One of the consequences of never being the problem is a lack of personal growth. I have a family member who fits this personality type. It's always the other person causing the rift in the relationship. She never admits her role. She is always the long suffering victim. As a result, she's in her 70's yet still acts like a petulant child. No personal development. No wisdom. Dysfunctional personal relationships. She's stuck.

When I was in my 20's, I wasn't doing so well in my romantic relationships. I was always dating guys who were non-committal. Who I felt I had to fight to earn their affection. I would date one guy, have this problem with not being treated very well, then dump him only to start dating another guy who acted the same way.

I could have decided that men were trash and hardened my heart and kept dating losers, but I realized that the enduring pattern in these failed relationships was ... me. I was, in fact, choosing this. Over and over again. When I was able to examine this painful truth a little closer, I realized I was also REJECTING the stable guys who showed interest! I was repeating the struggle of my childhood subconciously, as in if I can get the jerk to like me then I can prove my worth! A painful realization, but once I understood it I was able to start choosing the right kind of men and allowing the discomfort of being treated well. (Messed up I know but I found being valued discomforting at first.)

As a result I'm now in a happy marriage of almost two decades, and my teenage kids gravite towards healthy partners. I grew as a person. Sometimes I see the echo of where I could have ended up if I didn't have the courage to face my faults. Single, bitter, childless, probably ranting about the patriarchy.

Choosing responsibility can be hard but it pays off.

I have a family member stuck like you describe and I agree wholeheartedly with your thought. She’s in her 90s, by the way.

Yes, and as the behaviours get passed down and manifest in the next generation, so to do the physical illnesses manifest. It's incumbent upon us not to repeat the bad behaviours of our parents, to break the cycle.

Doc, this is all a feature, not a bug. Marxists need the victim/oppressor narrative for their system to flourish. They need tax dollars to flow via social programs. They need helpless people to bolster their *expert* class. Sure, people go into this thinking they are there to help, but are quickly caught up into the narrative of being the smartest one in the room, and how we require their expert knowledge to put on our pants. The public education system is doubling down on this with SEL & a push for mandatory mental health screening in schools. They are acting in concert with faux mental health system & NGOs to keep people locked in the doom loop of victim hood. Take a look at Bill Ayers, it will start to unfold once you see who he is & what he is doing. The institutions have been captured. Only way out is to leave the institutions & strike out on our own. It can be a bit lonely at first & there will be push back & shunning by The Marxists. This should only grow the resolve for Independence from the vile institutions.

Keep the work going, what you are doing is of the utmost importance. God bless & amen!

Best comment I've read in a while. Cheers! America and the West are experiencing long term unconventional warfare, and our culture is the main target. Schools, healthcare, media, entertainment, publishing, justice, weaponized migration, etc. have all been weaponized by Zionists and Marxists.

Thank you. Bill Ayers was my education professor. I've stared directly into the eyes of the devil and did not blink.

I love first hand testimony. When his 'son' Chesa Boudin was elected to run the justice system in SF, I knew we were in some stage of Bolshevism. Pritzker seems to be one, too, and both want criminals on the streets and patriots in jail. Interesting times...

Me's avatar

Interesting times indeed! RFK Jr was on the University of Illinois Board of Directors when Ayers retired. Bobby denied him professor emtrius status because Ayers dedicated one of his books to Sirhan Sirhan. Many of the educational theory books written by Ayers are still in use in Colleges of Education across the US. And yes, Boudin was a test case in the dismantling of the justice system. Pritzger has taken even further. We are now diaspora & won't cross back into Illinois because we enjoy being alive.

The societal pendulum swung from no validation and just toughing it out with the boomers to only validation and no resilience with the millennials. As usual, the truth is a combination of both. It explains so much why there is such rupture and estrangement between those two generations as well.

Exposing the lies that everyone agrees to, (but knows are lies) is the act of courage that will save us. Thank you.

