Nothing to lose

I was reading a NY Post feature on comedian Adam Carolla.  Some may have heard of it because he controversially alleged that women are not funny.  What I found more interesting (and relevant) was his discussion of his carefree early life of chaos, and how that has changed for him now that he has gotten successful:

Q: While working construction in LA, you once had to talk down a guy with a gun. What went through your mind?

A: If you don’t have that much to lose, you don’t really worry about that. Now that I have a nice house and some cars and a family, the notion of being in a situation like that is horrifying. But if you’re heading downtown to get some free government cheese, then going back to watch your black-and-white TV, and you’re an alcoholic, you don’t wanna get shot, but it’s almost a lateral move.

This idea of the inherent freedom in having nothing to lose reminded me of something that Hervey Cleckley said in his book Mask of Sanity:

By some incomprehensible and untempting piece of folly or buffoonery, he eventually cuts short any activity in which he is succeeding, no matter whether it is crime or honest endeavor. At the behest of trivial impulses he repeatedly addresses himself directly to folly. In the more seriously affected examples, it is impossible for wealthy, influential, and devoted relatives to place the psychopath in any position, however ingeniously it may be chosen,where he will not succeed eventually in failing with spectacular and bizarre splendor. Considering a longitudinal section of his life, his behavior gives such an impression of gratuitous folly and nonsensical activity in such massive accumulation that it is hard to avoid the conclusion that here is the product of true madness - of madness in a sense quite as real as that conveyed to the imaginative layman by the terrible word lunatic.With the further consideration that all this skein of apparent madness has been wovenby a person of (technically) unimpaired and superior intellectual powers and universally regarded as sane, the surmise intrudes that we are confronted by a serious and unusual type of genuine abnormality.

I started thinking, maybe this nothing-to-lose principle is one of the reasons that sociopaths traditionally self destruct after a certain degree of success, in addition to other more obvious things like need for stimulation. Maybe they don't like success because it means they have more to lose, and so less freedom in a way.  Interestingly, Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen has suggested that companies who have made it big on innovative technology typically fall behind because they are unwilling to take the same sorts of risks that characterized their initial successes.

  3. Anyway, after actually reading the post..

    I can relate to that, I suppose. But I'd say a sociopath doesn't do well with power because even though we want power, the process of getting it is infinitely more interesting. What do you do with power once you have it? Use it to get whatever you want without actually doing anything. ...so what do you do now that you've nothing to do? I'd also say that I'd be full well willing to risk it all just to have something to do again. But my mind might change if I actually had a nice situation in front of me. Who can say?

  4. Yeah that's how it is. I always thought I would die around twenty so I really didn't care. Everything after I got out of prison to me was time added. In the end it all turned out right and we are living a life unimaginable to people our age. If you see how we act and what we do day to day you would think we were lazy failures but in reality we are more successful than anyone we know our age.

    Bollocks. I do my job and she understands that. I'm providing for her and our family. I don't take my work home and she is separated from my business. Don't act like you know anything about my world. From your perspective every soldier will come home and murder their wife. That;s far from the truth.


    who do you think you are? walter white from breaking bad? you ain't providing for no family, your doing this shit for you and you only, this ain't about no wife, this aint about no providing. this is about power and your own needs.

    He protects me. And I know he can protect me against more people than anyone you've ever met. Imagine having a demon on your side.

    you are weak, you aint no better than monica and all those freaks if thats the real reason you are with him. why does he respect someone like you ? open your eyes lady, youre nothing to him, youre blind. he aint protecting you from nothing, hes gonna die someday with his drug bullshit and your codependant ass will be left alone, devastated by his death. Lets be real here, if you die, hes gonna get over you pretty fast, but will you ? your ready to risk your life for some protection ? what exactly is he protectin u from ? aliens ? any dude with money can offer you a nice house on the beach with the same protection

    3. Stop being fake. If you want to make statements just come out with your own name cunt. Don't try to hide your name behind some bollocks of aint and what not that you think can hide it. You used Your and Youre incorrectly and then correctly again you idiot. You tried to swap up writing styles but you can't stay consistent with your character you fucking knob. You shouldn't have used codependent either goober because some cunt that uses the word aint isn't going to be spouting off psychological diagnosis that she has used to describe herself in the past even though your character is supposed to be new. You are fucking up all over the place.

