“Dark empathy can describe a form of emotional intelligence that allows you to identify the thoughts and feelings of others and then use them for personal gain.

When you display dark empathy traits, your focus is often on how a situation can benefit you, and not how it will affect the other person.

While dark empathy can be considered a form of cognitive empathy, some experts believe this terminology is misleading, and that in general, being an empathetic person means having a benevolent mindset.

Dark empathy is not a mental health disorder, and it features traits of narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism.” Energy vampires don’t take accountability, always involved in some kind of drama, always one-up you, diminish your problems and play up their own, act like a martyr, use your good nature against you, use guilt trips or ultimatums, codependent, criticize or bully, and they intimidate. “Energy vampire vs. trauma dumping

Both energy vampires and people who “trauma dump” can overshare intimate emotions and experiences, leaving you feeling emotionally taxed.

Trauma dumping, however, may only be related to one traumatic experience and can be a subconscious expression that you’re ready and in need of support. It isn’t always accompanied by other energy-draining behaviors.

Energy vampires often have ongoing, exaggerated drama, though they may also have a history of trauma. They don’t tend to be interested in solutions as the drama helps them secure the attention and energy of those around them.” “The three types of empathy

Cognitive empathy. The ability to understand someone’s perspective and thoughts without emotional involvement.

Emotional empathy. Being able to feel the emotions someone else is feeling as though you were going through their experience, too.

Compassionate empathy. A combination of cognitive and emotional empathy where you understand another perspective and your emotions respond as though you were in that situation.” In the crime world, some drug suppliers get killed, cop killers and cop beaters and cop robbers exist, federal agent killers and federal agent beaters and federal agent robbers exist, some women commit bestiality to feed their drug habit, some women have free sex and paid sex to feed their drug habits, violent betrayals and murderous betrayals and infighting and sex scandals and sex work scandals and adultery scandals do happen. Fake friends, snakes, freeloaders, thieves, hangers-on, and wolves in sheep’s clothing exist in organized crime. In that crime world, I was nicknamed “Mr. About His Business” because I had a serious look on my face which they assumed was a scowl and my other nickname was “Booming” because of my grown man-sounding voice as a child. In the crime world, If you’re not careful about your body language, your bodily moves, and your speech, violence and/murder will be the inevitable consequences. “The different businesses that organized crime figures have been known to operate is vast, including but not limited to pharmacies, import-export companies, check-cashing stores, tattoo parlors, zoos, online dating sites, liquor stores, motorcycle shops, banks, hotels, ranches and plantations, electronic stores, beauty salons, real estate companies, daycares, framing stores, taxicab companies, phone companies, shopping malls, jewelry stores, modeling agencies, dry cleaners, pawn shops, pool halls, clothing stores, freight companies, charity foundations, youth centers, recording studios, sporting goods stores, furniture stores, gyms, insurance companies, security companies, law firms, and private military companies.[125]” Racism in terms of words, tone of voice, facial expressions, gestures, jokes, innuendos, direct statements, racist slurs, BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color) criminals being paid less than white criminals, whites having better security, BIPOC criminals relying on The Italian Mafia and the Mexican drug cartels for drug trafficking than white criminals.

This is what I believed as a child:“The Apostle Creed says that I believe in God, the Father almighty,

creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit

and born of the virgin Mary.

He suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, died, and was buried;

he descended to hell.

The third day he rose again from the dead.

He ascended to heaven

and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.

From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic* church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting. Amen.

*that is, the true Christian church of all times and all places.”