Brilliant work as always Dr. McFillin. You are telling the Truth in a way that I think will hit home with many people. Facts are facts and you are doing an outstanding job of pointing them out so that many people Worldwide can hear them, reconsider and reconfigure.

May, many thanks again as always

G-d Bless you and everyone reading, much Light and Love to all ❤️♾️🖖✌️

This is a strong piece. What lands for me is the distinction between blame and responsibility. Too often, the modern system stops at validation, and validation without transformation can become its own prison. A diagnosis may describe a pattern, but it can also become an identity, and once that happens, people can lose sight of their own agency.

I also thought your line about becoming better at explaining why nothing is your fault was very sharp. That captures a real failure mode in therapy culture. Understanding suffering matters, but if the process never leads back to authorship, it risks keeping people stuck in the very story they came to escape.

Important piece.

..."Are We Creating Perpetual Patients?"...that is the EXACT formula that encompasses ALL of medicine. You have to understand that "healthcare" now makes up over 18% of our economy (US). That is billions of dollars in profits, incomes, taxes, benefits, spending...totaling over 4 $trillion.

That money machine needs to keep churning at an ever higher rate. Two initial reasons come to mind...big pharma profits and doctor's greed. The above patient example supports this. Endless office visits and endless drug prescriptions. Greed with no intent of ever solving a problem. No potential of ever letting the patient go.

No malicious intent? I am not so sure about that. Underlying reasons in the same context that the patient couldn't see that she was responsible for her life as much as the doctors cannot see they are a gigantic part of the problem.

Even more disturbing is that most of these "doctors" fail to see that the very prescriptions they give to patients are for destructive drugs. Malicious in my view since most doctors have no clue about these drugs. Or they do not care...they have incomes to protect.

Fr. Mike Schmitz brings the spiritual aspect of what you talk about in this recent podcast. He did a beautiful Lenten series about how we are the authors of our own biographies…will we allow God to be our coauthor? Brilliant!

Nailed it. This exactly a thread I've been exploring on whether it's pathology or personality and what happens when the pathology desires our agency.

Facts often get in the way of personality disorders.

As I asked my ex-wife, "so you're saying your inability to take the vodka bottle away from your lips has nothing to do with your problems?"

"...identity that explains away academic struggles", and a passport to accommodation, adjusted expectations, and often advantage-- no wonder students utilizing accommodations at some elite universities is nearly 40%.

What is the most unfortunate is the fact that those clinging to the normative authority assumed to be science conducted by those assumed to be experts without evidence or merit, without practicing medicine OR science at all because they are NOT experts they are either retarded slaves too stupid to comprehend they are wrong and the harm not the solution or they are literal mercenaries murdering and creating lifelong injuries upon the innocent without informed consent because the "experts" have no valid excuse for NOT knowing the harm they are causing. They're supposed to be the experts. Before abusing their licenses against their own hypocratic oaths they are responsible for learning all they can in relavent testing and study BEFORE they should prescribe poisons that have been designed to harm by the medical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. These "experts" are ALL terrorists EXCEPT ONLY for the those who refused to perpetuate the system, those who put in the work and effort to test and research REAL science before prescribing poisons versus the fraud claimed to be science.

The bullshit excuse for therapy is confirmation bias. It NEVER heals or creates solutions it only perpetuates permanent victim mentality to stoke the flames of psychotic extremism and activism not encouragement of learning what is justice because therapists are recruitment and gate keepers of permanent victims for terrorists waging biochemical warfare upon people already suffering needlessly under the system that exists to profit from the misery and death of innocent people.

