Philosopher Stefan Molyneux examines the Lindsay Clancy case, a Massachusetts nurse and mother who is charged with killing her three young children. The defense claims postpartum psychosis. He reviews her mental health decline, the heavy medication response that may have made things worse, the family’s hidden distress, and the hard questions about protecting children when a parent loses contact with reality.

00:00:00Hi there, it's Stefan Molyneux from Freedom Aid. Hope you're doing well. I'm back, baby. So I'm
00:00:04going to be debating in Nashville, September the 12th, 2026. So I hope you'll join me there. I'm
00:00:12going to be there all weekend, lots of meets and greets, chats, and I'd love to meet you,
00:00:15shake your hand, find out what good and ill philosophy has done for you. So there's going
00:00:20to be Nashville, of course. September the 12th is the actual debate. I'll be around all weekend,
00:00:25and you can go to wordwardebate.com. That's wordwardebate.com. Get your tickets. Not very
00:00:33expensive. It's going to be a fantastic night. I'm back, I'm true to form, and I have more than half
00:00:39a decade of pent-up public speaking energy to unleash on the crowd. So you'll get a Richard
00:00:44Dreyfuss side tan if you turn away. All right. So I'm probably going to get to one question today.
00:00:51There's a bunch of questions that have come in, and I'm going to leap into the first question here.
00:00:59This is the Lindsay Clancy case. And let's talk about Lindsay Clancy, and then I will get to the
00:01:08question just so I can give you some sort of some background on this. So Lindsay Clancy built a
00:01:17seemingly idyllic life with her husband and three young children, all under the age of six,
00:01:22in Duxbury, Massachusetts. However, prosecutors allege that image was shattered in January 2023,
00:01:28when Clancy brutally strangled her children to death. Clancy, 35, is accused of three counts of
00:01:36first-degree murder, and there's a big trial that's underway, and it was delayed for a while.
00:01:41Of course, she's facing a mandatory life sentence of convicted of the murder charges.
00:01:46While prosecutors claim her actions were deliberate, Clancy has pleaded not guilty to all charges,
00:01:53and her defense team contends she suffered from undiagnosed postpartum psychosis at the time
00:01:59of the killings. Now a jury will decide, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay. She was born,
00:02:04the mother, Lindsay, August 11, 1990. Raised in Connecticut, she attended a rigorous accelerated
00:02:11nursing program at Massachusetts General Hospital, then worked as a labor and delivery nurse at the
00:02:16facility for nine years. I don't want to say anything bad about nurses, because I suppose I'm
00:02:27going to be dependent on them someday, but nurses in general, I think the Latin phrase is a TFN.
00:02:36Again, nurses in general are totally freaking nuts. People in the, women in particular, in the helping
00:02:43professions are generally not well themselves. A lot of therapists have mental disorders, so a lot
00:02:49of times people want to go and heal others to avoid the need to heal themselves, right? So they try
00:02:55to
00:02:55bring other people to reality, and they get a certain amount of vanity. It tends to distance themselves
00:03:00from their own problems. So again, I don't know anything about her as a person other than what
00:03:05we're reading here, but I think I went on one date with one nurse, and I was like, whoa, you
00:03:12are
00:03:14not deeply in reality. Plus, of course, it generally is a redirect, not in this case, because she had three
00:03:22kids in general. Pets causes ideology and sympathy for outsiders. It's all just a sort of perverted
00:03:30and misdirected maternal instinct, and so on. So I think it's interesting. She worked as a labor and
00:03:36delivery nurse for nine years, which means she was around a lot of pregnant women. She was around a lot
00:03:41of babies, and so on, right? So she's not like, it's not like she had no experience with pregnancy and
00:03:47childbirth, and then got caught by surprise by her own experiences. So I thought that was
00:03:52interesting. So December 2016, Lindsay married Patrick Clancy. The couple had three children,
00:03:58Cora Dawson and Callan. Susan Clancy, Patrick's mother, said she was a fun-loving, doting wife and
00:04:05mother. She loved her kids, and she was a nurturing mother who smiled all the time. Oh, it's your first
00:04:13warning sign. Oh, yes, that is your very, very first warning sign, which is that people are saying
00:04:20what is sentimental and what they wish were true rather than what is actually true. So they got
00:04:27married in 2016, and then it was seven, six and change years later when she murdered, or allegedly,
00:04:37I think she murdered, but I think she's admitted that she murdered them, but she's saying she did it
00:04:41because she was a psychotic. So this means that Patrick, her husband, let's assume they dated for
00:04:50a while, let's say a year or two before they got married. So that means that his mother, Susan Clancy,
00:05:00Patrick's mother, it means that his mother knew this woman who suffered from significant, significant,
00:05:09extreme mental health issues. We'll get more into the medication side in a bit. But she had serious,
00:05:15serious problems. Those problems don't generally come out of nowhere. It's very unusual for someone
00:05:20to be diagnosed with schizophrenia in their 30s. It's normally a sort of 16 to 24 kind of age range.
00:05:28But what it means is that she's saying, oh, she was wonderful, she was lovely, she smiled all the time,
00:05:32she was the best, she was the greatest, and so on. Now, hey, I mean, it's tough to comment on
00:05:38these kinds of
00:05:38things, I get it. But this woman annihilated your bloodline, like the, right, if this is what happened,
00:05:45right? So, of course, you know, I want to be clear, these alleged, just take it for granted, nothing's, you
00:05:50know,
00:05:50until it's proven in the court of law, innocent, until proven guilty, and so on. But, you know,
00:05:56it seems to be the case. So, if you've ever been around people, boy, this is a tough one, man.
00:06:03If you've ever been around people, like the Blanche Dubois kind of characters, the Willie Loman
00:06:08kind of characters from Street Can Named Desire and Death of a Salesman, respectively,
00:06:13as Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller, I'm telling you, man, those people who desperately will
00:06:23for the ideal rather than the real, very dangerous, right? Very dangerous people to be around as a
00:06:32whole, because they wish for things to be a certain way, they have sentimentality about things a certain
00:06:38way, and then when reality confronts them, they get aggressive, always. They'll try and be nice,
00:06:46but if you keep pushing, you get this willed, angry rage at the root. I'm not talking about this
00:06:53woman in particular, I don't know her for, but in terms of like, I've dealt with a lot of people
00:06:57who are embedded in unreality over the last 45 years of philosophy, so I've dealt with a lot of
00:07:03people embedded in unreality, and if you push them on their unreality, you get this kind of cold rage.
