"Puzzling People" by Thomas Sheridan - a puzzling person

It also looks like that he deleted/hid/specified the first topic from yesterday, with his announcement that he is under attack etc.

And he did, regardless of what he wrote in that topic :" BTW - I will be leaving this post up here on the top of this FB page... FOREVER." :rolleyes:
 
Again, this says a lot about him. We are documenting (and questioning) material Sheridan has written himself...not anything others have written about him.

He responds by posting links to third party defamers, instead of actually addressing his predation of women, quoted from his OWN words.

Hmmm....makes me think his book belongs in the "Raku pit fire" pile. ;)

I think he knows there's no defense for his behavior, and he just can't wrap his head around that its his own actions that will end whatever 'career' he has. Banking on his supporters to save him maybe?

I doubt they will once his footsteps outline what he cares about.....once he's done 'scrubbing', what's left?

Nothing. The very definition of an entropic force.
 
:jawdrop:

Had heard an NPR spot some months ago that spotlighted Sheridan's book "Puzzling People" (could not find the link on NPR's web site). Was very intrigued by the simple fact that NPR was talking about psychopathy. After reading the many posts that Guardian put up. thank you, all I can wonder is if Sheridan's past does not put a red flag up for many people and start to think that psychopaths do not actually exist. I can only trust that people will continue on to research the overwhelming evidence on this.

To say that his posts as Unki are his attempts at stand up comedy is just appalling.

Once again the forum has uncovered the facts much gratitude for this.

Will definately put up links to the SOTT article.

His obsession with sex is so much, he is either possessed by some sex demon or he has some thing like pornopath (making up) :evil:

As Joe and Niall pointed out in their article, one of the 'key traits' of psychopaths that Sheridan lists - high testosterone - isn't in fact a key trait at all. Actually, it seems to apply more to Sheridan himself...
 
Thomas Sheridans account is removed from Facebook.

"Account Inactive
This account has been deactivated. Only you can see Thomas on your friends list. You have the option to unfriend Thomas."

Oddly enough, a Irish woman, Claire, who added me as a friend, very likely via Thomas, also deactivated her account on the same day. (She was/is a vegetarian...)

He talks of " waking up in a pool of sweat even in cold weather ". I don't remember reading this any where. Not sure where he got this info.
 
While the hatred that he has in his heart seems to be focused on everyone who doesn't do his bidding and the obsession he has with sex, there is little doubt (at least in my mind) that he is a predator with a lot of practice. Looking back over the last couple of months, as he was selling the paintings and promoting the books heavily... it almost had a closing out feel. Now with his deactivation of accounts, blogs and videos, I wonder if he will try and reinvent himself in another way, or form. Seems like when it gets to hot in the kitchen, these guys have a way of disappearing only to reappear later under another identity. For them it's almost as easy as changing clothes.

It's only because of reading this forum I have an understanding why so many women get taking in by these types and continue to do so even after evidence has been revealed to the contrary. Doesn't he also seem like the perfect vehicle to obscure the research on psychopathy? Also after thinking a little more about it, he is also a great STS vehicle to distract Laura from her writing, and the rest of us from something else that could be just around the corner? Either way the way the researchers of this forum handled his attacks with a graceful, swift and clear mind and that is worth more than it's weight in gold! Thank you.
 
Had read the SotT article yesterday and gleaned some likely good analysis going on in the background here. After reading there and this thread now, oh good grief, what a ton of vile predatory historical statements he makes, and what a bunch of deflective dancing around his own crap.

Guardian, thanks for being you - http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,26312.msg362491.html#msg362491 :wow:

From TS’s webpage, one of many? (first search result) “Thomas Sheridan Arts” , seemed rather interesting upon review and will read the screen shots a little later in their entirety.

Noticed here -_ http://thomassheridanarts.com/images/humanity_site.jpg a chart at the bottom he has called:

The Present State of the World

It is interesting as the left hand descriptor seems to be a mirror of his own mind, as a little light has now showcased for many to see, which has revealed a viable deceptive cloak and perhaps thusly follows the very rule he laid out against the ”Self Actualized” by the psychopathic type, imo.

