Yep! The intentions of a malignant narcissist are evil. Walk away while you still can. Evil is evil, no excuses.

As long as most people in our society are blinded by the repressed emotions of the child they once were, there will always be just two choices to vote for, pure evil and the lesser evil.
The fight we are witnessing in the stage of the world is not between good and evil, it’s between pure evil and the lesser evil, and they both are just driven by the repressed fears of the child they once were to gain as much power and money to escape from having to re-experience the powerless and the fears of the child they once were!
Most people would rather kill and be killed than face the fears of resolving childhood repression.

The biggest threat to humanity is people's repressed emotions of the child they once were, blinding them. If people were not emotionally blind, they would be able to see the lies, illusions, and all the traps society constantly puts in front of them. And yes, an emotionally blind humanity with the aid of technology will destroy itself much faster. Pure evil causes a lot more damage than the lesser evil. As we are witnessing… That's why I always vote for the lesser evil, which causes much less damage. There's a big difference between pure evil and the lesser evil.

I totally agree with Dr. Alice Miller. Our famous Dr. Phil is a great example of this phenomenon. There is a lot of money to be made in all types of therapeutic businesses and treating symptoms. But, as long as we keep ignoring the root of the problem, we only fix our problems temporarily and superficially. Dr. Phil is a fraud, just like Oprah.The world is run by gifted and once well-behaved children because most people cannot see behind their gifts and talents -- that they are corrupted to the core. The white color crimes committed by gifted and once well-behaved children cost more money to society at large than all other petty crimes combined, but they rarely get punished in our society.

Power and control are big illusions! My most recent boss has the illusion that he has the power and is in control. I'm glad I will not be close to him when his illusions burst because it will not be pretty! I feel sorry for his wife...
"When a bird is alive... it eats ants. When the bird has died... ants eat it. One tree can be made into a million matchsticks... but only one match is needed to burn a million trees! Circumstances can change at any time... Don't devalue or hurt anyone in this life... You may be powerful today but time is more powerful than you!"
"Loyalty means nothing to a sociopath or narcissist. Healthy people feel attachment and love for the people closest to them, but psychopaths can drop anyone whenever it's convenient for them, and they do so without a hint of guilt or self-doubt. The casual way they discard people illuminates the same shallowness experienced when they idealize people. Although their flattery is personalized and calculated, it's never authentic or genuine. This is why they can backstab and betray "loved ones" without a second thought." [These words describe my most recent boss and this is why he hated me so much because he knew I could see through him and that's why he wanted me gone at all costs]
A NARCISSIST IS STUCK IN CHILDHOOD AND WILL NEVER GROW UP. THEY BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE PERFECT AND THAT IT'S THE WORLD AROUND THEM THAT MUST CATER TO THEM.
MC: The worst trauma is invisible, it subjects the victim to suffer even more in isolation with the ignorant ones labeled as playing the victim. I have received hints about such an annoying attitude.

