This comprehensive guide delves into the essential business structures and financial considerations for both artists and their managers within the music industry. It highlights the critical need for both parties to formally structure their business operations, often with legal and accounting advice, to manage tax implications and liability. For artists, the text emphasizes active participation in financial management, including personal and career budgeting, understanding diverse income streams, and engaging professional financial advisors as their career progresses. Managers, conversely, are shown to require robust financial planning for their own business and are primarily compensated via commission, while maintaining transparent financial practices and expertly managing artist funds and expenses. Ultimately, the source underscores that a successful music career is inherently tied to sound financial understanding and management for all involved.

Verbal Supremacy and Universal Origins (Based On NeilBeats "In The Begginning" Skit)

The provided sources collectively present a radical and sexually explicit reinterpretation of creation and divinity, centered around a speaker's provocative claims of personal responsibility for the Big Bang. This cosmic event is described as a "massive sexual orgy" initiated by the speaker's sexual prowess, leading to the universe's explosive origin. The speaker aggressively dismisses traditional religious figures like Jesus, portraying them as inferior rivals and challenging their divine status while asserting their own sexual acts as the ultimate primordial force from which all existence, including breathing and water, originates. The overarching theme emphasizes the speaker's perceived sexual dominance as the foundational principle of reality, aggressively rejecting conventional spiritual narratives.

The U.S. online gambling market has exploded since the 2018 PASPA overturn, transforming gambling into a ubiquitous 24/7 mobile activity. The total sports betting handle grew from $6.6 billion in 2018 to over $121 billion by 2023, with projections for 2024 reaching nearly $150 billion. The industry has seen 18 consecutive quarters of year-over-year growth.
Key Players & Market Share: FanDuel (35%), DraftKings (32%), and BetMGM (11%) are the dominant online sports betting platforms. Other players include ESPN Bet and Caesars Sportsbook. Notable individuals involved in the industry discourse include Jordan Maynard, chair of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, Don Levy, director of the Siena College Research Institute, Aaron Chimbel, dean of St. Bonaventure University’s Jandoli School of Communication, and Marc Potenza, Yale psychiatry professor. Research was compiled by Neil Pontecorvo.
Demographics & Behavior: Online gambling primarily attracts younger, male, and technologically fluent individuals. Approximately 22% of all Americans, including nearly half of men aged 18-49, have an active online sports betting account. In a 2022 study, 48% of Millennials and 36% of Gen Z reported only wagering online. Young adults (18-35) are 1.51 times more likely to report problem gambling than middle-aged adults, and men are 3.4 times more likely than women. Between 6% and 10% of sports bettors meet the criteria for problem gambling. A 2024 Morgan Stanley survey noted 60% of 21-34 year olds place at least three bets weekly.
App Design & Marketing: Betting apps are described as "sophisticated psychological engines" designed to compel engagement. They exploit dopamine responses through features like variable-ratio reinforcement and the "near-miss" effect, and promote high-frequency, frictionless in-game betting. Ease of use is the top priority for 48% of bettors when choosing an app. Aggressive, celebrity-driven marketing campaigns, featuring figures like Charles Barkley (FanDuel), Kevin Hart (DraftKings), and Jamie Foxx (BetMGM), normalize gambling. A University of Bristol study found 75% of non-sponsored social media posts by leading operators lacked problem gambling support messages.
Societal Harms: The "frictionless" model is directly linked to elevated rates of problem gambling.
• Financial Ruin: Within four years of online sports betting legalization, personal bankruptcy filings increased by 28%, equating to an estimated 30,000 additional bankruptcies annually. Average credit scores dropped, and debt in collections rose by 8%. Nearly one in four sports bettors (24%) have missed a bill payment due to gambling.
• Intimate Partner Violence (IPV): An unexpected local home team loss in legal sports betting states was associated with a 10% increase in IPV reports.
• Suicidality: Individuals with a gambling disorder have a 15 times higher rate of death by suicide than the general population. Between 48-70% of Gamblers Anonymous members have contemplated suicide. The estimated annual social cost of gambling-related harm in the U.S. is $14 billion.
Regulatory Landscape: While 50% of Americans support online sports betting legality, 65% believe it will create compulsive gamblers. A majority (58%) advocate for federal regulation to protect customers, with 63% supporting the SAFE BET Act to restrict advertising, mandate deposit limits, and ban AI tracking of user behavior. Regulators, such as Jordan Maynard, describe the industry as a "highway without speed limits". There's a critical view that the "responsible gambling" approach overemphasizes individual responsibility, shifting blame from industry and government to the gambler.

