KMO talks with Josh Slocum about what it means to live in a Cluster B world. On his show, the Disaffected Podcast, Josh cites example after example of how the political left has succumbed to the rule of narcissists, both grandiose and covert, who have imposed an irrational order upon their faction in which the loudest and most histrionic actors rule through intimidation, accusation and the sheer force of their emotional intensity. In a conversation like this, there is no avoiding a discussion of the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard defamation trial.
