Killing Cousins - The True Story of the Worst Case of Serial Sex Homicide in American History

OJ Modjeska

Sinossi

After an investigation spanning nearly two years, Los Angeles investigators come up empty in the case of a terrifying serial sex killer.
 
But then, a seemingly unrelated arrest is made across state lines. In book two of Murder by Increments, we journey deeper into the life and mind of the suspect at the center of the case: one of the most confounding and mysterious serial killers in American history.
 
Killing Cousins documents the shocking story of an abusive childhood that created a monster, and the suspect's possible involvement in a separate string of killings of teenagers in Rochester, New York.
 
Did this man truly have multiple personalities, or was he a cunning sociopath enacting a daring hoax against the criminal justice system? By the end, you make up your own mind.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect - Why...

William Rands

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias that leads individuals with limited knowledge or ability in a particular area to overestimate their competence. Named after psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, who first identified this phenomenon in 1999, the effect reveals a paradox in human cognition: the less people know, the more likely they are to believe they know everything. Conversely, experts in a field tend to underestimate their abilities, assuming that others possess the same level of expertise. This bias is not only fascinating from a psychological standpoint but also carries significant implications for personal, professional, and societal development.
At the core of the Dunning-Kruger effect is the misjudgment of one’s capabilities, which stems from a lack of metacognitive awareness—the ability to assess one’s own knowledge and skills accurately. Incompetent individuals, lacking the expertise required to recognize their deficiencies, are unable to discern how little they know. This lack of insight leads them to overestimate their abilities and make decisions based on flawed reasoning. As a result, they may unknowingly engage in behaviors that exacerbate their incompetence, further reinforcing their false sense of expertise.
One of the most compelling aspects of the Dunning-Kruger effect is its broad applicability across various fields. From everyday social interactions to high-stakes decision-making in professional environments, this cognitive bias affects people at all levels. In the workplace, for example, leaders with limited knowledge in a specific domain may make decisions that negatively impact their teams, while employees with expertise may remain silent or defer to those who appear more confident. In education, students and teachers alike may fall victim to this effect, with the former believing they fully understand a topic despite limited comprehension, and the latter overestimating their teaching efficacy.

What Happened When I Was Asleep

WILLIAM DINGWALL

This book expresses the truth of the world that is being hidden and concealed by those in positions of power. It highlights how we have been denied our basic right of freedom through optimized control from those we see as our leaders. There are truths about the world and the universe as a whole that we are not told or that are hidden from us. Due to this, we are exposed to things that we may not understand or that may manipulate us in a way we cannot control. If we were to uncover the truth and learn about the real workings of the universe, we may get a chance to save ourselves and expose those who are the manipulators.
