Therapyspeak is a weaponized toolkit for typically BPD/sociopaths/narcissists to manipulate the situation into them always being right, and the only person whose thoughts and feelings and intentions matter.
It is extremely unforunate that this is the case… but it is the case.
Here’s a maybe relatable shit test:
Are you having conversations with a person that resemble diatribes/debates from SexPestiny or Thor/PirateSoftware?
They conceed a point, and then immediately minimize it, flip to another rheotrical/emotional attack angle where they are the victim or you are the perpetrator, never actually allowing anything approaching a consensus as to the actual facts of the matter, all stated together?
Yep, that’s a sociopathic narcissist that put a bunch of skill points into therapyspeak/debate rhetoric.
They’re grandiose, and slippery; they’ll do anything to avoid someone else being able to nail down the actual factual foundations of their argument or perspective.
They do this because they must maintain narrative control/framing, everything is a battle of image and reputation, not the actual things that those originate from… thats both their strategy and just part of how their brains work.
They’re essentially incapable of realizing or fully processing that they’ve made a substantial error, and they’re also basically just not capable of separating ‘how they felt about something’ from ‘something’; at best this is enormously difficult for them, as they have very poor ability to regulate their emotions.
Yeah, its all an incenstuous club of a class of C Suite people that know all the people on the boards of the regulatory committees, the astroturfed ‘consumer rights’ groups, the industry advocate groups, etc.
They like to play musical chairs, hop around from seat to seat on different boards.
But uh yeah, corruption is the name of the game with regulatory capture, so, any kind of proposal to have an actually transparent, legit, accountable bidding process will of course be decried by basically everyone connected to it.
Remember when software companies used to like, train people, bring them up to speed, kinda like an apprenticeship, develop them as an asset, and then have a stable team?
Yeah, that… worked better.
But then managent essentially was insulted by the existence of people who knew more about how their own companies actually worked than they did, so they turned them all into contractors, and chaos has reigned ever since!
