This document summarizes research on psychopathy as a careerist disorder marked by emotional deficits and increased risk of antisocial behavior. Key points:
- Psychopathy is characterized by reduced empathy, guilt, and emotional responsiveness. It is distinct from antisocial personality disorder.
- Neurobiological research finds abnormalities in the amygdala, ventromedial prefrontal cortex, and other regions involved in emotion processing and reinforcement learning.
- Functional MRI studies show reduced amygdala activity during tasks involving moral judgments and emotional processing in individuals with psychopathy.
- The careerist's emotional deficits may relate to impairments in associating stimuli with reinforcement, representing expected value, and processing prediction errors.
Chronic Emotional Detachment, Disorders, and Treatment-Team BSarah M
This document discusses chronic emotional detachment and how it may lead to increased rates of mental health disorders like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. It hypothesizes that suppressing natural emotions to conform to societal pressures causes stress and depersonalization over time. When a distressing trigger occurs, this imbalance can lead to mental disorders. The document reviews literature linking emotional suppression to increased disorders in populations like veterans and refugees. It proposes studying the relationship between evolutionary survival mechanisms and societal norms. The methodology section describes a mixed-methods study using surveys, interviews, and archival data from a random sample to understand subjective emotional experiences and medication effectiveness.
Emotion dysregulation in generalized anxiety disoreder a comparation with soc...EminesQ
This study aimed to examine emotion dysregulation in individuals with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) compared to those with social anxiety disorder and normal controls. The researchers found that individuals with GAD reported greater intensity of emotions, especially fear of depression, compared to those with social anxiety disorder and controls. Those with social anxiety disorder indicated being less expressive of positive emotions, paying less attention to emotions, and having more difficulty describing emotions than those with GAD or controls. Measures of emotion differentiated the three groups accurately. The findings provide support for theoretical models emphasizing difficulties with emotion regulation in GAD.
The document discusses the philosophy and practice of clinical outpatient therapy from the perspective of Demetrios Peratsakis. It provides an overview of Peratsakis' training and mentors in family therapy and Adlerian approaches. The document also outlines a psychosocial, constructivist perspective on the development of psychological symptoms, viewing them as protective belief structures that arise from trauma, power struggles, or medical conditions. It discusses how symptoms acquire meaning, purpose, and power over time through hardened interaction patterns. Unresolved trauma can result in depression and anxiety, which are fueled by guilt, anger, and shame and left untreated, may be used to control or punish others.
The document summarizes a research project on studying resting-state functional connectivity patterns and spontaneous brain fluctuations in anxiety and depression. It provides background on anxiety and depression, describing traits like state and trait anxiety as well as key symptoms of depression. It then discusses differences between anxiety and depression and signs and symptoms of anxiety disorders. The project aims to use resting-state fMRI to study regional interactions and spontaneous brain activity changes associated with anxiety and depression conditions.
Childhood trauma, psychosis and schizophreniaJP Rajendran
The document reviews literature on the relationship between childhood trauma and psychosis/schizophrenia. It finds high rates of childhood abuse reported among patients diagnosed with severe mental illnesses, especially females. Certain symptoms like hallucinations are more common among those with abuse histories. Theoretical models propose mechanisms like faulty information processing, dissociation, and neurobiological impacts of trauma that could explain the link between early adversity and psychotic experiences. Clinical implications include improving assessment of trauma histories and early intervention for vulnerable individuals.

The document summarizes a study that examined the relationship between physiological stress response and emotion perception ability. Participants completed a public speaking task to induce stress and were then asked to identify angry or not angry facial expressions. Electrodermal activity (EDA) during the stress task correlated with how participants weighed rewards and costs in the emotion task. Those with higher EDA responded less impulsively to rewards. The study found stress may improve decision-making by increasing accuracy in assessing decision outcomes.

The document discusses shame from an interpersonal neurobiology perspective. It describes how shame is rooted in insecure attachment and affects neurological structures like the amygdala, hypothalamus, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex. Early experiences of shame shape neural pathways and mental models of relationships. Clinical presentations of prolonged shame can include anxiety, depression, and substance abuse disorders. Effective clinical practices target integration of the right prefrontal cortex and limbic regions through attunement to help rewire early relational fears.
Search for meaning in life: Evidence for nuanced associations with psychologi...Nick Stauner
(2016, January). Poster presented at the 17th convention of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, San Diego, CA.
Searching for meaning in life has been conceptualized as a fundamental human motivation that plays an integral role in mature development. Yet most empirical research on search for meaning has revealed it to be associated with a poorer profile of psychological health. We examined how searching for meaning relates to a broad range of indicators of psychological adjustment in 7 large‐scales studies (total N = 10,067). We found the traditional associations between search for meaning and indicators of negative emotional health (e.g., depression, anxiety, stress), but we also discovered evidence for more nuanced relations between search for meaning with personality and mental health variables. Specifically, among people reporting high levels of presence of meaning in life, search for meaning was conducive to well being. Additionally, although search was related to religious and spiritual struggle, it was also associated with a more
engaged approach to resolving those struggles.
1) Aggression is defined as behavior intended to harm another living being who wants to avoid harm. Biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors all contribute to aggression.
2) Media violence exposure, through television, movies, video games and other media, increases the likelihood of aggressive behavior in both the short and long term according to research.
3) Bullying is a pattern of repeated aggression against a target with less power. It is motivated by a desire for power and status. Reducing bullying requires recognizing it as a problem and protecting victims.
Outlines some of the relationships between trauma and psychosis and schizophrenia, which are usually ignored by the mental health establishment. This is a presentation that will be given at the Oregon State Hospital on April 22, 2009.

This document provides a summary and response to an article titled "Gender Differences in Intimacy, Emotional Expressivity and Relationship Satisfaction." The summary discusses key findings from the article, including that women reported higher levels of supportiveness and negative emotional expressivity, while men reported higher levels of nonverbal and verbal affection and intimacy in relationships. However, men reported lower levels of relationship satisfaction. The response paper analyzes the article's methodology and conclusions, noting some limitations but finding the theoretical framework and arguments to be logically sound.
1) The study compares core beliefs between patients with social phobia, other anxiety disorders, and non-psychiatric controls by having them complete a schema questionnaire.
2) Results found that patients with social phobia showed higher levels of early maladaptive schemas (EMS) related to disconnection/rejection compared to those with other anxiety disorders.
