There is truly only One mind. In August of 2017 I wrote Father Knows Worst: America’s Dysfunctional Family Reality TV Show. Unfortunately its as apt today as it was 2 years ago. And yes, I’m the sort of person who is quoting myself. Not from egomania, just expediency:

Some kids, the ones that are emulating him the most, sometimes hurt the other kids. “
