User:DeathtraP/What have I been using for brains

A waffle iron.

Here, I shall ramble about things CWC-related.

Why I would do this, I don't know. It's likely that my brain waffle iron is already too damaged to fully comprehend the horror that is Christian Weston Chandler and react accordingly.

Introspection & Chris believes his own lies

Socrates, the great Greek philosopher, once said, "I know you won't believe me, but the highest form of Human Excellence is to question oneself and others."

Most of us practice this, if not actively, then at least passively. We question our own thoughts and beliefs as part of a process to better understand how and why we have come to think the way we do. The daily revelation that we are not all-knowing is a sobering experience for anyone, even if it's completely subconscious. The never-ending search for truth keeps us motivated to learn from each experience we have.

Chris, in his endless naivete, seems to take every thought he has as unquestionably true (and honest!). Narcissists are notoriously bad at introspection, but Chris appears incapable of even the most basic and shallow critique of his own mind. Ex: Chris believes CWCVille is a real place; thus, it must be real because he thinks it is, and cannot accept that he could be wrong despite the fact that he hasn't a shred of evidence of this beyond the fact that he thought it. That isn't to say that Chris believes that just thinking something will make it happen - well, actually that's a whole other set of issues. What this illustrates to me is that if Chris has a thought ("CWCVille is a real place", "I am good looking and attractive", "I am special and in the favor of GodJesus", etc) he will accept that whatever he is thinking is correct without hesitation.

A case in point for this would be Chris's refusal to accept that he's fat and balding. I subscribe to the theory that he's so bad at recognizing faces that he had to memorize his own appearance and hasn't "updated" it since high school, but the number of times he's been told, again and again, that he's not the same (relatively) normal looking young man he was in his school years, one would think he'd at least have doubts about it at some point and seek out a second opinion other than Barbara. But he hasn't; he's clung tenaciously to that belief for years without even seeking out any new proof to back it up. Chris seems to be at a level where he literally thinks that his own belief in something is undeniable proof that he's correct in believing it. He's so gullible he'll believe just about anything, as we've all seen - one has to wonder if the manchild has actually managed to con himself into believing that he really, TRULY, and HONESTLY is perfect and without a single flaw. A narcissist's mind is arguably the most holy and infallible place in their world, and Chris is without a doubt a narcissist of some breed or another (a really, really, really stupid one, but that's not the point). What would Chris possibly trust more than his own TRUE and HONEST thoughts?

I don't know if it's his narcissism, his autism, his unbelievable stupidity in general, or a combination of all of the above, but whatever it is, it's a frightening look at just how pathetic the human mind can become under the right conditions.
