    @ScanlanTalks you are a liar with what you have done here. please live in reality and rename this video to reflect what it actually is: YOU (not TL) giving a lecture, and a shitty one at that, about the wrongs of lying; TL isnt even mentioned in the lecture. You should be embarrassed to be a liar.

      Thank you! Thomas Ligotti writes great fiction. The music I played at the top of the video was not great music. That was a pre-set loop from my Mellotron called "Today is the Day, MK-2". I played that loop because I can't afford the rights to "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" by Shaboozey. And why would I play you that specific slice of complaint pop-country if I could afford it? Because that was the #1 song on November 15, 2024; and that was the day I recorded this video.

    Why are you teaching Bruno Bettelheim? He was a liar, an imposter, and he NEVER worked with Freud. He lied about his degrees (His degree was in visual art!) He is RESPONSIBLE for the deaths of hundreds of autistic children who were removed from their loving homes because of his cruel, academically baseless, made-up "refrigerator mother" theory. He experimented on the most vulnerable human beings in our midsts. The hundreds of non speaking profoundly autistic patients who he housed on a prison camp of a farm and allowed to STARVE to death. When the truth emerged about his false background he took his own life. The only lessons that can be learned from Bettelheim is that Narcissistic evil exists and society has to properly vett people who we allow to create policy for the voiceless.

      This is a guest lecture, by ScanlanLectures, on the comment by Thomas Ligotti. (The intended audience information is in the channel's About section.) In short, we discuss quotes as part of an ongoing assignment in high school classes. I delivered this talk on Ligotti's comment to a class I was visiting.

      ​​​​@@ScanlanTalkskind of makes you liar because unless this guy didn't ask the question in the comment section I wouldn't know it, other than the fact I kind of knew what Ligotti's voice sounded like.. You kind of wasted my time because I wouldn't have bothered listening to this high School lecture by you. And to give you the benefit of a doubt. Perhaps you were unconscious of how your thumbnail and title was a bit deceiving and difficult to figure out who the "guest" speaker was and it was vague at best in the description... You do know that Ligotti has a loyal following of adult readers who are interested in everything he does .. so it's a little click batie..

    A wise man told me, "pay attention to what you're paying attention to". I believe sometimes it's just some things guys say to show off(like most guys love to do), but; something, someone, and somehow another puzzle peace came into view that maybe subconsciously makes them happier than college could have. I still think you should still go for "it" and if it doesn't turn out well you can always sue Dr. Scanlan.

      Not at all. This lecture was in California, where masks were required by the state and school district. (No mask, no class as an expression of state power.) But that is part of the point-- in other talks, I addressed masks as being as useful as Diogenes' rolling a vase up a hill...
