It makes sense that narcissists are more likely to develop dementia because psychopaths already HAVE brain damage or disfunction in the frontal lobes. (No, narcissists aren't necessarily psychopaths, but the two groups do share important characteristics, including egocentricity and a lack of empathy, conscience, and remorse -- and thus many diagnosed as narcissists are probably also psychopaths).

Interesting topic-adjacent book:

The Psychopath Inside: A Neuroscientist's Personal Journey into the Dark Side of the Brain

From the Amazon description (bold added):

For his first fifty-eight years, James Fallon was by all appearances a normal guy. A successful neuroscientist and professor, he’d been raised in a loving family, married his high school sweetheart, and had three kids and lots of friends. Then he learned a shocking truth that would not only disrupt his personal and professional life, but would lead him to question the very nature of his own identity.

While researching serial killers, he uncovered a pattern in their brain scans that helped explain their cold and violent behavior. Astonishingly, his own scan matched that pattern. And a few months later he learned that he was descended from a long line of murderers. Fallon set out to reconcile the truth about his own brain with everything he knew as a scientist about the mind, behavior, and personality.

This is a bombshell substack column.

The result of this infiltration is fibrosis (scarring).

Any tissue involved is subject to the formation of masses and tissue-destructive lesions - all with characteristic histopathological appearances.

This ‘dis-ease’ is relapsing and remitting, which means it comes and goes, and during the acute phase - the part where it ‘comes’ - “in approximately 51–70% of people with this disease, serum IgG4 concentrations are elevated”. (See reference #4). It has been well-documented that steroids can help with this ‘dis-ease’. This would also explain why steroids work well in people suffering from both COVID and adverse event reactions. Ahem.

Inflammation and the deposition of connective tissue in affected anatomical sites can lead to organ dysfunction, organ failure, or even death if not treated.

This sentence blew my mind.

Gobbledegook, projection, and hallucination ("You believe that genes . . . are the root cause of your situation" -- where'd THAT come from?). I think you're the one "conscously evading reality. Pathogens are real, as are other physical causes of disease.

path·o·gen | ˈpaTHəˌjen, ˈpaTHəj(ə)n | noun Medicine a bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease.

Yes, emotional damage and repressed intellectual dishonesty CAN and DO cause physical symptoms.

SO CAN bacteria. So can viruses (which, yes DO exist), parasites, venom, poisons in the environment and in food or water (e.g., flouride), and plenty of other things. How many people have been murdered by poison over the centuries? Yes, poison and disease organisms (many of which "work" by creating poisons) are real and so are the damage and diseases they cause.

You are not doing your readers any favors by denying the reality of disease organisms and other causes of physical dis-ease. Anyone who's picked up an intestinal parasite on a visit to, say, Mexico can tell you that having one's beliefs challenged or otherwise being made intellectually or emotionally uncomfortable is NOT the only thing that can bring on physical distress.

The "vaccines" are another good example. There is enormous and irrefutable statistical and other evidence that they cause bodily harm and death.

I am not denying the power of emotional trauma to cause problems of many types; I've posted repeatedly about the ACE Study, for example, which found (among a cohort of ~ 17,500 Kaiser Permanente members) that childhood trauma, especially when two or more traumas are involved (for example, an alcoholic parent AND a death in the family), has VERY strong and negative life-long effects (average age of the cohort was 57). Physical effects included a higher rate of smoking, of cancer, of injecting drugs, of violent behavior, of suicide attempt, of broken bones, and plenty of other things. None of that came from bacteria or viruses.

But plenty of dis-ease DOES come from disease organisms of various types. BOTH things can be and ARE true: emotional trauma (dis-ease as you put it) and pathogenic organisms both cause disease states and sometimes physical damage.

Please stop telling people otherwise.

That's not what I get when I read her substack articles, or listen to her in interviews. Is it possibly you are judging her without knowing much about her or her work?

Jessica has a substack column on that topic:

Remember I thought myocarditis might actually be cardiac amyloidosis? In many cases, it might well be. A case study confirms.

https://jessica5b3.substack.com/p/remember-i-thought-myocarditis-might

This theory she's developing -- with 33 endnotes here, btw -- might be wrong, but she's no idiot:

Jessica Rose

Dr. Jessica Rose is a Canadian researcher with a Bachelor's Degree in Applied Mathematics and a Master's degree in Immunology from Memorial University of Newfoundland. She also holds a PhD in Computational Biology from Bar Ilan University and 2 Post Doctoral degrees: one in Molecular Biology from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and one in Biochemistry from the Technion Institute of Technology. She was also accepted for a 2-month program as a senior researcher at the Weizmann Institute prior to completion of her latest post doctoral degree at the Technion. Her more recent research efforts are aimed at descriptive analysis of the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) data in efforts to make this data accessible to the public.

