Many have been thrown under the bus as an example to others. But, not for what they have said. Rather, to instill fear, generally. This is rampant in today's 'woke', agenda-driven world; in fact, that is the whole intent, oftentimes. It's part of the drive towards censorship, especially self-censorship. Freedom of speech is in the crosshairs, along with freedom of peaceful protesting, freedom of movement, etc., etc.

Your point about tolerance is so valid. And, to quash free speech would be to make tolerance, as a concept, moot. Thanks, Todd. Great piece.

Re your opinion about not being cyborgs ... yet: but this IS the agenda, to aspire to being a non-human cyborg, whose behaviour is first and foremost performative, and we will be increasingly punished and persecuted for every failure to live up to this humorless, rigid, judgmental, and irrational standard until we do become - at least as observable from the outside - cyborgs in word, deed and, sadly, thought.

Absolutely, that is the goal, as it was with the Trilateral Commission in 1973. Transhumanism has always been at the forefront of the agenda.

If you haven't already, check out my article on CS Lewis and his book "That Hideous Strength"...this idea of cyborg/death of nature/transhumanism has been around for a while.

Hi again, Dr. Hayen. I've been very curious about intimate insights into the general mental state of people since the provably-planned "pandemic", particularly coming from experience within the mental health profession. Though off the particulars of this topic, this post on human nature seems like an appropriate one to place this question/comment in finally.

Those who fell fully COVID propaganda agenda (the majority), their doing so provided a litmus test that we've never had the opportunity to so fully experience in my lifetime. For that, I've been thankful, ironically, as it revealed the absolute core of their natures, and separated out the real and true from the false, providing a much deeper appreciation for some and disdain (to be honest) for many others. So, my question is what has been your general observation on humanity post-pandemic? Are you seeing a noteworthy awakening progressing from "level 0" to "level 1" at least, or are we dealing with fundamentals of human nature and mental capacity that are unlikely to ever be overcome?

I fear that the world will, yet again, fall for the next inevitable plandemic-like campaigns, whatever those may be next time. Such things will be coming again, because too much additional infrastructure is increasingly being built since 2020 for it not to occur. The elite planners - the corporate-State, medical & military industrial complexes, NGO-type. totalitarian sovereignty-superseding machinery that runs the global show will create their markets and engineer society as they see fit. I suppose you really can't blame the elite in a world of uselessly eating sheep, for someone has to direct them somewhere. The only question is how successful they will be in achieving their transhumanist neo-feudalistic goals.

According to my own anecdotal experience, coupled with my readings and research, I am not very optimistic regarding our immediate future. I think there is a greater resolve amongst those of us who are fully "on side" and were before Covid, as well as amongst newcomers who have always been sceptical but not yet fully believing the enormity of what confronts us. But I personally have not seen much movement within the rank and file human population.

Many people disagree with me on this observation, and say they have been encouraged by the low compliance rates on the most recent Covid vaccines, as well as a general disgruntledness regarding the "woke" restrictions, mandates, and "expectations" levied on the masses. Unfortunately the people who are making waves regarding all of this are the ones who have always made waves, albeit smaller ones in the past. And unfortunately again, they are not the majority.

I see a lot of different people in my practice, and I would say there is a tiny percentage who have just started to "wonder about some of this"...but not very many. If there are fewer complying to the jab, it is because, in my opinion, they see no real reason for it, they are lazy, or just apathetic. People are basically in the same spot they were before the pandemic. IMHO.

People in general are just not interested in what goes on around them. Most people I see haven't read more than 5 books in their lives, if that, they do not delve deeply into much of anything other than maybe ways to make more money. They have no hobbies, no interests, are curious about practically nothing. All in all they are decent people. They are kind, thoughtful, and fall easily into the "save the world with your own blood letting" trap the agenda lures them into ("don't be selfish, get the shot") But they just don't have the interest to pull the veil back and reveal the wizard...see "The Matrix"...of course I am sure you have.

