Civilizational Failsafes, Entitlement, and the Adaptive Scaling of Dark Patterns: Toward an Ecology-Psychology Framework of Domination and Dehumanization

Résumé

This article develops an ecology-psychology framework for differentiating configurations of domination without collapsing into moral essentialism or flat universalism. The framework shifts the explanatory center away from dark traits alone toward a broader spectrum of pathological formations organized around entitlement, inversion, dissociation, domination, and the regulation of personhood.
