THE PERSONALITY SIMULATION CRISIS

On Aphantasia, Ego Disorders, and the Amirrored Self's Identity in a Narcissistic Culture

What if everything orthodox psychology understands about selfhood is built on a critical epistemological illusion?
In a challenge to Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, and Kohut, the architect of Self Psychology, this multidisciplinary research argues that the ego—therapy’s dogmatic mediator—is not the reality tester, but the delusion maker. The ego is a pathological artifact of mirroring.
Grounded in the lived reality of Panmodal Aphantasia (absence of mental representations across all modalities), this book proves that the self emerges even without reflection, autopoietically—stable, ethical, and catastrophically incompatible with narcissistic culture—while the ego ignites entitlement wars.
The cult of I runs rampant—humanity goes bankrupt.

• The Aneurothymia Spectrum: Avalidia (no egoic self-valuation), Asensoria (no affective interoception) as architectonic aformations
• Schrödinger Cognition: How the amirrored self holds paradox without collapse—while ego manipulates the self to justify the superego
• Ontological Metabolic Exhaustion: The physical toll of existing without egoic “recharge” in a predatory world, under cortisol overload
• Veridical Distortion: Why gaslighting fails on aphantasics—and the mechanics of manipulation without internal simulation

Within aneurothymic profiles, three neurodivergences scream rationally in silence:
Anauralia, Anhedonia, and Asexuality

• Personality disorders are pathologies of the ego—not the self
• "Healing the inner child" is impossible without mental imagery
• Ego is personality—self is character

FOR:
Trauma survivors misdiagnosed with conditions like borderline (splitting), depersonalization disorder, or major depression due to anhedonic cores ∙ Clinicians confronting treatment-resistant cases ∙ Philosophers of mind ∙ Critics of histrionic behavior and toxic dynamics
