Honest conversations about sanity & morality, the problem of conscience and badness, versus derangement and "illness." Maybe theses categories are more hazy than we think & deserve more attention.

While I do think it was very mean for Christina to make such a taunting video about Lauren's dead brother, it's also clear to me that Lauren was dishonest in the way she attempted to rebut Christina's criticisms and concerns. While this subject is delicate and distasteful, I do think it's important to call out this dishonesty, and I think it says a lot that Lauren would be anything less than completely honest when offering explanations about the natural consent issues around any discussion of a post-mortem retrieval of sperm from her deceased brother.

How serious are Kouri Richins' latest Brady / Giglio motions related to alleged drug dealer Cody Crozier's recantation of earlier testimony that he supplied fentanyl to Carmen Lauber (partner of Kouri's housekeeper)? I think this is a good opportunity to take a realistic look at how pundits have a motive to make cases seem more interesting than they really are, and also to explore how the "law nerd" phenomenon can lead to excessive fascination with shiny details & jargon at the expense of the bigger "common sense" picture.

Courtney Clenney, the OnlyFans model accused of murdering her boyfriend Christian Obumseli: I think the coverage of this case is overlooking an important psychological layer of Courtney and Christian's relationship- namely how Romantic Codependency and combine with Borderline Personality Disorder to create a dangerous buildup of resentment-fueled rage.

Finally got a new microphone :-) Going a little deeper w Lauren's Ambition, religious background & possible addiction angle. Not sure yet, but I might do one more video on Lauren, to try to dive deeper into her ambition and pattern of seeking to possess things & crossing lines to do so. These videos aren't easy to make, because I do wish the best for Lauren and I care for her -- even though I can also see that she't got real issues & has been pretty thoughtless & even mean to a lot of people.

I had a chance to think about the Lauren situation more carefully, and I re-watched her 9-hr stalking video more carefully. It may not always be easy, but I try to see things from the point of view of the other person. Having thought about it carefully, and even though there may be some narcissistic issues in the picture, I really don't think Lauren is a narcissist at all. I do think there are issues here, but I think we can understand this better by looking from a different angle. I try to address this in the latest video...

Finally putting together a series w final thoughts on Lori Vallow's crimes and personality. Her case also exposes a lot of issues with true crime media, which I think may be distorting how we perceive things like evil versus wickedness. Sorry .. been so busy this past year, but I do want to start uploading more videos when possible :-)

LUIGI MANGIONE... this looks like a solid match. So I was wrong. The eyebrows weren't fake, and so he wasn't concealing his appearance as much as I suspected. This is a very intelligent Ivy Leage graduate, sort ot a Ted Kaczynski type.... a very talented and intelligent anti-capitalist activist, but also capable of committing terrorrism in support of his ideals. I do still think he was workign in coordination with others, so to me this is still a conspiracy case.