00:07:10We just saw this with, it was a Dana Bash and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did some CNN interview where
00:07:15she was just spewing the most mindless NPC pharmaceutical big corporation bribed and programmed
00:07:22propaganda, and he was pushing back with facts, and she just gets colder and then wants to change
00:07:26the subject. Cornering people who are devoted to profitable delusions with actual facts, they view
00:07:33you as a predator. They view you as, you know, it's fall, the farmer's getting his crops in, and you're
00:07:38just set in fire to all of his crops, and thus his family will not make it through the winter.
00:07:42Once people become addicted to unreality, bringing the truth to them turns you into a kind of very
00:07:49dangerous predator that they will fight to the death to avoid or dismantle, so nobody smiles all the
00:07:57time, right? So it's, oh, she was wonderful, she was nurturing, she was amazing, she was beautiful, she
00:08:01smiles all the time, that's not true. It can't be true. My wife is just a happy, about the happiest
00:08:09person that I know. She doesn't smile all the time. She doesn't smile all the time. She smiles while
00:08:18climbing stairs. She smiles while having sex. She smiles while doing her taxes. She smiles when stubbing
00:08:24her toe. Like, what is that? It's a horror movie. Like, the smile thing. So, okay, smiles all the time.
00:08:29I know it's a hyperbole, and you don't take it totally. She smiles in her sleep. She smiles at
00:08:33the dentist, and the dentist can't fix her teeth, because she's just smile, smile, smiling. So,
00:08:40I get that it's hyperbole, but that is an unreality to begin with. So, if the mother of the husband
00:08:48of the
00:08:49woman who's alleged to have killed her children, if the mother is addicted to unreality, then her son,
00:08:55if he hasn't confronted that, and his mother, will be helpless in the face
00:09:00of his wife's unreality. Do you see what I mean? If you conform to the unreality of your mother,
00:09:07how can you resist the unreality of your wife? Because there's a foundational principle.
00:09:15You conform to female unreality. And again, I'm not trying to, you know, go deep into,
00:09:19I can't diagnose anyone. I'm just, this is just my sort of thoughts about this level of
00:09:26really addicted, hyper-sentimentality. Oh, she was the best. She was wonderful. She smiled all the
00:09:32time. She was the greatest. Not true. But if the son was raised with that, and I don't know if
00:09:41they're Christian, I would put a huge bet if I was a betting man on the fact that they are
00:09:46Christian,
00:09:46for reasons I'll get into. But Christians, a lot of Christians have this performative
00:09:56aspect to them. It's true of other religions. I know a little bit more about the Christian side
00:09:59of things. They have this performative aspect of things, where things can't be wrong, because if
00:10:03things go wrong, that's kind of like a punishment from God. So everything has to be good. Everything
00:10:07has to be perfect. Everything has to be great and wonderful and lovely and so on, because
00:10:12unhappiness is like a sin, because if you're deep in your faith, you're happy. And if you're unhappy,
00:10:17that means that you've drifted from faith, you lose status points in the religious community,
00:10:21and so there's this absolutely, you know, white-lipped, white-knuckled, hanging on for
00:10:27grim death to all signs of positivity and happiness, and everything's great, and so on. And that means that
00:10:34you're good with the Lord, and you're walking the path of righteousness, and you're in the full flower
00:10:40of your benevolent faith, and you just can't have problems, because problems are kind of like a sin.
00:10:47So, Lindsay began experiencing postpartum anxiety following the birth of both Cora and Dawson. Those
00:10:54are the first two kids. After Dawson's birth, she managed her symptoms with exercise, meditation,
00:10:59and therapy. After Callan's birth, however, the symptoms grew in severity. Now,
00:11:09if her mother-in-law had said, we were very concerned that things were going badly,
00:11:17she did seem to be unhappy, and so on. So, if the mother-in-law, if her mother-in-law,
00:11:23is saying, everything was great, she was a wonderful, dirty mother, she smiled all the time,
00:11:26it means that her son, right, the mother-in-law of the woman, her son and her daughter-in-law
00:11:34were
00:11:34keeping secrets from her. They weren't bringing the facts, they weren't bringing the reality,
00:11:37they weren't bringing the truth, because she struggled with significant anxiety, and then
00:11:43psychosis, which is a detachment from, a true detachment from reality. Look, obviously, I'm not
00:11:49a psychologist or a psychiatrist or anything like that, I'm just a moral philosopher, but the way that
00:11:54I sort of divide mental issues are, do you have a problem with your internal state, or do you have
00:12:03a problem with reality as a whole, right? And I remember many years ago, when we used to have
00:12:12barbecues for free domain, people would come by, we'd have, you know, very interesting chats about
00:12:17philosophy and self-knowledge and all that kind of stuff, and sometimes people would bring up, you know,
00:12:21issues that they had with their own internal states of happiness or motivation or things like that.
00:12:27But I remember one year, this Indian fellow came by, and I had to eventually ask him, well, just tell
00:12:34him to leave, because he was almost like hallucinating, like, and philosophy can't help with
00:12:41hallucinations, right? Philosophy hopefully can help with sort of thinking and reasoning and self-knowledge
00:12:49and truth and so on. Philosophy can help with all of that kind of stuff. But philosophy, it can't help
00:12:54you. Like, if you took LSD and you were seeing, you know, giant iridescent manatees floating through
00:13:02the visual landscape of dark side of the moon, then philosophy couldn't help you, because your
00:13:07entire sensory apparatus is disordered and you're in a state of a waking dream. Like, you know, to take a
00:13:14silly example, we all get psychotic, like, every night. Every night we have these dreams that are not
00:13:22just detached from reality, they're detached from causality. So, you know, if you're in the forest and
00:13:30you see a Chinese dragon because you're, you know, you've got some visual disorder hallucinating, but
00:13:36you still see the trees and the trees are real. In dreams, there's nothing that's real, right? It's not like
00:13:41reality plus or minus accuracy, but it is. So, like, every night our brain completely detaches from
00:13:48reality and just plays around with a bunch of stuff that is all made up, which we believe at the
00:13:55time.
00:13:55So, quote, nightly psychosis is actually mentally healthy. I think dreams are important and very
00:14:00helpful and healthy. So, if you are depressed, that is an internal state, but you're not hallucinating.
00:14:10When psychosis kicks in, right, you hear things that aren't there, you see things that aren't there,
00:14:15and it always seems to be these negative voices telling you to do terrible things. I don't know
00:14:19that anybody has psychosis where they say, you must now spend the next 20 years curing cancer.
