Four Society "types"

Navigating society requires a good knowledge of the "type" of person you are dealing with.

I wasn’t going to post this because it is way out of my subject matter but then my friend, Doug Brodie’s latest missive hit my inbox so I thought I would do all the same.

Take this with a massive pinch of salt! This is nothing but a personal musing. How you take it reflects as much on you as it does me! I’m not saying I’m right, or even near the mark.

I’m not a psychologist but... this is how I see people in the last couple of years:

1. Lambs. The majority - the wage slaves and those who don’t pay taxes but feel entitled to their vote. Think they live in a free democracy. Like their parents (sheep), they do as they are told, blindly trusting authority, doing things that make no sense but because they are told it’s the right thing to do. They live a reasonable life (because they don’t think too much about how things could be better or anything for that matter). As lazy as they are ignorant. Referred to as the “useless eaters” by the Elite. Eventually they are slaughtered, victims of the system.

2. Dunning Krugers¹. The Piers Morgans, Dom Jolys and Jeremy Vines. Also trust authority but think they know stuff. Unfortunately, the stuff they know is typically handed down to them by trusted authority (government agencies, state TV, the “education” system). More dangerous than lambs because they actively support the system and get in the way of the aliens’ good work. They are the henchmen of the Elite but are despised by them as much as the Lambs. As arrogant as they are ignorant.

3. Aliens. The Doug Brodies of the world. Don’t feel like they belong. Always searching for the truth, honed skills in critical thinking, not necessarily academic, in fact quite often not. Take personal risk and put an awful lot of effort into being “right” but not for obvious personal gain. Often rebellious. Ironically, often accused of the Dunning Kruger effect by the Dunning Krugers!

4. Elites. You know who these are! The ones at the top who control everything but rarely the smartest ones and certainly not the most intelligent. Particularly adept at exploiting the Lambs and the Dunning Krugers. Haven’t really got a clue how to deal with the Aliens so they just try to intimidate and censor them into silence.

Any real psychologists out there care to chip in, please do?!
