsuits in this regard), I can honestly say, the wolves are running zee hen house.

And many educators are simply too stupid, too narcissistic, too ego driven, or too power hungry, to see or care. 

And many are simply predators themselves, which I believe we've all seen ample proof of as well (however, if not - I'm working it into a rather lengthy book on exploitation).  From Harvard to Columbia to MIT - the proof is there.

From the CEO of Lifetouch to Elon's CP Grok images, to his trafficking sex bots (?) and more than sketchy algorithms - anyone not relying on AI to provide the answers or even the most relevant questions can see for themselves the way this VAST NETWORK behaves.

And those teaching psychology, economics, computer tech, business, accounting, healthcare or education should absolutely know AND distribute the facts surrounding the generation and implementation of today's leading military weapons, weapons being actively promoted (often via propaganda machines) within our education systems.

As for AI - I will need to cover this topic in greater and greater detail as I unfold how it has come to be, and how the current models of education are both making it WORSE and aiding in the ultimate bursting of this monstrous bubble.

But first... I suggest you watch the videos below as we will be discussing them at great length in future posts.

Until then, stay frosty.  Because those educating you most likely have ulterior motives and an ulterior playbook.

Epstein was entrenched at Harvard, and his minions like Gates and Chomsky were entrenched at MIT.

What are those institutions doing about it?

What are you doing about it?


Come back soon for more information on
eugenics
and how evolutionary scientists
have pushed the edge of reason
by trying to force reality to fit
the delusions of a handful of evil
maniacal monsters.

*Evil Maniacal Monsters: those who take sadistic pleasure in the suffering (intentional and not) of living beings.

In the United States higher education is one of the only structured ladders out of poverty, and yet... time and again, I have seen how the pay-wall to education seems designed to not only keep some types of people from participating in benefiting themselves, their families, and their communities (via hard work and dedication), but it also seems designed to provide benefits to the entitlement-entrenched, which they in-turn hold over the heads of everyone they consider beneath them - in a VERY normalized dictatorial manner.

This matters.

Because these are the same folks holding the literal keys to the future success of MILLIONS OF PEOPLE who have continually and systematically been targeted for suppression.

This has to change.

Until Then...

I am putting together a list of Educator Red Flags - so that you can better identify teachers who do not align with your integrity or goals within the first 2 days of class.  Hopefully this will better allow students to use the very brief Drop Function, which should allow the refund of the money.  Sadly, by dropping a rotten class you will not be able to get back the wasted time, but if you act quickly enough you might be able to fill the now-open slot with valuable credits.

That's why understanding what Educator Red Flag looks like is super important - because nothing should derail your education schedule - especially not lazy, non-ethical teachers.

So, please check back soon, as I begin to cover the different Red Flags I have encountered within the first few days of class.  I will go into what I saw, how it can be noticed and understood within the context of basic human decency AND their ability to teach, and what you can do about it.

You have rights.  And your right to receive the education you paid for is not gone, it's just not being respected.

Because of this, I will attempt to elucidate all of the ways you can protect yourself in what appears to be a very predatory and potentially dangerous environment.

The Storyteller 

There is a disturbing reality regarding the ladders out of poverty available to women (academia being an important one), a reality where old-world, ass kissing, kickback-loving, sociopathic predators and their lackeys act as gatekeepers.

It has become something I can clearly define - and measure - as I have navigated my way through the labyrinth of nonsense surrounding education in the US, in my efforts to enter an economic playground previously held over my head.

With little agency over things like the substance and quality of my paid-for-education, I find my only real outlet for all of this observed oppression - for the moment at least - is here. 

You see, I cannot control the quality, or lack there of, of the information being offered, nor can I control the intent behind the lectures, the book sales, the promoted podcasts, or blatant agendas.

What I can do... is outline in very detailed, specific, measurable, and quantifiable ways, what I have come up against in terms of entitlement in academia, and place those instances within the proper context of the social and economic influences which permeates them.

From Educator Red Flags to The Price of Education... I am going to show everyone what it costs to play ball with those who have hidden behind privilege for far too long.  Given the agency educators have over the outcome of our lives, their confused intent in educating our populous absolutely needs to be discussed at great length. 

Educators must be challenged, so that their intent AND actions are better suited TO END what we now understand as systematic oppression and the silencing of entire swaths of people.

The power grabs we are witnessing in the news are mirrored in the halls of academia.  As lip service is still in play, and the suggested manor of dealing with 'entitled professors' with tenure.

What both academia AND its pillars need realize, however - is that the hunted have come for their education - and we are not going to give a single inch when it comes to basic humanity, decorum, and inclusion.

Attempts to scare me away, intimidate me, or influence my self-esteem - as a way to avoid accountability -  will be reported in depth and recorded for posterity.

The time of keeping with tradition is over.  The tradition of harming certain students, silencing others, and forcing partisan agendas - is over.

Namaste
The Storyteller 

Chomsky and Gates and MIT are perfect examples of why lip service and the 'Good ol' boy's club' are the root of today's education issues.

They went unchallenged.  They were blindly supported.  They had that look.

That same look as the only people positively reported on over our very intentionally attenuated history... reductionist education - at its best.

It is what it is - and the truly horrifying thing about what academic learning has become - is how much lip service and name dropping has replaced integral pedagogy.

Perhaps they were right to fear us.  Perhaps they were right to not allow us entry into their reductionist (male cognition only) spaces.

Because it's clear... academia - and the pillars of this increasingly exploitative industry... fear challenge. 

Especially from women. 

It's funny (not haha funny - just - OMG! That's not okay! funny) how obvious that innate fear is - in very definable and measurable ways. 

Especially post Epstein. 

Though, I must admit, being a data specialist has made it easy for me to see patterns in human behavior, now.  And, being an empathic accountant in leading industries - has given me another unique perspective.

You see, there's a business to everything, a continual ongoing in-and-out / credit-and-debt structure to everything, as it were.  And we're seeing what that means when we don't collectively decide upon universal rules and then obtain folks with integrity to uphold them.

We are collectively seeing what happens when narcs and egoically driven pleasure seekers are allowed to charm us into handing them our news, entertainment, living, savings, and our daughters.

Unearned entitlement reeks.  And it is the calling card of manipulators at work.

Like an athlete's locker after a season of hot weather practices, with long forgotten fetid socks and stank-riddled jock straps trapped beneath old equipment...unearned entitlement has a distinct calling card, and leaves a lasting impression, that never fails to reveal essential facts about a person - and situation.

And to have it not only saturate the only climbing structure out of poverty - but to mandate its continued support as well - is totally reprehensible - at best. 

There's an agenda to everything.  And too much has been laid at the feet of complacency and profit.

Honest, meaningful, humanistic effort is obvious, however.  

At least at this frequency.

So, take heed.  You might not be as opaque as you think you are.

Namaste.
