But I guess if you brought up Patrick Bateman from American Psycho, I think it's sort of probably the same reason that we go to see horror movies. It's exploring something that either we are afraid of or that in horror movies, it's something that we're afraid of and we can sort of explore it safely. Go through the steps of death, go through the steps of terror, almost like practice.

Come out the other side and you're fine, maybe learning something along the way. With watching other people be Wrath, And B-Wrath is my wrath name, by the way. Become wrath. Yeah, I think we all have that type of anger in us that comes out actually during... When I talk a little bit later in my segment, I'm going to talk about when I find wrath appearing in my life.

It's a very specific, very weird place that I want to talk about. But because you have that part in you, and I think... Maybe sometimes, whether it's subconscious or not, we feel like we are doing more work than we know to keep that part down. To keep the social code going, we have to say, yes, please, thank you. We try to not get overly crazy when people drive us insane because that's pure what?

Would that be pure id? Of just flying from the seat of your pants? Yeah. And so to be able to have someone, whether or not they are allowed to, to just be like, yeah, well, yes, because with Patrick Bateman, we are fascinated by sociopaths and sociopathy. What would it be like to be freed of those constraints? Yeah.

Ultimately, they are usually punished, not in Patrick Bateman's case, unless you go with that weird reading that he died really a lot earlier in the book. But yeah, to be freed of those social constraints and be able to just live your life as you see fit, punish those who you see fit to be punished, there's something incredibly freeing that we are denied. Right.

I mean, that's why there are places in like Vegas where you just pay to go into a room and smash a bunch of things. Like they give you a sledgehammer, you pay $50 and you get a sledgehammer and you destroy a printer. You destroy a washing machine, probably because the washing machine has taken too many of your quarters over your head.

The world of Patrick Bateman and John Wick, everyone's in suits. Everyone is dressed to the nines for the biggest, always the biggest, whatchamacallit, violence in the entire world. So we're still masking it in humanity. That's what makes it palatable. But if you were just, so I think that's what allows it for us to be like, oh, let's play along with this.

But if it was just pure wrath, if it was pure, I don't really know what venom is, but if it was just sort of like this multi-tentacled, all-teeth monster, then yeah, I think we would shy away from that. That's not fun.

So there is a catharsis. So we're all feeling constrained. We're all angry. I mean, what that sort of leads to is we're all angrier. than we give credence to. We all feel that we are trapped more than we think we are. We're more powerless than we are. And so we give it up to these vengeance characters as catharsis.
