| 0:00.0 | So, Berto, what do you know about John Lennon's psychology? |
| 0:11.1 | Of his psychology? |
| 0:13.0 | Yeah. |
| 0:13.4 | Well, I know he had a few parental issues like all of us do. |
| 0:19.6 | And I know he probably had a few chips on his shoulder from |
| 0:23.5 | you know challenges and struggles when he was a kid um and he certainly brought those two bear |
| 0:29.3 | as an as an adult he also had to have because you know when they became big and famous he was |
| 0:35.2 | like in his early 20s so he's still growing up and that |

| 1:28.8 | notes, and so this might take a while. So strap in people. Strap on in. I'm going to state |
| 1:35.2 | right up front what I think is what I'm going to conceptualize his personality, and then I'm going to |
| 1:40.1 | justify it as we go. Now, of course, I can't diagnose him because I don't know him. I've never |
| 1:45.1 | assessed him. So in line with my policy about not diagnosing from afar, not, you know, breaking |
| 1:51.2 | the Goldwater rule, I'm not going to diagnose him. But I will say that from what I can tell |