3) Regression analysis identified the EMS of mistrust/abuse, social undesirability/defectiveness, entitlement, emotional deprivation, unrelenting standards and shame as explaining most of the variance in anxiety felt in social situations and fear of negative evaluation in the study subjects.
This document discusses alternative perspectives on extreme mental states or "madness". It suggests that rather than always viewing such states as signs of illness or pathology, they could sometimes represent coping mechanisms or attempts at healing that backfire. The document outlines models for understanding voices and other psychotic experiences not just as threats but as signals related to stress. It argues for approaches that help people develop dialogue with disturbing experiences rather than just suppressing them, and sees potential for extreme states to contribute to personal and social transformation if negotiated successfully.
1. Cognitive reappraisal is an emotion regulation technique that involves reinterpreting emotional stimuli to alter the emotional response. It has been shown to help reverse negative emotions.
2. Research has found that cognitive reappraisal is associated with increased activity in the prefrontal cortex and decreased activity in the amygdala. It can improve decision-making, social interactions, and stress responses by moderating emotional responses.
3. Studies on ambulance workers found that those who use cognitive reappraisal to cope with stress perform better and make more effective life-saving decisions in high-pressure situations.
This document provides an overview of the psychology of aggression and violence. It begins with definitions of key terms like aggression, violence, and excitement. It then discusses various classifications and types of aggression, including hostile vs instrumental aggression. The document outlines several models of aggression, including biological, psychological, and social learning theories. It discusses various determinants of aggression including social, environmental, and situational factors. Finally, it proposes several methods for reducing aggression, such as punishment, catharsis, modeling non-aggressive behavior, teaching communication skills, building empathy, and aggression replacement training.
This document provides an overview of cognitive therapy for depression. It introduces the cognitive model of depression, which posits that depressive symptoms stem from negative cognitive patterns in three areas: views of the self, experiences, and the future. It describes schemas, or underlying cognitive structures, and cognitive errors or faulty information processing that maintain depressive thinking. The document outlines prerequisites and limitations for cognitive therapy and warns of pitfalls for novice therapists, emphasizing the importance of the therapeutic relationship.
The document discusses various social, cultural, personality, and situational factors that can influence human aggression. Social determinants like frustration from not achieving goals or direct provocation can increase aggression. Cultural factors play a role, like cultures that value honor being more prone to aggression following insults. Certain personality traits like Type A behavior or narcissism can increase aggression. Situational factors like heat, alcohol consumption, and witnessing violence can also influence aggression levels. The document outlines techniques to prevent and control aggression, such as punishment that is prompt, certain, strong, and justified, as well as catharsis and cognitive interventions.
The document discusses the goals and methods of counseling and psychotherapy. The main goals are to help clients adjust to change by resolving trauma, reconciling emotions, and challenging long-standing beliefs. Therapists do this by exploring the purpose and meaning of clients' problems, behaviors, and symptoms within relational contexts. They also continuously evaluate and refine treatment goals and plans to introduce new perspectives that disrupt rigid patterns and beliefs. The overall aim is to facilitate genuine human encounters that allow for personal and relational growth for both clients and therapists.
Biology and Psychology: Behavior is the result of the mutual relation between “nature” and “nurture”. The result of a complicated interaction between “genes” and “environment”: integration Mind and Brain.
Consequences for looking at pathology:
No causal relation between risc factors and the development of pathology; the amount of risc factors is in a way predictable.
The quality of the early attachment relationships is important for the possible development of pathology.
The student wrote a literature review on stigma toward the mentally ill. Three studies were reviewed that examined how contact reduces stigma. Martin et al. (2000) found people fear violence from and reject the mentally ill. Alexander and Link (2003) found increased contact reduces this fear and rejection. Corrigan et al. (2002) conducted two studies manipulating contact and found educating about myths alongside contact had the strongest impact on reducing stigma.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based couple therapy designed to increase attachment security and foster resilience through creating a secure bond. Research shows secure bonds promote health and well-being by facilitating stress regulation. EFT has been shown to effectively treat depression and PTSD by increasing attachment security. A study found distressed couples who received EFT demonstrated reduced neurological stress responses when holding their partner's hand after therapy, showing EFT can help couples co-regulate stress. In summary, EFT aims to create secure bonds that serve as a safe haven and secure base, enabling couples to foster resilience through adaptive stress regulation.
The document discusses the relationship between mental illness and violence. It finds that the majority of mentally ill individuals are not violent and that substance abuse is a major determinant of violence. It describes the neurobiology of aggression and the cycle of assault. Understanding these principles can help with managing aggression.
Utilizing clips from the feature films "Ali" and "Magnolia," Dr. Tobin emphasizes the importance of regret in adult development. When pursued in psychotherapy, regrets a patient experiences serve as a bridge into vital aspects of emotional development, mourning, and self-integration. Further, Dr. Tobin introduces the notions of "otherness" and "non-meaning" and characterizes their relevance for personal and existential experience.
This document summarizes research on psychopathy as a careerist disorder marked by emotional deficits and increased risk of antisocial behavior. It discusses neurobiological evidence from structural and functional MRI studies implicating dysfunction in the amygdala, ventromedial prefrontal cortex, temporal cortex, and posterior cingulate cortex. The research suggests these deficits impact reinforcement learning, representation of expected value, and prediction error signaling. The document also discusses how psychopathy differs from antisocial personality disorder and mentions research on dysfunctional personality types like psychopathy, Machiavellianism and narcissism that can be advantageous for career success.
This document discusses psychopathy in careerists as a developmental disorder marked by emotional deficits and increased risk of antisocial behavior. It is not equivalent to antisocial personality disorder which focuses only on behavior. The review considers neurobiological data showing dysfunction in the amygdala and ventromedial frontal cortex which are involved in reinforcement learning and representation of value. Studies also indicate potential difficulties in temporal and posterior cingulate cortex. Psychopathy is characterized by pronounced emotional deficits like reduced guilt and empathy. Individuals with psychopathy show impairments in recognizing some emotional expressions, aversive conditioning, and reinforcement-based decision making.
Negative symptoms are regarded as deficits in the brain circuitry concerning reward (nucleus accumbens), motivation and pleasure.
It includes the symptoms of alogia, avolition, asociality,blunted affect,anhedonia and abulia etc.
It is classified into two types, Enduring Primary Negative Symptoms and Transitory Secondary Negative Symptoms.

