Expect no loyalty. Try to get out as soon as you can. And that's the only advice that, you know, obviously I'm not a clinician, but I think most clinicians, if they're honest, will say, you got to get out of there. This is not tolerable.
I don't think you can win. First of all, these individuals are severely flawed of character. They have no introspection. They see themselves as perfect. They don't see any imperfection in themselves. And so because they're flawed of character, you cannot expect normal behaviors from them. And so why expose yourself to them? They will be like that all their lives.

Oh, you know, people, I get this question all the time. Well, can you have multiple traits? Yes. You can have, you can be pathologically narcissistic, so you overvalue yourself, and And you can also have traits of the paranoid personality where that you are very rigid in your thinking and you're always suspicious of everybody's intentions. In history, you look at Hitler.

In history, you look at Hitler.
Hitler was pathologically, he was a malignant narcissist. He was clinically paranoid. Who did he fear? Minorities, the Roma, what was then called the Gypsies, and of course, the Jewish people. That is clinical paranoia. And he was a psychopath. Okay, let's just lay that out there. What is psychopathy? Psychopathy is where you have no remorse, no empathy, no conscience.

You can do whatever you want, and you sleep well at night. There. That's your Robert Hare. The researcher is the best one that defines psychopathy. Hitler had it all.

Well, narcissism, by the way, narcissism, which has been studied since the 1950s, we now have a narcissistic society like we never did before. We see it in the way we talk about ourselves more than anything. We get on TikTok and other forums and we espouse all sorts of things. And so we're way more narcissistic now than in the 1950s. They look at even the words we use.

Now we use the word me and I more than we did in the 1950s. We used to say we and ours. Now we say me and I. The true narcissist has a belief system that is so corrupt. They're truly flawed of character. And they not only have the traits of narcissism, but they truly believe how they see themselves as infallible, as I only have the answers. I'm the person that can make us great again.

And I know what you're going to ask me next. No, I'm not going to ask you that. Thank you. Thank you. But if the traits fit, then what I tell people is, whether you're going into an organization or if you're looking at who's leading your country, ask yourself, do they have these traits? And if they have the traits, then it's not a difficult equation.

Psychology is, especially when it comes to people flawed of character, is not that difficult, is do I want to work for somebody that values me? or someone that devalues others. And you start with that.

I've never been asked that question. So thank you for asking a most profound question. I guess the best answer is that I learned a piecemeal, and I'm glad I learned piecemeal. And by that, I mean that my first homicide was just a regular homicide that I responded to. My first suicide, which was a police officer, it was in increments.

I think if I had been presented with everything that I had been presented with all at once, I think I would have had a mental breakdown. I'm glad that it was episodic, that I was able to learn from each. And what I have learned is, number one, that who were most of the people that I talked to? The majority were witnesses or victims. And these were nice people. They were kind people.
