Drivers

Listen to Section

To Address Gender Confusion in Schools (Magical Thinking), it is important to look at the psychological descriptions of driver behaviour and socialized behaviours to examine the unexplained superstition and magical thinking that has surfaced in schools. Erickson’s approach to delays in development as opposed to normal adolescent development involved biological drives. In Erickson’s developmental stages, there was a drive at each stage; some drives overlapped and carried through many developmental stages or were set more strongly at different developmental stages. Intimacy and touch, the drive for autonomy, the drive for status and approval, etc., overlap the developmental stages. This is a normal positive development.

​

The negative side of biological drivers is that some drives are homicidal or suicidal, and what Freud called the ‘death instinct,’ also called ‘mortido', '90 and these negative drives could explain the transgender phenomena. Those who know and do nothing help the oppressors.

​

Taibi Kahler’s five drivers are a description of biological drivers that contribute to groupthink. These universal drivers, introduced by Kahler (1975), were considered to be below the level of an individual's conscious awareness and were the driving force in the unexplained behaviours of people. These drivers are:  

 

  • Be Perfect

  • Please (others)

  • Try Hard

  • Be Strong

  • Hurry up[91]  

 

When paired with a death drive, these drivers allow for automation and reduce awareness, providing “tunnel vision,” a signature trait of transgender ideology. People who need release from constricting systems often seek support in radical groups that seem to answer all of life’s problems.