I saw all of these things: “Organized crime is any enterprise or group of persons engaged in a continuing illegal activity which has as its primary purpose the generation of profits. Beside the main activities being illegal under various state and federal laws, there are also laws which deal with money laundering from organized crime activities. These activities may include trafficking in people, drugs, illicit goods and weapons, extortion, theft, financial crime, armed robbery, counterfeiting and money laundering.” There were people within that crime world who were accused of mean mugging, violent conduct, and making suspicious movements, by criminals, civilians, and cops so they were beaten badly and killed instantly. I spared all of the lives of the men who begged me to spare their lives. I learned how to be careful of my verbal behavior and my non-verbal behavior. The “bodyguards” meaning the killers disliked most people, so some people got close to me because the killers liked them. The people (civilians) were considered harmless by the killers. A few were criminals who didn’t pose a threat in the mind of the killers. They were extremely tough graders (impossible to please when it came to the majority of people in life.) The rest of the people were made to stay away from me or leave my presence or beaten by them or killed by them. “Organized crime groups provide a range of illegal services and goods. Organized crime often victimizes businesses through the use of extortion or theft and fraud activities like hijacking cargo trucks and ships, robbing goods, committing bankruptcy fraud (also known as "bust-out"), insurance fraud or stock fraud (insider trading). Organized crime groups also victimize individuals by car theft (either for dismantling at "chop shops" or for export), art theft, metal theft, bank robbery, burglary, jewelry and gems theft and heists, shoplifting, computer hacking, credit card fraud, economic espionage, embezzlement, identity theft, and securities fraud ("pump and dump" scam). Some organized crime groups defraud national, state, or local governments by bid rigging public projects, counterfeiting money, smuggling or manufacturing untaxed alcohol (rum-running) or cigarettes (buttlegging), and providing immigrant workers to avoid taxes.

Organized crime groups seek out corrupt public officials in executive, law enforcement, and judicial roles so that their criminal rackets and activities on the black market can avoid, or at least receive early warnings about, investigation and prosecution.

Activities of organized crime include loansharking of money at very high interest rates, assassination, backyard breeding, bombings, bookmaking and illegal gambling, confidence tricks, forging early release prison documents, copyright infringement, counterfeiting of intellectual property, metal theft, fencing, kidnapping, prostitution, smuggling, drug trafficking, arms trafficking, impersonating armored truck drivers, oil smuggling, antiquities smuggling, organ trafficking, contract killing, identity document forgery, money laundering, bribery, seduction, electoral fraud, insurance fraud, point shaving, price fixing, cargo theft via fictions pickup, illegal taxicab operation, illegal dumping of toxic waste, illegal trading of nuclear materials, military equipment smuggling, nuclear weapons smuggling, passport fraud, providing illegal immigration and cheap labor, people smuggling, trading in endangered species, and trafficking in human beings. Organized crime groups also do a range of business and labor racketeering activities, such as skimming casinos, insider trading, setting up monopolies in industries such as garbage collecting, construction and cement pouring, bid rigging, getting "no-show" and "no-work" jobs, political corruption and bullying.” I have seen children (myself included and mostly girls) and adults (mostly women) endure the auction block treatment (just like the North American slavery.)

I live by all of these values: “Council for Secular Humanism:

According to the Council for Secular Humanism, within the United States, the term "secular humanism" describes a world view with the following elements and principles:[8]

Need to test beliefs – A conviction that dogmas, ideologies and traditions, whether religious, political or social, must be weighed and tested by each individual and not simply accepted by faith.

Reason, evidence, scientific method – A commitment to the use of critical reason, factual evidence and scientific method of inquiry in seeking solutions to human problems and answers to important human questions.

Fulfillment, growth, creativity – A primary concern with fulfillment, growth and creativity for both the individual and humankind in general.

Search for truth – A constant search for objective truth, with the understanding that new knowledge and experience constantly alter our imperfect perception of it.

This life – A concern for this life (as opposed to an afterlife) and a commitment to making it meaningful through better understanding of ourselves, our history, our intellectual and artistic achievements, and the outlooks of those who differ from us.

Ethics – A search for viable individual, social and political principles of ethical conduct, judging them on their ability to enhance human well-being and individual responsibility.

Justice and fairness – an interest in securing justice and fairness in society and in eliminating discrimination and intolerance.[29]

Building a better world – A conviction that with reason, an open exchange of ideas, good will, and tolerance, progress can be made in building a better world for ourselves and our children.

