"not for you"... don't mean that.
But the question I posed above... does HE believe it? The Wiki, plus some other things I've heard about him, certainly leads to 'con man'. BUT... I'm not 100% convinced, even with the 'con man' indictment, that he hasn't come to believe in what he's saying.
I'm the same way with that "Lizard People Guy"... and this hasn't got a DAMN thing to do with me believing him about lizard people... I don't, obviously... and in fact that question has no interest for me at all... but what does is: Does HE believe it?
Lot of scenarios possible here, IMHO... elaborate hoax generated and maintained, actual belief, and elaborate hoax that morphed into belief. - JamesJM
Well I see your POV on this, but me personally, I don't believe he believes it. I think he's just spinning a story. For example he can't actually believe he went to MIT when he didn't.
I dunno, I've known people for whom spinning stories is a big compulsion and they just invest in it. Who knows why. It would take someone with more than my 3 PhDs in behavioral psychology (one from Germany) to figure that out.
