Anna lays out her theory that society has shifted from Christopher Lasch's 'culture of narcissism' to a culture of BPD, and argues Trump and AOC are structurally identical narcissist-populist figures.
- Tim advises people feeling demoralized to self-adjust and ignore narcissists rather than engaging with them, starving them of attention.
- Rachel Dolezal identifying as Black represents a zero-sum competition for opportunities in a scarcity-driven society.
- Tim studied game theory in college, which he describes as a particularly shitty and fake subset of economics.
- The prisoner's dilemma keeps everyone locked in a sub-optimal outcome; the alternative is mutually acknowledging emotional terrorism.
- A woman named Ida Tava Coley spent eight months following stimulus checks instead of working, becoming educated about laws and the Ways and Means Committee.
- Tim tweeted that AOC reminds him of Trump—they have similar characteristics, both adept at social media and centering themselves in narratives.
- People with these traits will make their husband's cancer about themselves, or their child's DWI about themselves—they effortlessly center themselves without trying.
- Tim's working theory: society has shifted from Lasch's culture of narcissism to a culture of BPD, which he describes as female narcissism or inverse narcissism.