A Secular Humanist Declaration was issued in 1980 by the Council for Secular Humanism's predecessor, CODESH. It lays out ten ideals: Free inquiry as opposed to censorship and imposition of belief; separation of church and state; the ideal of freedom from religious control and from jingoistic government control; ethics based on critical intelligence rather than that deduced from religious belief; moral education; religious skepticism; reason; a belief in science and technology as the best way of understanding the world; evolution; and education as the essential method of building humane, free, and democratic societies.[30]”

“I am going to write today about what it means to be sex-positive, and some things you can try to become more sex-positive. The International Society for Sex Medicine (ISSM) defines sex-positivity in different ways. Here are some traits of sex-positive people according to the ISSM:

If they have questions about sex, they feel comfortable asking, and they are eager to understand more about the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of sexual activity.

They understand the importance of safe sex. Safe sex can include ensuring emotional and psychological safety, involving supporting someone with a sexual dysfunction or sexual abuse history.

They believe that sex is a natural part of being human and should be enjoyed by those who want to have sex. For sex-positive people, sex can be discussed without shame or awkwardness, and it is not a taboo subject.

“They accept others’ sexual practices,” or lack thereof, “as long as the participants consent and feel safe, without moral judgment.”

Here are some things that sex positivity is NOT:

Simply enjoying sex. If that were the case, we would have a lot more sex-positive people in the world! Plenty of people who enjoy sex still place shame and stigma on others who have different sexual practices.

Believing that everyone should have sex and enjoy it. The reasons some folks have for not engaging in sex are valid, and should always be respected.

Being hypersexual, with no boundaries, and having sex with anyone and everyone all the time.

Sexually objectifying others, and ignoring power dynamics and intersectionality.

Having an uncomplicated relationship with sex.

Lastly, I want to share a quote from Miri Mogilevsky, a Contributing Writer for Everyday Feminism. “I want a sex positivity that is here for all the trauma survivors, all the asexual and aromantic folks, all the people who don’t love their bodies, everyone who’s ever felt ambivalent about sex, and anyone who feels like sex has done them more harm than good.” I am open to experience wholesome people in reference to the entire human diversity of adults in moderation. I am open to cuckolding, cuckqueaning, hotwifing, and hot husbanding in moderation with the full, enthusiastic, consensual permission of all parties involved especially the life partners and the spouses. I have sex in patches (in moderate quantities, in moderate amounts, within reasonable limits, within sensible limits, within limits, within bounds, within due limits, moderately, up to a point, and occasionally rather than all of the time.)

“That is what school beat into us by putting certain types of intelligence on a pedestal and ignoring other types. If you are not good at math or language, you might still be gifted at other things but it was not called “intelligence”. Why?

In 1983 an American developmental psychologist Howard Gardener described 9 types of intelligence [1]:

Naturalist (nature smart)

Musical (sound smart)

Logical-mathematical (number/reasoning smart)

Existential (life smart)

Interpersonal (people smart)

Bodily-kinesthetic (body smart)

Linguistic (word smart)

Intra-personal (self smart)

Spatial (picture smart)

What other scientists thought were just soft-skills, such as interpersonal skills, Gardener realized were types of intelligence. It makes sense. Just as being a math whiz gives you the ability to understand the world, so does being “people smart” give you the same ability, just from a different perspective. Not knowing math you may not calculate the rate at which the universe is expanding, but you are likely to have the skills to find the right person who will.”

“Let’s take a closer look at all eight sensory systems…

Visual input (sight): We see through our eyes. They take in rays of light that create tiny pictures on the back of our eyeball. Our brain interprets the signals it receives from the eyeball and tells us what we are looking at.

Gustatory input (taste): Our taste cells react to food and beverages. They tell us about flavours, texture and temperature. They are clustered in the mouth, tongue and throat and receive five specific tastes – salty, sweet, bitter, sour and umani (savory).

