PSYCHOPROCTOLOGY: Getting Honest and Realistic about Narcissists, Aholes, Buttheads & Total Jerks
jeremysherman.com A realistic, honest, nonpartisan biopsychological exploration of how to diagnose, treat, and prevent absolutism – absolute a**holery, buttheadedness, jerkdom, narcissism, and gaslighting. Because it's the biggest problem humankind faces. ==== Jeremy Sherman PhD, Mpp is a “cradle to grave” researcher: from the origins of life to our grave situation. For 26 years, Sherman has collaborated closely with Harvard/Berkeley neuroscientist and biological anthropologist Terrence Deacon, developing a gap-free explanation for us from the emergence of selves and effort within nothing but physiochemical work. Sherman’s work covers four topics: Teleogenesis: Explaining HOW selves and trying emerge from physics and chemistry. Synergenesis: Explaining HOW synergies emerge for example in multicellularity and societies. Logogenesis: Explaining HOW human language evolved and made us such radically different organisms. And Sherman’s solo project stemming from his collaboration with Deacon: Tyranogenesis: Explaining How humans become absolutist, posturing like gods. Deacon and Sherman’s approach seeks an explanation for the terms that other researchers simply assume on faith, for example, Darwin’s assumed “struggle for existence,” spirituality’s “souls,” and the social science’s “motivations.” Having theories for what these really are affords their work insights that aren’t available when one simply assumes such phenomena. Sherman specializes in making this strictly scientific approach easy, intuitive, and applicable to our everyday lives, feelings, thoughts, and actions. #gaslighting #narcissism, #narcissismexplained
