Is it just me or is this a pattern that's been repeating throughout our society. Let me know if you see this too.
Step one somebody comes up with a philosophy that would be a big improvement on what we've all been doing.
Step two people start living it and it seems to work for them. It seems to make them happy and it seems to make the world a better place.
Step three dark tetrad types show up and hijack the good thing as cover for the bad things they're doing. It's a wolf in sheep's clothing type maneuver.
Step four people who have never engaged with the philosophy recognize that there's lots of dark tetrad people hiding under it and start using the philosophy as a heuristic for bad person.
Step five the authentic practitioners start to question whether the good thing was really good because people treat them like they're bad for it.
