I find it completely dumbfounding how sometimes you are going through/experiencing very specific things and then the universe presents you with an explanation to what is happening within through some type of external mean. This is what your article was for me. Not just one but many answers to my currently very pressing questions. And not only that. You also provide so many extra resources. I thank you for your work 🙏🏼
Oof, sorry to hear about your childhood and your mother, Wendy. This strikes me as “intellectual abuse” when it comes into play as a relational dynamic, not that I want to put labels to your experience that may not fit for you. Thank you for reading and commenting.
What a great overview of this distressing interpersonal dynamic. Weaponizing intellect is commonplace now, seen on social media, podcasts, opinion pieces, and certainly among political leaders, regardless of how bright they are.
Thank you, Gail. Greatly appreciate your comment. Yes, unfortunately, it’s true that weaponised intellect has become commonplace, particularly online. It’s a sad waste and so distressing.

Wow. “Intelligence without love becomes a weapon”. Also perfectly describes my childhood and my mother.