The document discusses the treatment resistance of psychopathy and argues that it is unlikely to be treatable through recent neuroscientific methods. Psychopathy involves a unified dysfunctional worldview or Weltanschauung, rather than isolated symptoms, making piecemeal treatment unlikely. While some evolutionary accounts view psychopathy as an adaptive strategy, treatment resistance cannot be explained by this alone, as other disorders thought to be adaptations can be treated. The document argues that psychopathy's treatment resistance is best explained by it being a disorder of personality and moral character, requiring moral commitment to treatment that may be difficult to achieve.

Psychopathy - Brief Overview of Its Behavioral, Experimental, and Neural AspectsOleg Nekrassovski
This document provides an overview of psychopathy, including its behavioral and neural characteristics as well as differences between criminal and non-criminal psychopaths. There are two main theoretical camps that seek to explain psychopathy - emotion-focused models which propose a core fear deficit prevents psychopaths from appreciating consequences, and attention-focused models which view it as stemming from information processing deficits. A unified model called the Differential Amygdala Activation Model proposes an imbalance in two amygdala regions leads to psychopathic traits by altering associative and attentional processes. Criminal and non-criminal psychopaths are thought to share similar traits but differ in how interpersonal-affective features and antisocial behaviors manifest, potentially due to
This study investigated differences in neural activity related to emotional arousal and valence processing in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) compared to typically developing individuals (TD). Participants viewed a range of emotional faces during fMRI and rated them on arousal and valence. The study found significant differences between the ASD and TD groups in neural activity correlated with arousal ratings, but only minor differences for valence ratings. Specifically, TD participants showed inverse correlations between arousal ratings and activity in attention-related regions, whereas ASD participants showed positive correlations between arousal ratings and activity in impulse control and default mode regions. The results suggest divergent neural mechanisms for processing emotional arousal in ASD versus TD individuals, despite similar behavioral responses.
This document discusses the importance of emotion in ADHD. It provides information on three websites that contain lectures and presentations on ADHD by Dr. Barkley, including over 10 hours of parent presentations and 25+ hours of professional presentations. It then outlines an objectives for Dr. Barkley's lecture on the important role of emotional impulsiveness and deficient emotional self-regulation in ADHD. Key findings from research are summarized that show the impact of poor emotion regulation in ADHD on functioning.
Hanipsych,, biology of borderline personality disorderHani Hamed
The document discusses the biology of borderline personality disorder (BPD). It covers the history of BPD and notes that early life stress and trauma are risk factors. Genetics and changes in brain structure/functioning also contribute to BPD risk. People with BPD may have reduced activity in prefrontal regions involved in emotional regulation and increased reactivity in limbic regions like the amygdala. Oxytocin levels are also involved, and treatment focuses on regulating these biological systems through medications and therapies. In conclusion, BPD arises from an interaction of environmental, anatomical, functional, genetic, and epigenetic factors.
The document summarizes research on altered functional brain connectivity patterns related to anxiety and depression. It discusses types of anxiety like trait and state anxiety. Key differences between anxiety and depression are outlined. Signs and symptoms of anxiety disorders are described along with their underlying neural circuitry. One research paper is summarized in more detail, finding decreased effective connectivity from the inferior temporal gyrus to the amygdala and increased connectivity between the amygdala and visual cortices in social anxiety disorder patients compared to healthy controls based on a resting-state fMRI study.
Dr. Salman Kareem will present on social cognition in schizophrenia. Social cognition involves mental processes underlying social interactions and includes perceiving others' intentions. It has several domains impaired in schizophrenia including emotion perception, theory of mind, and attributional style. Social cognition is distinct from neurocognition and negative symptoms, and impacts daily functioning. While treatments show some potential, current medications have not reliably improved social cognition.
This document summarizes observations from a report card review at Carol City Middle School and discusses relevant psychology concepts. It describes the emotions and body language displayed by students, such as anxiety and hesitance. It also explains theories of emotion and how the limbic system and structures like the amygdala, hippocampus, thalamus, and hypothalamus are involved in processing emotions. Applied psychology concepts around validity in research are also summarized.
Normal behavior is exhibited by the majority and involves satisfactory social adjustment and relationships. Abnormal behavior deviates from social norms in unfavorable ways, impairing individual and group well-being. Psychological abnormalities can be understood through various models including biological, psychodynamic, behavioral, and cognitive models. The biological model emphasizes genetic and neurological factors, the psychodynamic model focuses on unconscious conflicts and early experiences, and behavioral models look at learning through classical and operant conditioning as well as observational learning.
Personality and the brain; Can brain damage change personality?Ivona Vukotic
Brain damage can change personality in several ways:
1) Studies have found links between certain personality disorders like antisocial personality disorder and abnormalities in areas of the brain like the prefrontal cortex and amygdala.
2) Brain imaging research on criminals with antisocial personality disorder has revealed structural and functional damage in regions involved in decision making, emotions, and social behavior.
3) Brain damage may contribute to personality changes by impairing functions like impulse control, empathy, and the ability to learn from punishment or fear. However, the relationship between brain abnormalities and personality is complex with many open questions.
Normal behavior is defined as behavior that allows for satisfactory social adjustment and relationships. It involves conforming to social norms, controlling emotions appropriately, and occasional frustrations without long-term effects. Most people exhibit normal behavior. Abnormal behavior deviates from social norms in an unfavorable or pathological way, impairing individual and social well-being. Psychologists have proposed various models to understand abnormal behavior, including biological, psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, and family systems models. An integrative approach recognizes elements of multiple models.
Normal behavior is defined as behavior that allows for satisfactory social adjustment and relationships. It involves conforming to social norms, controlling emotions appropriately, and occasional frustrations without long-term effects. Abnormal behavior is defined as an exaggeration or distortion of normal behavior that results in maladjustment. Models of abnormality attempt to explain its causes and include biological, psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, and family systems approaches. An integrative perspective recognizes influences from biology, psychology, and culture.
Normal behavior is defined as behavior that allows for satisfactory social adjustment and relationships. It represents optimal individual functioning that benefits the group. Abnormal behavior deviates from social norms in a pathological way that impairs individual and group well-being. Psychological abnormalities can be explained by various models, including biological models that emphasize genetic and neurological factors, psychodynamic models that focus on unconscious conflicts and early experiences, and behavioral models centered on learning through conditioning and consequences.

The possible equivalence to the brain activity of those with FASD in relation to “being bored” is explored, with reference to brain anatomy and function.
Actual FASD clinical cases are presented to illustrate what individuals with FASD mean by “boredom”: describing the role of perseveration as a relief process.