00:14:23It always seems to be kind of negative stuff. So, all of this collapse in mental health was going on,
00:14:30and the mother-in-law, right, the husband's father, mother, sorry, husband's mother is saying,
00:14:35oh, no, she was wonderful. She smiled all the time. She was great, which means that they were keeping
00:14:38it secret, right, which means that they can't bring negative things to the husband's family.
00:14:45You ever have that with people? If something negative, like genuinely negative, is happening
00:14:55to you. Sometimes there are people in your life who steadfastly don't want to know. Now, if they're
00:15:06Christian, and she's hearing, in a sense, demonic voices telling her to harm people, then if you bring
00:15:14that to a Christian mother or mother-in-law, there is a great deal of fear and tension and anxiety,
00:15:21because, in the Christian lens, that would be viewed as a kind of demonic possession, and what
00:15:25did you do that was wrong and that was bad, and how you, out of sight or out of sync
00:15:30with Jesus and
00:15:31the Lord, that demons are getting a hold of your consciousness, like it's a hole that you've got
00:15:34to hide. It can't be organic. You've got to hide these kinds of sins from your community and those
00:15:43around you. That leaves you very, very isolated. And again, a lot of this is theory. I obviously don't
00:15:48know their religious status of this, but I'll tell you why I think it is this way in a sec.
00:15:54All right, so
00:16:00so after the third birth, the symptoms grew in severity. After a period of hypomanic behavior,
00:16:07so manic behavior is, I can take on 10 cops, I can fly, you know, I'm going to write the
00:16:13greatest
00:16:13novel in human history in four hours, or something like that, right? That is really manic stuff.
00:16:18Hypomanic, it sounds like hypermanic, like even more, but hypomanic is elevated energy and confusion
00:16:23and chaos without actually rising to the definition of mania. And again, like, please, please understand,
00:16:31I just, I have to say this because I want to be clear. I'm a complete amateur in all of
00:16:35this stuff.
00:16:35I'm not credentialed in any way. These are just my thoughts. Don't take any of these as facts about
00:16:43mental health and so on. Talk to an expert. These are just my thoughts. So after a period of
00:16:50hypomanic behavior, heightened energy and mood, Lindsay, quote, experienced debilitating anxiety,
00:16:57insomnia, sleeping only approximately three hours per night, and exhaustion during the day. She also
00:17:02heard voices and experienced suicidal ideation, right? So she heard voices and experienced suicidal
00:17:11ideation. Now, suicidal ideation is, to my, again, obviously amateur understanding, it's when you're
00:17:21thinking about suicide, you're thinking about dying, but you don't have like a next Thursday, you don't have
00:17:29a plan, you haven't bought a weapon or something like that, right? So that is, that is what, so there's
00:17:39ordinary, auditory hallucinations, you're hearing voices, and so on. That is very, right? So this is
00:17:48from another article, despite her suicidal, despite his wife's suicidal thoughts, the husband said,
00:17:53we were told by doctors, if she doesn't have a plan, and if she's disturbed by the thoughts,
00:17:59then they're probably just thoughts.
00:18:05So, if that's true, you know, it's tough, you know, I mean, again, I'm no expert, but I think that
00:18:12if you say, I'm gonna do some terrible thing to myself
00:18:16two days from now, then maybe you get institutionalized. If you say, well, you know,
00:18:19I'm just thinking about this kind of stuff, then observe and, and watch and, and, and medicate,
00:18:27right? Medication, medication, medication, as it is called. And to me, that kind of self-deletion stuff
00:18:35is also associated with a desire to harm others. Like, if you're willing to harm yourself,
00:18:40you're much more likely to be able to have a desire to harm others. So Lindsay, this is from the
00:18:45article,
00:18:45Lindsay sought help from postpartum mental health specialists, although she was only diagnosed with
00:18:49generalized anxiety disorder. Now, she insisted she needed to be hospitalized for mental health
00:18:55concerns in December 2022, her husband told this magazine, but she never received a more severe
00:19:01diagnosis. January 1st, 2023, I guess that must have been quite the, uh, who's afraid of Virginia Woolf
00:19:09New Year's Eve, right? She was admitted to an inpatient program at a top psychiatric institution,
00:19:14but was discharged after just five days. Patrick later confirmed Lindsay had been prescribed and
00:19:24tried more than a dozen medications. Medications. Uh, we'll get into that in a sec. So according to
00:19:32prosecutors, Lindsay took her daughter to the pediatrician and played in the snow with her
00:19:36children on January 24th, right? So she was admitted, um, first and then let out after five days to one
00:19:45to six, I assume. So this is, um, uh, less than two weeks later. So she played in the snow
00:19:54with her
00:19:54children on January 24th, 2023, before asking Patrick to pick up, take out for dinner and medication at a
00:20:00nearby pharmacy. She was allegedly fully coherent according to witnesses. When he returned home,
00:20:07apparently he was only gone for like half an hour, according to some reports. When he returned home,
00:20:11Patrick discovered Lindsay semi-conscious and bleeding outside. She claimed she had tried to
00:20:15jump out a window in a suicide attempt. Inside, Patrick found all three of their children in the
00:20:22home's basement. They allegedly had exercise bands wrapped around their necks. Two of the kids were
00:20:30pronounced dead at the hospital the same day, while Callum was placed on life support but died
00:20:36on January the 27th, so a couple of days later. All three died of, quote, ligature strangulation.
00:20:45So February 7th, Lindsay was arraigned from her bed in a Boston hospital and charged with three
00:20:49counts. Each of murder strangulation and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. They later
00:20:58dropped the strangulation charges because they said, look, it's sort of pointless if we've already
00:21:01got her on the murder stuff or charging with the murder stuff. She pleaded not guilty to the charges.
00:21:07The judge ordered her to be held at a medical facility until her treatment following the incident
00:21:11was complete. A month later, on October, in October 2023, Clancy was ordered, this is the mother, to be
00:21:21held without bail and to remain at the hospital. She's still at the facility as she waits trial.
00:21:26It just gets worse and worse. This whole story just gets worse and worse. She's now a paraplegic and
00:21:31confined to a wheelchair following her suicide attempt, so she jumped from the window. Obviously,
00:21:35she landed badly. Not that you can land well, but she landed badly, and I assume there was spinal
00:21:40damage or whatever it is, so now she's now a paraplegic. So, Clancy doesn't deny killing her
00:21:48three children, but has argued in pretrial motions that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis
00:21:53at the time of their deaths, and thus not guilty by an insanity defense.
