Hi mantle,
I think you might have misunderstood me and I apologize if I was not clear.
I was questioning whether Cliff is actually sufficiently aware of psychopaths, their effect on society, etc.
I was actually surprised to see your post, as it appeared you were reversing my question to you and redirecting it to me.

Hi Mantle,Just so I understand you clearly, do you think Cliff is sufficiently informed on the role of psychopaths and ponerized society (and has synthesized the information)? It's one thing to be looking behind curtains but another to know what one is looking for.

That was actually the second time I asked. The first time, you replied with reference to
The reason I was asking was that I was unclear on where you stood vis a vis Cliff's awareness of Psychopaths and how they affect society.
I personally don't think Cliff is sufficiently aware. Nor do I think he is aware how easy it is for TPTB to inject memes and discussion into website and social networks intentionally to skew his data.
Finally, I don't think he is aware of the benefits of networking with a diverse group of individuals committed to searching for objective truths where ideas are assessed only after they are stripped of their subjectivity as much as is possible and hypotheses are evergreen, constantly being adjusted in light of emerging data once it too has been de-subjectified.
Either he is unaware or he is purposefully misleading.
Although I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt (tentatively) for now, a fool manipulated by the dark forces of entropy is just as dangerous, if not more so, than the negative force itself. At least with the latter you know what you are getting while the former can be so disarming that one drops their guard.
Regarding the "tipping point" with respect to buzz, I only know what I read from the Wired magazine article. My comment on academia discovering something already known in certain circles is based on the following assumptions:
If I think of something, there's a good chance it's already been thought of already. But if a university's researchers discover something, particularly something that can be used to manipulate society in a quiet manner, the odds are even greater that discovery had already been made by the PTB, who have considerably greater resources focused specifically on such research.
That's all. Just me reasoning out probabilities.
Once again, I apologize if I was not clear in my earlier posts.