Giving innocent people already suffering a framework of titles and labels used to excuse their choices is not a solution or answer it is fraud, manipulation, and taking advantage of those already suffering in crysis. This is the age of deception. There is absolutely Nothing but your slothful laziness standing between you and understanding, of knowledge of what truly and realistically is instead of differing you responsibility to a psycho profiting from your misery and killing you slowly. That is masochism and perpetual ad hoc fallacy. You do NOT need drugs. You do NOT need validation. You need to read, study, learn, ditch the entire system as much as you can with integrity because the longer you suck the teet of fraud the longer it proliferates harming innocent people who believe they have no power or authority. It is WEAKNESS! Cut it off! You are stronger than you know! Face it head on!

I AM Indigenius. I was 356 pounds in mid October 2025. This is April 2026. I have lost 110 pounds and kept it off since October. I was taking 15 prescribed medications daily. I am vaccine injured both physically and mentally with permanent physical disabilities that cannot be corrected with surgieries and with neuro abnormalities. These are not labels or excuses, these are the results of the system designed to profit from genocide and war. I am tore up from the floor up, but the best decision I ever made on my own was flushing every last pill and not refilling, purchasing, or consuming poisons having learned what is poison and what is medicine. It starts by cutting out the poisons and replacing them in all that you consume. Fuel for your body, your auto immune system, your healing or food for the parasites, worms, and harmful bacteria living in your microbebiome. You are flooded with them. Starve them. Kill them with real medicine, stop feeding them with poisons or you are going to die too soon suffering in misery that only worsens the longer you feed the system. Until the system suffers Capitol punishment, starve it and expose it.

Bless you & God speed on your continued success in healing. I have a different, but yet very similar journey & am also healing through real true nutrition & am in the process of understanding everything I can. No quick fix or magic pill, just the sheer will to love & live better healthier life ✨️

"Ambitious men are motivated. Good men are disciplined." - Indigenius

Find the will. I found mine in the Bible because I gave up my will for His. There is but a single word I see in my mind when I ask Jesus The Christ for guidance. Just one, "Read." So I read and I study and I research again and again everyday and I write to make sense of it all. In October I water only fasted for 14 consecutive days and 3 hours. My Father fasted in the desert 40 days and 40 nights while the son of perdition waged war against Him and while my Father waged war within Himself in prayer and fasting. I thought, "The whole world has cast me into the draught and He is the only one who never left, the only who has ever loved me. Surely I can meet Him half way." I was intent on a 21 day water only fast. I didn't make it. Due to my blood sugar getting too low, my vision started to fail and I had to break my fast. I had to eat. I grabbed my last can of pineapple and I wept while I ate it thinking I was weak, thinking I had failed Him, but there was a purpose. I only lost 40 pounds and then I put 20 back on because I incredibly depressed and I ate poison for 3 days after. So I only lost 20 pounds, but what I learned after was I was still flooded with parasites, worms, harmful bacteria. I tried ivermectin, praziquantel, and fenben and I've lost 90 more pounds since my 14 day fast. I changed my whole diet to a liver detox diet too and instead of poison I crave real food now. Eggs and meat and water. I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me.

Amen! I (we, with my immediate family) have left the poison of the big city. We eat meat grown by locals, eat eggs raised by us & when the yokes get the chickens, plenty of neighbors supply us with wonderful nourishment of eggs, quality water & local (on my farm & others) fruits & veggies. We focus in the meat & eggs. I've fine tuned my cooking & make from scratch 99% of the food we consume. We eat all of our food within an 8 hour time frame & fast the rest of the day. We work independently of the system, work & education. We shun *experts* & those who wish to control us. We are in a good place. Papa would say *I'm doing fantastic & getting better all the time*. Jesus is THE way. Amen

How cool is it that egg whites at as a shield barrier to the yolk as a natural barrier to parasites, worms, and especially harmful bacteria and when we eat them our stomach lining and blood stream absorb those same properties of the egg whites and all from a very easily manageable low maintenance bird that can't fly. 😂

Indigenius's avatar

It's crazy how so few folks don't realize they intermittently fast every time they sleep and just by stretching it out and eating right in a small window will reduce so many perpetual health issues. The only bad thing about weight loss is having to buy new clothes. 😂