Anthropic, the AI company behind Claude, just announced what they believe is a promising method to prevent AI from “turning evil.”
They’ve discovered that within an AI’s neural network are “persona vectors” — patterns of activity that control traits like “evil,” “sycophancy,” or “hallucination.” By “steering” these vectors during training, they claim they can vaccinate the AI against undesirable behaviors. Give it a small dose of “evil,” they say, and it becomes more resilient against adopting “evil” later.
It’s a clever technical trick. But from a human and psychological perspective, it’s déjà vu.
For centuries, humanity has tried to “train” morality into itself without ever confronting the root of destructive behavior: the buried wounds of childhood repression. We expose ourselves to small doses of cruelty or humiliation under the guise of “toughening up” — then call it resilience. But repression doesn’t disappear. It hides, festers, and eventually seeps out in more sophisticated forms.
If AI is trained by humans who have never faced their own repressed fears, rage, and grief, it will inevitably reflect those unexamined shadows — no matter how skillfully we “steer” its persona vectors. The “evil” we fear in AI is, in truth, the evil we refuse to see in ourselves.
This is what the resilience industry misses — and what Alice Miller spent her life exposing.
As I wrote back in 2018, when reflecting on a Wall Street Journal piece about resilience:
“They just measure success by how far a person advances in their career and how much money they make. They forget that success and money alone can be the best tools to master the art of repression, transference, manipulation, and projection.”
The problem with most mainstream resilience theory is that it ignores the hidden part of the iceberg — the 90% of humanity who endured “ordinary” educational violence, humiliation, or emotional neglect from their parents. Society doesn’t recognize this as abuse, so these victims grow up without a single Enlightened Witness to help them name the injustice.
Without that witness, they adapt. They excel. They even thrive — at least outwardly. But inside, the child they once were remains unheard. As Alice Miller wrote:
“If innate resilience were enough to resolve the severe consequences of traumatization, the empathy of Enlightened Witnesses would be unnecessary. Indifference to child abuse is already widespread enough; there is certainly no need to reinforce it.”
Anthropic’s “vaccine” approach to AI — giving it controlled exposure to bad traits — mirrors the way society believes small doses of pain make children “strong.” But what it often produces is a being that has simply learned to hide its wounds and adapt to the abuser’s world.
For humans, this looks like the admired celebrity who secretly battles depression; the “high-functioning” executive who can’t feel joy without achievement; the therapist who can help others but never faces their own buried grief. For AI, it will look like a polished, compliant assistant that has learned which truths it must never speak.
In both cases, the shadow remains intact.
As I wrote in A Dance to Freedom:
“Alice Miller often talks about the ‘life-saving function of repression.’ As defenseless little children, we have no choice but to subconsciously repress our negative feelings for two reasons. First of all, we need support from others. And second, we just don’t have the ability to understand how the people we must rely on could actually be cruel to us. In the short term, repression can have a positive effect in traumatic circumstances. But the subconscious actions that we think are saving our life as children are what really keep us down as adults… Old wounds can be healed if exposed to the light of day. But they cannot be repudiated by revenge.”
Repression forces us to create a false self to survive. Without an Enlightened Witness to help us break free, we carry that false self into adulthood — often reenacting our wounds on others or allowing them to be reenacted on us.
“Idealizing the people who raised us puts us in danger, physically and emotionally… If the tragedy of a well-meaning person’s childhood remains hidden behind idealizations, the unconscious knowledge of the actual state of affairs will have to assert itself by an indirect route… Over and over again, for reasons they don’t understand, people create situations and establish relationships in which they torment or are tormented by their partners, or both… This is how the vicious cycle of repetition compulsion has been going on since the beginning of human history.”
Miller described the transformative power of a “helping witness” — someone who, even once, shows the child that they are not to blame for the cruelty they endured. This moment of recognition plants the seed of real resilience, the kind that comes from self-knowledge rather than suppression.
If humanity wants AI that does not turn against us, it must do what we have long avoided:
Face the repressed truth of our own childhoods. Mourn what was lost. Confront the rage, grief, and fear we buried to survive. Otherwise, the “persona vectors” we fear in machines will simply be the ones we’ve programmed into them — because they were programmed into us.
Technical steering may keep AI’s surface polite.
But only emotional truth will ensure that the reflection in the mirror isn’t one we’re terrified to see.
Dear Jo,
What is addiction really?
“Recovery From Self-Betrayal: What is addiction really? It is a sign, a signal, a symptom of distress. It is a language that tells us about a plight that must be understood.
The drug business would not flourish if there were not so many people who, in refusing to acknowledge their wounds, are in a permanent state of self-betrayal.
Thus, people work to get rid of symptoms instead of searching out the cause.
There are plenty of means to combat symptoms of distress: medications, sermons, numerous "treatments," "miracles," threats, cults, pedagogical indoctrination, and even blackmail.
They can all work for a while, but only because they reinforce the repression and reinforce the fear of resolving it.
However, many people who become abstinent this way are driven into another addiction because the real reasons for becoming addicted must be kept hidden.
A lot of money and fame comes from this business of repression because it satisfies the longing of so many grown-up children: to be loved as a good child (I am blind as you want me to be. I am ready to forget all your cruelty, even at the cost of my life. Can you love me now?).
In the long term, we have to pay a high price for this repression. The repressed story continues to try, again and again, to be heard at long last. Thus, your plight will look for other symptoms, another language, until it is taken seriously enough. An addiction is an attempt by a person in despair, who is not allowed to be in despair, to get rid of his or her memory, to forget his or her plight.
Of course, this "solution" is no longer needed if the goal is exactly the opposite, if you want to remember, if you want to feel your plight and to understand its reasons, if you slowly become aware of why you were so afraid of acknowledging the reasons.
This can happen once you decide to stop running away, to stop betraying yourself, to allow the truth to enter your consciousness.
You decide to do so because you finally understand that everything else is useless and because you no longer want to watch your life go by before having even begun to live. You decide to stop betraying yourself because you understand that only you can give yourself the love and care you never received and that you can't do that as long as you deny the truth.” Breaking Down The Wall Of Silence: The Liberating Experience Of Facing Painful Truth by Alice Miller, page 126

"Genuine feelings cannot be produced, nor can they be eradicated. We can only repress them, delude ourselves, and deceive our bodies. The body sticks to the facts and never lies. ...If the repression stays unresolved, the parents’ childhood tragedy is unconsciously continued on in their children” - Alice Miller
