Gammas Never, Ever, Learn
A flawless example of a Gamma Male in action
Gammas hate the Socio-Sexual Hierarchy because it is a concise and objective irritant to their Delusion Bubbles. After all, how can the self-appointed Secret King rule his little kingdom in peace when he is reminded, every single day, that he is near the bottom of the various social hierarchies to which he belongs?
Gammas also harbor a particular hate for Sigmas even though they don’t envy us in the way they envy Alphas because we represent the Platonic Ideal of their psychological cope. The Gamma knows he is not an Alpha, but he imagines that he could be, and so he views the Sigma, who most men believe could be an Alpha, to be a material form of secret kingship to which he could plausibly aspire.
The fact that the hypersensitive and socially ambitious Gamma could never become an indifferent Sigma content with social outsider status is usually lost on the Gamma, to say nothing of the obvious distinction between high sexual status and low sexual status involved. But the mere mention of Sigma is a priori irritating to the Gamma, whose status he will attempt to discredit almost as instinctively as he seeks to undermine the various Alphas of his acquaintance.
Case in point: the Gamma who felt the need to weigh into the recent discussion of empathy and the way it is distinct from both a) sympathy and b) emotional projection.
GAMMA: Empathy without caring is psychopathy, not being a so called sigma.
SIGMA: You have no idea what you're talking about. Psychopathy is literally defined by an absence of empathy. It is an oxymoron to assert there is a form of empathetic psychopathy. Low-IQ Gamma confirmed.
Now, the average individual would be embarrassed to be so easily, and so publicly, proven wrong. Not only is the Gamma not the authority on what is, or what is not, indicative of being a Sigma - indeed, he indicates his refusal to even accept the concept - but he demonstrates that he doesn’t even understand the relationship between empathy and psychopathy.
Not only is a lack of empathy considered to be one of the key identifiers of a psychopath in The Original Hare Psychopathy Checklist, a psychological assessment tool designed to assess the presence of psychopathy in individuals, but the definitional relationship has been substantiated by a material basis in neurology.
Neurological basis for lack of empathy in psychopaths
September 24, 2013
Summary: When individuals with psychopathy imagine others in pain, brain areas necessary for feeling empathy and concern for others fail to become active and be connected to other important regions involved in affective processing and decision-making, reports a study published in the open-access journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.
But the Gamma cannot back down, even when a 5-second Internet search is sufficient to dismiss his assertions. Backing down means giving into the wave of shame and humiliation that attends every admission of being wrong, therefore the Gamma reliably adopts the psychological coping strategy of denying the obvious fact of his having been wrong. This, you will note, is how and why Gamma Delusion Bubble’s are constructed.
Amusingly, he even gifted us a living, breathing example of the “Ackchually” meme. Christmas came early, everyone!
GAMMA: Actually, your arrogant, high-IQ Alpha response doesn't even contradict what I wrote, because I was discussing the relationship between caring, empathy, and psychopathy, while you only mentioned the connection between empathy and psychopathy without addressing caring, which was the main point of my comment. Empathy means being emotionally affected by someone else's situation or emotions. Simply noticing and understanding someone else's emotions is cognitive empathy, which manipulative psychopaths can also have.
The Gamma’s assertion is simply false. Empathy is, per definition:
The ability to identify with or understand another's situation or feelings: synonym: pity.
The intellectual identification of the thoughts, feelings, or state of another person.
Capacity to understand another person's point of view or the result of such understanding.
Understanding and entering into another's feelings.
Notice the absence of “caring” in any of them. Or, for those inclined to be pedantic, in any of the irrelevant definitions that I omitted. Cognitive empathy is not empathy at all, just as social justice is not justice; the adjective modifies the noun. Obviously, empathy can be simulated, I specifically addressed how people can usefully do so with proactive practical applied empathy, but the whole reason it has to be simulated is because the simulating individual lacks the real thing.
As was always inevitable, the Gamma was banned for a) retardery and b) excessive Gamma. I don’t think it’s necessary to ban Gammas on sight here, and perhaps making a public example of those who can’t control themselves will help inspire their fellow Gammas to master their fear of stepping outside their Delusion Bubbles and put in the work to modify the behavioral patterns that socially harm them.
THE LITANY AGAINST RETARDERY
I do not hear.
Retardery is the cosmic background noise.
Retardery is the mind-morass that inspires neural disintegration.
I will face the retardery.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone it will leave no trace behind.
Where the retardery has passed there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
“Psychopaths have empathy” could only have been written by someone who has never had the experience of working with genuine aspd diagnosed individuals. The ability of such individuals to inflict every type of pain on anyone around them while remaining utterly detached or even giggling is nightmare fuel.
You're an if-then conditional to a Psychopath.
They care very much about perceptions. Caring without empathy is a trait of Psychopathy.