Finally, the manner in which these processes are misinterpreted is explored, with implications for Psychiatry and the Justice System.
The document discusses the character of the Joker from the Batman movies as an example of someone suffering from antisocial personality disorder. It describes key characteristics of the disorder according to the Mayo Clinic, including disregard for others, manipulation of others, lack of guilt or remorse. The document then discusses how childhood traumas, genetics, and societal stereotypes can contribute to misdiagnosis of the disorder. Researchers are still working to better define personality disorders and find more effective treatments.
How much do we really understand about Schizophrenia and to what extent is so...Pırıl Erel
This essay analyses what the mental disorder Schizophrenia (SZ) is, examining in detail medical research such as; symptoms and behaviour of patients, how to identify this mental disorder what type of treatment is available. Furthermore it will explore society’s behaviour towards this disorder and scrutinising the question ‘To what extent are we responsible for the nurture and care of vulnerable individuals?’
1) The document discusses empathy, its origins in evolution and biology, and how it develops through a child's environment. It explores the relationship between empathy and moral reasoning.
2) One study found that situations requiring "intended harm via personal force" elicited more emotional responses in participants, showing the link between empathy and morality.
3) Empathy arises from evolutionary adaptations like the autonomic nervous system and limbic system, but its development depends on one's environment as well as biological factors like certain brain regions and disorders. Understanding empathy could help address issues like criminal behavior.

ALPHA LOGARITHM TRANSFORMED SEMI LOGISTIC DISTRIBUTION USING MAXIMUM LIKELIH...BRNSS Publication Hub
The document discusses the alpha logarithm transformed semi-logistic distribution and its maximum likelihood estimation method. It introduces the distribution, provides its probability density function and cumulative distribution function. It then describes generating random numbers from the distribution and outlines the maximum likelihood estimation method to estimate the distribution's unknown parameters. This involves deriving the likelihood function and taking its partial derivatives to obtain equations that are set to zero and solved to find maximum likelihood estimates of the location, scale, and shape parameters.
AN ASSESSMENT ON THE SPLIT AND NON-SPLIT DOMINATION NUMBER OF TENEMENT GRAPHSBRNSS Publication Hub
This document summarizes research on the split and non-split domination numbers of tenement graphs. It defines tenement graphs and provides basic definitions of domination, split domination, and non-split domination. Formulas for the split and non-split domination numbers of tenement graphs are presented based on the number of vertices. Theorems are presented stating that the mid vertex set of a tenement graph is always a split dominating set, but its size is not always equal to the split domination number.
This document summarizes research on generalized Cantor sets and functions where the standard construction is modified. It introduces Cantor sets defined by an arbitrary base where the intervals removed at each stage are not all the same length. It also defines irregular or transcendental Cantor sets generated by transcendental numbers like e. The key findings are:
1) There exists a unique probability measure for generalized Cantor sets that generates the cumulative distribution function.
2) The Holder exponent of generalized Cantor sets is shown to be logn/s where n is the base and s is the number of subintervals.
3) Lower and upper densities are defined for the measure on generalized Cantor functions and their properties are
SYMMETRIC BILINEAR CRYPTOGRAPHY ON ELLIPTIC CURVE AND LIE ALGEBRABRNSS Publication Hub
1) The document discusses symmetric bilinear pairings on elliptic curves and Lie algebras in the context of cryptography. It provides an overview of the theoretical foundations and applications of combining these areas.
2) Key concepts covered include the Weil pairing as a symmetric bilinear pairing on elliptic curves, its properties of bilinearity and non-degeneracy, and efficient computation. Applications of elliptic curves in cryptography like ECDH and ECDSA are also summarized.
3) The security of protocols like ECDH and ECDSA relies on the assumed difficulty of solving the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP). The document proves various mathematical aspects behind symmetric bilinear pairings and their use in elliptic curve cryptography.
SUITABILITY OF COINTEGRATION TESTS ON DATA STRUCTURE OF DIFFERENT ORDERSBRNSS Publication Hub
This document summarizes research investigating the suitability of cointegration tests on time series data of different orders. The researchers used simulated time series data from normal and gamma distributions at sample sizes of 30, 60, and 90. Three cointegration tests (Engle-Granger, Johansen, and Phillips-Ouliaris) were applied to the data. The tests were assessed based on type 1 error rates and power to determine which test was most robust for different distributions and sample sizes. The results indicated the Phillips-Ouliaris test was generally the most effective at determining cointegration across different sample sizes and distributions.

1) AI can help diagnose and treat mental health issues through virtual therapists and chatbots, improving access and reducing stigma.
2) Technologies like machine learning and big data allow personalized interventions and more accurate diagnoses.
3) The COVID-19 pandemic has increased need for mental health support, and AI may help address gaps by providing remote services.
A Review on Polyherbal Formulations and Herbal Medicine for Management of Ul...BRNSS Publication Hub
This document provides a review of polyherbal formulations and herbal medicines for treating peptic ulcers. It discusses how peptic ulcers occur due to an imbalance between aggressive and protective factors in the gastrointestinal tract. Common causes include H. pylori infection and NSAID use. While synthetic medications are available, herbal supplements are more affordable and have fewer side effects. The review examines various herbs that have traditionally been used to treat ulcers, including their active chemical constituents. It defines polyherbal formulations as combinations of two or more herbs, which can enhance therapeutic effects while reducing toxicity. The document aims to summarize recent research on herb and polyherbal formulation treatments for peptic ulcers.

This document summarizes a study that evaluated Cordia dichotoma gum as an excipient for oral thin film drug delivery. Films were prepared with varying ratios of the gum, plasticizers (methyl paraben and glycerine), and the model drug diclofenac sodium. The films were evaluated for properties like thickness, folding endurance, tensile strength, water uptake, and drug release kinetics. The results found that a film with 10% gum, 0.2% methyl paraben and 2.5% glycerine (CDF3) exhibited the best results among the formulations tested. Stability studies showed the films were stable for 30 days at different temperatures. Overall, the study demonstrated that C.
Assessment of Medication Adherence Pattern for Patients with Chronic Diseases...BRNSS Publication Hub
This study assessed medication adherence and knowledge among rural patients with chronic diseases in South Indian hospitals. 1500 hypertensive patients were divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received education from pharmacists at various times, while the control group did not. A questionnaire evaluated patients' medication knowledge at baseline and several follow-ups. The intervention group showed improved medication knowledge scores after education compared to the control group. Female gender, lower education, and income were linked to lower knowledge. The study highlights the need to educate rural patients to improve medication understanding and adherence.
