There is one more pattern, which on a subtle and hidden level can be even more devastating to unfortunate victims.
A person has learned a system of rules, values, morals or psychological concepts, which to him are logically convincing. He accepts them as generally valid and as a wise basis and guideline for human interaction.
But he nevertheless excludes himself entirely from applying this system upon himself. He does not do this consciously, he is unaware of the compartmentalization of his mind. He has and pursues the same goals as George Simon's (entries 629 and 661) disturbed characters. These goals are derived only from the subjectively alleged entitlement to the unrestricted fulfillment of all own needs.
I call him a robot, because he is controlled by two programs. The main program is the goal program, which determines, that he always pursues his own needs and wishes with unhesitating priority. The second program is the auxiliary methods program. It contains all general human rules of interactions and expectations needed as instrumental intelligence. This program is to be applied only selectively, whenever it serves to get advantages from others.
This robot lives in a divided mental world, where real and virtual or distant people are perceived as categorically distinct.
The robot theoretically accepts rules as generally valid for all humans but fails to ever recognize any person in real life as a human of the quality to whom to apply the rules. Instead he experiences himself as only interacting with entities, whom he mistakingly perceives as mere commodities existing for his convenience. He experiences them as either functioning, when they serve his needs or else as being flawed, when they refuse or fail to function.
In the robot's perturbed minds, none of those entities, whom he meets in real life, is ever considered as a human suitable to mentally apply the system of accepted behavioral rules to. He is unable to recognize such humans, when he meets them. Instead, the robot experiences humans as elusive abstract sources of text or other creative and intellectual stimulation. A robot's real world is populated by commodities, while humans to be treated with respect and consideration are figures from fairy tales.
A robot with a good memory can become an excellent bluffer as described in entry 287. He can reproduce learned thoughts of others to an amorphous audience, while he himself does not understand any of what he is theoretically talking about. Due to his inability to recognize real humans as non-commodities, he deprives himself of ever experiencing in real life, what he reproduces verbally like a parrot.

The robot is impeded from the benefits of feedback. He considers the commodified victims as too insignificant and flawed to take any heed of their disagreement. Abstract distant humans, with whom he may have contact, are ignorant of his commodifying real people.
The robot does not attempt to hide his intended commodification, as he is not aware of the disagreement to be elicited. People usually are able to avoid harm from such a robot, when they meet him in real life and are immediately and overly treated as commodities.
On the internet, such a robot is a high risk for a woman. By any form of initial communication over any distance, a woman is represented mainly by emails, a few pictures or at the most a voice over the telephone. Thus she is abstract and not real, as long as she is not in the direct reach of the robot's commodification.
Under such circumstances the woman elicits initially the robot's response and behavioral disposition for humans. She is prone to be mislead, when he talks convincingly about things, which in reality he has no comprehension for. She develops wrong expectations, she hopes to be treated by him as in reality only the author of the parroted books would have treated her.
Meeting him means disaster for her. As soon as she appears as a real person in his life, she is automatically redefined in his perception to be henceforth a commodity like every real life person. Everything of what he had expressed to her as to someone being considered a human, is instantly annihilated. Nothing of it remains valid. As a commodity, she now is outside the scope of any previously accepted obligations to her. Now he expects all to be at his convenience.