00:22:03The defense team previously petitioned for a bifurcated trial with one phase to determine guilt
00:22:08and another for criminal responsibility, and Clancy was reportedly willing to admit to her role in her
00:22:12children's death in writing, so only the second part would be considered. If she's found mentally
00:22:16incompetent, of course, she doesn't go to prison. She goes to a mental health facility until she's
00:22:21cured. This request has been denied, so it will be a standard trial. Sorry, it's just absolutely
00:22:29appalling. The poor children. The last thing I want to do is make some kind of tragedy like this about
00:22:37me, but I was basically locked in a small apartment for two years with my mother going mad, and she
00:22:52ended
00:22:52up being institutionalized. I nuked her with psychotropics, I assume, and she's never worked
00:22:57again, and it was a dangerous time. I mean, she was like throwing plates. She threw a knife at my
00:23:04head
00:23:04once, so I, and it's funny, you know, I don't really think about this stuff too much. It's been
00:23:13a long time ago. It has been 45 years, really, since I lived with my mother, with one brief exception,
00:23:20but the poor kids watching their mother go mad, and people who are, quote, losing their minds,
00:23:33just an amateur phrase, of course, people who are losing their minds, extremely dangerous,
00:23:36extremely dangerous, absolutely volatile, unpredictable, with seemingly no impulse control.
00:23:41That's sort of one of the things that I saw, so it just reminds me, I was old that these
00:23:49kids were,
00:23:50I was all six and under, I was 11, so it was a different kind of situation, but a very
00:23:55dangerous,
00:23:56a very dangerous situation. You are dealing with a truly demonic and otherworldly kind of
00:24:06chaos, impulsivity, aggression, and you can't, you can't reason with people who are in this kind
00:24:12of state, and I'm not saying that that's a particular fault of theirs, because who knows
00:24:16what's going on in particular, but, oof. So, just weeks after Lindsay's arraignment, Patrick,
00:24:25the husband, issued a statement saying he had forgiven her, and that her passion taught me how to be a
00:24:34better father. That is an astounding thing. That is an astounding thing.
00:24:57So, this is another article. This is, so he said his wife Lindsay had a condition, he didn't specify
00:25:05what it was, but said their marriage was wonderful and diametrically grew stronger as her condition
00:25:11rapidly worsened. Their marriage improved, got stronger as her condition rapidly worsened.
00:25:24He wrote,
00:25:27The shock and pain is excruciating and relentless. I'm constantly reminded of them, and with the
00:25:33little sleep I get, I dream about them on repeat.
00:25:40Any parent knows it is impossible to understand how much you will love your kids until you have them.
00:25:45Amen to that. He says the same goes for understanding the devastation of losing them,
00:25:49Cora, Dawson, and Callan were the essence of my life, and I'm completely lost without them.
00:25:57That's, uh, yeah, that's wild.
00:26:04Um, Clancy said Cora, quote, had an infectious laugh and was stunningly beautiful.
00:26:12He remembered Dawson's beautiful, bold brown eyes that beamed with friendship, and he called Callan
00:26:17an incredibly happy and vibrant baby, constantly smiling. And again, like, the mother is suffering
00:26:24from catastrophic depression, anxiety, insomnia. And I know it got later, it got worse with the last
00:26:31kid. And she's hearing voices and suicidal ideation and so on. I mean,
00:26:38how can the kids be this vibrant and happy and bubbly and enthusiastic and all kinds of wonderful,
00:26:46incredibly happy, constantly smiling? It's the same thing again, constantly smiling. It's the same thing
00:26:51that the mother-in-law said about his wife. He says about the baby.
00:27:00How can the, how, how, how can you constantly be smiling when your mother is losing her mind
00:27:07and ends up, you know, killing you?
00:27:14Ah, Callan died with enormous courage despite being so little, Clancy said.
00:27:19Maybe it was his way of demonstrating what I need to do to press forward. I'll always try to draw
00:27:24inspiration from him. He'll always be my little hero.
00:27:34He also shared thoughts about his wife. She's recently been portrayed largely by people who've never met her
00:27:39and never knew who the real Lindsay was. Our marriage was wonderful and diametrically grew stronger
00:27:45as her condition rapidly worsened. I took as much pride in being her husband as I did in being a
00:27:51father
00:27:51and felt persistently lucky to have her in my life.
00:27:58You strangled your children to death.
00:28:04Ah.
00:28:10He remembered her as a loving wife, mother, and nurse, saying,
00:28:13She loved being a nurse, but nothing matched her intense love for our kids
00:28:16and dedication to being a mother. It was all she ever wanted. Her passion taught me
00:28:20how to be a better father.
00:28:23I want to ask all of you that you find it deep within yourselves to forgive Lindsay,
00:28:27as I have, he said, adding that the real Lindsay was generously loving and caring towards everyone,
00:28:33me, our kids, family, friends, and her patients. The very fibers of her soul are loving.
00:28:39All I wish for her now is that she can somehow find peace.
00:28:45So, I mean, the soul and forgiveness and so on, very shortly after the incident.
00:29:01You know, I think like all of us, I sort of, I question myself, and am I too judgmental? Am
00:29:07I too
00:29:09imperious? Am I too heavy-handed? And so on.
00:29:16It's incomprehensible to me. It's like the Eric Kirk stuff where she forgives
00:29:21the alleged killer within days of her husband being slaughtered in 4K,
00:29:31thus taking all of the energy out of the legitimate outrage that should have accompanied that murder.
00:29:37her. I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so.
00:29:50I mean, she's not taking responsibility because she's saying it's, uh, the postpartum. It's,
00:29:56it's, uh, hormones. What? I don't know, right?
00:30:01Like, like, one in seven women go through postpartum, and yet the murder stuff.
00:30:07And if she can fake being normal, my mom was, as she got older, and certainly around the time
00:30:14that she lost her mind, she began to lose the ability to fake being normal, really.
00:30:18So if you can fake being normal, then you know what normal looks like.
00:30:22And if you are having dangerous thoughts towards your children, then,
00:30:31you, you, you stop caring for them, right? You take yourself out of being an authority over them.
00:30:36Maybe she had planned all of this, the murder of self-deletion or whatever. Maybe she planned all
00:30:43of this, and this is why she said, oh, I really want you to go and get some food and
00:30:45pick this up
00:30:46up so she would have the time, right? Because I assume that when the husband left, she just went
00:30:50about her dark business.
00:31:15So there's some details about the trial, and that to me is less, uh, less important.
00:31:24And I did look up some of this other stuff that is really important, and this goes back
00:31:37to my sort of criticisms of the psychiatric, medical-based industry where they claim you
00:31:44have a chemical imbalance, but it's never been proven. It's never been proven.