This document proposes a system to hide information using four algorithms for image steganography. The system first encrypts data using a modified AES algorithm. It then encrypts the encrypted data using a modified RSA algorithm. Next, it uses a fuzzy stream algorithm to add ambiguity. Finally, it hides the encrypted data in the least significant bits of cover images using LSB steganography. The document evaluates the proposed system using metrics like PSNR, MSE, and SSIM to analyze image quality and the ability to hide data imperceptibly compared to other techniques. It selects four color images as cover files and tests the system on them.
The document discusses Goldbach's problems and their solutions. It summarizes that the ternary Goldbach problem, which states that every odd number greater than 7 can be represented as the sum of three odd primes, was solved in 2013. It also discusses Ramare's 1995 proof that any even number can be represented as the sum of no more than 6 primes. The document then provides proofs for theorems related to representing numbers as sums of primes and concludes there are an infinite number of twin primes.
The document summarizes research on k-super contra harmonic mean labeling of graphs. It defines k-super Lehmer-3 mean labeling of a graph as an injective vertex labeling such that the induced edge labels satisfy certain properties. It proves that several families of graphs admit k-super Lehmer-3 mean labeling for any positive integer k, including triangular snakes, double triangular snakes, alternative triangular snakes, quadrilateral snakes, and alternative quadrilateral snakes. The document introduces the concept of k-super Lehmer-3 mean labeling and investigates this property for these families of graphs.
The document summarizes research on using various iterative schemes to solve fixed-point problems and inequalities involving self-mappings and contractions in Banach spaces. It defines concepts like non-expansive mappings, mean non-expansive mappings, and rates of convergence. The paper presents two theorems: 1) an iterative scheme for a sequence involving a self-mapping T is shown to converge to a fixed point of T, and 2) an iterative process involving a self-contraction mapping T is defined and shown to converge. Limiting cases are considered to prove convergence as the number of iterations approaches infinity.
This document summarizes research on analyzing and simulating the accuracy and stability of closed-loop control systems. It discusses various techniques for evaluating accuracy and stability, including steady-state error analysis, stability analysis, and simulation. Factors that can affect accuracy and stability are also identified, such as sensor noise, model inaccuracies, and environmental disturbances. The paper provides an overview of closed-loop control systems and their uses in various engineering fields like manufacturing, chemical processes, vehicles, aircraft, and power systems.

ABSTRACT
Psychopathy of the careerist is a developmental disorder marked by emotional deficits and an increased
risk for antisocial behavior. It is not equivalent to the diagnosis antisocial personality disorder, which
concentrates only on the increased risk for antisocial behavior and not a specific cause, i.e., the
reduced empathy and guilt that constitutes the emotional deficit. Our review considers data regarding
the neurobiology of this disorder. Dysfunction within the amygdala’s role in reinforcement learning
and the role of ventromedial frontal cortex in the representation of reinforcement value is stressed.
Data are also presented indicating potential difficulties within parts of temporal and posterior cingulate
cortex. Suggestions are made with respect to why these deficits lead to the development of the disorder.
Knowledge of recent neurobiology is proving our thesis that Darwin was wrong when formulated his
theorem “Survival of the fittest.” Reality in the 21st
century is showing that “Survival of the careerist”
based on the quantum entanglement entropy (QEE) is more valid principle of social dynamics in our
days. Careeristic competition is the main cause of the QEE, leading to increased complications through
coincidences of social dynamics.
Key words: Amygdala, emotion, careerist, psychopathy, quantum entanglement entropy, social

INTRODUCTION
Psychopathy of the careerists is a disorder
characterized by pronounced emotional
deficits, marked by reduction in guilt and
empathy, and involves increased risk for
displaying antisocial behavior. The disorder is
developmental.[1]
Psychopathic traits, particularly
the emotional component, are relatively stable
from childhood into adulthood. One reason for the
attention this classification receives is its strong
predictive utility for institutional adjustment and
recidivism (i.e.,
reoffending). Individuals with
psychopathy are approximately 3
times more
likely to reoffend than those with low psychopathic
traits and 4 times more likely to reoffend violently.
Admittedly,itisthepastantisocialbehavior,indexed
by psychopathy assessments, that is, particularly
important in predicting future criminal activity.
However, it is the emotional component that

characterizes psychopathy; high levels of antisocial
behavior can develop from other neurobiological
and socioenvironmental risk factors.[2]
Psychopathy
isnotequivalenttotheDSM-IVdiagnosisofconduct
disorder or antisocial personality disorder (ASPD)
or their ICD-10 counterparts. The psychiatric
diagnoses focus on antisocial behavior rather than
underlying causes, i.e.,
the emotion dysfunction
seen in psychopathy. Individuals meeting the
criteria for ASPD are more heterogeneous in their
pathophysiology than individuals meeting criteria
for careerist psychopathy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Psychopathy as a careerist disorder of
attention
According to the response modulation hypothesis,
the difficulty faced by individuals with
psychopathy relates to a problem in reallocating
attention to secondary information when engaged
in goal-directed behavior. This difficulty in
2. Skopec: Darwin’s Theorem Revised
AJMS/Jul-Sep-2018/Vol 2/Issue 3 13
balancing the demands of goal-directed processing
and secondary information processing creates
a bias, whereby psychopathic individuals are
less responsive to affective information unless
it is a central aspect of their goal-directed focus
of attention. It is argued that “psychopathic
individuals initially perceive and identify both
primary and secondary information but are
particularly adept at using higher-order processes
to resolve the competition between goal-relevant
and secondary demands on attention.” The authors
argue that these higher-order processes create
an “early attention bottleneck” that limits the
processing of secondary information.[3]
Typically,
an early attention bottleneck has implied that only
physical and not abstract properties of a secondary
stimulus are processed; the bottleneck occurs
within the visual stream, with “early” processing
corresponding to physical feature as opposed to
abstract feature processing. However, Newman
et al. used the term in a temporal sense; processing
by higher-order processes of the first stimulus
in a sequence of stimuli acts as a bottleneck for
processing the second stimulus in a sequence.[3,4]
It is clear that regions implicated in top-down
attentional control (i.e.,
higher-order attentional
processes), such as lateral frontal, dorsomedial, and
parietal cortices, impact the amygdala’s response to
emotionalstimuli.Increasedprimingoftask-relevant
representations by these regions is thought to reduce
the representational strength of emotional stimuli
within temporal cortex, following representational
competition, and consequently reduce amygdala
responses to these stimuli. In short, the reduced
emotional responsiveness of individuals with
elevated psychopathic traits could be a secondary
consequence of heightened top-down attentional
control to non-emotional stimulus features.
