I found this guy's summary of Ponerology pretty entertaining: _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qu8jy__Mnok

He goes through the book, summarizing, reading excerpts, and providing some commentary. The best parts are when he vocalizes Lobaczewski's inner thoughts and feelings. :lol:

We have got to get an easier-to-understand Ponerology out there!!

Wasn't Martha's friend working on that?

Yeah, you are wright, this is what Laura wrote about it:

Laura said:
A little background:

On December 20th, 2009, Martha Rose Crow, who some of you may be familiar with due to a few articles by her that have been published on sott.net and here in the forum, wrote to me proposing that she and a friend of hers, Judith Vary Baker (who was seeing Lee Harvey Oswald when the JFK assassination occurred), wanted to write: "Ponerology for Dummies." The idea was to take the book and just simply re-write it in plain, everyday English.

I was familiar enough with Martha's writing and Judith's skill with language to think that the two of them would make a good team for this project. I suggested a first chapter before I gave the go ahead and they agreed.

Chapter One arrived in my mailbox on January 10th. It really was good and I was excited by what the ladies were doing with the text. It was, in essence, unchanged, but vastly improved in readability.

From that day, until yesterday, both of them have been devoted to this project and chapter 12 was almost finished (they had divided one chapter into three so there were to be more chapters than the original had).

Fwiw

I thought it was interesting how he was dismissive at the outset, but quickly realized that he had a hot potato in his hands.

With so much junk available from the small press world, his initial reaction was quite understandable.
 
Re: Ricky Gervais meets Ponerology

Did anyone notice the Sott interview with Laura & Joe on that same YouTube page? Mentions the Dot Connector Mag also.

Sorry if this has been shown elsewhere, It was just great to see it coming up on the YouTube Ponerology page.

I found it difficult to understand that guy's video, his words were rushed and unclear, so I gave up after 3 minutes.
 
Re: Ricky Gervais meets Ponerology

I watched the whole thing, and was very impressed by his apparent grasp of the material...and he at least admitted that he was going to have to read it again to be able to summarize the second half of the book. I also recommended the video to a couple of my FB friends, who have been curious about psychopathy and ponerology, but who I haven't had a chance to discuss at depth with about those subjects. It's not something I can do readily in a FB chat.
 
Re: Ricky Gervais meets Ponerology

I was jumping out of my seat with excitement to see Ricky Gervais talk about Ponerology. And this is certainly not Ricky Gervais. See here for a comparison:

Nonetheless, great to see this is spreading. And from someone who is not already a SOTT reader or forum member (that we know of).

Sorry for the misleading title. This guy's delivery just reminded me of Gervais.

Not much to report at this point, just that it's in the works!