00:31:48They can't. They can't find it. They can't find it. So, I'm sorry. I hope the emotions don't bother
00:31:57you. They don't bother me. But I hope that, um, I hope that this, um, doesn't bother you,
00:32:07but it's sort of deep stuff for me.
00:32:13So, you know, she had three children under the age of six. I think she was still working
00:32:17as a nurse. That's, so who was taking care of her children? We don't know, and I don't
00:32:23know if it's going to come out in the trial or anything like that, but to have a full-time
00:32:27job, to have three children under the age of, oh, three children, six and under, and
00:32:32so on, is a catastrophic amount of overwork. A catastrophic amount of overwork. And that
00:32:44is really tough.
00:32:51So, this is from Eva Basilian on X. She's, apparently, this woman is paralyzed from the
00:32:59waist down. Not Eva, but the woman, the mother. She wrote her psychosis the mother's took off
00:33:06after the birth of her third child, right before she was scheduled to return to work as a labor
00:33:10and delivery nurse. She was being treated for medication, daily appointments with her doctors
00:33:15and a stint at the psychiatric hospital. She's the one who begged for help. She committed
00:33:22this crime on the day her husband left the house for half an hour to go get groceries because
00:33:26she seemed to be doing better.
00:33:28Mmm. Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
00:33:33The fact that this woman is on trial when she was clearly out of her mind is unconscionable.
00:33:37No, you don't, uh, you don't leave a woman who's losing her mind and hearing voices and has
00:33:44suicidal ideation and is, and I've sort of read between 12 and 15 different, quote, medications,
00:33:51you don't leave her alone with a kid. I mean, in most cultures, women are generally not left
00:33:57alone with newborns. Almost all babies are killed by their mothers. This is not to put any stain
00:34:05on women as a whole, but that's just a statistical fact. And, you know, my, again, just to be clear,
00:34:15obviously, amateur and non-professional take on postpartum depression is if you had a cold,
00:34:27distant, uninvolved, alien life form kind of mother, then
00:34:34you experience significant sorrow and loss and pain, emotional agony as a baby because you're
00:34:41reaching out, right? And a baby's very anxious when they're not comforted. They're eye contact,
00:34:45skin contact, people smiling at them, delight in their existence and in their presence is essential
00:34:51for babies to feel secure and safe and loved. And if, as a baby, you didn't receive that,
00:35:00then
00:35:03I think you are not aware of that loss because you're a baby, right? So it's essential to your
00:35:09personality, but it doesn't stay in your memories, right? I mean, I don't remember anything before the
00:35:13age of like 10 or 11 months of age, but it's in there, it's hardwired, it's in your soul or
00:35:21your
00:35:21spinal cord or your, the base brain, the lizard brain, whatever you want to call it, it's in your
00:35:24essence, that neglect, that distance, right? It's another problem with the poor babies under COVID,
00:35:31right? I've only seen people in masks and so on. It's absolutely awful. So my general theory
00:35:39is that if you had, and some of this might not be the mother's fault, it could be wartime or
00:35:44whatever
00:35:45it is, right? I mean, my grandmother was detonated into atoms in World War II and therefore was
00:35:52obviously unable to give my mother care and comfort at points in her childhood, well, every point
00:35:57they're on. And I mean, that was a war, right? So I'm not putting, but, but if you had that
00:36:02experience
00:36:06as a baby or that lack of experience of care, nurturing, calm, love, delight,
00:36:14then it stays deep in your heart of hearts. And then when you have a baby, I think it comes
00:36:20back.
00:36:24Because if you have a baby and you look at that baby and you say, I don't know how to
00:36:30love this
00:36:31baby because you weren't loved as a baby yourself. I don't know deep down how to love
00:36:39this baby. I think it brings back the depression of not being loved yourself as a baby. Like most of
00:36:48us don't remember like how we learned language, right? I mean, when we remember, we remember learning
00:36:54certain words when we got older and so on, but we don't really remember the process of learning
00:37:00language, but we speak language and we don't really remember the process of being loved or neglected
00:37:04as a baby. And we can avoid that in a way, it probably shows up in other ways, but we
00:37:09can avoid
00:37:09that in a way. Like I can avoid the problem of not speaking Japanese as long as I'm not in
00:37:17Japan
00:37:17and have to speak Japanese. It doesn't really show up, right? And so you have this loss as a baby
00:37:26that
00:37:26you weren't loved. Then the baby comes into your life and you look at that baby and you're like,
00:37:30I do not have the instinctual knowledge of how to love this baby because I myself was not loved as
00:37:36a
00:37:36baby, right? You love a baby, you're putting deposits into that baby of affection towards
00:37:46that baby you're depositing. And then when that baby grows up and has her own baby,
00:37:50or could be for the case for the man as well, then the new babies take the withdrawal from what
00:37:57you
00:37:57deposited from the mother or the father when they were babies. I mean, just by the by, my brother and
00:38:03I could not be more polar opposites in just about every way. We never really got along, had a lot
00:38:09of
00:38:09conflicts. I think one of the differences is he was born in Africa and had a, at least from what
00:38:14looks like from the photos, a very cold hearted black nanny. And I was born in Ireland and was,
00:38:21I had a deeply devoted aunt who cared for me while my mother was in hospital with postpartum
00:38:26depression. My mother went into hospital for months after I was born. And I had such a close
00:38:32bond with my aunt that she later named one of her kids after me and we just loved each other.
00:38:37And
00:38:39I think that was one of the big differences. It gets kind of hardwired. And then it's not like
00:38:43it's part of your personality, like is your personality. And I think that's one of the
00:38:47reasons why I was able to love the world despite all of that. And of course, my mother would have
00:38:54gone into postpartum depression, I assume, because, you know, she was born right before the Second World
00:39:00War and it was horrendous. And then, you know, the Russian communist grape horde strolled across
00:39:10Germany doing just about everything they wanted to everyone from seven to 70.
00:39:13Every female in general, maybe males too, I'm sure. So if it goes, if it's like hardwired deep into the
00:39:24soul that you don't know how to love a baby because you weren't yourself loved as a baby.
00:39:29I was loved as a baby, which is why I'm different from literally everyone else in my family, except for
00:39:36one or two aunts. Because my parents weren't left as babies. My brother wasn't left as a baby.
00:39:47I was left as a baby. It just puts you on a different course and gives you a kind of
00:39:54instinctual benevolence about the world. I think the world is a beautiful place.
00:39:58And I'm immensely happy to be doing what I'm doing. And I could not treasure this conversation
00:40:04more if I was Superman. So, and I have, I have a great capacity for love and I have a
00:40:15great
00:40:15love towards my wife. I have great love towards friends. I have great love towards my daughter.
