47:43 going from causing nuclear war to pole dancing in the same question is wild

34:19 The truth matters. That one fact on Dahmer was clinically important in the study of serial killers. It made him an outlier. When someone is truly evil, adding to their depredations is pointless, and over time makes them appear like they have some bizarre power that was never there. (Stalin is a good example.) 40:42 I don’t like it when authors insert themselves into their stories, unless that’s an intentional story choice. (Stephen King makes that choice in a few of his series, but he did it later in his career, and it didn’t jar me.) When it just shows up, it throws me right out. (Kevin Hearne is especially bad at this.) I read several authors that I would not get along with on a personal level, that doesn’t stop me from continuing to read their works or enjoying them. As a writer myself, my life and imagination is mined for all the stories I create, how could it be otherwise? 52:17 “Have you ever run into someone, who you are talking to, and it doesn’t matter how well you try to explain it and the different ways you explain it, the information just is not reaching them….” All. The. Time. 56:20 ah, Kace. He grew on me, but I really didn’t like him at first. As for cheaters, I find them weak willed opportunists undeserving of trust. 1:02:33 That’s a personal boundary issue. When someone snaps at me over my experiences when they don’t align with theirs, that’s on them. It’s also a sign of emotional immaturity. 1:06:59 There are several authors I enjoy reading that I would never consider having a conversation or a beer with. That’s fine. That’s why I love reading in the first place, I don’t have to interact with the author or know their life histories to enjoy their art. For what it’s worth, I don’t understand those who have to know every tiny detail of an author’s life ‘to make sure’ their stories are worth reading. Sounds like a lot of pointless anxiety to me. I enjoy the questions, though I don’t always have the brain power to answer all of them. 😆

13:23 Yes, mine was from direct experience. I found many of the questions posted fascinating, especially when the answers were so different from one another.

Thankfully the election is over and the requests for political art have stopped, now it's back to friends on Facebook sending me thier 4yo grandkids' art asking if they are as talented as I was at that age and will they be as good as me someday (the answer is always yes) and my pal who travels the country visiting cigar lounges telling me I'd make a million if I did "cigar art" What even is cigar art?? Or the person who needs me to letter a poster for thier event becuase if I'm good at oil painting I must be good at bubble letters in marker. "Aw come on, do it for me, I can't even draw a straight line"

@58:19 We are comparing the most ethical murder to the most unethical cheating. Should we not try to make a more solid argument by comparing like with like. Or test our view by comparing the most unethical murder to the most ethical infidelity (something like forced abusive marriage, fall in love with someone else but cant be openly together). So this vs the most unethical remorseless thrill-kill. Would your opinion about what is worse not change a little? Then can we compare like with like: average murder to average cheating. I dont know but i think my opinion would be altered when it comes to my own life, but when speaking of someone else's, i have to put the value of their physical life ahead of the value of my morals. I can sacrifice my own life for my morals, but i cannot expect to sacrifice someone else's, righ? So isnt the preservation of human life just as valuable as the preservation of our morals? I might be willing to put my own life on the line for my morals, but i could not, would not, someone else's. This is a tough one- I gotta think about this much more.