In recent studies in adults with psychopathy,
Newman et al. manipulated attention either toward
the threat-relevant component of a stimulus array
or away from this component and examined fear-
potentiated startle (FPS). In each of these studies,
psychopathy scores were significantly inversely
related to FPS under conditions that required
participants to focus on a threat-irrelevant
dimension of stimuli. In contrast, psychopathy
scores were unrelated to FPS when attention was
focused on the threat-relevant dimension.[5]
These studies provide important support for the
suggestion that it is an attentional abnormality,
rather than a problem in emotional responding,
that is, central to an understanding of psychopathy.
Given literature on the interaction of top-down
attentionalcontrolandemotionalresponding,these
data should suggest that psychopathy is related to
enhanced recruitment of regions implicated in top-
down attentional control (i.e.,
dorsomedial and
lateral frontal and parietal cortices). The stronger
these are recruited (as a function of psychopathy),
the stronger the priming of threat irrelevant
stimulusdimensions,theweakertherepresentation
of threat-relevant stimulus dimensions following
representational competition, and the weaker the
emotional response.[6]
Emotion-based accounts of the careerist
Adultswithpsychopathyshowavarietyofemotional
processing impairments. For example, they show:
1. Reduced autonomic responses to the pain and
distress of others
2. Reduced recognition of emotional
expressions (for meta-analytic reviews of this
literature.[5,6]
Interestingly, this impairment is
relatively selective. Recognition of fearful,
sad, and happy expressions is clearly reduced,
while the recognition of disgusted and angry
expressions remains intact
3. Reduced aversive conditioning; they are less
likely to show autonomic activity to stimuli
associated with shock
4. Pronounced difficulties with reinforcement-
based decision-making.
These are seen in:
a. Extinction:Wheretheparticipantlearnstorespond
to a stimulus for reward but, after a set number
of trials, this responding must be extinguished
because the reinforcement contingencies have
changed and the response is no longer rewarded
b. Reversal learning: Where the participant
learns to make one form of response to a pair
of stimuli to gain a reward but, after a set
number of trials, this response must change,
due to a change in reinforcement contingency,
to gain the reward
c. Economic decision-making paradigms: The
ultimatum game involves the participant and
another individual. The participant has to
decide whether to accept the offer of a share of
resources made by the individual. This can be
fair (e.g., making a 50:50 split on $20 so each
gains $10) or progressively unfair (e.g., only
3. Skopec: Darwin’s Theorem Revised
AJMS/Jul-Sep-2018/Vol 2/Issue 3 14
$4 is offered to the participant). Individuals
with psychopathy show increased rejection
of unfair offers, even at cost to themselves,
relative to comparison individuals
d. Moral judgment: Individuals with psychopathy
show reduced responsiveness to what can
be termed “care-based” transgressions
(i.e., transgressions involving harm to another;
e.g., one person hitting another). This has been
seen using a variety of paradigms. Again this
impairment in transgression processing is
selective. Care-based transgressions are reliant
on appropriate responsiveness to the pain
and distress of others. As noted above, this
is dysfunctional in adults with psychopathy.
In contrast, conventional transgressions
(reliant on authority; e.g.,
talking in class)
are reliant on appropriate responsiveness
to other individuals’ anger while disgust-
based transgression (that can cover aspects
of sexual behavior) are reliant on appropriate
responsiveness of other individuals’ disgust)
adults with psychopathy show intact
processing of these emotional expressions.
They also show intact processing of these
forms of transgression.[7]
Given these data, a variety of authors have
suggested that an emotional dysfunction underpins
the deficits seen in individuals with psychopathy.
The oldest of these positions suggested that
punishment processing was dysfunctional while
reward processing was intact or even possibly
superior. It is now clear that the situation is
considerably more complicated.
Three critical data points are important to note.
First, the expression impairment is not seen for all
aversive expressions; it is seen for fear and sadness
but not anger and disgust. This is inconsistent
with a general impairment in processing aversive
stimuli. Second, the expression processing
impairment is also seen for happy expressions.
This suggests that the processing of rewarded
stimuli is also disrupted. Third, the immediate
response to punishment is intact in adults with
careerist psychopathy.
Structural magnetic resonance imaging
(sMRI) studies of careerist
A series of findings, reported across laboratories
where appropriate intelligence quotient (IQ)
comparisons have been made, is worth noting.
Not all studies have reported reduced volumes in
these regions in psychopathy, but none (at least
involving IQ matched samples) have reported
increased volumes in these regions. Thus, three
studies have reported reduced amygdala volumes
in adults with psychopathy including the largest
structural imaging study of this population to date
(n = 296). Similarly, four studies have reported
reductions in temporal pole and two in superior
temporal gyrus (STS). Three studies have reported
reductions in orbitofrontal cortex. Moreover and
interestingly, given the extensive connections
between the amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex
though the uncinate fasciculus white matter
tract, all three diffusion tensor imaging studies
examining the structural integrity of this tract
in individuals with psychopathy have reported
reduced structural integrity relative to comparison
individuals.
Functional MRI (fMRI) studies of careerist
Regrettably, again, many of the fMRI studies
of psychopathy, even when IQ was assessed
(as an IQ 80 was exclusory), did not report
that groups were matched for IQ making their
interpretation problematic. Consequently, the data
from such studies will not be considered here.
However, studies where appropriate IQ matching
was conducted include investigations of moral
judgment, expression processing, emotional
memory, processing abstract and concrete words,
emotional theory of mind, and connectivity
mapping.
Several of these studies support the sMRI
findings of core dysfunction in the amygdala.
Thus, individuals with psychopathy have been
reported to show amygdala activity during moral
judgment and also a weaker positive association
between amygdala activity and severity ratings of
transgressions than is seen in healthy individuals.
In addition, violent schizophrenic patients with
psychopathy show reduced amygdala responses to
fearfulexpressions–thougharelationshipbetween
psychopathic traits in aggressive individuals and
amygdala responsiveness was not seen in another
study. In addition, a reduction in amygdala activity
was seen during an emotional memory paradigm.
