Damn I tried to go back/search but can't find it but another kiwi recently pointed out that narcissism better explains his behavior than autism does, which I thought made the most sense to me because so much of Lucas' behavior is so conflicting, beyond his dips hit brand of hypocrisy
Now I only just discovered Lucas this year, aside from a few years ago hearing about that one weird creep who was banned from Starbucks for hitting on a high school Starbucks barista, and I'm not anywhere versed in the mental health field so I may be speaking out of turn or from ignorance and if I'm spreading misinfo or making ass assumptions, please correct me but it's really hard for me to believe that he has this system in place with a payee, seeing a psych doctor, and court appearances related to his mental health and he's allowed to roam around like this. Even just from phone calls and his most recent transgression.. screaming in the park (he says about BLM but we know it was about semen and zoomer bae fecund).. shouldn't it have screamed that he's a danger to himself and mostly others to a psych doctor? He said recently something about when he went last time (pretty recent) the doctor couldn't decide if he's manic, or depressed, and it stood out to me because WHAT THE FUCK?! How could anyone talk to him for a length of time, let alone a trained professional, and be ambivalent about his abnormal behavior??!
But as it's been pointed out recently in these threads, he apparently has enough wherewithal to look around as he screams into his phone about age phobia. He went from 10000 to 0 in a millisecond flat in that first USB interview, when he was confronted for screaming profanities around children for about an hour. But he was able to convince this guy that he's a perfectly normal 'doing a comedy bit' and was able to carry on to a congenial conclusion to the confrontation. I think his ability to go from 10000 to 0 in no time shown in the USB finally amazed even to Wernologists watching him for a while. Would someone having schizophrenic psychotic breaks or going through a manic phase in bipolar depression be able to exhibit this level of control?
After I saw posts pointing out how in his videos he seems to be talking to someone off screen, or it appeared that he was making a really big show of being on his phone, I noticed this especially in that video in the one Mexican restaurant (that he said he won't reveal the name of). He talks about how he goes to Motel 6 to get a really good shower, another usual Lucas brand of peacocking to the Zoomer baes he's really got his shit together, some more rambling... and right then the server comes to check on him and afterwards he says "Yeah so I'm just hopping around town, having to do my research" and goes on as if implying that all that talk before, about how he showers and can go to restaurants isn't a homeless man's ramblings but a distinguished professor who is traveling for work, which I felt was for the benefit of possibly listening servers or it snapped him out his ramblings and realized how it could come off and had to adjust. This surprised me, maybe because my expectations for Lucas are so low but because how much of a graceful save it was.
How could he have this kind of social understanding that talking about his ability to take showers and buy food has undesirable implications and cover it up so plausibly? Because I thought a big part of his personality is the hobo part where to him, eating a bag of candy off the ground is flexing instead of standard hobo behavior. When he happens to be in a hotel, he makes it to a point to repeat how he showers everyday and always brushes his teeth... he'll probably do laundry later. He says it all flippantly like it's such routine behavior for him but to everyone else, it's a painfully transparent attempt to hide his homelessness, which he doesn't realize because he's been living in the streets so long he's out of touch with normal human behavior, and doesn't realize most normal people don't repeatedly mention very basic hygiene habits. But that example in the Mexican restaurant seems to show he does
How come he understands that women don't want to be used for sex, but doesn't understand that it's much worse to try to use them for just their reproductive parts? Or how especially unappealing it is to females 18-24, which most people understand that if a girl got pregnant at that age, it was probably an accident and unwanted. And that it's a terrifying thing to be screaming at them. Like to me, that was one of the core personality idiosyncrasy that that defines Lucas, his complete and utter misunderstanding of females and relationships. But based on stuff about Suzanne or shared messages from girls he tries to control and threaten, it seems like he does understand SOME things, even more advanced elements of applying emotional abuse or manipulation
I think in the final USB episode, Lucas blurts out "You know I hate all of you" which I interpreted as implying that he had been pretending that he didn't know Goldaor was playing him so he could play him for food and his gf, and that he knows that all those boys he hangs out with aren't really his friends.. but immediately went "well not ALL of you.." because he didn't mean to let on that he's more aware than he is
Sorry for that rambling novel but all this to say, realizing that Lucas wasn't as dopey and inept as I thought had been troubling me.. for 2 reasons. 1. What a shock to my system that there was actually an iota of human intelligence and capability where here I was so certain that at most there was zero, and more likely that he's an active wild tard. And 2. That his escalation from just jerking off to random jailbait girls to messaging them to calling them.. to skulking around casinos, outside bars he's banned from, and college campuses is fucked up and a real threat. Shoutout to
@klickitat for tagging the college in the recent YouTube videos. Hopefully he becomes made known to campus officials and is permanently banned
