I met Melissa Hortman in October of 2024. She was smart and kind. I heard about her murder in a LA hotel room and it dropped me to my knees. So I went to Minnesota and talked to her kids, parents, and friends. This is not true crime, this is Melissa in real life. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

There’s a sort of Dunning-Kruger effect happening where people who read widely, consider various perspectives, and put in effort to understand views they disagree with worry that they don’t do that enough, while people who don’t do any of that accuse others of being in a bubble and call it a day.

“It’s important to make people feel like they have agency, that they have choice within the set of parameters you give them,” Mr. Pearlman writes. He promises to teach you how to enter “magic mode” to deal with rejection, and, even better, “how to let the haters fuel you.”
As a mentalist, Oz Pearlman has found success by entertaining rich and influential crowds. His new book — part self-help, part business — seems primed to resonate with the manosphere.