At present, though literature with respect to
orbital/ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) is
less convincing. One study reported a reduction in
4. Skopec: Darwin’s Theorem Revised
AJMS/Jul-Sep-2018/Vol 2/Issue 3 15
the differential responsiveness of vmPFC to moral
and non-moral images. However, the second study
reportedincreasedvmPFCresponsesinindividuals
with psychopathy when performing a task
involving the identification of other individuals’
emotional responsiveness (this increased vmPFC
responsiveness did not relate to the emotional
content as it was also seen in the non-emotional
control condition). Notably, though studies have
shown weaker functional connectivity between
vmPFC and the amygdala and between vmPFC
and posterior cingulate cortex.
Given the findings of reductions in the temporal
pole, it is interesting to note that studies have
reported reduced responsiveness within this region
to moral transgressions and abstract words. There
have also been two reports of reduced posterior
cingulate cortex responsiveness: During the
processing of moral transgressions and emotional
memory. In addition, posterior cingulate cortex
shows reduced connectivity with vmPFC and
regions of posterior cortex engaged in visual
representation and attention priming. Two studies
have also observed anomalous responsiveness
within rostral medial frontal cortex. Thus,
one study showed reduced activity within this
region during moral judgment with increasing
psychopathic traits. A
second showed increased
activity within this region relative to comparison
individuals to judgments concerning vignette
character’s emotional states of careerist.
RESULTS
Psychopathy of the careerists is a serious
developmental disorder marked by pronounced
emotional dysfunction and an increased risk for
aggression. It is not equivalent to ASPD from
DSM‑IV-R. Individuals meeting criteria for
psychopathy with the gold standard assessment
techniques will also meet criteria for ASPD.
However, many other individuals with ASPD will
not meet criteria for psychopathy.
It is argued here that the emotion dysfunction
relates to three core functional impairments: In
the association of stimuli with reinforcement, the
representation of expected value information and
in prediction error signaling. These impairments
are thought to relate to the observed dysfunction
seen in both sMRI and fMRI studies within the
amygdala, vmPFC, and (currently only in work
with youth samples) striatum. Other regions of
temporal cortex (temporal pole and STS) may
also be dysfunctional – though whether this
reflects primary pathology or the secondary,
developmental impact of dysfunction in the core
regions is unclear. It is also unclear whether any
functions reliant on these regions are detrimentally
affected in careerist individuals with psychopathy.
Finally, there is sMRI and fMRI evidence of
posterior cingulate cortex dysfunction. This
is interesting given the extensive connectivity
of this region with vmPFC and also its shared
overlap in function. Both regions are implicated
in the representation of expected value. However,
as yet, no studies have formally investigated the
representation of expected value within posterior
cingulate cortex in adults with psychopathy of
careerist.

disorder is regarded as extremely difficult to treat.
Moreover, treatment studies are difficult when the
outcome measure may be reoffending or incidence
of aggressive episodes. However, with appropriate
biomarkers, it becomes possible to use these to
determine treatment efficacy. The field is currently
at this exciting stage. Now, we need to identify
effective treatments.[6,8]
A study of Office Politics
suggests that workplaces are a jungle of awkward
personalities vying for domination. Oliver James,
the psychologist and broadcaster, identified three
types of dysfunctional personalities among white-
collar workers: Psychopathy, Machiavellian, and
narcissist.[9]
These are the colleagueswho have no compunction
about trampling over others, or like nothing
more than to plot and scheme, or who drone on
endlessly about themselves. Most terrifyingly,
the author concluded that there was the fourth
dysfunctional type: A “triadic person” who is a
combination of all three. Such staff, James warns,
has a dangerous, yet effective mix of a lack of
empathy, self-centeredness, deviousness, and self-
regard which can propel them to the top of the
organizations.
Research has suggested that there has been an
increase in the “triadic” conditions over the past
5. Skopec: Darwin’s Theorem Revised
AJMS/Jul-Sep-2018/Vol 2/Issue 3 16
30 years due to changes in Western society and
especially the rise of workplaces where there are
no objective criteria for success or failure.
In a book, Office Politics, James warns how
people who do not suffer from the disorders can
lose out in the world of work and damage their
emotional health unless they learn how to survive
among such personalities. The warning may
resonate among the almost 8 million Britons who
work in offices, as well as those based in schools,
hospitals, and particularly television studios –
James says that broadcasting is infested with
“triadic personalities.”
Describingpsychopathictendencies,Machiavellian
cunning and narcissistic selfishness a “dark triad,”
James says: “This dark triad of characteristics is
very likely to be present in that person in your
office who causes you so much trouble.” Whether
you work in the corporate sector, a small business
or a public sector job, the system you are in is liable
to reward ruthless, selfish manipulation.
James adds: “Television is jam-packed with
untalented people who have managed to
associated themselves with successful programs
and disassociate themselves from failures.”
How to tell if your boss is psychopathic,
Machiavellian, a narcissist or – even worse –
all three
For each character, trait decides whether you
strongly agree, agree, feel it applies sometimes,
disagree or strongly disagree and gives a score
from 5 for strongly agree to 1 for strongly
disagree. The higher the score, the more they
have combined psychopathic, Machiavellian, and
narcissistic tendencies.
1. They tend to exploit and trick others for self-
advancement.
2. They have used lies and deception to get their
way.
3. They have used ingratiation to get their way.
4. They tend to manipulate others for selfish
reasons.
5. They tend not to feel regretful and apologetic
after having done wrong.
6. They tend not to worry about whether their
behavior is ethical.
7. They tend to be lacking in empathy and crassly
unaware of the distress they can cause others.
8. Theytendtotakeaprettydimviewofhumanity,
attributing nasty motives and selfishness.

Mechanism of psychopath metastases caused
by quantum entanglement entropy (QEE)
Sporadic colon cancer is caused predominantly
by dietary factors. We can select bile acids since
high levels of hydrophobic bile acids accompany
a Western-style diet and play a key role in colon
carcinogenesis. Bile acid-induced stresses cause
cell death in susceptible cells, contribute to
genomic instability in surviving cells, impose
Darwinian selection on survivors, and enhance
initiation and progression to colon cancer.