      You know nothing about our life. You want to play it safe and watch TV show fantasies about my life and make judgments you only sound like a fool. My wife is provided for lavishly. My family is secure. Most people in my country can't say the same and Im sure you can't either.

  6. This article really crystallized something for me. I have screwed up every academic and career opportunity set along my path through self-sabotage, although I did manage to salvage my academic record by manipulating my professors into changing my grades, years later. (There’s one for ya poptart)

    I’ve shamelessly made up ridiculous excuses for my absences (my grandmother died, my father went into a diabetic coma, LOL!), left right in the middle of major rushes after verbally decimating manager types, and repeatedly and not shown up for various jobs after accepting them, simply because I couldn’t be bothered.

    Each and time I have self-destructed spectacularly, it is because I felt that my freedom was being restricted, whether it be through a schedule or someone else’s expectations or demands. This is true both interpersonally and professionally. Owning my own business has been a godsend.

    I see your had one of your periodic altercations. SW has been quiet, of late. The Forum seems to hold the rascals, while the big people talk, downstairs ha ha

    At any rate, I come with a purpose. One of your denizens asked a question which I thought was worth taking time from my Saturday( at the Jag dealer) to answer. The question was "Why would Monica come to SW when it is filled with people who will humiliate her?" I endeavor to answer, and in doing so, hope to offer answers to others who will relate to the complex mechanism which I will explain. It is the defense mechanism of Splitting. Eden, feel free to take any of my big words and put them in your theo. We, shrinks, do talk in a puffed up way ha ha

      There are some defense mechanisms which are more subconscious than others. Reaction Formation and Splitting are two that fall in this category. SW is full of both. I hope to offer some assistance to all of you, as you will see both in play as you watch the interactions between you.

    2. Dr Eric Foemtile PhDJune 30, 2012 at 6:05 AM

      Splitting is when a person "splits" off a part of himself. It could be any part on the whole personality spectrum. I will confine myself to two of the prevalent ways people split on SW.

      Many of the denizens split off the weak part of themselves. Monica( and "victims") splits off the strong part of herself. At any rate, both groups i.e the weak and the strong are both Splitting

      Delete
    3. Dr Eric Fomentile PhDJune 30, 2012 at 6:07 AM

      The problem with Splitting comes in that it does not work. If one could split parts of themselves off with NO ensuing consequences, that would be one thing, but there are events that happen in the lives of people that are a direct result of the splitting.

      Delete
    4. Dr Eric Fomentile PhDJune 30, 2012 at 6:10 AM

      To make it really simple, a person who has split off the weak parts of himself such as his vulnerability will hate it when he sees it in others. He will jump on it when he sees another person being weak. I hate to name names but UKan is a perfect example of this, as are many of the little rascals on the Forum.

    5. Monica has split off the strong part of herself, so she is looking to find that. UKan needs to find the weak part of himself for him to be whole and not delusional, as he, obviously, is. However, he does not have a good prognosis, to my trained eye.

      Monica, on the other hand, is forcing herself to pull on her inherent strength by going to the very people she was forced to live with i.e. an abusive mother.

      Good work, Monica.
      At any rate, any splitting can only be healed by forcing oneself to go to the hated place within oneself. With Monica, it is her victimhood. With UKan, it is his abusiveness.

      They are both opposite sides of the same coin, Folks. They are equally dysfunctional. They are equally sick, if you want to say that. They just manifest differently, at the tip of the iceberg.

      Below the surface, you have the same mess, Friends.

      Well, Saturday calls. I hope I have been of service.
      Thank you ME for allowing me to be a part of your fine blog.

    15. "They are both opposite sides of the same coin, Folks. They are equally dysfunctional. They are equally sick, if you want to say that. They just manifest differently, at the tip of the iceberg."

      What an interesting thing to say, Eric. Your brother Frank seemed to think Monica was perfectly stable.
      Now, you're contradicting his assessment by saying she is equally as "sick" as UKan?

      Why do you bother trying, Monica? You can't hide. You don't have the talent,and you're too predictable. You do this every single time I expose your delusions for what they really are.

    18. You must have worked on this essay really hard too. Not as hard as you worked on that 4 page essay you did, trying to "diagnose" me. Tell me something Doctor Monica, is it common practice for shrinks to come on a blog, and lie about someone asking them to diagnose them in public?