I could be wrong, we'll see, but I believe since the agenda has once again gone a bit clandestine, we will see the blind follow the blind into CBDCs, Digital IDs, UBIs, Climate Change mandates, restricted travel, 15 minute cities, and future mask-wearing, arm jabbing, pandemics. Sad but true.

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. Your humble opinion matches my not so humble opinion 100%, it seems. I suppose I was looking for some hope, which may have been revealed in the kind of intimate conversations one has in your profession. I have been maintaining for a long time that we're not seeing an awakening as much as we're seeing a coming together of the millions who are awake, I'd estimate 5-10% of the population, up to around 20% if you add the lazy-minded semi-awakened.

For my money, insights coming from those within the field of psychology hold more water than any other realm, even though I do realize the field has been largely captured in the last few decades by idealogical and corporate-state agendas, much like medicine. So, thanks again. I appreciate your continued dedication in your work, which I know you've expressed some questioning if you could sustain it for various well-grounded reasons. Those like us can only do our best to continue to navigate around the growing madness, while the hordes continue to blindly walk the cliffs on the socially-engineered path of annihilation of self and society. Sounds dramatic, yet it's fact. And it helps much to be doing so in the company of great minds. Thank again.

For us, this is the greatest time to be alive. We are participating in the most important spiritual "war" humankind has ever seen. The hope we can all cling to is that it is a war with a definite outcome: good will prevail. It is just getting there that will be the challenge. The desperate aspect is how long will it take...

I totally agree with your observation regarding the "millions who are awake coming together." I do believe many more will awaken, and that awakening will indeed be what "wins the war." But as I said earlier, I don't really see that happening right now, and I feel we lead ourselves away from the work at hand if we lull ourselves into complacency thinking "all is going so well, we are winning, we are winning..."

The 100th monkey phenomenon could be at work here, so it could all flip very quickly (in a good direction) but I am not holding my breath...

Thank you for being here...please keep commenting and participating in this community, we need minds like yours!!

“An American white male, for example, will not have in his experience the generational trauma that an American black male will have had, and his recklessness may come in the form of subtle racism. Sixty years ago, he may have used the “n” word, particularly if he lived in a part of the country where he grew up hearing it often (even then, it was considered a very nasty word).”

Excellent Todd!

When in doubt about your relevance as a late middle aged white upper class Canadian male you can always start straight out with a wink and a hat tip to the woke of the world by kicking around some American white males for their world-renowned reputation as racists, that will make you relevant.

Mighty white of you!

What do you know about Canada’s history of segregation and discrimination?

Do you know anything about world history at all?

Have you ever heard of Apartheid?

Have you ever traveled beyond the borders of Canada?

Did you notice any discrimination in Europe just before you announced that you were not a racist white American male but woke Canadian instead?

When you are in the US do you ever wander out beyond the conference centers in big US Cities?

When you meet black and white Americans who introduce you to their black and white American friends and families, do you just say to yourself, “These are unique Americans who don’t seem to be the least bit concerned about skin color.” Has it ever dawned on you that you only know, “Unique non-racist Americans that just happen to live work and play with unique nonracist Americans of every color in the rainbow?”

Heads up! You’ve been propagandized again!

White American Males are marketed by the global media as the quintessential racists! There has been a worldwide propaganda campaign to divide Americans against each other, causing them to assume that they will be discriminated against in any situation where their skin color does not match the skin of those around them. Apparently there is too much cohesion and power in the melting pot of the world, the global powers that be, had to stamp out our strength. If not for this propaganda campaign, we would slide into the same scenario as we had when Irish immigrants were marrying into Native American tribes so prolifically that they turned entire swaths of Native Americans into red heads. Those damn racists white Irish could not stop enjoying the sovereignty and freedom of Native American culture and they made love to their native American spouses like they meant it. But, according to the propaganda, deep down inside they were more concerned about the skin color of their community than its freedom and its survival. (Hint: Sovereignty from the state was the problem)

Where do you draw the line on generational trauma Todd? Did you know that the United States happens to be the most waring nation on earth? Where do you think we get all of those soldiers for our killing fields? Every single day in this country we destroy the lives of predominantly white American males by subjecting them to the horrors and irreversible trauma of war.

