      ​@markevans8206 the truth is systematically marginalized and mixed up on purpose and then polarized. And then hidden in plain sight mocking us.
      If you don't understand that a group of d bags actually do stimulate wars .sickness. division. Misinformation. Poverty etc
      Then you are kinda missing super obvious. It's a matter of perception. To what is other wise basic af if you aren't brainwashed.
      So I can't stand right winged stuff like Jones or q .but it's muddled up on purpose because humans don't sort .they follow tribal groups. It's control.
      It's not hard to understand tbh.and what max did wrong was not process and make peace with it .

The whole point is that it's so horrible that it should force those in power to act, and cause everyone else to be so outraged that they force leaders to act.

      ​@@MeowNow494 I think there's a big difference in their philosophy. George Carlin used to talk about being a "frustrated idealist", but then he realized that this was just the way humanity is and nobody would ever be able to change it, at least not in his lifetime. So he decided to mock humanity, and he had a lot of success as a comedian/philosopher doing just that. I think it's a much better approach than being a frustrated idealist. No, our reality is not optimal, and it will probably never be optimal, but that doesn't mean we should sink into darkness and despair. Destroying ourselves will certainly not change anything. Maybe we should all just smile and learn to mock this reality instead.

      My sister is a Doctor of Psychology, where I spent my time in the historical records offices. She has ZERO street smarts, absolutely no common sense and her "logical" explanation comes from a funded education where she was told by someone else what to think.
      The dead guy - had a point!!!
      The SECT that is was speaking of was suppressed from 17732-1814. Their first monument to the war dead is surrounded by Fascist symbols, the same as their monument to the "The Father of the Motherland."
      The problem is in the created college, they don't teach United States History - so, to quote actual facts sounds "Crazy"
      CRAZY - is that Francis Scott Key was a founding member of the American Bible Society (1816) The day after the Key Bridge collapsed Donald Trump began selling the American Bible and Jerusalem hosted the Red Heifer Conference.
      People can call it a conspiracy, but they better check world news before pitching someone in an insane asylum.

Nothing really new going on but the new weapons of technology and other advances put in use by those in power. I’m afraid for the mentally ill to understand the state of the world because they can’t handle it and don’t know what to do or how to handle the stress… and also mix it up with things unrelated to reality because of a faulty filter (as if things weren’t already bad enough!).

From his history it appears to me that he definately was having mental health issues but the onset and behaviors were definately presented as outliers. I replayed the begining of the video and it struck me that his first documented conspiricy theory event was 10 days after his mother died. Here is my theory: Max had a mild mental break probably at the appropriate age range and his mother was basically keeping him under control until her passing. I'm guessing it was obvious to family members prior to his mothers passing that he had some mental health issues. His mother was his mental health provider.

However, one can see evidence of this in their life that they lead. No excuses, no making up images of them praying on their knees because one does not exist in real life. Every Christian Trump know has made a public declaration of faith when they were converted. Does the ones that you personally put faith in to fix things even pray? If so to whom. "Its time we see politicians, left or right as they really are. Not like we wish them to be.". I can not remember the name of the person who originally said that quote but it is so true. God bless. Stay safe.

    I always thoroughly enjoy your commentary, Dr. Grande.
    I've had a long fascination with sociology, and believe that much of the perceived increase in violent, extreme, paranoid, and conspiratorial behavior around us must proceed from a general malaise regarding institutions.
    I say this because I've come to believe more and more that societal norms and broadly shared institutions give a good measure of security and groundedness to a people-- and of course I would hope that those same institutions were sound on their own, regardless of their effect.
    Many of our most distressing characters in the news are exhibiting signs of severe alienation, intense mistrust as an ever-present companion in their reasoning, and a great absence of anchoring beliefs.
    We will often call this "mental illness", and that's useful enough, but it is more accurately described as broad cultural decadence and doubtfulness.
    I don't mean at all that this man wasn't mentally ill. I mean that the loss of institutional definiteness will promote latent mental illness into overt action. Many of us live more precariously than we'd want anyone to know. At a point of pressure, our limits are reached and then passed, and our potential for abnormal psychological states is optimized.
    I hope this is in some way helpful or promoting of useful consideration.

      I like a lot of what you say... it makes me think of how sometimes the insanity isn't all in the person experiencing the mental health symptoms, it can also to large degree be in the society and that individual is just bot willing or able to surpress their understanding of that and has the psychosis tale hold of them as they see more and more evidence of the societal/Institutional dysfunction while frustrated and dismayed at how others refuse to acknowledge it or actively ridicule those who take it seriously.
      I'm disappointed in how Dr. Grande leans into the conviction that conspiracy theories have no basis in reality. Certainly many of them are poor quality or have some absurd elements to them, but many have some basis in reality, some fiction and many times there are unseem depths that few people at all are aware of. For example, think of how people thought about Hollywood prior to Harvey Weinstein being exposed... now learning about Puff Daddy, there's such a sickening depth of darkness coming into view and much worse beneath I'm sure.
      There's much worse going on than Dr. Grande or most of the rest of us have a clue about. We shouldn't dismiss c. theories in general, as in anything rhat sounds like one shouldn't cause us to stop thinking and express contempt.
