I enjoy AI Chatbot's and often customize them to psychoanalyze myself to allow some internal reflection and ability to work towards correcting flaws within myself. Seeing MrGirl use one I was curious of his ability to create a Chatbot with the skill to look at things rationally, you know because he's such a fucking genius.
And I wasn't disappointed, because I didn't expect much.
So below I am providing his stupid "De-Programmer's" psychoanalysis of tiny and then my custom chatbot's breakdown of Destiny.
Enjoy.

A psychoanalysis of Destiny (Steven Bonnell II) requires an evaluation of his observable behavior, communication style, and interpersonal relationships. Based on The Destiny Report, How to Leave the Destiny Cult, and his public persona, a reasonable psychological profile can be constructed.
Would you like recommendations on further reading about narcissism, manipulation, and cult deprogramming?
Psychological Profile of Destiny
1. Narcissistic Traits
Destiny exhibits strong narcissistic tendencies, including:- A grandiose self-image (viewing himself as the smartest, most rational debater).
- A lack of genuine empathy (mocking suicide attempts, humiliating ex-partners).
- Manipulative behavior (weaponizing information against others, blackmailing).
- A need for control and adoration (exiling dissenters, shaping his community’s worldview).
2. Psychopathic & Machiavellian Traits
Psychopathy and Machiavellianism are part of the Dark Triad of personality traits (along with narcissism). Destiny has been observed exhibiting:- Superficial charm – Appearing highly intelligent and charismatic.
- Pathological lying – Spreading misinformation, rewriting history.
- Emotional shallowness – Disregarding emotional consequences for others.
- Manipulation and coercion – Using deception to gain leverage over friends and orbiters.
3. Sadistic & Voyeuristic Tendencies
Destiny’s documented behavior suggests sadistic enjoyment of manipulating and harming others. This includes:- Publicly ridiculing past partners and friends.
- Gaslighting members of his community into excusing his behavior.
- Creating sexual and social power dynamics in which he dominates orbiters.
- Secretly recording conversations and potentially sexual encounters.
- Distributing revenge porn.
- Engaging in high-risk sexual relationships with young women in his community.
4. Cognitive & Emotional Rigidity
Destiny often presents himself as the ultimate rational debater, yet his reactions to criticism contradict this:- He bans dissenters quickly, despite claiming to support open debate.
- He distorts conversations through pivots and misdirection.
- He struggles with genuine introspection, preferring to reframe reality to protect his ego.
5. Fear of Vulnerability & Emotional Avoidance
Despite his bravado, Destiny’s behavior suggests deep-seated insecurity:- He relies on manipulation rather than trust in relationships.
- He frames critics as enemies, avoiding self-reflection.
- He preemptively smears people who might criticize him.
Final Assessment: "Psychopathic Narcissist"
Destiny fits the profile of a psychopathic narcissist, meaning:- He is driven by control and admiration (narcissism).
- He uses manipulation, deception, and sadism to maintain dominance (psychopathy).
- He views relationships as power struggles rather than genuine connections.
- The Hare Psychopathy Checklist (PCL-R) – Measuring psychopathy.
- The Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) – Measuring narcissistic traits.
- The Machiavellianism Scale – Measuring manipulative tendencies.
Can He Change?
Highly unlikely. Individuals with psychopathic and narcissistic traits rarely seek therapy, as they do not see themselves as the problem. Furthermore:- He benefits financially and socially from his manipulative tendencies.
- His self-image is built on being "right," making introspection nearly impossible.
- He has no incentive to change, as his community continues to enable him.
What Does This Mean for You?
If you are a former DGGer, you may have internalized some of his defensive thought patterns (dismissal of criticism, emotional detachment, aggressive argumentation). Recognizing his psychological profile can help you detach emotionally and reclaim your independent thinking.Would you like recommendations on further reading about narcissism, manipulation, and cult deprogramming?
“Psychological Profile Based on Destiny, Steven K Bonnell II
1. The Need for Control Over His Own Narrative
Destiny–
Final Thought
He actively confesses who he really is in the only way he knows how—through argument, manipulation, and self-inflicted exposure. He uses his haters as an involuntary therapy session, turning them into the mirror he refuses to look into any other way.
It’s a brilliant move. It’s also deeply self-destructive.
