Neutralizing Narcissism: The Immutable EditionEgo Death: When the Narcissist’s Mask Cracks
The ego death of a narcissist is not like the spiritual dissolution sought by monks or psychedelic wanderers. It is not transcendence. It is not enlightenment. It is terror. It is obliteration. It is the death of the illusion they spent their entire lives constructing. When a narcissist is exposed, when the world sees them for what they truly are, when they can no longer control the narrative— …something breaks. And in that break, the fragile scaffolding of their identity begins to collapse i...
Neutralizing Narcissism: The Immutable EditionMapping the Narcissist: How Intellectual Manipulation Plays Out in Real Time
Introduction: The Dance of ControlThere’s a moment in every debate with a narcissist where the game becomes visible—where the illusion of good faith discourse shatters, and what’s left is a desperate struggle for control. These moments are easy to miss if you don’t know what to look for. But once you do? You see the pattern everywhere. This article is about one such moment. It began with what appeared to be a genuine conversation—an intellectual exchange about AI, meaning, and consciousness. ...
Neutralizing Narcissism: The Immutable EditionJoel Johnson: A Case Study in Narcissistic Collapse
Introduction: The Digital Disintegration of a NarcissistNarcissistic collapse has long been a theoretical and clinical phenomenon, observed in cases where individuals suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) face an overwhelming threat to their carefully constructed false self (Kernberg, 1975; Kohut, 1977). However, the digital age has introduced a new challenge for narcissists—permanence. In a world where online interactions are recorded, analyzed, and archived, traditional nar...

📝 Company: The Internet’s Bureau of Truth Management™
📍 Location: Your Mom’s Basement (Remote)
💰 Salary: Zero dollars, but unlimited dopamine hits from false superiority
⏳ Hours: 24/7 Vigilance (Mandatory)
Are you a deeply insecure individual with a relentless need to control narratives? Do you dream of a career in investigative journalism but lack the credibility, ethics, or talent? Then we have the perfect unpaid position for you!
As a Discreditation Specialist, you’ll work tirelessly to scour Mark Havens' posts, articles, and case studies across multiple platforms, desperately searching for anything that can be twisted, flagged, or misrepresented.
✅ Obsession Required: Regularly refresh his Substack, Medium, Facebook, and Linktree in the hopes that this time you’ll find something truly damning.
✅ Creative Outrage Generation: Manufacture new ways to be offended by words that were never about you (until you made them about you).
✅ Flagging & Reporting: Selectively enforce Terms of Service violations that you yourself probably commit on a regular basis.
✅ Historical Revisionism: If past posts contradict your narrative, simply pretend they never existed. If necessary, gaslight the author about his own words.
✅ Threaten Legal Action (Without Understanding How Law Works): Send vague, ominous DMs about “papers being filed” and “consequences coming.” Bonus points if you use “we” instead of “I” to imply an invisible army of supporters.
✅ Accuse, But Never Engage in Debate: Remember, your job is not to win arguments—it’s to create the illusion of scandal!
❌ No actual critical thinking skills necessary
❌ Must have a personal vendetta against facts
❌ Experience in projection, DARVO, and playing the victim preferred
❌ Proven ability to lose debates but still insist you’ve won
❌ Ability to say “You’re obsessed with me” while simultaneously monitoring everything Mark does
💵 Salary: None. Not a single cent. In fact, you will be increasing Mark’s visibility for free.
📈 Career Growth: Absolutely none, unless you count the dopamine rush from getting a single comment liked by another bitter, self-important contrarian.
🤡 Job Perks:
The illusion of control.
A sense of self-importance that will collapse in on itself like a dying star.
The fleeting satisfaction of pressing “Report” on a post that will ultimately remain standing.
Knowing deep down that you’ve dedicated your time to helping the very person you wish to destroy.
Just keep doing what you’re doing, Joel. You’re already overqualified.
