    You know at first when I heard the news about Michael, I thought YT should pull the channel down. However upon some thought I think it should stay up. This way psychology students, profilers, law enforcement, and SA counselors can go through the catalog of videos and his responses to comments to learn how these predators operate. For instance I watched his "25 Questions Tag" video from a year ago, and I got a tell you all there is some major tells in that video. Some of the imagery he uses and his replies to comments is creepy now knowing what he's done. Oh, and saying that he relates to the character Dexter. Food for thought.

      Dexter was written to be relatable, I could relate to many things he said even while his evil compulsions were repellent. There might be psychological insight there, but I wouldn't see it as a red flag for just anybody saying that. I just watched that video and I mainly thought he seems smart and caring, however that Ender's Game art was a rather odd choice to show off - though I can't say if it's appropriate to the book.
      ...I feel bad for his kids processing this...
      I don't think there's a good reason to take the channel down, any more then to destroy all of Marrion Zimmer Bradley's books (granted that's much harder), it can still be of value, as you say to criminologists, or even still to SF fans. I suppose that'll be his husband's call (I'd rather UA-cam leave it alone if he didn't break any rules).

      I think Everts has a mental illness. While, I understand the repellent moral aspect of what he's done, I think he should be in treatment while he serves his time. As for the comments about statements he made in his videos that seem prescient or "tells" about his illness, I think you could say that about many legit UA-cam sites. Obviously, no one is going to bring up statements he made that don't confirm his mental illness. It is a form of confirmation bias.

    A D.C. gym owner was arrested Tuesday and accused of distributing child sex abuse materials while referring to himself as a “pedophile” to an undercover FBI employee, according to an arrest warrant.
    Michael Everts, 48, is the owner of FIT Personal Training in Dupont Circle. In 2014, he was profiled by the Washington Blade, and his gym was described as “the oldest personal training gym in Dupont,” founded in 2004.
    Documents filed in connection with Everts’ arrest indicate the FBI agents who took him into custody on child pornography charges have been putting together a case for months.
    According to the arrest warrant, the FBI was alerted to him last July, when an employee of a location-based hookup app, Sniffies, told them Everts actively sought underage males.

    Now that you are asking it, I don't think that reasoning and consciousness or self-awareness are necessary for each other.
    As I never fail to point out when Lem is discussed, our inability to communicate was his lifelong obsession. It was the main topic of _Solaris,_ _Fiasco,_ _The Invincible_ and, in a more direct way, _His Master's Voice._
    May I also add that both Tarkovsky's and Soderbergh's versions of the movie are worth watching (I didn't watch any of other versions.) Their reading of the novel is pretty different, but equally "valid" and interesting.