Tactile input (touch): Our tactile system helps us to understand the important sensations of pressure, texture, hot and cold, and pain. This includes discriminating between light touch and firm touch, and textures from dry to wet and messy. Our tactile system is also associated with bonding and relationships.

Hearing input (auditory): We receive auditory input through our ears to gauge whether they are important or just part of our everyday, as well as where they come from, how close they are, and whether we’ve heard them before.

Olfactory input (smell): The sensory receptors in our nose pick up information about the odours around us. They pass that information along a channel of nerves to the brain. The power of smell can be underestimated. It is strongly linked to emotion and memory (neurobiological) and therefore can trigger unexpected trauma reactions.

Vestibular input (balance): These receptors are in the inner ear and stimulation occurs through any change in position, direction or movement of the head. Vestibular input contributes to our sense of body position in space, posture and muscle tone, the maintenance of a stable visual field, bilateral co-ordination, a sense of equilibrium/balance and gravitational awareness.

Proprioceptive input (movement): This system is in our muscles, tendons, ligaments and joint receptors. It tells us where our body is in space and detects and controls force and pressure. It helps us to feel grounded and know where we are and what we are doing.

Interoceptive input (internal): Sometimes called the hidden sense, the interoceptive system gives us the ability to feel what is happening inside our body. It plays a role in influencing emotions and sense of wellbeing and detects changes in our internal state. These include hunger and fullness, thirst, body temperature, heart and breathing rates, social touch, muscle tension, itch, nausea, sleepiness and more.”

“We believe in something when we doubt it. When there is no doubt, we say we 'know'. A person that has experienced terrible burns shall never say: 'I believe fire is hot'.” “I don't believe... I know.

-Carl Jung, founder of a neopsychoanalytic school, on the question of belief in 'god'..

Believe: 1 a : to have a firm religious faith b : to accept as true 2 : to have a firm conviction 3 : to hold an opinion

Know : 1 a (1) : to perceive directly : have direct cognition of (2) : to have understanding of (3) : to recognize the nature of : DISCERN b (1) : to recognize as being the same as something previously known (2) to be acquainted or familiar with (3) : to have experience of 2 a : to be aware of the truth or factuality b : to have a practical understanding

Believing is holding an opinion. Knowing is to have direct experience, to understand, and to have a practical understanding of some concept. To further delineate the two different terms, it is important to realize that while one can "make- believe", one cannot "make-know".

Main Entry: [1]make-be·lieve

"pretending to believe"

One can pretend to believe, because in order to believe, one does not need factual knowledge. When you were a child, and "made believe" that you were a doctor, you didn't actually know how to be a doctor.

When one maintains in an argument: "I don't believe, I know", without actually possessing direct cognition of, or evidence for, their proposition, they are in fact doing one of two things:

1. Using a persuasive definition (i.e. one that is purposely misleading)

2. Lying.” By the way, standing up to a spouse or life partner regarding their cheating meant death so tolerating adultery was widespread in normalcy within organized crime! Sex should be free of all delusions, illusions, grooming, and buffoonery.