Dr. Psychology, is there some magical generation when the generational memory for upheaval, rape, starvation and horror disappears?

Do you believe that only males pass down trauma?

Do you believe that the white mothers and white grandmothers of these “racist white males” that you refer to were completely free of enslavement, rape and beatings during that 150 year stint when we had black slaves (just like the rest of the world)?

What do you know about the “Nasty” “N word?” Have you traveled through the United states at all? How about Canada? Have you spent time with impoverished black communities in California? New York?

Here’s a head up, most black people across the US “sixty years ago” used the term Nigro and sometime Nigger to describe any person with brown skin. Seventy years ago, Nigro was part of every Americans vernacular. Sixty years ago, Nigro wasn’t a “Nasty” word.

If you are truly an “American White Male,” lets just assume such a creature exists (even though actual Americans were not white and more than half of them were not male) chances are you traveled to this continent as a white indentured servant to the Crown.

You can call out Americans for being racist and expect no backlash whatsoever because the world has been propagandized so thoroughly that saying, "Americans are racists" is like saying that "Oceans are blue."

We are the melting pot of the world. Go anywhere in the US and you will find neighbors of every color and ethnicity living side by side barrowing eggs from each other and helping each other get their cars started on cold days.

As an American, I have traveled to Asia, South America, North America, and all over Europe and I have never been anywhere as accepting of every race on Earth as right here at home, in my "Racist Flyover State," according to the global media.

Is there racism in the US? You betcha!

Is the US a relatively racist country?

Not even close.

Are you serious? Or are you just being sarcastic or cynical? Are you attacking me? I can’t tell…if so…terribly sorry considering all that you say here…I am not sure how to respond…

If you are expressing malcontent towards me, I am not sure where it is coming from and why. I AM a white American male, I do not have the generational trauma an American black man has (I do have some, but I have not been enslaved only three generations back, if that). I have travelled extensively, I know quite a bit about history…I feel weird defending myself so I will stop…

Confused…and a bit dazed.

Sorry Todd,

As you can see I've become hypersensitive to the plight of the White American Male. You are talking about the grandfathers, fathers, husbands, and warriors of my tribe. I can tell you, in this age of opression olympics, white males are getting shit on like no other group. I have a good friend, age 81, who just got fired from his company after a company holiday gift exchange because he wrapped his gift in newspaper and the newspaper that he used, (Epoch Times) offended the random person who picked up his gift. So he was fired for it. Fired for his wrapping paper. You can't make this shit up. Because he is a white male, there is no recourse for him without tens of thousands of dollars for an endless lawsuit.

My hypersensitivity could also be due to the fact that I have had the misfortune of needing to reeducate myself by attending a State University for the past three years where funding for the University comes directly from Kaiser and Sorros, who are funding all things New World Order. All curriculum in every state, from pre-K to graduate level are funded by tyranical philanthropists and are designed to indoctrinate haters of white heterosexual men. The black heterosexual male has already been completley smeared in the public eye. Once masculenity has been destroyed, through social and chemical castration, there will be no warriors left to defend the rest of us from the coup that is underway.

As I see it, anyone who feels obligated to set up white males as the scapegoat for any topic is just blindly obeying the subconscious edicts of the current propoganda campaign.

In this day and age, you can always scoop up a bucket of virtue points by putting weak white males or just white males who are assholes on the chopping block. But why? Why is it necessary to do that? Why must we continue to pick the assholes as representatives of white men? When you as a white American Male, (I acknowledge the correction) throw out vague comparisons between black males and white males who are assholes, who are you serving? I really don't think you are any different than the champion female swimmers who spinelessly allowed themselves to be mocked and destroyed by a man in a female swimsuit because they didn't want to be docked any virture points by saying "fuck no, we will not surrender to this lie."

In retrospect, I probably should have just asked you why, of all the groups that you could have made an example of, you chose the already downtrodden warriors of my tribe.

