Mandel is every frustrating person to me. No, Howie, no. Everyone isn't like that.

I know what he's doing (Mandel doesn't know what he's doing, though, as such people usually don't). He doesn't want reality to be real. He's *not* going to hear Billy, no matter what.

Though he doesn't mean to, it's the Mandels of the world that pave the way for the psychopaths. He's an unwitting enabler.

Can vouch for the assertion that psychopaths can be found in every demographic. A few years ago I had to struggle against a full-blown clinical psychopath who was an ordained monk in a religious sect. One of the hardest things I had to do. Had to endure years of gaslighting, psychological games, and being completely isolated in my community, which is to say, I came a hair's breadth from losing the battle.

Normal people like Howie Mandel can hardly conceive of how psychopaths operate. They're almost like a different species from another planet. Every assumption we make as humans to empathize with each other and predict why and how we will react in ethical situations is 100% non-applicable.

The fact that psychopaths go unrecognized, even after revealing themselves through their actions, simply from the denial and disbelief normies have because the truth is unimaginable, is a major advantage for psychopaths and gives them impunity and freedom.