    26. Ok Eden
      I will tell you what I admire about you and what I don't. I will continue as I think of more.
      Admire
      Pulled yourself up and made a profession for yourself. You made your own business, at which you are successful

      Don't admire
      Are not an independent thinker

      Admire
      You are not afraid of life

      Don't admire
      You show your sexuality, but not your heart and soul. I find this to be sad.

      Admire
      You seem to love your children

      Don't Admire
      I don't think you have good sense with them and expose them to things which will hurt their innocence( and don't seem to realize it)

      Delete
    27. Ok Monica, and I will point to the things that are delusional, because it's what you need to believe, not because it's true.

      Example Number One: Don't admire
      Are not an independent thinker

      Delete
    28. P.S. Love how you're not willing to give full credit about my love for my children by saying "seem to".
      Why would you admire someone for "seeming" to love their children?

      Delete
    29. What is Independent Thinking?

      The Oxford Unabridged Dictionary offers many definitions of "independent," including "not depending on the authority of others" and "not dependent on others for forming an opinion." Making up your own mind, in other words. But what does that really mean? Does it mean forming an opinion without input from others? No, of course not, otherwise we "reinvent the wheel" every time we make a decision. We all need relevant information and data on which to base our opinions. It's the way that we seek information and how we apply it that makes us dependent or independent thinkers. If we uncritically accept whatever values or ideas we've been taught by parents, teachers or church, never questioning these ideas or asking ourselves if these ideas really make sense, then we are dependent thinkers (even if the ideas are true!).

      Delete
    30. Ok Here is what I mean by independent thinker. It is someone who can stand up and be who he is, from his gut and sense of self. UKan can do this, although he is delusional. He will stand up and be who he is. That is an independent thinker, to me. I don't like Ukan or admire much about him, but I do admire this about him. I admire some other things, too, but there are plenty of things I don't.

      I think Post is an independent thinker. I think Haven is, I think. I don't know her that well. She seems to be.


      Medusa is, a great deal of the time, not all. It is hard to be one all the time.
      Alter ego is an independent thinker, too, although her thinking process can be fuzzy, sometimes when she tries to answer people who are just trying to fuck with her, and doesn't realize it.

      There are degrees of it, but I see you as low on this, Eden.

      Delete
    31. Tell me why that is Monica. Give me hard evidence of my dependent thinking. You are so desperate to believe this about me... I want to see you prove it. You might want to bust out some quotes of mine that prove it too.

      Tell me who I've been depending on my whole life to think for me.

      Delete
    32. Your debating skills suck, and could use some serious improvement, so I'm not going to make this easy for you. I want you to brake me down in as much detail as you can muster.

      I really want you to pull a strong case on this one because it is my strong belief that you only say I can't think for myself to devalue me. Not because it's the truth.

      And when you're done, I will give you my rebuttal. Because I also believe I have strong evidence to that will contradict your claim that I show very low degrees of Independence thought.

      Delete
    33. I also think that you say I don't have independent thought in order to cancel out all those so-called things you admire about me.

      The street kid that pulled herself up out of homelessness, to go on to successfully own her own business, and financially support two children on her own, BUT not because she can think for herself.

    34. I just lost my post. I have to go out :D
      I will post, later.

      Delete
    35. Right... you have to go out just when I challenged you to do a better job of staking your claim. How convenient. Like always.

      Delete
    36. I have to take a shower and go out and I want to express it right. It is rooted in your not knowing your own emotions, enough, so people can lead you. I really do have to go and I want to approach this thoughtfully, too xx

      Delete
    37. Bullshit, you're running away, and you don't know the first thing about what is deeply rooted in me. You can't even see your own fucking self. When you come back, you're just going to repeat the same weak statements that you always repeat, because you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

      All you know is: Monica wants to lead EVERY group she's in, and Eden won't submit to her.

      You won't make me your follower by trying to convince me that I can't think for myself, Monica. That shit s=doesn't work on me.

      My father started trying to get me to believe that I had a very bad memory, and that I block out traumatizing experiences. He repeated that to me often, from the time I was 3. Didn't seem to work out for him did it?

      And it's not going to work for me either. You won't be able to control me, Monica. Not ever. You are not the leader in this group. You should probably leave.

