General Discussion

I haven't interviewed any one in years. I still feel a bit self-conscious since the old brain injury two years ago. So I am pleased that the questions I asked were okay, and got great answers from Dr. Lee.

Her insights about his lack of self-awareness might explain the bizarre "Joker-like" makeup. But still -- what the heck is that all about? Doesn't he know people laugh at him for that?

Sociopaths tend to favor amphetamines as their drug of choice. Although Adderall wasn't prescribed to the population I worked with before retiring, if I remember correctly it is a combination of salts that are amphetamines, that was prescribed to children diagnosed with ADD. It helps them think clearer, with a longer focus. But, if my memory serves me correctly, a number of the parents of kids getting the Rx began sampling it. It is "speed" for adults, and so it appeals in particular to sociopaths, as they require constant stimulation. Thus, I suspect that it could only have the long-term results on personality that log-term abuse of any type of "speed" would have -- and these are never attractive. It would, if Trump is abusing it, fit with his spinning out of control.