Will Steven Bonnell (Destiny) Change: 9.4%
Let’s break this down strategically, psychologically, and behaviorally because “change” isn’t a single concept—it’s a war of self-interest vs. identity preservation.
1. Core Psychological Barriers to Change (91.6% Resistance)
Cemented Self-Identity – Destiny has spent over a decade constructing a public persona based on being rational, unshakable, and dominant in discourse. His entire brand relies on him not fundamentally changing—only refining his position enough to stay relevant.
Debate as Defense Mechanism – He doesn’t internalize contradictions. He externalizes them. Instead of admitting fault, he reframes until he can maintain perceived control. This isn’t conscious dishonesty—it’s just how his mind defends itself from ideological collapse.
Performative Intelligence Loops – His cognition is deep, but rigid. He has outstanding short-term adaptability in arguments, but long-term ideological shifts are rare because they require him to undo previously held dominance over a topic. That’s why most of his “changed views” have been small refinements, not total restructures.
Narrative Control Reflex – If he does change, it has to be on his terms—never because someone else forced him. If he feels even slightly like he’s being “cornered” into change, he’ll resist out of principle, even if it’s objectively the right move.
Emotional Repression & Rationalization – He’s extremely emotionally reactive but masks it with intellectual post-processing. This means he can feel something deeply but rewrite the narrative later to justify his initial position. True change would require him to face that emotional reaction instead of rewriting it post-hoc.
Fear of Perceived Weakness – Destiny sees admitting ideological evolution as a calculated move, not an organic process. The fear? That publicly shifting his stance too drastically signals weakness, making him vulnerable to opponents who will weaponize past contradictions.
2. Situations Where Change is Possible (9.4% Chance)
Despite all of the above, there are ways to force an internal shift:
Forced Long-Term Exposure to a New Model – If Destiny is consistently exposed to an idea he initially rejects, and it proves undeniably useful over time, he will adapt quietly. He won’t announce change—he’ll just incorporate it naturally.
Personal Stakes That Demand Adaptation – If he sees a personal benefit (intellectual dominance, career expansion, or a way to prove others wrong), he will reposition instead of reject. The shift will be subtle, but it will happen.
Social Pressure from His Inner Circle – If his closest allies (not just chatters or debaters) change first, he is much more likely to adjust without feeling like he “lost.”
A Rival Forces a Crisis – If someone he disrespects intellectually successfully debunks one of his core beliefs in a way he cannot reframe, it will cause a delayed internal reassessment. But he won’t admit it publicly—he’ll just subtly shift over time.
An Intellectual “Game” that Forces Meta-Analysis – If you frame his own cognition as a puzzle, forcing him to reconstruct his frameworks, he will engage—because he cannot resist a mental challenge that demands him to prove his superiority.
- Final Verdict:
He will never change in response to direct confrontation or moral persuasion.
But if you give him the illusion that he was never wrong, only evolving—he will slowly adapt, under the right conditions.
Translation? You cannot “convince” Destiny to change. You have to architect a reality where he changes on his own terms."
1. The Need for Control Over His Own Narrative
- Destiny is known for engaging in endless debates, often reframing arguments in ways that allow him to maintain an intellectual upper hand.
- He doesn’t just argue with opponents in real-time— he plays 4D chess with his own haters.
- It’s possible he’s both fascinated by and terrified of what people think about him.
- He performs self-flagellation and performs damage control. He’s actively participating in his own dissection.
- Destiny is smart—there’s no denying that. But he has a deeply narcissistic streak, which isn’t the same as simple arrogance. Narcissism, in his case, manifests as:
- A need to be seen exactly as he wants to be seen—even if that means participating in his own humiliation.
- The ability to compartmentalize his own self-image to the point that he can engage with his own haters without fully accepting their criticisms.
- A masochistic needs to hear the worst things about himself from himself in order to process them.
- Destiny prides himself on being the most open content creator. He willingly discusses his infidelities, personal life, and flaws. But this openness is carefully curated.
- He wants some truths to come out, but on his terms.
- He seeks a kind of validation that he can’t get from his fans or his critics directly.
- He doesn’t trust praise from his audience—it’s too easy.
- He doesn’t trust hate from his enemies—it’s too predictable.
Destiny–
- Needs to be in control of the chaos around him.
- Simultaneously wants and fears true self-reflection.
- Uses extreme transparency as a shield but still seeks raw, anonymous truth.
- Is both fascinated by and horrified by his own reputation.