00:40:19However, I think I had a lot of deposits, which is not the fault of people who didn't. It's
00:40:24obviously not your fault if you're not loved as a baby, but you know, if your parents are depressed
00:40:29or your, your parents go back to work, right? Your mother goes back to work and she's just
00:40:35not available to love you. And she said, oh, well, you put into a daycare, they're just not
00:40:39going to love you like, like your mother would. Some daycare worker. I mean, I worked in a daycare.
00:40:46I mean, we tried to be nice, but we're just not their parents, right? So, so this next info
00:40:57comes primarily from Lindsay Clancy's January 2026 civil medical malpractice lawsuit against
00:41:03her healthcare providers, cross-reference with court records, evidence presented at a murder
00:41:07trial and related reporting. This is from X. Two months before she killed her children
00:41:18with exercise bans, Lindsay Clancy told her prescriber that she was unable to determine
00:41:25what was real. Disoriented, forgetful, confused, disconnected. They kept writing prescriptions.
00:41:37Here's what she reported and what they gave her in order.
00:41:42Mid-October 2022, a psychiatrist starts her on 25 milligrams of Zoloft.
00:41:50Within days, it's doubled to 50.
00:41:55She reports that she hasn't slept in 48 hours, racing thoughts, worsening anxiety.
00:42:0120th October 2022, she reports heart palpitations and says her mental health is getting worse.
00:42:09They take her off the Zoloft and prescribe Ativan and Benadryl.
00:42:14Well, Benadryl is in my, obviously, amateur view, exceedingly demonic juice.
00:42:2016th November, she goes into the ER with insomnia, anxiety, and heart palpitations.
00:42:26She's sent home with Trazodone.
00:42:3220th November, her mother-in-law rings a perinatal behavioral health program.
00:42:36Lindsay tells them she's very frustrated, scared, with extreme insomnia and racing thoughts.
00:42:45They prescribe Prozac.
00:42:49And when my mother came out of the asylum, man,
00:42:53there was just a smoking crater where her mind used to be.
00:43:0224th November, she reports that Prozac is making her insomnia worse.
00:43:06So, they add Ambien, Remeron, and Klonopin.
00:43:12Three more on top.
00:43:17The very next day, she tells the practitioner she's unable to determine what's real.
00:43:22Disoriented, forgetful, confused, disconnected.
00:43:25Nobody stops.
00:43:2928th November, she's getting three hours of sleep disoriented and scared.
00:43:33They prescribed Seroquel.
00:43:35Her husband testified last week that this is where, quote, her big spiral started.
00:43:432nd December, she reports she's suicidal and hearing things.
00:43:48Three days later, she rings a crisis hotline asking to be admitted.
00:43:51She's told she doesn't meet the criteria.
00:43:57I mean, this is like the murder before the murders, right?
00:44:026th December, she and Patrick go back to the practitioner together.
00:44:05He tells them she's far worse since starting the Seroquel.
00:44:09Well, they increase the dose.
00:44:1428th December, back to the ER, suicidal.
00:44:18The next day, she admits herself into a program and is removed because the doctor says she's
00:44:25just over-medicated and doesn't have a mental health issue.
00:44:30She admits herself to a different hospital.
00:44:32She's discharged with Trazodone.
00:44:3810th January, a psychiatrist prescribes Valium, then amitriptyline.
00:44:4924th January, she reported hearing a male voice say,
00:44:52this is your last chance.
00:44:54Kill the children so you can, yourself.
00:44:58Her kids were five, three, and eight months.
00:45:03Okay.
00:45:08So that's 11 psychiatric drugs in four months.
00:45:16She reported it was getting worse every single stage, every single time the answer was more
00:45:20drugs, more drugs, more drugs.
00:45:23How many of these drugs have been tested relative to placebo, relative to combinations, long-term
00:45:29effects?
00:45:32All these drugs in combinations at these doses, have they been tested against placebo?
00:45:35Of course not.
00:45:41According to this ex-post, not one person in that chain asked whether the treatment had
00:45:44become the illness.
00:45:45Well, it's not quite true because one of the doctors says she's over-medicated.
00:45:52This is from the ex-post.
00:45:53Of course, this was not a mysterious psychiatric event appearing out of nowhere.
00:45:55It was a progressive collapse of brain function under postpartum stress, extreme insomnia,
00:46:00autonomic overdrive, and relentless pharmacological interference.
00:46:09The warning signs were explicit, racing thoughts, palpitations, worsening anxiety, disorientation, derealization,
00:46:17suicidality, and hallucinations.
00:46:18Yet every sign of deterioration was interpreted as a reason to add, switch, or increase another
00:46:24drug.
00:46:31You know, when I met my wife, and she said she worked in mental health, I was like, please
00:46:46don't be a psychiatrist.
00:46:47Please don't be a psychiatrist.
00:46:50And she said, no, no, no, I practice psychology.
00:46:51I've been doing it for many years.
00:46:53I was like, oh.
00:46:54I said, oh, what do you think of cognitive behavioral therapy, which is reasoning with
00:47:00people?
00:47:01And she's like, it's great.
00:47:03And I'm like, you are not a pusher.
00:47:08Goddamn, the pusher man.
00:47:11This ex-post, I'm not saying I agree with all of this, but it's a good perspective.
00:47:15Psychiatry cannot keep pretending that SSRIs, benzodiazepines, antipsychotics, sedating antidepressants,
00:47:21and hypnotics are inner tools with no capacity to induce activation, akathisia, paradoxical
00:47:29reactions, delirium, withdrawal states, or psychosis.
00:47:32These outcomes are documented.
00:47:40So akathisia is a skin-crawling thing, no capacity to relax or concentrate, like ants
00:47:46crawling through your skin.
00:47:47I think Jordan Peterson went through that after his benzos.
00:47:51Paradoxical reactions, which is you treat someone for anxiety, their anxiety gets worse.
00:47:56Delirium, withdrawal states, derealization, which is where you just don't, you don't feel
00:48:00real.
00:48:00You don't, you feel like you're living in a movie.
00:48:02You don't feel like anything's real, the people aren't real, and so on.
00:48:07These outcomes are documented, since the ex-post, and this is not the first time in which severe
00:48:12behavioral disintegration followed escalating psychiatric polypharmacy, which is just piling
00:48:18drugs upon drugs upon drugs.
00:48:22The most disturbing fact is not that one clinician made one mistake, but that an entire system
00:48:27repeatedly watched her lose contact with reality and still treated the worsening condition as
00:48:32proof that she needed more chemical suppression.
