I think Schizoid is a term that should be used very carefully. It's so easy to label each imaginative and creative person that doesn't fit in with the norm "schizo" and be done with it, as if it's just another illness. There is obviously a line between the general creative person and the so called schizo, and if the person hasn't lost touch with reason, I don't think it's apt to be labeled that way.

People here misuse the word schizoid. Schizoids are schizopathic, psychologically fragmented, connected to psychopathy. Autism is psychological consolidation. The kind of self-awaredness you'd find in the Legend of the 10 Elemental Masters. People here conflate and mismatch traits regarding these two psychological profiles, of the autistic mind and the schizopathic mind. This is how meme-labels become popular; by ignoring the meaning of words and their definitions.


>Psychopathy is a complex and pathological cluster of interpersonal, affective, lifestyle, and antisocial personality traits. Schizotypal personality is also highly complex, pathological and refers to disorganized, cognitive, perceptual, and avoidant or avolitional features which have been conceptualized in several ways, including as a specific vulnerability for schizophrenia and as a constellation of personality traits. Some evidence has suggested psychopathy may co-occur with schizotypal personality or that specific aspects of the disorders may correlate. Although several correlates have been identified, one important correlate of both psychopathy and schizotypy is violence, and both have been implicated as valid predictors of violence and aggression.

A lot of these are very similar anyway. They are relatively related and reside mostly in Cluster A personality disorders. Of course, most disorders arise from anxiety, which is a fear. From there it all depends on how your body reacts to the anxiety, and how it attempts to mitigate the stress.

High functioning Schizoaffective is possibly one of the worst mental illnesses you can have. It’s just most symptoms of schizophrenia and all the symptoms of either major depression or bipolar disorder. Being high functioning is generally a blessing but sometimes not; you’ll be perfectly fine and acceptable socially for an example, but in your head you are fighting delusional thoughts until you yield and the delusion takes hold. The lows that come with the depressive subtype are low. Lower than almost anything you can imagine.

I just got diagnosed as bipolar type 1 with psychotic features after I had a manic episode from Prozac. It was so bad that I crashed my car into a ditch going ninety (no major injuries, thankfully) and punched a police officer in the face afterwards. I was in jail for a while and then got sent to a mental institution, but after the manic episode was over I was completely fine and got sent back to jail (bonded out after a week). I’m now on a mood stabilizer and something for anxiety and feel fine. The police officer I hit still wants me to do a year in jail though :( pray for me frens

>I have no friends.
I avoid humans (irl) because I find myself convinced that they are forming forces against me. I can function well enough socially when I need to.
>odd beliefs
I have really elaborate polytheistic beliefs and I find myself speculating about being a lovecraftian horror instead of a human.
>odd speech
I speak is an formal manner with everyone and socially I am quite rigid.
>odd appearance
I don't understand this but people always tell me I look really weird. Part of it has to do the spiritual rituals I do.

Sounds a lot like me. I know there's something wrong with me but I also find it interesting/enjoyable to do introspective experiments so I thought schizotypical and schizoid could very well apply to me, and I was pretty satisfied with having some kind of idea about what could be causing my problems. However over the past few months I have become increasingly isolated from my friends taking pathetic and extreme measures to avoid them, isolated from my own obligations to my health and from society in general. For a long time I've been sitting and seeing things in the corner of my eye and checking with a knee jerk reaction, the same way I would become attentive if I heard a siren, but especially in the past few months when I lay in the dark I feel as though the things I see in the corner of my eye are real figures and I start to make out faces and weird contorted shapes like monsters hanging from my bookshelves, but when I shine the light on it its always just my jacket or some loose object. Started to freak out and think I might have some kind of onset schizophrenia, and its not really fun and interesting anymore but scary and annoying. All of the things you have stated apply to me especially the paranoid and adrenal obsession with meta and ontological ideas and the grandiosty/crushing self hatred dichotomy. Could just be extreme narcissism and hypochondriac though like other anon said.

