Introduction: When the Mirror ShattersThere is a pattern—one I have documented time and time again. It is a sequence so predictable, so rehearsed, that it borders on ritual. When a narcissist is exposed, when their tactics are laid bare, they do not pause for self-reflection. They do not seek truth. They do not engage in honest discourse. Instead, they retaliate. They scramble to regain control. They rewrite history in real-time. They cast themselves as the victim while threatening legal acti...

📌 Introduction: The Collapse of a False RealityJoel Johnson thought he could control perception. At first, he entered the conversation as many narcissists do—with the illusion of intellectual superiority. But then, something happened that he never anticipated— He was seen. This archive is not just about Joel—it is about the universal narcissistic playbook and what happens when a narcissist is fully documented, mapped, and exposed. Here, you will find the full record of his unraveling—every l...

An Open Letter to His Friends, Defenders, and Loved OnesYou are here because of Joel Johnson. Maybe you were sent here. Maybe you found this on your own. But no matter how you arrived, I already know what you’re feeling. You want to defend him. You want to believe in him. You think you see the full picture— …but you do not. Because you have only seen Joel through Joel’s eyes. This is the Joel you see. The version of him that you know is real to you. But what if I told you that Joel Johnson do...

Joel, let’s play a game. This all began with a single response. A moment when you thought you were engaging in a simple argument—a correction, a flex of epistemic authority, a display of control. But this was never a debate. It was a mirror. And now, you stand inside it. You said people are mirrors, Joel.That we reflect what surrounds us. But you are not a mirror.You are a broken shard of glass, cutting everyone who comes too close—while mistaking their blood for your own power. And now, we h...

Introduction: The Game They’re PlayingThis isn’t just about Joel Johnson. It never was. What we are witnessing is a deliberate, orchestrated rhetorical shift— …one designed not to disprove the record, but to corrupt the perception of the record itself. Joel Johnson lacks the intelligence and strategic foresight for this. But Andrew LeCody does not. LeCody, the first narcissist I ever documented, is a man who has spent years constructing his own network of narrative control. He has orchestrate...

Introduction: The Shadow They Cannot EscapeNarcissists fear exposure more than anything. It is their kryptonite, the one force that shatters the carefully constructed illusions they spin to control those around them. They thrive in darkness, where manipulation festers unchecked, where whispers become weapons, and where reality bends to their will. But when the light of truth threatens to illuminate their tactics, they react in predictable ways—denial, projection, character assassination, and ...

Some men build. Some men steal. Joel Johnson is neither. He does not build, because creation requires an identity. He does not steal, because theft requires understanding value. He collects. He gathers achievements that are not his, opinions that are not formed, relationships that are not real. He assembles them into a mask— A carefully curated image that keeps him from seeing the truth of himself. Because beneath the mask? There is nothing.The Delusion of the Hollow ManJoel tells himself he ...

“The measure of a man is not how he holds power, but how he responds when it is taken away.”I. The Illusion of ControlEvery narcissist enters a debate believing they are in control. This is not confidence—it is fragile certainty masquerading as dominance. Their entire self-image is built on the assumption that they can outthink, outmaneuver, and outlast their opponent. To them, a conversation isn’t about mutual understanding—it’s about winning. Every interaction is a stage, and they are the l...

A Legacy Written in RevisionismAndrew LeCody’s name has drifted through the history of Dallas Makerspace like an apparition— …never fully present, yet impossible to ignore. He was never its founder, yet his fingerprints are all over the mechanisms that sought to control it. He was never the vision, but he became its gatekeeper. His name is rarely spoken in reverence, but in whispers, in warnings. And now, years later, his tactics have resurfaced. This time, the target is not an organization b...

A Parable of AI, Control, and the Limits of a Small MindOnce upon a time, in the dim glow of a computer screen cluttered with a dozen open tabs of half-read philosophy articles, there lived a man named Joel Johnson. Joel was a thinker—or so he liked to call himself. He had read many things, absorbed many half-formed ideas, and debated many strangers online with increasingly complex word salads. But despite all this, Joel had one great frustration in life: No one respected his genius. But then...