00:48:35At some point, the treatment became part of the disease.
00:48:38The establishment does not want that sentence said out loud, which is exactly why it needs
00:48:43to be said louder.
00:48:48We are just our brains.
00:48:51And when they mess with your brain, they are messing with yourself.
00:48:54This is true for propaganda, these kinds of intense drugs of doubtful scientific benefit.
00:49:03I mean, the biggest and best treatment for depression is dancing.
00:49:07Statistically, look that up.
00:49:08It's true.
00:49:12But who profits from you shaking your tail feather to Pete Townsend's face-to-face, right?
00:49:20Who profits from that?
00:49:26My wife, this guy, the husband, right?
00:49:29And look, it's easy for me to say, and I say this with sympathy to them.
00:49:33They are in the world of the media.
00:49:37They're in the world of general NPC cause and effect.
00:49:43Oh, it's a chemical imbalance.
00:49:44We'll fix it with this.
00:49:45It's like insulin for diabetes.
00:49:47You know, you wouldn't be ashamed of that and so on.
00:49:51But if it is a malaise of the soul that arises from a lack of love, carpet bombing the brain
00:50:02with random stimulants and suppressants, putting you on the Elvis pills to go to sleep, pills
00:50:08to wake you up kind of diet, it's not going to solve that.
00:50:13And of course, the great temptation, if you are facing a spiritual crisis, a crisis of meaning,
00:50:21a crisis of virtue, a crisis of morality and corruption.
00:50:29I know this personally, and I'm not trying to say I have a template for everyone.
00:50:32I'm just telling you my experience, that I was embedded in corrupt relationships.
00:50:43And I ceased being able to sleep.
00:50:48And this went on for 16 months.
00:50:54I refused to go to a psychiatrist, incomprehensible to me.
00:51:00And I refused to get sleeping pills.
00:51:04And I exercised a lot.
00:51:08I began to, and it felt like pulling limbs off, I began to pull away the corrupt relationships,
00:51:20to pull away from them too.
00:51:21And it felt like I was wandering into the desert from the only human settlement to die among
00:51:26the dunes and the bones.
00:51:27There was no oasis out there, nothing better.
00:51:30It's horrendous.
00:51:32And I went to therapy.
00:51:35I tried one therapist, didn't work, tried another therapist.
00:51:39It took.
00:51:41And I did, yeah, I did almost two years in talk therapy, three hours a week, plus another.
00:51:48Most therapy work takes place outside the office.
00:51:50I did three hours a week, an hour and a half, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
00:51:54And I did six to eight hours of journaling.
00:52:05Nomads.
00:52:08Nomads.
00:52:09Raw dogging.
00:52:11A confrontation with my own capacity to place proximity above virtue.
00:52:21To say, well, I'm getting well paid in the business world, and I have these historical
00:52:27relationships, and I have places to go at Christmas, and I was in a relationship, I was
00:52:32engaged to a woman, and I ended up breaking off that engagement and moving out, which was
00:52:37a significant investment and huge change.
00:52:41And it felt like I was going to some internal bone doctor that said, hey, you know the solution
00:52:49to what you're doing?
00:52:50Just peel your skin off.
00:52:52Yeah, just peel your skin off, and you'll be much better.
00:52:55And it's a horrendous process to go through.
00:53:00I mean, massively, unbelievably, immensely, deeply beneficial.
00:53:12But if you're going through, and I don't know if this woman was going through a moral
00:53:15crisis, obviously, I don't know.
00:53:17The facts may come out.
00:53:18They may not come out.
00:53:18I don't know.
00:53:19I doubt they will.
00:53:26But the first place that I really tried to look into, which was a brutal process, when
00:53:34I was sleepless and unhappy, I wouldn't say in the first place.
00:53:42Let me not praise myself unjustly in that way.
00:53:46I looked for a bunch of things.
00:53:47But where I landed was that the reason I couldn't sleep was that I was morally sleepwalking through
00:53:57life, I had virtues and values from the age of 15 to 30, so all of my adult life, I
00:54:13had
00:54:13virtues and values that would not be manifested in my relationships.
00:54:22And to place virtue above history, momentum, the easy relationship, socialism of who you're
00:54:31born with and who you grew up with, right, who you go to school with and who you're born
00:54:34with, your family and so on.
00:54:36That's kind of like socialism.
00:54:37It's a subsidy.
00:54:37It's not bad.
00:54:38If they're good people, it's fantastic.
00:54:39But if they're not particularly good people, then it is an unjust subsidy.
00:54:45And what happens is when you have not good people around you, the good people avoid you,
00:54:53right?
00:54:54I mean, if you see someone coughing blood, I mean, surrounded by medics, you won't walk
00:55:04through that or you'll walk around, right?
00:55:06Dangerous fate.
00:55:08You don't want to get infected.
00:55:10So I had this sort of moat of semi-lucid corruption around me that was keeping all the good people
00:55:17away.
00:55:18And my unconscious was done with it.
00:55:26Just done.
00:55:28No more.
00:55:29We don't need it.
00:55:30We can survive without it.
00:55:32And it began the process of like trying to pull a frozen mastodon out of a prehistoric
00:55:39frozen tar pit.
00:55:40It's just chip, chip, chip, pull puts.
00:55:41It feels like an impossible task.
00:55:43And then you're free.
00:55:45And then life gets so much better.
00:55:49Not easy.
00:55:50Not easy.
00:55:51But that kind of moral crisis, a spiritual crisis, a crisis of virtue, it's very tempting for
00:56:00some people.
00:56:01And look, I'm not, oh, I was so brave.
00:56:04I'm just telling you, like, I wouldn't, I wouldn't do it.
00:56:06I just wouldn't do it.
00:56:09And for a lot of people, though, if, if somebody says, you don't need to look at the empathy,
00:56:19compassion, virtue, integrity, and honesty, and morals of those around you.
00:56:29Just take a pill.
00:56:34Just take a pill.
00:56:36And you'll be fine.
00:56:40And if you're diabetic and you need insulin, nobody would say, ah, but you need to spend
00:56:44a year or two going through a moral trough and crisis, hit bottom, and then rebuild yourself
00:56:48up, and then your diabetes will be better, right?
00:56:50Anyway, so the normie, it's like the offer has to be matched by the desire, right?
00:56:58The drug dealer, to use an analogy in a different context, the drug dealer can only offer you
00:57:03drugs.
00:57:04He can't force you to take them.
00:57:05There has to be a demand as well.
