We have been led to believe that any regular person could suddenly become insane and start shooting up schools for no reason, maybe even the guy next door. Yet we cannot imagine that persons who are essentially removed from human society by their vast wealth could very well be psychopaths with plenty of reasons to get together to murder and maim - more money, power, and fame. I'm looking forward to your posts on this book. Thank you for doing it!

Political Ponerology - An Incendiary Device - part 1
It has been preying on my mind for two years - I hope it will be good - won't be daily, but as soon as I hit on an explosive paragraph! There are many, from memory. Is a long and very dense book, so have no idea how many posts it will take.
Will be patiently waiting for it too
As many posts as needed; especially if you get a positive reaction from your followers. It is an important and timely issue.
No, those are NOT the actions of psychos - psychos are not insane.
I think I shall start to use the term human-predators, as it is far more accurate description of the mind disorder.
Yes, another term is needed because words like psycho and psychopath have been bastardized, and redefined to redirect attention away from those who do not want their masks to be unveiled.
It's an insights from laura's preface. Is some years since I read the whole book that I'd kinda forgotten that preface.
There is also a clear obfuscation between psychopath and sociopath.
I want people to move away from the Hannibal Lecter and American Psycho movies!
Going back to your theories of cycles, they can now be looked at just like predator-prey equations ;-) Those equations are cyclic, but also have feedbacks, so cycles need not always have precisely the same periods. ;-)
I did not know about the preface, but over the years, she and her crew have brought it up very often. Now I know why, because they were the ones who resurrected the tome. I had begun to watch a very old interview they did with Lobaczewski, but I cut it short because his English was really bad, and I do not have the patience to hear new concept, that I am not that familiar with, expressed in bad English.
Yes, I have heard of the distinction. The psychopath is more of a human-predator on the individual level, whereas the sociopath we can say is a humanity-predator.
Again, I believe these Hollywood interpretations are intentional, so as to confuse the public with regards to what psychopathy really involves!
In fact, the generational theory is not rigid when it comes to timelines. I have been thinking about that interview I saw, and am thinking that perhaps what Lobaczewski observed in his research may be that the 200 year waves he noticed throughout history may be as a result of a double saeculum in which the Crisis Season of the second dip brings us into a Pathocracy. It's just a theory for the moment.
Like I said, the predator-prey equations might work really well here.

All that was needed, was to reinterpret master-slave relations into predator-prey! ;-)
I also think a third sub-species is needed - the observers - those who do not play the game, and nobody listens to until is too late, but are often the source of the next cycle.
There are such 3-way equations used in game theory - of which predator-prey models are just one branch - and I've read papers of them being used to simulate bubbles. The interesting part is that the sane minority cannot stop the mass delusion - be it mass psychosis or mass greed - unless they form quite a high percentage of the population - would have to look up the numbers, but from memory, was something like 15-20%.
The more I look into this, the more I see that the Natural Life Energy model is really needed to add more clarity to these issues. I don't know if the book Who Are You Really? can be found online. It's out of print. 🥺
What are the 7 categories or types? I've only heard you mention 4 maybe 5.
You mean this book?
