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...

The story Substack doesn’t want you to read—hosted permanently on blockchain.
Chris Best built Substack as a haven for independent voices.
He promised protection for journalists against censorship, suppression, and bad-faith actors.
He even launched Substack Defender, a program to legally support journalists under attack.
But today, Substack has a problem—and that problem is Joel Johnson.
Joel Johnson, a marketing and PR strategist with a history of reputation management, found the cracks in Substack’s defenses.
🔹 He gamed the system.
🔹 He exploited AI-driven moderation.
🔹 He filed false reports to erase investigative journalism.
And Substack?
They let him do it.
🚨 Our investigative reports were taken down with no warning.
🚨 Our appeals were ignored.
🚨 And even now—days later—our content remains erased.
If this can happen to us, what stops it from happening to Taylor Lorenz?
Any journalist who investigates the wrong person?
It doesn’t stop. Not unless Substack fixes this.
Journalists came to Substack because they believed in its promise of protection.
But if Substack Defender can’t defend us, then we will defend ourselves.
🔗 We are moving this investigation to blockchain.
🔗 It will live forever on Mirror.xyz and Paragraph.xyz.
🔗 It cannot be erased, no matter how many false reports are filed.
If Substack will not stand up for journalists, then journalists will find a platform that will.
Chris, this is your moment.
🚀 You built Substack for moments like this.
🔥 You promised to stand against censorship.
📌 You cannot let bad actors dictate what remains online.
🛑 Will you investigate this takedown?
🛑 Will you restore the content that was wrongfully removed?
🛑 Or will Substack become just another platform that rewards deception?
We see you.
We see the crossroads.
And we see the choice you must make.
The world is watching.

Demand accountability.
🚨 Because if this can happen to us—
…it can happen to anyone.
This isn’t just a story.
This is a battle for truth itself.
And we will not be erased.
