he was probably cold reading, talked about how I had trouble sleeping relating to difficulties with thinking about 'big picture' ideas too much. said I'd be happier if I gave up 'bad habits' - 'do you know what I mean?' 'I have a few'.
then he got a serious look on his face and said 'no, sex, drugs, smoking, these are normal things you can give up, not what I mean'
according to him things will change dramatically in August, though he wasn't clear about whether that was specific to me or just in general

Indian astrologer stopped me on the street to talk, among other things told me not to wear black on tuesdays and not to trust women. nice guy, wanted me to go to the park to talk further but I was busy. wasn't sure if he wanted to interfere with me or try to get me to join the hare krishnas.

should work, I dunno, I have cbz files but they're like 100MB each
the original reason why Butcher has such a hardon for killing Homelander is because Homelander raped his wife, and he only found out months later when a super foetus exploded out of her and he had to beat it to death with a lamp

Thomas Narut was a staff psychologist who operated out of the US Naval Hospital in Naples and the Navy Neuropsychiatric Laboratories in San Diego in the 1970s. He ran a program with the goal of creating 'assassins' who had no qualms with killing whatever they were told to, and was working on a three-stage process to do it.
The first stage was selection - he'd attempted to recruit subjects out of the regular forces but found he had the most success with convicts, specifically murderers taken from military prisons. Over time he found that the most effective selection criteria was of men who were deemed 'passive-aggressive' by the prominant psychological personality-typing tests of the time.
The second (and main) stage was to desensitise the subjects to violence. As a civilian in university he'd previously researched and experimented with anxiety, specifically exposing subjects to violent videos depicting deaths and mutilations while physically distracting them with other tasks. Stage two of the project was similar - almost exactly the same as the Ludavico Technique depicted in A Clockwork Orange, where their heads were restrained in place and they were forced to watch progressively more gruesome videos - starting with a crude tribal circumcision and industrial accidents where a man loses his fingers or hand, and moving on to executions and murders. After each viewing the subject would be asked questions about details such as the colour of the man's belt or the design of a knife, forcing them to rewatch the videos if it's deemed that they did not pay close enough attention. During the viewings each subject's stress levels would be monitored: heart rate, perspiration, brainwaves and similar were recorded, and the subjects would only 'progress' if they were able to keep progressively more calm as the testing went on.
Once they were able to watch the most violent media available while simultaneously remaining calm and focused, they were moved on to the third stage, which was meant to dehumanise the people that the subjects may be given as targets - given it was the early 70s they likely targeted Arabs, Vietnamese, South Americans etc. The method here was to use specially-crafted videos that were meant to reinforce their (American) cultural superiority, showing those peoples' customs and superstitions as ridiculous and their behaviour as 'less' than human.
It's not clear how successful these people were or what happened to them after their 'training', but Narut himself stated that they should be attached to US embassies as lethal assets and at one point mentioned that several of them had been sent to the embassy in Athens.
The program itself doesn't seem like it lends itself to creating obedient soldiers, though - it starts with people who display passive-aggressive traits, implying they are already vindictive and sadistic, then their resistance to using direct violence is broken down, and finally killing is psychologically justified to them. It seems far more likely to create spree or serial killers.
I'll write more later, but consider how these techniques might affect people on a larger scale - internet communities that exist only to create, share and evaluate gore videos. Supposed 'war' channels on Twitter, Telegram etc. that only exist to distribute demoralisation propaganda of people being torn apart by mines, drones and autocannons, or Chinese industrial accidents, or bizarre Indian shit fetishism.

It's also just because I know so many people who are complete trash are breeding, and I don't want to leave their world to them and their shit legacy.
seems awfully selfish to want to bring kids into a terrible world just because you're following an instinct or are afraid to die
