we should no expect goodwill from companies, that is why they need to be regulated.

Think of it as the society being the victim. The clearest example is when Trump started talking about Fake News. The goal is to devoid words of meaning, to reason based only on emotional attachment, to eliminate critical thinking. This guy follows the same strategy.

Below a definition of gaslighting, I think it applies pretty well to the kind of society these people are leaving behind:

He is saying that she didn’t win, he lost.

Completely unqualified suggestion here but,

have you tried going for a run when you wake up at the middle of the night?

I was having the problem of waking up at 3am and unable to fall sleep, I started to embrace it, prepare some coffee, stretch a bit and then get out to run to a completely deserted city.

Running is very therapeutic, when you get intrusive thoughts, you just squeeze further running until your brain cannot focus on other thing than breathing.

I found a time-frame of therapy that only belongs to me and it has also helped me with the sleeping problems.

I am not qualified or anything and I don’t want to diminish your problem, but if it could help I just wanted to let it out.

Cheers.
