Yes, we will talk about the style and the success, but we are also talking about the pressure, the expectations, and the real work with the women shaping culture right now.

So we're back.

As should be obvious from that last quote, his parents are aware that something is wrong.

Like his dad sees him like overcome with rage to the point of trying to like physically accost a couple for kissing.

But they don't.

They also like they're not good parents.

They don't spend a lot of time with their kids.

They're certainly not spending a lot of time communicating honestly with Elliot.

And in fact, when his dad sees this and is like, oh, my son might be on the verge of doing something crazy and violent.

His solution is to give Elliot Rodger a copy of The Secret.

Incredible stuff.

Now, the core of the secret is what's called the law of attraction.

This is the pseudoscientific belief that by thinking and stating your intentions, you can literally make things happen because your thoughts magically shape the nature of reality.

Eliot is initially drawn to this idea and immediately declares, I'm going to become a millionaire, quote,

so I could live a luxurious life and finally be able to attract the beautiful girls I covet so much.

I wished to make up for the years of youth that I wasted in bleak loneliness.

And by doing so, I would get revenge on everyone who thought they were better than me, just by becoming better than them through the accumulation of wealth.

I believe that the only way for me to attain this wealth at the time was to win the lottery, and that is what I visualized doing.

I know this isn't the point, but he's such a bad writer.

He's such a bad writer, and he's such a just a dummy.