What they are proclaiming as fact, and again without cause or research or studying, is that the deposition of collagen as a natural part of our biology is interrupted and ends up depositing into the blood stream and building up in the arteries.

She's positing a theory, yes, but "without cause or research or studying" is misleading. She provides 33 endnotes, and says "This reminds me of something, and gets me back to why I started researching connective tissue disorders 3 weeks ago, in the first place."

Jessica is a tenacious and detail-oriented scientist; this particular substack posted today is more of a progress report on a new line of inquiry than a finished product.

Yes, and the more we know about HOW the "vax" wrecks the human body, the better.

A plausible, science-backed mechanism for those horrifying new clots goes a long way towards validating their reality.

She hasn't seen them IN PERSON, for crying out loud. Have YOU? She obviously knows about them and has seen reports and photos; she INCLUDED SOME PHOTOS IN THE SUBSTACK I POSTED.

This is unconvincing to me. I don't see how letting people VIEW posts on TS, as opposed to giving them access to posting and commenting, is any kind of security threat to the platform. You can certainly visit TS (try it) even if you only get a "sign up" page. Why would simply viewing posts be more of a security problem?

And then there's this:

Bingo.

Good point!

You could be right, but I see the smirks and his other behavior differently -- he's a narcissistic psychopath who is rich enough to feel vastly better than and completely insulated from humanity as a whole, and the smirks highlight that. Lately he's been showing some discomfort as it becomes clear to him that many people have begun seeing him in a more realistic light.

Also, he's STILL funding horrifying research and projects that use stealth and lies to push poison into the world. If he's under White Hat control it would surprise me greatly.

I heard him make that comment (as I remember it, he actually said " by 10 to 15%") during part of a TED Talk I watched and at the time thought WTF?

You'd have learned too much.

Good way to put it.

And by now, "education" has morphed into preventing the young from learning anything real at all -- instead force-feeding them Woke-ism, self-hatred, and a dozen other varieties of toxic anti-life, anti-freedom nonsense.

The Greatest Emancipations: How the West Abolished Slavery by Jim Powell is an excellent -- and epic -- look at the slave trade throughout the West and the struggles to abolish it.

It was difficult to read more than a few chapters at a sitting but found myself picking it up again every few days, fascinated. It took me over a year to finish, reading in small chunks. Quite an eye-opener.

No problem, fren.

Uh, purkiss, I'm thinking this isn't legit. Everything from the not-so-accurate Trump "signature" to the "checks" being "authorized by the Trump Administration" to . . . well, everything I read about them when I do a search makes me think they're a scam.

The Atlantic published LET’S DECLARE A PANDEMIC AMNESTY on October 31st 2022 and the Awake-not-Woke crowd (including us) immediately slammed the idea and used it to highlight the truth: That regulators, politicians, doctors, hospital staff and management, news organizations, major corporations, and a LOT of other people and organizations were GUILTY AS SIN of pushing death-dealing propaganda, censoring the truth, and taking Big Money for helping push the Poison Death Shot.

Talk about the Streisand Effect. This "please forgive us for forcing you to wear useless masks and killing your business and making you take dangerous injections and insulting you for resisting our psychopathic power-grabs" maneuver backfired so strongly that the person or persons who suggested it is probably now sleeping with the fishes. Well, that's probably overstating it. They wouldn't do THAT, would they?

Thanks! I'm not on Twitter though.

The Establishment LOVED Trump -- right up until he ran for President and started exposing corruption and telling us he'd actually return Power to the people.

It's awfully good that Mr. Trump isn't in charge of the Justice system in our country. -- Hillary Clinton, in a televised debate

Because you'd be in jail. -- Trump's reply

(From memory, so if the wording isn't quite right, my apologies).

EDIT: A quick search shows that Killary's sentence above isn't quite word-perfect and that Trump's response is. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFGiZT-MnI4 for that snippet from the debate.

LOL