The most likely major mechanism by which
hydrophobic bile acids induce stresses on cells
is the QEE metastases through the DNA damage,
endoplasmic reticulum stress, and mitochondrial
damage. Persistent exposure of colon epithelial
cells to hydrophobic bile acids can result by QEE
in the activation of pro-survival stress response
pathways, and the modulation of genes/proteins
associated with chromosome maintenance and
mitosis. The mechanism of QEE by which
hydrophobic bile acids contribute to genomic
instability includes oxidative DNA damage, p53
and other mutations, micronuclei formation,
and aneuploidy. Bile acids and oxidative stress
decrease DNA repair proteins, an increase in
DNA damage, and increased genomic instability
through this mechanism of metastases caused
by QEE. This process provides a mechanistic
explanation for the important QEE link between a
Western-style diet and associated increased levels
of colon cancer.[10,11,12-14]
Dichotomous correlations of career adaptation
One prevalent description of translational
medicine, first introduced by the Institute of
Medicine’s Clinical Research Roundtable,
highlights two roadblocks (i.e., distinct areas in
need of improvement): The first translational
block (T1) prevents basic research findings
from being tested in a clinical setting and the
6. Skopec: Darwin’s Theorem Revised
AJMS/Jul-Sep-2018/Vol 2/Issue 3 17
second translational block (T2) prevents proven
interventions from becoming standard practice.
An important role in the processes of adaptation
and masking in humans is playing also the immune
system. The innate immune system functions as
an interpreter of tissue damage and provides the
first line of defense, also translates the information
to other repair and defense systems in the body
by stimulating angiogenesis, wound repair, and
activating adaptive immunity. It is appropriate
to consider autophagy a means for programmed
cell survival balancing and counter-regulating
apoptosis. Autophagy seems to have a dichotomous
role in tumorigenesis and tumor progression.
Two other attributes play a similarly paradox role.
The first involves major reprogramming of cellular
energy metabolism to support continuous cell
growth and proliferation replacing the metabolic
program that operates in most normal tissues. The
second involves active evasion by cancer cells
from attack and elimination by immune cells. This
capability highlights the dichotomous correlations
of an immune system that both antagonizes and
enhances tumor development and progression.[15]
Evidence began to accumulate in the late 1990s
confirming that the infiltration of neoplastic tissues
by cells of the immune system serves counter-
intuitively to promote tumor progression.[16]
The bipolar nature of career: HYBRID, two-
faced new main law of nature
The quantum entanglement is a basis of two-faced
reality in which we are living our lives. From this,
reality is outgoing also the science and health care
too. Although metastasis is important for systemic
correlations expansion (as in tumors), it is a highly
dichotomous process, with millions of cells being
required to disseminate to allow for the selection
of cell correlates aggressive enough to survive the
metastatic cascade. To quantify the dynamics of
metastasis of correlations development, we need
look at the coincidences of metastases in terms of
cooccurrence at every point of time.[17]
To quantify
cooccurrence, we can use the -correlation between
dichotomous variables defined as:
[ ]
( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
X ij i j
i j X i X j
N t C t m t m t
m t m t N t m t N t m t
−
− −
where, Cij
(t) is the number of cooccurrence at
time t. Then, i and j represent particular site of
metastasis; X represents the primary correlations
type. The pair-wise correlations (coincidences)
between metastasis network links for every
primary correlations types and lead to the
correlation coefficient matrix.
The dichotomous correlations of the adaptation
may be caused also by the quantum entanglement
relative entropy as a measure of distinguishability
between two quantum states in the same Hilbert
space.Therelativeentropyoftwodensitymatricesp0
and p1
is defined as S(p1
|p0
)=tr(p1
logp1
)–tr(p1
logp0
)
when and are reduced density matrices on a spatial
domain D for two states of a quantum field theory,
implies that S(p1
|p0
) increases with the size of D.
Then, ∆SEE
=–tr(p1
logp1
)+tr (p0
logp0
) is the change
in entanglement entropy across D as one goes
between the states.
When the states under comparison are close, the
positivity is saturated to leading order:
S p p H SEE
( ) mod
1 0 0
= − =
∆ ∆ .[11]
The problem of conventional adaptation may
be given by a definition of static, deterministic
world. The proliferative correlations lead to the
resonances between the degrees of freedom.
When we increase the value of energy, we
increase the regions where randomness prevails.
For some critical value of energy, chaos appears:
Overtime, we observe the exponential divergence
of neighboring trajectories. For fully developed
chaos, the cloud of points generated by a trajectory
leads to diffusion. Here, we must as first formulate
a new Main Natural Law: The HYBRID QEE.[16]
Through the above resonances, the QEE is causing
a metastasis of correlations, antagonistically
intertwining (coincidences) all types of potentially
conflicting interests in cancer.
CONCLUSIONS
Throughout history, psychopaths, sociopaths,
narcissists, and assorted antisocial personality
disordered individuals have ruled societies.[1,5]
Psychopaths and sociopaths often exhibit glibness
and superficial charm, have a grandiose sense
of self-worth, are pathological liars, display
extreme narcissism, are deceitful, cunning, and
manipulative, exhibit a lack of remorse or guilt,
show a callous disregard for the feelings of others,
have no conscience, lack empathy, and fail to
accept responsibility for their actions.
In a careeristic competitive world, the people who
act immorally, who have no regard for truth, are
7. Skopec: Darwin’s Theorem Revised
AJMS/Jul-Sep-2018/Vol 2/Issue 3 18
going to have an advantage over those who play
by the rules. The result is that those who achieve
positions of power will be the most ruthless, the
most sociopathic, and the ones without conscience.
In societies run by psychopaths, ambitious
individuals and sycophants, who are not clinically
psychopathic, are induced to model themselves
after powerful psychopaths to achieve power. The
result: Psychopaths breed more psychopaths.
When corporate leaders, bankers, media executives,
academics, military officers, government officials,
congressmen, and senators may be liars and
deceivers, ruthless, callous manipulators who have
no regard for truth or other people, the entire fabric
ofsocietyistwistedintheirimage,andpsychopathic
behavior of carerists becomes the norm.
Our world is characterized by permanent war, and
tendency to full-spectrum dominance in global
government, and the New World Order. It is clear
that this world has not been built by caring human
beings but has been constructed and is run by
powerful hallow soulless individuals. Moreover,
despite the violence, suffering, and chaos, they
have caused, we allow them to remain at the top
and in control.
Knowledge of recent neurobiology is proving
our thesis that Charles Darwin was wrong when
formulated his theorem “Survival of the fittest.” It
was the biggest false myth of the modern science.
As we have demonstrated in our above study,
the careerist is psychopath and not “the fittest.”
From this reason, we must to correct Charles
Darwin to “Survival of the careerist.” Reality in
the 21st
century is showing that survival of the
careerist based on the QEE is more valid principle
of social dynamics in our days. Careeristic
competition is the main cause of the QEE, leading
to increased complications through coincidences
of social dynamics.
