>>179425What caught my interest, though, were those "borderline traits"—because you see, that's still a fairly general term, and now I'm not sure whether, drawing on the still clinically useful Kernbergian structural model of personality functioning, you're referring here to borderline traits in a general sense (in Kernberg, there's a distinction between borderline personality organization and borderline personality as a distinct psychopathological category) or to borderline personality as such, along with its characteristic defense mechanism with the ominously named splitting (the black-and-white borderline perception of reality is often present in the heat of political battle, btw)? For my part, I'm more interested in the psychodynamics of disorders on the schizophrenia spectrum, with particular focus on schizotypal personality (I'm a happy possessor of schizotypal personality traits myself), but I also have a broader analytic-cognitive spectrum when it comes to understanding the human psyche in general. As for paranoia—a effective leader should have something of the paranoid about him, in order to "not sleep through" external and internal threats—if such a leader operates at the schizoid-paranoid level (a sharp dichotomy of "us" and "them," and by the way, a nod to the post-Freudian Kleinian school of psychoanalysis, which thoroughly unpacked this psychodynamic), but without regression to a psychotic personality organization (he retains what in psychoanalysis is called "reality testing"—in other words, the ego preserves its observational function, which allows the subject to distinguish his own subjective inner world from objective external reality). Paranoia is thus a useful early-warning system here, without side effects in the form of psychotic decompensation and ego fragmentation. Just please don't standardly refer me to watching the film.

The Mennonite community does not accept govt funding, choosing instead to remain independent and preserve their way of life.
A few years ago, after becoming dissatisfied with both public and Catholic school options, my friend considered this school for his daughter. As part of the admissions process, the school conducted a home visit. They wanted to understand the family’s values—specifically whether they attended church and whether there was a television in the home. After receiving satisfactory answers (yes to church, no to TV), his daughter was accepted.
She spent three years at the Mennonite school and is now a strong, conservative young woman attending an elite liberal arts college. My friend credits the Mennonite community with giving her a solid moral foundation.
In the video, the teacher describes what a typical day in her classroom looks like.
