Millions of sociopaths live among us. They do not have the ability to authentically love. They view people as objects to be used. This was the topic of my TEDx called, How to protect yourself from sociopaths. TED censored my speech.
After waiting for two years for TED to include my video on its website, I decided enough was enough. I just re-recorded my speech and posted it on Youtube, Rumble and Lovefraud. I invite you to watch it.
My speech in June 2022
TED, which is headquartered in New York and Vancouver, says its mission is to research and discover “ideas worth spreading.” TEDx speaking events are run by local organizations under licenses issued by TED.
I spoke at TEDx Roland Park, Maryland, on June 5, 2022. I was one of 10 speakers that day, and my speech was well-received.
Afterwards, videos of everyone’s speeches were sent to the main TED organization. Talks by the other nine speakers were posted on the TED website. Mine was not.
Why did TED censor?
Why did TED censor my talk? I don’t know.
Maybe they didn’t like my usage of the term “sociopath.” Many people use “sociopath” interchangeably with “antisocial personality disorder.” But as I explain in my talk, “sociopath” originally meant “anything deviated or pathological in social relations.”
Today “sociopath” doesn’t mean anything — it is no longer an official clinical diagnosis. So I use it as an umbrella term for the Cluster B personality disorders, including antisocial and narcissistic personality disorders, plus psychopathy.
Thinking TED officials might have questioned the accuracy of my statements, I provided them with a completely annotated script, with scientific citations for every point I made. See for yourself:
How to protect yourself from sociopaths, annotated script
Did they review it? Again, I don’t know. TED organizers never responded.
Please share my talk
I still believe my information about sociopaths is worth spreading. As I say in my speech, there may be 31 million adult sociopaths in the United States. They are everywhere, all around the world. To protect ourselves, we need to know how to spot them.
I’ve experienced being targeted by a sociopath and heard from thousands of other survivors. I know how damaging they are. That’s why I wanted to spread my message. If you can help by sharing my talk, I would appreciate it.
In fact, all survivors of sociopathic betrayal will appreciate it.