With statements he has made, the feel sick kind, i'm starting to realize "The Present State of the World" is his sick joke.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

This guy is so much like Vincent Bridges and Jay Weidner, you would think they were cut out of the same cloth. It's actually boring: ho-hum, same bad song, different verse. I realize that many of you are just now seeing, in real time, a pathological acting out and it is shocking and dismaying but we've been dealing with this sort of thing for years now both on the net and in dealing with agents sent on a personal level.

Thing is, I think that once we have given the warning and have spread it as widely as possible, (as decent human beings it is our duty to warn others of predators in our midst), it's time to turn our attention to other things. Sheridan's actual audience is so small that he is less than a speck of dirt on the sandy beach of life. Heck, he's not even worth an analysis though if you are curious, just check schizoidal psychopath in "Political Ponerology."

So, best if everyone just unfriends and blocks him if he is still on Facebook; write your review of his book on amazon as another way of warning others, and do read all the material on psychopathology because now it will have a somewhat deeper meaning.

When we get results from the plagiarism scan, I'll post it and if it is warranted, I'll take it down to my atty.
 
Easy reference for newer members:

Schizoidia: Schizoidia, or schizoidal psychopathy, was isolated by the very first of the famous creators of modern psychiatry. From the beginning, it was treated as a lighter form of the same hereditary taint which is the cause of susceptibility to schizophrenia. However, this latter connection could neither be confirmed nor denied with the help of statistical analysis, and no biological test was then found which would have been able to solve this dilemma. ...

Literature provides us with descriptions of several varieties of this anomaly, whose existence can be attributed either to changes in the genetic factor or to differences in other individual characteristics of a non-pathological nature. Let us thus sketch these sub-species’ common features.


Carriers of this anomaly are hypersensitive and distrustful, but they pay little attention to the feelings of others, tend to assume extreme positions, and are eager to retaliate for minor offenses.


Sometimes they are eccentric and odd. Their poor sense of psychological situation and reality leads them to superimpose erroneous, pejorative interpretations upon other people’s intentions. They easy become involved in activities which are ostensibly moral, but which actually inflict damage upon themselves and others.


Their impoverished psychological worldview makes them typically pessimistic regarding human nature. We frequently find expressions of their characteristic attitudes in their statements and writings: “Human nature is so bad that order in human society can only be maintained by a strong power created by highly qualified individuals in the name of some higher idea.” Let us call this typical expression the “schizoid declaration”... (Here I want to note that the Schizoidal type generally believes that THEY are the carriers of the knowledge of how human society can be "fixed" - and they alone.)


When they become wrapped up in situations of serious stress, however, the schizoid’s failings cause them to collapse easily. The capacity for thought is thereupon characteristically stifled, and frequently the schizoids fall into reactive psychotic states so similar in appearance to schizophrenia that they lead to misdiagnoses.


The common factor in the varieties of this anomaly is a dull pallor of emotions and feeling for the psychological realities. This can be attributed to the incomplete quality of the instinctive substratum, which is working as though on sand. Low emotional pressure enables them to develop proper speculative reasoning, which is useful in non-humanistic spheres of activity. Because of their one-sidedness, they tend to consider themselves intellectually superior to “ordinary” people.


The quantitative frequency of this anomaly varies among races and nations: low among Blacks, the highest among Jews. Estimates of this frequency range from negligible up to 3 %. In Poland it may be estimated as 0.7 % of population. My observations suggest this anomaly is autosomally hereditary.


A schizoid’s ponerological activity should be evaluated in two aspects. On the small scale, such people cause their families trouble, easily turn into tools of intrigue in the hands of clever individuals, and generally do a poor job of raising the younger generation.


Their tendency to see human reality in the doctrinaire and simplistic manner they consider “proper”, transforms their frequently good intentions into bad results. However, their ponerogenic role can take on macro-social proportions if their attitude toward human reality and their tendency to invent great doctrines are put to paper and duplicated in large editions.


In spite of their typical deficits, or even an openly schizoidal declaration, their readers do not realize what the authors’ characters are like; they interpret such works in a manner corresponding to their own nature. The minds of normal people tend toward corrective interpretation thanks to the participation of their own richer, psychological world-view. However, many readers critically reject such works with moral disgust but without being aware of the specific cause.


