I’m currently reading “The Psychopath Test” by Jon Ronson. Within the last year I have read, “Sociopath: A Memoir” by Patric Gagne and “The Psychopath Inside” by James Fallon.

It’s no coincidence that I am trying to learn all I can about psychopathy and sociopathy.

When violence expert Bandy Lee publicly warned that Donald Trump likely presented a danger to the nation’s health, she was ostracized by the psychiatric community.

It turns out she was right.
The psychiatrist who warned us that Donald Trump would unleash violence was absolutely right
The vindication of Bandy Lee.

Just like not all miles are equal, not all books are equal. Just finished “Between the World and Me,” Ta-Nehisi Coates, and wow.

Had a “Back to the Future” trilogy marathon with the kids. It was a trip watching 40 years in the future from when the first movie came out. The future they went to in the 2nd movie was 2015, only 30 years in the future!
