Charles Manson, dead at age 83
November 20, 2017 at 3:19 pm
Quote:Charles Manson, the cult leader of the Manson family who masterminded the Tate-LaBianca killings of 1969 and one of the most reviled and fascinating figures in American pop culture, died Sunday night, CBS Los Angeles reports. He was 83. Manson had been rushed to a Bakersfield, California hospital from Corcoran State Prison earlier this month for an undisclosed medical issue.
Manson died of natural causes at Kern County hospital, according to a California Department of Corrections statement.

I don't even know what to add to this except it's something else to talk about beside sex scandals, religion, and Trump.
Did he have a mental illness?

Looking at the Guinn biography, it seems it started off as a defense mechanism to keep the older boys from raping him in reform school. But given that he took a song about a playground slide and turned it into a race war scenario, and took quite a bit of acid, by the time he actually went to jail, it’s very likely that, in the words of tvtropes, he became the mask.
Eventually, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, which is hard to ignore.

This guy has something in common with Trump: Both demonstrate that stupidity is dangerous. Both are con-men who prey on stupid people and manipulate them to do their bidding. Cure stupidity and both are harmless fools.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

What a difference 50 years makes. What put one man in prison got another man the presidency.

Psychopathy and narcissistic peraonality disorder would be my guess. But nothing severe enough that he couldn't understand that what he was doing was wrong and be deemed innocent.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Apparently, he was formally diagnosed with Schizophrenia, Paranoid Delusional Disorder, Antisocial Personality Disorder, and likely others.

I'm sure I experienced a glitch in reality like this already happened. Was he on his deathbed before this? I was sure he already died once.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

Do they really understand that what they were doing was wrong? If a person has no conscience, what will make them intuit that this and that is wrong?

Even just the first one is a serious mental illness. Does that make him less culpable? An interesting idea to explore.