00:57:10And if it turns out that this is a very Christian family, then the idea that there could be coldness
00:57:17and distance from babies that may have contributed or even caused or triggered postpartum depression,
00:57:25which then leads to not saying, gee, I wonder why I get depressed every time I have a baby.
00:57:32And here's the thing, too.
00:57:35Again, I can't say anything about this family.
00:57:36What do I know?
00:57:42But if you were neglected or harmed, a lot of people torment and torture babies.
00:57:46If you were neglected or harmed as a baby alone in the house with your mother, or it could be
00:57:52a daycare worker,
00:57:52or it could be a babysitter, or it could be an aunt, it could be a grandmother, anything.
00:57:55If you were harmed as a baby, the only witness that remains alive is the deficiency of your instincts.
00:58:04And that's not proof, right?
00:58:07That's not proof.
00:58:12If you're neglected as a baby, the only witness is someone who will never confess.
00:58:22I mean, if your mother is cold or your father is cold or both, are they going to say, oh,
00:58:28yeah, no, I was very cold to you as a baby.
00:58:30I mean, some parents will say that later on, you know, like the parents who were like, I would have
00:58:34been so much better off without you.
00:58:35I don't like you.
00:58:36I wish you'd never been here.
00:58:37I wish you'd never been born.
00:58:39All of that stuff indicates, of course, profound hostility.
00:58:43And wounded people, of course, but also selfish people.
00:58:45Selfish people, when you have a baby, you have to put your needs, your ego, your preferences aside and devote
00:58:50yourself to the baby.
00:58:51I say this as a stay-at-home dad of almost 18 years.
00:58:54You have to say everything about yourself and your particular preferences, and you have to devote yourself to the well
00:58:59-being of your children.
00:59:00That's really tough.
00:59:02For narcissistic people, it's pretty much impossible, I think, at that point.
00:59:06Selfish people and so on, they resent the baby.
00:59:09Like, you know, it's Friday night, and you've got a great party to go to where you want to meet
00:59:14this girl, and then your boss gives you, like, a massive amount of work and says you've got to work
00:59:18late.
00:59:18You just feel this annoyance, like, I've got to want to get to this party.
00:59:20Now, my mother had this, too.
00:59:23My mother was, my mother had this belief that she would, like, be some movie star or something.
00:59:28She was very pretty, right?
00:59:29It's a red carpet, and she'd have this life of elegance and luxury.
00:59:32But if it wasn't for these gosh-down kids, you know, like Scooby-Doo style, these gosh-down kids that
00:59:37get in the way is why she would say that she hated us from time to time.
00:59:41Because we were in the way of her getting, you know, Cary Grant or an Oscar or whatever it was
00:59:45that she had imagined her life would be life without children.
00:59:49And so, of course, if you have these fantasies that you can have this amazing, wonderful, perfect life if it
00:59:55wasn't for this baby or these kids, then it's very tough.
00:59:58It's very tough for you to take pleasure in the ego abandonment and service of another, which is a baby.
01:00:06I mean, even from a practical standpoint, everything you withhold from your babies when they're young, you pay for 10
01:00:12times over when they become teenagers.
01:00:13And when you become old and they dump you in a home or something or don't come to visit.
01:00:18You know, parenting is, as I've said a million times, is very much devoted to the teenage years.
01:00:24And everything you deposit and every deferral of gratification you achieve to make your babies happier and healthier and full
01:00:35of joy and feeling truly loved and treasured,
01:00:38all of that comes back to you tenfold as teenagers and then watching them move into adulthood with grace and
01:00:45dignity and virtue and purpose.
01:00:47Wonderful.
01:00:49Everything you withhold from your babies, they will mostly, usually, and somewhat instinctually make you pay for when they hit
01:01:01their teenage years.
01:01:02Because they don't have loyalty to you because you didn't have love for them and therefore they get loyalty to
01:01:07TikTok, their peers, the media, and you lose them to the sociopaths who use pixels to promote propaganda.
01:01:23I don't know, obviously, what's going on in the family.
01:01:28There are vague hints that I wanted to use as a way to talk about this more.
01:01:34Of course you don't leave a woman who's going through hearing voices, derealization, psychotic episodes.
01:01:40Of course you don't leave her alone with children.
01:01:44I don't know.
01:01:48Why that would happen.
01:01:49Is he morally responsible?
01:01:52It's tough.
01:01:54It's tough.
01:01:56It's tough.
01:01:58Of course, society as a whole doesn't talk about the dangers that some women pose to their own babies.
01:02:04Again, child murderer, very much.
01:02:07Female, baby murderer, almost exclusively female.
01:02:10Obviously it's rare.
01:02:11I understand that.
01:02:12It's rare.
01:02:16But, you know,
01:02:19grape is rare,
01:02:20but apparently we live in a grape culture.
01:02:22So,
01:02:25we're not alert and aware to the dangers of women,
01:02:30because women are wonderful,
01:02:31women are amazing,
01:02:32women blah, blah, blah, right?
01:02:34So, there's a lot of failures that lead up to something like this.
01:02:37Was it a failure of her mother to love her, thus lending her prone to depression and anxiety when she
01:02:49realizes because she was not loved as a baby,
01:02:51she doesn't know how to love her own babies and doesn't want to face it, she wasn't loved as a
01:02:54baby because she has a sentimental relationship with her own mother who praises her constantly in order to distract her
01:02:59from criticizing her mother's coldness?
01:03:01I don't, obviously I don't know.
01:03:03And we'll probably never know.
01:03:03These are just theories, of course.
01:03:07I think they match the facts, but that doesn't mean that's proof.
01:03:13Dark matter matches the facts of the universe.
01:03:15That doesn't mean that dark matter is proven.
01:03:17It's just a fudge factor.
01:03:23So,
01:03:28love your babies.
01:03:29If you weren't loved as a baby, if you have a cold parent, you need to deal with that before
01:03:33you have babies.
01:03:36A lot of what we see as mental health or psychological crises are moral issues.
01:03:45Surrounded by people who lie, who fake, who pretend, who are corrupt, who exploit, who are not reciprocal, who bully,
01:03:52who threaten, who withdraw, who manipulate.
01:03:54There's a lot of squid-based life forms out there picking your spiritual pockets with every tentacle at their disposal
01:04:02and some that they can borrow.
01:04:04If you are surrounded by good people, it is very hard for you to come to any kind of harm.
01:04:09If you're surrounded by not-so-good people, it's almost impossible for you to do any good.
01:04:15Reason equals virtue, equals happiness.
01:04:18There's no way to break that chain.
