The Blind Spots of Four Archetypes

The article diagnoses four archetypes—the SME-By-Declaration, the LinkedIn Thought Leader, the Drift-Blind Executive, and an implied fourth—who each fail to perceive insider threat accurately due to structural blind spots. Each archetype confuses privilege with permissions or morality, misreads emotional signals as attitude or HR issues, and cannot detect drift because their frameworks were built for something else. The recurring conclusion is that none of them can see the dynamic interplay of identity, access, emotional state, and drift trajectory that constitutes real privilege physics.
