Very good article. Sadly I think there is more people that falls under "type-one" due to the massive psychological operations going on. In my NCI testimony I talk little bit about that but due to time constraint I didn't get a chance to go in full details. Lucky for us, Jason Christfoff's presentation on Day 3 (June 21, 2025) of the NCI Kitchener testimony talks about that in greater details.
Thank you Andrew for feedback. I know Jason and he is at work on brainwashing of population. I would fully agree with you that type one is most prevalent. In fact the more authoritarian regime is the more prevalent this group is. So this would be even used as a objective evidence of the totalitarian regime. As I mentioned in my other replies to other comments, I still need to put the actual numbers to all archetypes for all global problems. The numbers which are provided in this article not realistic and have been proposed by chat GPT just as a filler to illustrate the concept of archetypes, and the concept of how this archetype distributions can be used to compare one regime to another in different countries. When I have time I will assign more close to reality distributions for each type and each problem. So stay tuned!
This is comprehensive and an excellent article but it's SO long - who is your audience? Are you reaching people? Is there some way to make this SUPER IMPORTANT information more easily digestible? Please do not take this as a criticism. I totally respect all the time and energy you devote to creating fulsome articles - it's just that a lot of us are SO weary of having to read SO much every day .... it's adding to the exhaustion. You know what I mean? And I'm sorry these people ignored you and shut you down when you were just trying to alert them to a dangerous and urgent issue. I honestly can't imagine how you keep going. Much love to you xo ♥️
Thank you for finding time to read through all those lengthy ideas which have been accumulating over the years and trying to put them in writing, now luckily with help of Chtgpt it's easier for me to do, as it is doing quite decent job taking all my quite complex ideas sometimes spoken over the phone even in other languages, because English is not my mother tongue. And converting them into something readable for English speaking audience. To answer a question on why I wrote such an article, here's a tip hint for you. It is written (also) for my colleagues in public service who are highly critical of my views and some of them even complain about them to my management. And specifically there are also labor relationship people in every government of Canada organization whose job is just what the job of the first department in Soviet Union was (I wrote about that in the previous article the week before) - they are hired and paid specifically for finding inappropriate political behavior of employees and disciplining those. So with the article like this one, I'm trying to make the job much harder! Because I provide a much wider understanding of what is going on in Canada without actually talking specifically on anyone or anything which can be incriminated against me or anyone else who exercises critical thinking these days. Also, as I have noted in reply to another comment, I had the desire to model all the archetypes of citizens in authoritarian country since 2022 with idea to eventually to build a web application which people could use and see how in different countries different problems as seen through the lens of five citizen archetypes distributions. This insurance could be used to compare one country to another, or one global problem to another, you know scientific analytical way, concluding which one is closer to dictatorship versus free society, or which problem is more global versus more local. Cheers!
I think the taxonomy is interesting and helpful. However, I think that there is another sort of person who does not quite fit: Someone who sees a large array of issues to deal with, and pushes some aside so as not to spread their activity too thinly. On a particular issue they sort of fit into types 3 or 4, but not exactly. They are not tired or discouraged; maybe kind of distracted, but not drained; maybe wary of those who would shut them down, but capable of standing up if it seems like it would be productive to do so. It’s just that there are so many things to deal with and so they carefully choose what to expend their energy on. Perhaps such people are too rare to have a category for them, but maybe not. Do you know such people? Maybe you’re one yourself.
This is exactly the type three people, the way I have said. Most people just don't have energy to do it because we're overwhelmed with too many things we need to deal with to put foot on table and many other issues. So we need to choose our battles. And just as you said, they are not fighting for 5G, just because perhaps they're fighting for something else. But for this particular problem of 5G they would fall exactly under the type 3 people. I've been thinking about this framework of modeling Canadian population, or any population in authoritarian regime since 2022. What I really would love to do is to build a web app which would allow people to put some of those numbers for each archetype and see how this would balance the power of doers versus non-doers. So this work is still in progress. I did finish the part which late to define the archetypes I think. But now, once I have more time, I will start assigning the actual percentages of each archetype for all big global issues which were facing. Thanks for your interest and feedback!
Yes, I went back and read through the article more carefully, and I think you are right about this. Also, another read-through gave me a greater appreciation of what you’re trying to do.
Another question: It appears that you would like to make your taxonomy exhaustive, so that it covers all possible cases. You don’t explicitly state that, but is that how you see it?
It seems to me that there is one sort of case that it does not cover: someone who sees what is happening but just does not care or even gets a kick out of seeing others duped and suffering. There is a substack author who is like this. Here’s one article that will give you the idea, but his stack of full of similar articles.

Holy cow! Understood DG. You've taken on a massive task and you do it well.
