Going to apply a theme of Leftist propaganda and interpretation to this thread for future posts. But first, I'll address some of your comments, inline, below. As usual, your post formatting has been changed to facilitate response: QUOTE="Tuxan, post: 6065301, member: 546951"]So magical thinking leaning to One thing I appreciate about you is how much I've learned. Perhaps there is hope for the educated after all! Question is, who am I mainly referring to as educated?! schizotypal traits plus Looked it up, from wikipedia.org: Schizotypal personality disorder (SPD) is a cluster A personality disorder.[4][5] The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) describes the disorder specifically as a personality disorder characterized by thought disorder, paranoia, a characteristic form of social anxiety, derealization, transient psychosis, and unconventional beliefs. Some, but not all elements apply to me. apophnia and Also wikipedia.org: is the tendency to perceive meaningful connections between unrelated things.[1] The term (German: Apophänie from the Greek verb ἀποφαίνειν (apophaínein)) was coined by psychiatrist Klaus Conrad in his 1958 publication on the beginning stages of schizophrenia.[2] He defined it as "unmotivated seeing of connections [accompanied by] a specific feeling of abnormal meaningfulness".[3][4] Does not apply to me. I see reality fine and my observations have long had reliable predictive value. Further, I can easily increase my credibility by providing verifiable facts. Do you want me to increase my credibility at the recent subject at hand? Hmmm? Additionally, when observations are applied to systems, I often can reverse engineer other elements even before confirming information is obtained. Such abilities are useful when conducting investigations, such as the recent successful assassination of a POS in New York. What I do with my perceptions of reality can be questioned at times, however. Perhaps I'm meant to be an FBI informant instead of a truck driver! narcissistic coping mechanisms? The usual? You tell me. Yeah probably not that rare at Toastmasters. You probably lose credibility by unfairly characterizing members of organizations that help people improve themselves in a productive way. Interesting you didn't / don't see this. No luck with the curtains, oh well, I'm sure they will move soon. Jacksonville is often a delay point.[/QUOTE Jacksonville, FL? Did I miss one? How about St. Augustine, FL? There is also the Louisiana thing. That was a fun one. Deserves it's own thread. Filed my first FBI report on the extortion attempt, which as written using my writing style on ET, claiming use of Pegasus, a Israeli designed software program that goes for $500,000 or so. A misdirection or two in the email were attempted. Also showed the extortion attempt to three women and three men. One of the women, a security guard with an IQ probably around 85, thought the person who wrote the extortion email knew me. Any ideas which poster that could have been, if it was indeed someone on ET?
My eldest brother did Toastmasters, he is autistic as anything, high level gifted but absolutely the last person anybody would dream of discussing a personal problem with. So you are saying you have extreme paranoid persecution thoughts but you are quite normal really. Come on, beautiful stranger, beautiful mind, Nash's paranoia and self-recognition was some part of choosing that nic.
I was looking for a less negative sounding nick than MaximumPossibleSuffering (MPS). BeautifulStranger was based on Madonna's "Beautiful Stranger" video, featuring Austin Powers. Yes, there is a beautiful mind input in there as well, I'll admit. Think of the psychology behind me choosing MPS as a nick. Yes, not pretty. I'll tell you my driving motive for posting in social media: I have a severe case of achievement insecurity. My coping mechanism is taking on an authoritative tone in subjects of interest. To my credit, I will often research a subject or at least confirm the accuracy of an apparent fact before posting. I tend to highlight my opinion or analysis with weasel words such "It seems" and the like. Now back to you, my psychologist / patient frenemy! You may be naughty, but a necessary naughty! It seems(!).
Yeah, aka narcissistic coping where an extremely shallow grasp of a topic makes a person think they are out the other side into impostor syndrome. Remember though:

Criminal minds? Or merely a sign of insanity? Do you the same thing that led to failure, only try harder with more of it? Personally, I can live with the extinction of the Radical, Far Left. No tears to be shed. Please help me remember, what was the Radical Left's value-add again?
Now now, you know that Ipatent is a mentally ill pensioner. Not fun mentally ill like us, he has the bad kind. If you encourage him he will post even more Zerohedge and see what happened to Scataphagos? His head went septic and he got hairy hands, that's a stage 6 condition. Scatty tried too late to stop watching Infowars by drinking brake fluid, but that only jumped him up to stage 4.
