Video Description

Mind reading is a test of maternal symbiosis and unconditional love (the non-verbalized unspoken content of the narcissist’s mind do not deter the accessing partner). It is proof of a grandiose and anxiolytic mind-meld (“I am the world”). Not telepathy but internal object communication: partner is an extension (hyperreflexivity) Failure to mind read provokes frustration-aggression but also anxiety because it challenges the maternal object and extensionality/intensionality of external objects/extrojects. The narcissist specifies the internal content that he attributes to an external object (solely his projections, a clone of the narcissist’s mind) and the null set of all possible instances of the external object (the narcissist and the external object are one, coextensive). Failure at mind reading implies that the external object possesses content that is not identical to the content of the narcissist’s mind and is, therefore, separate. This provokes separation insecurity (abandonment anxiety owing to a lack of object constancy/permanence). Similarly, a failure at mind reading implies that the external object is unique, not a clone and therefore not interchangeable or fungible. CONCEPTS intension and extension, in logic, correlative words that indicate the reference of a term or concept: “intension” indicates the internal content of a term or concept that constitutes its formal definition; and “extension” indicates its range of applicability by naming the particular objects that it denotes. For instance, the intension of “ship” as a substantive is “vehicle for conveyance on water,” whereas its extension embraces such things as cargo ships, passenger ships, battleships, and sailing ships. The distinction between intension and extension is not the same as that between connotation and denotation. In mathematical sets, the null set is a set that does not contain any values or elements. It is expressed as { } and denoted using the Greek letter ∅ (phi). A null set is also known as an empty set or void set. There is only one null set because, logically, there's only one way that a set can contain nothing.