“Circle jerk: Group masturbation among men, usually sitting in somewhat of a circle formation. Daisy chain: A group of participants performs cunnilingus or fellatio on each other in a circular formation, permitting each participant to both give and receive oral sex simultaneously. Gang bang: A number of people are performing sex acts on one person, either in turn or at the same time. Threesome or three-way: Three people all having sexual relations, not necessarily simultaneously. Not to be confused with ménage à trois (literally, "household of three"). Foursome or four-way: Sex between four people. Not to be confused with ménage à quatre (literally, "household of four"). Double penetration: When a person is entered or penetrated in the vagina and/or anus by two people at the same time. This is usually when one person enters the anus while another enters the vagina; however, it also refers to two simultaneous penetrations in the same orifice. Spintrian: A term used by Suetonius to describe sexual group practices indulged in by the emperor Tiberius on Capri.[4] Monogamous group sex or same room sex (a.k.a. soft swapping): Couples engaging in sexual activity in the same room but in separate pairs, without any swapping of partners or other major sexual activity between couples. A sex party is a gathering at which sexual activity takes place. Sex parties may be organized to enable people to engage in casual sexual activity or for swinging couples or people interested in group sex to meet, but any gathering where sexual activity is anticipated can be called a sex party. There are a number of types of sex parties: Swinger party/gathering: A swinger party or partner-swapping party is a gathering at which individuals or couples in a committed relationship can engage in sexual activities with others as a recreational or social activity.[5] Swinger parties may involve various group sex activities. Partners can engage in penetrative sex, known as "full swap", or choose to "soft swap" in which they engage only in non-penetrative sex. New swinging couples often choose a soft swap before they are comfortable with a full swap, although many couples stay soft swap for personal reasons.[6] "Soft swinging" is when a couple engages in sexual activities with only each other while other couples perform sex acts in the immediate vicinity.[7] Technically this is a form of exhibitionism rather than "group sex" per se. Orgy: An orgy is a gathering where guests freely engage in open and unrestrained sexual activity or group sex; and a bunga bunga orgy is an orgy in which participants have sex underwater, such as in a swimming pool or a hot tub.[8]” Christ means inner beauty of all good people regardless of whether you believe or disbelieve; I don’t use Christ in the Religious Right way. Al of the organized crime syndicates that I referred to in this episode are: Italian Mafia, Mexican drug cartels, D.C. street crews, D.C. street gangs, the prison gangs, and the motorcycle gangs. The saying in organized crime was: “Your life’s clock is ticking.” The criminals would express their view of not being in the mood to keep certain people alive and asking if people want to be killed or not. My last detail about organized crime was that I was feared because I was considered good at war of words, public and private beat downs, and my physical prowess when it came to protecting oppressed persons.

“Personality Disorder: Personality—the fundamental characteristics of a person that influence thoughts and behaviors across situations and time—may be considered disordered if judged to be abnormally rigid and maladaptive. Although treated separately by some, the commonly used categorical schemes include them as mental disorders, albeit on a separate axis II in the case of the DSM-IV. A number of different personality disorders are listed, including those sometimes classed as eccentric, such as paranoid, schizoid and schizotypal personality disorders; types that have described as dramatic or emotional, such as antisocial, borderline, histrionic or narcissistic personality disorders; and those sometimes classed as fear-related, such as anxious-avoidant, dependent, or obsessive–compulsive personality disorders. Personality disorders, in general, are defined as emerging in childhood, or at least by adolescence or early adulthood. The ICD also has a category for enduring personality change after a catastrophic experience or psychiatric illness. If an inability to sufficiently adjust to life circumstances begins within three months of a particular event or situation, and ends within six months after the stressor stops or is eliminated, it may instead be classed as an adjustment disorder. There is an emerging consensus that personality disorders, similar to personality traits in general, incorporate a mixture of acute dysfunctional behaviors that may resolve in short periods, and maladaptive temperamental traits that are more enduring.[42] Furthermore, there are also non-categorical schemes that rate all individuals via a profile of different dimensions of personality without a symptom-based cutoff from normal personality variation, for example through schemes based on dimensional models.[43]” I saw people getting arrested, shoved into police vehicles, riding in law enforcement vehicles, raided, police raids, the batter ram raids of drug houses and brothels, indictments, prosecutions, thrown in prison, law enforcement gunning folks down, standoffs between criminals and law enforcement, sex scandals (some included pulpiteers), sex work scandals (some included pulpiteers),and police brutality. Disability hate crimes in words and actions, LGBTQIA+ hate crimes in words and actions, elderly hate crimes in words and actions, children hate crimes in words and actions, female (women and girls) hate crimes in words and actions, BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color) hate crimes in words and actions, those in poverty hate crimes in words and actions, and abuse survivor hate crimes in words and actions do exist in organized crime. Frenemies exist in organized crime just like Pilate and Herod, and Pharisees and Sadducees.
