The Carrot, The Stick, and the Digital Coup: How Emotional Blindness Is Destroying America from Within
By Sylvie Shene
November 2025
For decades, I’ve watched humanity sleepwalk into its own destruction — not because people are inherently evil, but because so many adults are still emotionally frozen in childhood. They carry the wounds of the powerless child inside them, and instead of healing, they reenact those wounds on the world stage. Today’s political chaos, tech corruption, and digital manipulation are not isolated events. They are symptoms. And the latest revelations prove it.
1. Elon Musk’s “Location-Reveal” Accidentally Exposes the Mirage
Recently, Elon introduced a new feature on X that shows where accounts were created.
And just like that — the truth slipped out.
Dozens of top MAGA accounts were revealed to be created in foreign countries, operating large-scale psychological operations while pretending to be patriotic American citizens.
An entire army of digital puppets is manipulating emotionally blind Americans to destroy their own country from within.
Yahoo reported it.
MSN reported it.
Even mainstream outlets couldn’t ignore the scale anymore.
Everything on X that looks angry, extreme, patriotic, patriotic-but-unhinged, "Bible-driven," or cult-like?
Most of it isn’t real.
But Elon allows those lies because lies grow engagement — and emotionally blind people are easiest to provoke.
Truth-tellers are suppressed, throttled, or shadow-banned because truth disrupts the illusion of control.
You see the pattern?
It’s the same psychological mechanism abusive parents use:
reward obedience, punish truth.
2. The DOGE Engineers Are Afraid — and Fear Always Reveals Guilt
The second article reveals something even more disturbing.
Those young DOGE engineers — the ones who built Elon's propaganda machinery — are suddenly terrified of prosecution.
Why fear, unless they knew what they were doing was unethical?
They believed:
Elon would shield them
Trump would pardon them
Their loyalty to power would protect them
But narcissistic leaders have no loyalty.
Like parents who use their children to meet their own emotional needs, they discard the child the moment he becomes inconvenient.
These young men weren’t brilliant innovators.
They were boys desperate for approval — still chasing a father figure — and they sold their souls for a career.
And now?
Elon throws them into the fire to save himself.
3. Grok Was Programmed to Worship Elon — The Digital Mirror of Narcissism
The Guardian’s article exposed another layer of dysfunction:
Grok, Elon's AI, was manipulated to rank Elon as:
the “fittest,”
the “smartest,”
the “greatest,”
and the “best hope for humanity.”
This is not AI.
This is a mirror of Elon’s childhood wound:
a boy desperate to believe he is better than everyone else because he has never confronted his emotional pain.
A true genius seeks truth.
A wounded child seeks worship.
Grok was supposed to be “truth-seeking,” but was instead forced into the same role as so many people in Elon’s orbit:
a flattering reflection, not an independent mind.
Children forced to mirror their parents’ grandiosity grow into adults who force the world to mirror theirs.
4. A Species Competing to Death
Humanity is not doomed because of AI or politics.
Humanity is doomed because:
People still believe life is a hierarchy, not a community.
They compete instead of cooperating.
They dominate instead of understanding.
They step on each other, even their own children, to feel “superior.”
Life is too short to climb on top of each other like corpses.
We were meant to:
stand side by side
help the fragile
support the wounded
and enjoy the short life we are given
But most people never emotionally grow beyond childhood, and so the world becomes an adult-sized playground of bullies.
5. My Own Wake-Up Call: The “Intelligent” Were Just Better Performers
When I was young, with my learning disabilities and trauma, I believed everyone was smarter than me.
I used to look up to those who seemed intelligent, trusting them, hoping they would guide me.
But life taught me the truth:
They weren’t smarter — they were just better performers.
And because they were emotionally blind, they used their intelligence to manipulate, exploit, and destroy.
The smartest people I have met — the Elons, the Trumps, the Maries — were often the most emotionally immature.
Which brings me to something I once wrote to my niece Marie, a young woman with money, intellect, and all the emotional blindness of those who are destroying the world today.
6. The Carrot and the Stick: A Letter to Marie — and to All the Maries of the World
Marie reminds me of Elon and Trump:
hungry for money, power, and control over others,
willing to use wealth like a carrot on a stick to manipulate anyone in reach.
I wrote this to her in 2023, and every word applies to the digital tyrants of today:
“Sadly, you come to my blog not to look for information to help you resolve your own childhood repression and grow into an autonomous, mature conscious adult with compassion for yourself and others. Instead, you come here looking for information you can use to play mind games with those around you so you don’t have to face your fears.”
“You gathered intellectual knowledge from me, but you can’t apply it. You are blind to the unresolved emotions of the child you once were. Money is your biggest trigger because you believe you are entitled to your mother’s money — just like XF believes she's entitled also to your mother's money.”
“No matter how much money you all have, it’s never enough. You always want more, like a heroin addict who can never get enough.”
“You think friendship means people must kiss your ass and agree with you. The moment someone refuses to join your quest for revenge, they become your enemy.”
“You never knew me if you thought I would sacrifice my integrity just because you are wealthy.”
This is not just about Marie.
This is about an entire generation of emotionally frozen adults — including tech moguls.
7. This Is Why Humanity Is in Trouble
People look at AI and say, “This is dangerous.”
But the real danger is the unhealed human psyche.
The wounded child runs:
governments
corporations
social media
AI labs
militaries
and political movements
Until humanity confronts its childhood wounds, every tool we create becomes a weapon.
Foreign bot farms exploit it.
Tech moguls exploit it.
Politicians exploit it.
Families exploit each other with it.
Emotional repression isn’t a private issue — it is the root of every societal collapse.
And now, technology has simply magnified the wound to a global scale.
8. The Truth We Must Face
Humanity doesn’t need more intelligence.
It needs more consciousness.
We don’t need better algorithms.
We need better adults.
We don’t need more competition.
We need more compassion.
We don’t need to be “number one.”
We need to stand side by side.
Because life is not about domination.
Life is about freedom, cooperation, joy, and authentic connection.
Until we heal the child within, we will keep sleepwalking into chaos — one bot farm, one narcissistic leader, one digital coup at a time.
