Pathology of Lies – Craig Childress PsyD

This is a pathology of lies.

How may times have I said that? Everything – everything – about this pathology is a lie.

Because of that, parents in your position are always trying to prove reality to people, because this pathology lies.

It lies all the time. Not some of the time… ALL the time. Really. All the time. It’s a symptom feature – all – the – time.

How do I know the pathogen is lying? Its lips are moving.

This pathology lies all the time. It’s a blend of persecutory delusion and the Machiavellian manipulation of a Dark personality.

Keep that in mind as we go forward in the world around us. This symptom feature of the pathology will be on full display. This pathology is a pathology of lies – it lies all the time.

All of it. Everything about this pathology is a lie.

You know that’s true. You just didn’t realize it was ALL the time, until you think about it… and yeah, this pathology lies all the time. Everything – everything – about this pathology is a lie.

The first thing to do with diagnosing a delusional disorder is to establish where truth is. We can’t diagnose a false belief unless we know where truth is. First, establish where truth is.

When allegations are this extreme and divergent… only ONE reality is true. Which one? Whichever one is true, the other one is false.

When allegations are this extreme and divergent, one reality is true, one is delusional. We cannot diagnose a delusional pathology without first establishing where truth is.

When serious allegations are made – it will be a serious outcome one way or the other. Either the allegation is true, which has serious implications, or the allegation is false, which has serious implications.

When allegations are this extreme and divergent, only one reality is true and the other is… psychotic… the other is delusional… the other is out of touch with actual reality.

Differences this extreme are not mere differences of opinion. There are two entirely different reality proposals. One is true. One is a lie.

Which one is true, which one is a lie?

This is a pathology of lies. It lies all the time. Not some of the time, ALL the time.

Cost of Living

Eddie Myles Jr. Observed:

“Which means food insecurity is higher than we have the ability to track in a study. Most people would consider a $400 rent increase catastrophic to their budget.

So 11k in under 2 years is an increase few families can simply absorb. So they’re going without. Now some of that is convenience foods (pre chopped vegetables, microwaveable meals, desserts etc) but not all of it.

That means families are cutting out whole food products and replacing them with sugar and salt ridden processed versions that are cheaper. So that $11k more the grocery store and its supply chain are dividing up amongst themselves has the additional burden of likely hundreds of thousands of dollars in emergency room and medication costs this families will eventually incur and not be able to pay for and wind up showing up in taxes.

So for all the “you gotta work harder.” Or the “work smarter” crowd. In the interests of your own American “bootstrap” rugged individualist lie you may want to see this as a you problem even if you can absorb that $11k.”
