A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

I’ve known Amanda Ungaro for years…

My uncle’s wife actually was her baby sitter when her son Giovani was born.

I built a personal relationship with her and befriended her. Amanda was always a troubled person with alleged addiction issues.

Every party I attended no matter what time of day, she’d be plastered and inebriated is some form.

Amanda is not a bad person, during the pandemic her and Paolo moved to a DC area mansion they rented to escape the NYC lockdowns and they partied relentlessly hosting parties with high profile guests of the then former Trump admin.

The last time I saw her was at Mar A Lago in 2022 and shortly after her and Paolo split.

Amanda’s immigration issues spun from her own messiness and have nothing to do with Paolo, she now just making allegations up because she’s mad and saving face in Brazil where she is being grilled for her relationship to Epstein.

Amanda comes from a powerful an rich Brazilian family and her dad is an industry titan of sorts down there.

The PR campaign is real and she is going to try and smear anyone she can to save face.

My two cents is, this is a ploy.

this is what melania is afraid of: amanda ungaro doing a series

[Tara Palmeri @tarapalmeri]

Melania has long guarded her origin story—one that overlaps with the same modeling world Jeffrey Epstein operated in. She’s said she met Donald Trump through Epstein associate Paolo Zampolli, whose ex Amanda Ungaro, a former UN Ambassador, is now threatening to speak out. A source close to Melania said the decision to speak was hers alone.

Thirty years ago, South Africa was a global symbol of hope. A peaceful transition. A moral victory. A fresh start. It had everything going for it — but the story didn’t unfold the way many expected. Here are 3 mistakes South Africa made that America — and the rest of the world — should learn from.

Otto Kernberg explains narcissistic personality disorder as a defense mechanism:

Kernberg is a 96-year-old Austrian-born American psychoanalyst, professor of psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medicine, and the most-cited psychoanalyst in the world. His work helped shape how narcissistic personality disorder is defined in the DSM.

He describes narcissistic personality disorder as one of the severe personality disorders—but one that operates differently from the others.

Beneath the surface, these individuals have a borderline personality organization: a fragmented self-concept, unstable views of others, and an internal struggle between idealized and persecutory experiences.

But rather than live in that chaos, they construct what Kernberg calls a "pathological grandiose self."

"It is constituted by a combination of ideal aspects of the self, ideal aspects of others that have been incorporated as if one possessed them, and ideal aspirations of the self as if one had achieved them."

In other words, the person absorbs the qualities they admire in others and treats their own aspirations as already achieved—building an internal world of grandiosity and self-sufficiency.

The cost? Everyone else gets devalued.

"Others are devalued; 'we don't need them, we are fine, I'm just great by myself, I don't need anybody else.'"

Kernberg explains that the outside world then gets divided into three categories: depreciated, worthless people; those who are great and must be admired so their qualities can be absorbed; and potential enemies who must be fought off.

This structure creates an illusion of stability. On the surface, the person appears integrated and secure—far more composed than others with severe personality disorders. But underneath the self-satisfaction and grandiosity lies "an incapacity to love others, and an internal sense of grandiosity and emptiness at the same time."

There is no genuine mutuality in their relationships. They need admiration constantly but cannot reciprocate.

In therapy, this dynamic plays out directly with the therapist. Kernberg describes a long-term power struggle:

"They have to show their superiority to the therapist and keep themselves superior to the therapist because the only alternative is then if they would need the therapist, it means that the therapist is superior to them and they would feel immediately inferiorized and humiliated."

The therapeutic work involves gradually clarifying and resolving this superiority-inferiority battle, which then reveals what was always underneath: "the underlying borderline structure against which the narcissistic structure was a defense"—the severe splits between idealized and persecutory relationships that the grandiose self was built to hide.

The narcissistic personality, in Kernberg's framework, is not the core problem. It is the solution the psyche constructed to avoid an even more painful one.

🇿🇦 Groenewald rejected a pay increase of over R100 000, saying it would be wrong to take such money while more than half of South Africans earn less than that. He warned that leaders should not benefit personally while ordinary people are losing jobs, struggling to feed their families, and facing daily hardships.

Meanwhile, Ramaphosa quietly approves a R126 000 raise for himself. This is the stark truth: some leaders take for themselves, while others put the people first

South Africa needs leaders like Groenewald, ccourageous, selfless, and focused on the nation’s survival and future.
