I believe mole rat jesus died on the 31st year, raised on the 33rd year, so it's more of a tradition of mole rat self sacrifice. Like seppuku or Harry Carry -- someone correct me on the written versus spoken forms of this Japanese tradition (in need of revival).

But you may wonder, "Aren't there any mole rats that don't believe in the tradition of self sacrifice?" And I would tell you, Yes. Yes, there are plenty that don't follow these traditions.

And you'd think in reply, "Well, that's odd. If these," let's called them "'alternative' mole rats broke away from the traditions of self sacrifice, why aren't there more older mole rats today?"

Well, it's a sad but simple truth, Timmy, but usually the jesus worshipping mole rats kill the nontraditional, alternative mole rats (who have the ability to live forever) -- and, really, any type of worshipper of something can fulfill this role of antagonizer: mole rats who worship pagan mole gods, power, money, the God of molterial possessions, AIDS. And these mole rats murder the alternative mole rats. Or drive them into suicide, fulfilling their ritualistic traditions of self sacrifice for their sun mole god. Or some type of mole rat god. There are many others...

One day the mole rat society will have a scientific term for the process by which a restrictive institution innately develops out of a fearful mass of moles, becoming normative mole rat behavior. One day we will understand how these fearful, normative moles inadvertently MURDER their fellow mole simply through their ignorance and their evil, sinful desires for power and dominance over their world, their fellow mole rat. (Is it a form of subconscious sociopathy? With hidden sociopaths leading the charge?)

They turn love into hate, declaring their moral mole rat codes as ethical, in order to profit and/or maintain their sense of safety, their illogical, SELFISH mole rat world order, to save their own asses and the asses of their mole rat children from mole rat hell. Sell. Fish. Mote. Eee. Vations.

It's a simple process of societal entropy within the mole rat community. An 'us versus them' mentality that just sits hidden between the conscious and subconscious mole rat mind. It's fucking not going to be "THEM" because those mole rats don't practice the ritual of self sacrifice to maintain the mole rat average life expectancy.

TL;DR: MOLE RATS DIE KNOWINGLY AND UNKNOWINGLY IN THE NAMES OF THE SUN GODS. Mole rat God bless mole rat America.

>I think hurting others or self-hurting is always a sign of self-hate.

Not always. Always rarely applies in the field of psychology.

It could simply be sociopathy. You simply don't care.

(IIRC)
To use a ballpark definition : (ballpark because I'm far from an expert)
- A lack of empathy, due to physical reasons (eg. developmental brain issues), is psychopathy.
- A lack of empathy, due to social reasons (eg. learned as result of torture), is sociopathy.

When watching a video like this, it's worth keeping in mind that the person using the word 'psychopath' is most likely using it literally, and not as slang for insanity/craziness.

Yes, this. Conservatives seem to change their position on social issues as soon as it personally effects their lives and their families, and only then.

Not being able to feel anything unless it directly effects you is called - at best a lack of empathy - at worst - sociopathy.

You guys accusing libertarians of lack of empathy, and even sociopathy is typical intellectual short-sightedness. The libertarian considers further consequences to political actions that others usually ignore, they care about longer-term priorities. They can be easily accused of being less emotional for not caving in to perceived short-term benefits, but I assure you they're as human and caring as proponents of any other political philosophy. Please stop hating.

That being said, as a libertarian, I think workers should unionize if they want, they should be fired if Walmart doesn't want to hire unionized workers (contract permitting), let them figure this out. Letting anyone use force, be it the union, government laws, or a criminal cartel to set working conditions is a recipe for disaster down the road.

retaliate by not working at Walmart, quit smoking, quit drinking, eat better, AND get an education. If the place you are living at cannot provide you with the jobs you need to succeed then move. Nothing hurts a business more than money leaving the economy.

And that's a quick two points to MrMark4000 on the sociopathy test...


You say toe-may-toe, I say toe-mah-toe. Libertarian or sociopathy...any test for either would have to have a strong check for a lack of empathy.

Basically, sociopathy has invaded the eye of the beholder, in which beauty lays.

They™ are such great models to emulate, or what I mean is meant for us to become like--and this sociopathic path is so nicely bi-partisan and such androgyny for any religion within their™ great scope to make sure eventually, under martial law, we will all be one! I wonder if we can eventually trademark our sanity, psyche, and psychology and neatly put it in a vacuum sealed metal container, which we can slide over the cliff of which is the sea of consumer entertainment marketing...? I'll™ love it when I™ can do that!

I know this is a little too much akin to "1984" or like an over-ripe conspiracy theory. The truth is actually much uglier and far more scary!


/fucking companies; they are fucked up
//fucking bought politicians by said fucking companies are fucked up
///thus, your movie, magazine, and music -- currently -- are fucked up

To be fair, it's dolls. Not actual foetuses. That's a lot less creepy than this video's title and description made me think. It's still incredibly creepy.

I'd say this is a text book example of sociopathy. Beliefs and religion aside, Trick-Or-Treating is not the time or place to attempt to teach lessons, even if the lessons hadn't been done in such a ham-fisted manner.

I'd say she has narcissistic personality disorder. If you read up on Ayn's life, she meets every single criteria. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001930/>> ^enoch:
ayn rand=sociopath



i can agree with that.
total lack of empathy,a sense of inflated importance.
many of the criteria on that list are also under sociopathy but your suggestion seems a bit more succinct.
@Fade
i dont understand what you think i am wrong on or where we may disagree.maybe you agree with her stance on palestine and if that is the case then i submit that coming to that conclusion ignores 100 yrs of occupation,deception,murder,assasination,oppression and a litany of human rights violations and war crimes perpetrated by the state of isreal.
my comment of ayn rand=sociopath is my way of stating publicly my feelings on this woman and that i regard anything she espouses in that context.
her understanding and philosophy is like that of a child and i view anything she opines about with that in mind.
it is also why i am at a loss why so many give her authority....about anything.

ugh,,,
while i admire and even agree with many libertarian points i cannot fathom their admiration of ayn rand.
her mentally stunted and intellectually vapid philosophy is more akin to sociopathy than anything that even remotely resembles true human nature.
and dont get me started on her writings.
excrement has a better appeal.

and is luskin un-aware of the term "plutocracy"?
maybe he should lay off the rand books.they seem to be dumbing him down.

And to think Osama Bin Laden was in his bunker just a few months ago, re-watching this kind of footage over and over, proud of what he had accomplished. Sociopathy taken to its extreme.

Game theory is just sociopathy codified. It takes extremely constructed conditions, like game shows and corporate governance, to actually make it not plainly stupid.

It shows how contrived this is that this game matrix is easily exploited.

One player can say that they are voting steal, and that they will split the winnings, so the the other player better pick share if they want anything.

Their only decision becomes weather they want to screw their opponent more than they trust them.
