Dunbar Number Communities

 

Is Patreon a disaster for the world? Is it creating a pandemic of sinister cults, manipulating and exploiting vulnerable, weak people?

 

You often hear mad Hyperians saying, “No one is taking away my COMMUNITY from me.”

 

Patreon gives Mad Morgue the scope to inflict his plagiarism and his weird Woke junk on the world to a small group of groomed, brainwashed fanatics. Then Fat Jan gets to create a crazy little parasitical community and feed on the crumbs from Morguey Boy’s top table. And the Hyperian Plagiarism team joins in too, again feasting on the same “community”. All of the participants become totally psychologically inflated, hence insane.

 

Patreon is producing a world of “Dunbar Number” cults. Wikipedia says, “Dunbar’s number is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships—relationships in which an individual knows who each person is and how each person relates to every other person. This number was first proposed in the 1990s by British anthropologist Robin Dunbar, who found a correlation between primate brain size and average social group size. By using the average human brain size and extrapolating from the results of primates, he proposed that humans can comfortably maintain 150 stable relationships.”

 

So, the ACTIVE number of Hyperians is probably about fifty, and these show up at all six Hyperian deadstreams per week. They all say hello to each other and they all say goodbye to each other. They all chatter inanely, while bizarrely pretending to be intelligent and informed and not at all the Woke dumbos they actually are. This is the COMMUNITY that these people are struggling so hard to preserve. These people are addicted to COMMUNITY, and to the community leaders, without whom the pathetic community could not exist.

 

Patreon is all about Narcissism. A Narcissist claims to be a CREATOR, and then a community forms around him or her, and, hey presto, a ghastly scenario such as Hyperianism can suddenly be up and running. An online cult has formed. The “Community” gets to interact directly with their God and feel important for funding him (“Supporting him”, showering him with love, complimenting his hair, providing thanks, adoration, veneration, telling him how important he is and how he must keep going, and keep up his fluids, and not bother about the “haters”, and so on.)

 

 

We’re not saying that 100% of Patreon Creators are bad. There must be some decent creators out there creating healthy, productive, positive communities, but we would predict that the vast majority of Patreon “scenes” are toxic and are exercises in pathological narcissism and cultlike behavior. Hyperianism is a signature case, with its grotesque offshoots of Jan Torgensen and the Hyperian Plagiarism. A group of five fanatics – Rebhahn, Torgensen, Mitchell, Shope and Marsh can inflict their total insanity on groomed and brainwashed groups of simps and gimps almost indefinitely because of the toxic psychology of the codependency relationships involved.

 

The tale of Narcissus is a curious one because it emphasizes the LONELINESS of Narcissus’s self-love. Narcissus spurns Echo who loves him so much, thus rejecting Other-Love (the love of the Other). In reality, Narcissus enhances his self-love through the adoration and veneration of Echo, i.e., through the love of the Other. The more others love him, the more he loves himself. Look at Hyperianism. Rebhahn can’t get enough of being worshipped by his Echoes, those infinitely bizarre Hyperian women. He can’t live without them. He’s as addicted to being worshiped as they are to worshiping him. This is the notorious codependency, and Patreon is giving rocket fuel to this whole scene of monetized Narcissus-Echo codependency. Because these communities are of the scale of the Dunbar Number, they are incredibly intense. You can know everyone in the community.

 

The Patreon scene strongly resembles that of OnlyFans.

 

You could easily imagine Hyperianism becoming a non-binary porn site! That may well be what it evolves into, once Morguey Boy finally realizes that no philosopher on earth would take him seriously as a philosopher.

 

All of these online services are producing a world of cults, of obsessed fans directly interacting with their Gods, and lavishing love, worship, attention, and, above all, money on them.

 

In the past, there used to be religions and celebrities (stars). The gods of religion were too remote, and so were the shining stars of the celebrity world. The modern world is all about cults because now the “gods”, the “stars”, can directly interact with the worshipers (fans) on livestreams, and flirt with them, and shout out their name, and simperingly acknowledge their support, especially financially. The worshipers can get the “satisfaction” of directly funding their gods, and seeing their “love” playing out and being “returned” in real-time.

 

Eventually, these cults will wipe out mainstream religions and mainstream celebrity culture because the extra intimacy of the Dunbar Number cults will prove too addictive. You can already see how difficult it is to bring a pointless, lunatic cult like Hyperianism to an end because of how utterly obsessed and brainwashed the Hyperian cultists are. They are wholly immune to reason and logic. The grooming and false consciousness induced in them by the cult leader Corey Rebhahn are total. No one can escape.

 

Also, one can bet that non-binary and transgender cults feature most heavily on Patreon. Hyperianism is now totally a non-binary cult. Only non-binary people could stomach hanging around this utterly bizarre scene. We have come across a number of non-binary Hyperians who basically don’t know anything about Hyperianism but support Hyperianism BECAUSE Corey Rebhahn calls himself non-binary. “Non-binary” is no doubt another made-up designation to allow bourgeois narcissists to pretend to be hard done by. One day all of this mad crap will crawl back under its stone.