The idea that IQ is racist towards blacks is laughable. One culturally insensitive test does not mean another is wrong. The Igbo race of Nigeria consistently scores high as Jews, who scored among the lowest when it came out in the 1930s but now score highest.

Also IMHO the Alzabo scenes from Book of the New Sun. If you have had to live with a schizophrenic, you know that it's more than just having a "split personality". It's more like an evil predator that uses the minds of your loved ones like a sockpuppet to lure you in.

Thanks! Drucker is based and Edward Demming is as well. That was written in the 70s, yet the article feels so modern. We attribute the Japanese miracle to their race and the reality was that they did a 180, a warlike nation into a peaceful one (similar to how they transitioned after the Korean Japanese war of the 1500s or so for centuries of peace) because they took up Western ideas about management and engineering. The truth is Japan followed these two westerners and created companies like Sony. Demming taught them quality control, which wasted less, had better yields, easier to manufacture, higher quality, less returns and customer satisfaction. Hence the Japanese miracle.

Most people on 4chan who self-identify as schizoids most likely have a combination of being on the spectrum, avoidant personality, social anxiety/social phobia, general anxiety disorder and whatever else.
Schizoid personality disorder is very shoddy anyway, even in the DSM-5, and it's probably going to get replaced by something else given how difficult to diagnose it is.

Virile topics spread up the chain, triggering a group event of heightened focus on said topics where the concepts are digested and fed through the novelty/based—contagion/contested—calcification/cringe pipeline as a plume of theory shoots up through the network, always novel at its bleeding edge and calcified in its wake: a linguimemetic automaton bubbling up through the collective. Once the process is complete, calcification/hostility erodes and the concept has at last been successfully distributed, digested, and incorporated throughout the entire cultural system. we’ve seen the same thing happen with respect to Autism, solipsism, and inner monologue

Along similar lines, I deeply believe that the staying power of memes like Wojak is at least partly attributable to its acceleration or "lubrication" of that very process
Wojak has, to varying levels and increasingly as time has passed, acted as a catalyst for these cognition events and appears to play a role in optimizing their distribution, almost like semiotic myelin sheath
Consider the number of wojak variations that have coincided with these processes:
>NPC wojak along with the inner monologue boom and other swells of interest in topics related to the hard problem of consciousness
>high IQ/brainlet wojaks along with increased interest in IQ
>boomer/zoomer wojaks along with increased sensitivity towards generational psychology
>coomer wojak along with heightened skepticism towards pornography and masturbation
>doomer wojak along with increased recognition of introverted/disordered personality traits correlating with "blackpill" ideology and unhealthy forum usage in late-teens-to-late-twenties young men
Wojak assumes the physical form of the concepts we discuss, becoming a visceral symbol capable of quick and visual referral to the memetic body being explored. On a purely physical/individual level this massively cuts down the communicative labor necessary to transmit the meme, while also more easily inciting interest in those not already familiar with the ideas in question. On a grand scale, this makes Wojak an image that this brain constantly refers to, compares itself against, relates to, experiments with, as it deepens its understanding of its studies. Being heavily decentralized by nature, within 4chan Wojak almost acts as the analog to a human brain's developed concept of the potential self

Very interesting idea. As humans we always gravitate towards extremes and don't like moderation. It sounds boring, non radical and hardly makes good news/clickbait. This is very common in politics for instance and how many goods are kosher despite most people are not Jewish. It is called the dictatorship of the small minority. Most people don't care if their food is kosher but some companies make it all kosher to appeal to the small minority, the virile topics, the outlandishly radical forms which distribute through the public consciousness.

Demands in politics include Bernie or nothing, Trump or nothing causing them to be popular. Demands in sexual revolution in the LGBT rights were primarily dealing with gay rights, in which a minority of homosexual men has affected trans right (all countries with gay rights have transgender rights because they often treat them as gay men) and the idea of free love and sex is tied to gay nonmonogamy. This minority was served by Grindr, copied by tinder, and now buried in the public conciseness is the idea of free sex for everyone, gay culture which has become a hyperreality.
