I don’t agree with everything Sam Vaknin has to say but he bring up a number of important points and debunks things like the alleged high Social Mobility in US.
The most important is I think the mention of Thomas Piketty and the research he did in regards to wealth distribution. It turns out US is no different from the rest of the world and majority of wealth is inherited not acquired through hard work in case you still believe that US is “the Land of Free” or “The Land of Opportunity”.
The search engines immediately bring up the Tax Foundation and the article by dr. Michael Schuyler.
If you red the Phoenicians Part II paper you most likely come across the Schuyler family and who they are.
That’s why they planted the above fellow member of the Schuyler family to refute Piketty’s arguments because they own the big chunk not only of the East Coast.
By the way dr. Sam Vaknin talks about the monopolisation of different domains by known corporations but at the same time he asks everyone to go to Google Scholar where all his science mates publish their papers. No problem with that.
On top of that dr. Vaknin talks about not only conspiracy theories but also conspiracy practices of the super rich but in no way he is a conspiracy theorist. According to him and I reckon some of his fellow researcher conspiracy theorists suffer mental disorders but he is not one of them.
After listening to him for some time I can tell that he is all over the place and picks and chooses depending what suits his agenda. He also repeats lies like gas chambers.
