He will have set your name up as well.

So if you were to create an account and say, hey, I'm Isla, your second name, he would be there too within 48 hours because that's how long it would take for the alert to come through.

So, yeah, it's, you know, behind the curtain isn't the wizard.

It's a little old man.

But the cover slide for that post said, Sam Vaknin wished people dead and no time limit for revenge.

Now, brace yourselves, I have a bit of a longer introduction than normal.

[instrumental music] It's not often you have two diagnosed psychopathic narcissists in your orbit, but that's the strange predicament I find myself in.

And somebody basically says, "Is it this one?" "No." And each time, he finds something about the image to complain about, even though visually it doesn't look any different.

And then the man mutters under his breath, this was, by the time he's done it the 15th occasion, it's, "Well, this was the first image." So on the 15th, Jobs goes, "That's perfect." And he says under his breath, "It's the same, it's the same one that I showed you the first time." In other words, it's not about the supposed imperfections of the image, it's about controlling that individual.

So it was not so much about I don't feel comfortable sat on this sofa looking to my left at you, Isla, it's I need to do something in this moment to assert my authority over you to gain control, so I'm going to be awkward about the seating.

And I, I don't know if you would have heard this because it's early in the series, but, um, the entire shoot nearly fell through because we'd had it all planned.

And like all the others, she's extremely intelligent.

She's a second-year PhD philosophy student.

She explained that Sam Vaknin was her academic idol, not just from afar.

She'd been interacting with him for years, and he'd been repeatedly inviting her to meet for an academic consultation in person, something she'd been unable to do in the years prior.

Uh, now I know that he actually pretty much has only w- one real book.

We'll also get to that.

[laughs] But, uh, yeah, uh, back then, uh, yeah, I approached him as doctor of philosophy, because I'm a student of, of philosophy.

He never, uh, denied it.

Sam's wall is crumbling, and I have more to come, including a young woman who's been devastated to discover her academic idol was not only lying to her, he was grooming her.

There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman.

some kind of abstraction but there is no real me only an entity something illusory and though i can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable i simply am not there

Monsters really do exist.

They just don't always look and sound how we might expect.