      Delete
    38. I'll say that again. You are not a leader here.

      How does that make you feel?

      Delete
    39. How does it feel not to be able to manipulate an entire group of people into sympathizing with you? Especially the woman you envy.

      Delete
    40. It is your black and white thinking that is preventing you from seeing the truth here. You HAVE to see thing on terms of leader vs. followers. Everything has to be an absolute.

      Were you up in the forum when absolutely everyone here was basically telling me that I was an idiot to believe in the benefits of fasting? That includes UKan, who you claim I follow. I stood my ground, and still firmly believe that it works. No one one can deter me from that... not matter how much scientific evidence they stack up against me.

      That's how much I believe in my own life experience.

      I know you were there because you keep track of me everything I do on this blog, don't you?

      Delete
    41. This is what you do in your interactions with Raven, Monica. Exactly what you said 'spot on' to the other day. Exactly what your mother did with you.

      "... they destroy the ‘object’ that elicits these emotions.

      * A damaged object diminishes envy since the object no longer has qualities worth possessing. .."

      Delete
    42. And I will add that I admire Raven. I don't feel the need to pick apart her character to decide if there are flaws in there that should get the big red X next to them along with the few ticks she has earned.

      You try to devalue her constantly because you admire her too. The envy fuels what is almost an obsession. You bring her name up almost every day. No one does that with someone they have dismissed as white trash.

      Delete
    43. "Admire
      You are not afraid of life"

      I think this says it all. This is what she envies most.

    47. Eden, I want to punch you in the face because you are so defensive when I am trying to answer your question, but I will force myself not to react, in kind.
      Yes, you can stand up about the fasting. You can stand up when you KNOW your own mind. However, you don't know your own mind/emotions enough so a loser like Kany who has the sense of a fucking flat tire, can wind you around her finger.

      You have to know your own emotions or you will need a "stronger" person to give you marching orders.

      Tonight is date night, I have to go :D

      Delete
    48. That was weak and you know it. You Will never be able to prove your theory that I don't have a mind of my own, Monica. Because it's not true. And you're jealousy over MK, or UKan, or anyone else I have a lot of fun with one here, is not change the truth.

      Now you're saying I don't know my own emotions? How can you possibly know that? So now you're dismissing my prove because you disapprove of my choice in company.

      Monica that isn't proof at all. So you don't like who I hang out with on SW, how does that prove I can't think for myself.

      Try again.

      Delete
    49. "You have to know your own emotions or you will need a "stronger" person to give you marching orders."

      What the fuck is this about? Another devalue?

    51. I think we can put this to bed. Nothing else you could possibly come up with will be based on fact.
      You aren't capable of putting up a descent argument to prove your case against me.

      You envy me Monica. Plain and simple. Nothing you say will change the truth about me. I am a very independent thinker. It's what saved my life, while you still remain trapped in your victim hood. I am also very strong. There isn't a person who can come from what I have, and end up where I am, without a strong mind and will.

      So you go on and suffer your envy of me, Monica. No matter how much you try to devalue me in your mind, it won't save you from that narcissistic trap you're in.

  17. UKan gives off an impression of a malignant narcissist. He makes up truly pathetic excuses for attacking people, for his own fun,ha! From what I've seen he attempts to tear people down whenever they don't agree with him, vindicative, childish and petty revenge. He has to be the omnipresent figure controlling everything, and pulling all the strings. Whoever doesn't fit his 'agenda', or is some kind of threat, gets immediately verbally assaulted and is subject to attempts of discreditation, any form of it. You seem so proud of being a sociopath, have to tell about all the mischief you caused and how destructive you were. Almost as if you need to prove you're one. Look at your job choice, you love seeing people getting hooked, it earns you money you say, but it also gives you the satisfaction of feeling superior to them. So much projection, so many posts, you have to be seen and heard, Big Brother of SW.

I don’t think he’s a bad guy, but he comes across as uncomfortable in his own skin."

  22. I like mask of sanity too. Well, sociopaths are pretty daring and reckless in some ways generally right? That's just happening regardless of "level of success"?

    "Maybe they don't like success because it means they have more to lose, and so less freedom in a way"

    But don't sociopaths quite like success? The whole winning thing? To create some effective mask and to get what they want. You call sociopaths "they", but don't you identify as one ME?