I am going to leave this and not pursue it further, but only to say I cannot for the life of me see how you could have interpreted what I said in this article the way that you have. I specialize in male psychology, and I see dozens of white males (and other colors as well), and I agree with every word you have said here. I do not understand why you think I have "made an example" of white males. Yes, they have been obliterated, but, considering rather strongly that I AM one, I also know some of the fault for that obliteration lies with us.

I think, being a white male myself (an old one at that) I have the leeway to criticize myself and my own tribe. But I don't think I actually do that very much, certainly not in the way that you insinuate in both of your comments. Ultimately, I think we are in agreement. I am stunned that you don't see that. ..."I really don't think you are any different than the champion female swimmers who spinelessly allowed themselves to be mocked and destroyed by a man in a female swimsuit because they didn't want to be docked any virtue points by saying "fuck no, we will not surrender to this lie."" Really???

Anyhow, I will stop here and leave it at that.

I can't take credit for it and I won't get it exactly right, but someone said of woke cancel culture that it's a religion but without the redemption and forgiveness parts. Notice that when someone is called out by the mob they will repent, and yet it's never enough. They get cancelled anyway (which is why I say never apologize to the mob!) and there is no forgiveness.

Hey, I'm an atheist Jew who wouldn't wear a mask or take the injections, so if I didn't have a thick skin and let things roll off my back I would never survive. Despite not being religious I have forgiven -- even when those who I feel did me wrong didn't apologize (I'm thinking Scamdemic here). If I know someone has a good heart but was acting out of fear I can forgive. If I know their heart and they say something inappropriate I can let it go. We in the West have become soft (read: safe spaces, trigger warnings) and it has backfired spectacularly. I take some solace in the Ricky Gervais Netflix special and how popular it is because of how inappropriate it is. Perhaps we are turning a corner, which is inevitable when bad ideas are taken too far. Have we reached peak stupid yet? Not sure we've hit bottom but we must be getting close.

Yes, we are close, but no cigar yet. I think we actually have a ways to go considering how long, relatively, it has taken to get to this point (in the last few decades it has definitely exponentially sped up).

I believe it is all a part of larger agenda towards dehumanization; transform human beings into robots, stating nothing out of the ordinary”accepted narrative” designed to eliminate all individual expression. Expression, as that used in comedy has always played on the edges of what is acceptable and is a huge opportunity for us to be forced to admit our own human nature and helps, IMHO, moderate our expressions into the world with greater sensitivity. To remove this ability to laugh at and work with our human condition, I believe, renders us less human; pretty much the new agenda. What a boring world we are creating.

So, so, so well put. Yes, humour, and the desecration of humour, is a huge part of all of this. HUGE. Thanks for bringing it up here.

Regarding squashing individuality, that is the most prominent goal in the agenda's agenda. Read Dr. Michael Nehls' incredible new book, "The Indoctrinated Brain"...he approaches the issues here with a very neurobiological explanation. Although I think there is more to the brain than its material aspects, I totally am on board with his hypotheses.

Todd, thank you for this article. I think people today have too much invested in trying to find "problems". Many people are so over-sensitive to what is being said and ready to report anyone for something they deem as insensitive, sexist, racist, etc. Like the client you mention in your article, his employer had an obligation to tell him what he apparently said that was so offensive. It is just so crazy now. We have gone from the Archie Bunker stage to the Whiny, You Hurt Me stage. All the best!

You are exactly right...but again, what I always grapple with is "why?" It is easy to say "this is all planned by the agenda"...which I do believe is true. Then the question, "Why does the agenda do this?" is easier to answer.

But we are still left with the question, "Why are people so quick to follow the agenda's narrative?"

Why? That little word contains so much curiosity if we use our brains to go there. So many people are fed what 'they' want us to believe through programming from the time of kindergarten right through university/college, and beyond. What isn't absorbed there, then you have the social pressures from work, media, government, etc. Not a lot of people want to stray from the pack, sort of speak, so many go along to get along. 'Our' group are more likely to have been and continue to be people who ask Why? or question things that don't make sense. From the time I was little, I remember asking why. Why is almost a dirty word these days. Thanks Todd for provoking critical thinking. :)
