“I had a good conversation with an old college friend yesterday, within our very diverse group of college friends, as we all still associate often. She is a Psychiatrist (PHD) dealing with Sociopaths’ and Psychopaths’ within our world.
I always enjoy her insights into our world of “saving wildlife and wild horses”. The fact is she is very interested in those who abuse these Wildlife and horses in general, and what is ongoing in Norther California as well as in other States, of Sociopath Behaviors within group settings. Almost like there is ongoing research over there, as Northern California very receptive and close to Research Availability — isn’t that interesting.
What I am discussing here is short, and to the point. The fact is these group derive their individual strength, so they suppose, from the group setting. Keep in mind, those of us that do have combat experience, i.e. Vietnam, and for myself and a couple of others in our group, we do know from experience, these types of supposed warriors in these types of group-settings are quite frankly cowards, as individuals and without guns — the complex of being with guns remains insecure at best, but good actors. These are the types of people many of us would refuse to take in the field under combat, as experience shows they turn and run when the shit starts to fly.
The general psychosis, in breaking these things down, is the fact that these types of groups (I already covered part of their demented behaviors in another post) do not function at the level of appropriate thinking and decision making dynamics. Bias and hate can be particular explanation, but over all, the larger the group, the more ignorant they become.
We can use the fact of 70 Wolves (whereas that covers the entire state of California, but the most out of these 70 wolves are in Northern California); whereas, they do not wander in large groups, but often by themselves or a couple or three others around, within 4,500 square miles of Modoc County. This situation shows us clearly the deranged elements of the mind sets in those who live in that country, as fine examples of dysfunctional mind sets.
Yes, to state Rod Sterling has written about people like this, in the Twilight Zone, he knew crowd behaviors quite well, and often, eventually, neighbors that turn against neighbors. Keep in mind the Wolves are merely the rouse, or step one of an evolution of psycho-parasitic behaviors to come.
Cowards (non-clinical terms) often find, when individual decisions have to be made, that extraordinary situations of abuse, of harming others, develops, to hide their “actions” of what they perhaps found out about themselves — within the superficial context of dysfunction they are operating within.
My suggestion, as well as mental-health provider suggestions, are to simply leave the Wolves alone. A well defined perspective, obtained by science and credible research, tells us the Wolves in Modoc County are doing nothing, so there is serious, and well defined, conflicts in how they are being represented by those who simply fear them.” — John Cox, M.A. C/M
