I’ve read a few researchers who say that you don’t get to join the “wealth and fame” club until you prove your devotion to darkness.
CONTENT WARNING: THe following linked video contains disturbing content. I found the interview with Ronald Bernard illuminating - he seems like the playboy who was having fun and says that in hindsight, he was “in training to become a psychopath, and failed.” He was lured into the fast life and then one day he was told the next step was for him to sacrifice a child. That broke it for him. There’s a video he’s in where they have several people speak and it’s the victims that have the haunted eyes that I find most disturbing. They speak of having been forced to do things that would simply put an end to the person undertaking such actions - and there they sit with haunted eyes. I don’t recall the rest of this particular interview - there’s one with him it along with others that is VERY hard to get through.