An analysis of the role played by Karl Marx’s works easily reveals all the above-mentioned types of apperception and the social reactions which engendered separations among people. [...]


During stable times which are ostensibly happy, albeit marked by injustice to individuals and nations, doctrinaire [schizoidal type] people believe they have found a simple solution to fix such a world. Such a historical period is always characterized by a generally impoverished psychological world-view, and so a schizoidally impoverished psychological world-view does not stand out during such times and is accepted as legal tender.


These doctrinaire individuals characteristically manifest a certain contempt with regard to moralists then preaching the need to rediscover lost human values and to develop a richer, more appropriate psychological world-view.


Schizoid characters aim to impose their own conceptual world upon other people or social groups, using relatively controlled pathological egotism and the exceptional tenacity derived from their persistent nature.


They are thus eventually able to overpower another individual’s personality, which causes the latter’s behavior to turn desperately illogical. They may also exert a similar influence upon the group of people they have joined.


They are psychological loners who feel better in some human organization, wherein they become zealots for some ideology, religious bigots, materialists, or adherents of an ideology with satanic features. If their activities consist of direct contact on a small social scale, their acquaintances easily perceive them to be eccentric, which limits their ponerogenic role. However, if they manage to hide their own personality behind the written word, their influence may poison the minds of society in a wide scale and for a long time.


The conviction that Karl Marx is the best example of this is correct as he was the best-known figure of that kind. Frostig, a psychiatrist of the old school, included Engels and others into a category he called “bearded schizoidal fanatics”. The famous utterances attributed to Zionist wise men at the turn of the century start with a schizoidal declaration. The nineteenth century, especially its latter half, appears to have been a time of exceptional activity on the part of schizoidal individuals, often but not always of Jewish descent. After all we have to remember that 97% of all Jews do not manifest this anomaly, and that it also appears among all European nations, albeit to a markedly lesser extent. Our inheritance from this period includes world-images, scientific traditions, and legal concepts flavored with the shoddy ingredients of a schizoidal apprehension of reality.


In spite of the fact that the writings of schizoidal authors contain the above described deficiency, or even an openly formulated schizoidal declaration which constitutes sufficient warning to specialists, the average reader accepts them not as a view of reality warped by this anomaly, but rather as an idea to which he should assume an attitude based on his convictions and his reason. That is the first mistake.


The oversimplified pattern, devoid of psychological color and based on easily available data, exerts an intense influence upon individuals who are insufficiently critical, frequently frustrated as result of downward social adjustment, culturally neglected, or characterized by some psychological deficiencies. Others are provoked to criticism based on their healthy common sense, also they fail to grasp this essential cause of the error....


We can distinguish two distinctly different apperception types among those persons who accept the contents of such works: the critically-corrective and the pathological.


People whose feel for psychological reality is normal tend to incorporate chiefly the more valuable elements of the work. They trivialize the obvious errors and complement the schizoid deficiencies by means of their own richer world-view. This gives rise to a more sensible, measured, and thus creative interpretation, but is not free from the influence of the error frequently adduced above.


Pathological acceptance is manifested by individuals with diverse deviations, whether inherited or acquired, as well as by many people bearing personality malformations or who have been injured by social injustice. ...


Schizoidia has thus played an essential role as one of the factors in the genesis of the evil threatening our contemporary world. Practicing psychotherapy upon the world will therefore demand that the results of such evil be eliminated as skillfully as possible. ....


In the ponerogenic process of the pathocratic phenomenon, characteropathic individuals adopt ideologies created by doctrinaire, often schizoidal people, recast them into an active propaganda form, and disseminate it with pathological egotism and paranoid intolerance for any philosophies which may differ from their own. ...Underneath the rulership of [a pathocracy] we can even discern a period of hyperactivity on the part of schizoidal individuals mesmerized by the vision of their own rule based on contempt for human nature, especially if they are numerous within a given country. ...

In non-semitic nations, schizoidals are somewhat more numerous than essential psychopaths; although highly active in the early phases of the genesis of the phenomenon, they betray an attraction to pathocracy as well as the rational distance of efficient thinking; Thus they are torn between such a system and the society of normal people.
