Quick note just to add that the Kevin Bacon film name references are strictly for entertainment purposes. I.e., no reference to their actual content or characters is intended, only the conceptual resonance in the actual names of the films.
I'm disappointed to learn that Desmet denies the role of individual psychopathy. Extremely disappointed. That's almost bad enough to make me question the basis of everything else he says.
Re Q Anon. I have yet to meet anyone who reads it or takes it seriously. I know someone who thinks it was legit 10-15 years ago. And thinks Q Anon was captured, maybe killed, maybe sitting in a prison somewhere, and his/her name and style was co-opted by the government to spread disinfo among right wingers. I haven’t read it, so I can’t say.
Furries need to be lower on the list.I don't know of any other conventions that have aids vans outside to test for the spread of disease.I don't know of any other cons who have to draw flow charts of who fucked who just to find out who has HIV.I don't know of any other groups that have ''petting zoos'' to appease their zoophilia. 30% of them are openly zoophilic and if I had to guess the actual number is more than half.
You can look up a 3 part doc called The Zoo Files by Toad Mckinley on youtube.Far from the worst of their kind (for that you can look at the zoo sadist saga involving aptly named ''Snake Thing'') but in my opinion their entire community is completely psychopathic.Especially since the less disordered members constantly run interference and cover for the more evil ones.
Good article otherwise,though I don't think the SDEKB as a measuring stick is going to quite catch on.

I spend a lot of time each day reading essays and articles, and this one was the best hands down. Well done! 👏
Pierre Bayle? What’d he do? His dictionary is pretty damn great.
Ja ja, off to consult Igor.
Edit: this is the only reference to Bayle I could find: “ The Southern Land (La Terre australe connue), ascribed by Bayle to Gabriel de Foigny…”