Self-defense in New York aligns with Andrew Branca's five elements:
1. Innocence (Not the Initial Aggressor): The defender must not have provoked the conflict with intent to cause physical injury, been the initial aggressor, or engaged in mutual combat. An "initial aggressor" is the first to use or threaten imminent unlawful physical force, not necessarily who strikes first if responding to an imminent threat. Words alone do not constitute aggression. An initial aggressor can regain innocence by withdrawing and effectively communicating it, provided the other person persists with deadly force. People v. Guerra illustrates this complexity.
2. Imminence (Immediate Threat): The threat must be "actually occurring or immediately about to occur" ("right now"). Threats of future harm are not justified. A person need not wait to be struck if an attack is reasonably believed to be imminent.
3. Proportionality (Matching Force to Threat): Force must not be excessive. Non-deadly force is justified against "unlawful physical force". "Deadly physical force" is force "readily capable of causing death or other serious physical injury". Deadly force is justified only against "unlawful deadly physical force" or to prevent specific violent felonies: kidnapping, forcible rape, forcible criminal sexual act, or robbery. For premises defense, deadly force is authorized to prevent arson or burglary of a dwelling. Disparity of force (e.g., multiple attackers, size difference) can make an unarmed attack a deadly force threat.
4. Avoidance (Duty to Retreat): As a "Duty to Retreat" state, deadly force is prohibited if one "knows that with complete personal safety, to oneself and others he or she may avoid the necessity of so doing by retreating". This duty applies only to deadly force, not non-deadly force. The "Castle Doctrine" is a key exception: no duty to retreat if in one's own "dwelling" and not the initial aggressor. A "dwelling" is a building or part usually occupied at night, but does not extend to common areas, public spaces, businesses, or vehicles; exclusive possession and control are key. People v. Aiken narrowly defined "dwelling". Police officers are exempt from this duty. Legislative proposals (S1120, S1473) to eliminate the duty to retreat entirely have not yet passed.
5. Reasonableness (Hybrid Subjective-Objective Standard): This overarching principle requires a defender's perceptions and actions to be those of a "reasonable person in the defendant's situation". The landmark case People v. Goetz established a "hybrid subjective-objective standard". This involves a subjective prong (did the defendant actually believe force was necessary?) and an objective prong (would a "reasonable person" in the defendant's exact circumstances, including knowledge, past experiences, and physical attributes, have shared that belief?). Reasonable mistakes of fact are considered.
Even if justified, individuals can face initial arrest and criminal charges (e.g., assault, homicide) during investigation. Civil lawsuits from attackers or their families are also possible, although some legislative proposals aim to provide immunity and cover legal fees for justified actions. The use of illegally possessed weapons can undermine a self-defense claim and lead to separate charges. New York Penal Law § 35.27 prohibits using physical force to resist arrest, even if unauthorized, if the actor reasonably appears to be a police officer. Practical advice emphasizes seeking legal assistance, documenting the incident, understanding rights, and demonstrating formal self-defense training. The Simran Gordon case exemplifies the application of these laws for police officers, with the OSI finding the officer's use of deadly force justified due to reasonable belief of imminent deadly threat and impossibility of safe retreat.

we live with a paradox. Every day, we experience ourselves as authors of our own lives, making conscious choices that shape our futures. Yet, for over a century, a dominant scientific narrative has suggested this feeling is an illusion. We are, in this view, biological machines—complex collections of molecules governed by the deterministic laws of physics, with every action necessitated by prior causes. Our sense of freedom is just a story our brains tell themselves after the fact.
But what if that narrative is built on an outdated and incomplete picture of science? Neuroscientist Kevin Mitchell, in his book Free Agents: How Evolution Gave Us Free Will, presents a powerful counter-argument. He contends that free will is not a ghost in the machine but a real, evolved biological property. Mitchell’s work aims to dismantle the simplistic deterministic worldview and ground our capacity for choice firmly within a modern, naturalistic scientific framework.

DEEP DIVE | How Evolution Built Agency, Free Will and Brain (Restricted Knowledge)

## A Psychoanalysis of Ed Gein & Alfred Hitchcock

This analysis explores the psychological intersection between Ed Gein, the 1950s Wisconsin serial killer, and Alfred Hitchcock's masterwork "Psycho," examining how real-world psychopathology became cinematic horror through psychoanalytic frameworks.

### Ed Gein: The Psychological Profile

Ed Gein was a 50-year-old bachelor living in isolated conditions on a decaying Plainfield, Wisconsin farmhouse when authorities discovered his crimes in 1957. His psychological breakdown reveals how isolation exacerbates mental instability—after losing his domineering mother, Gein's reclusive nature led to bizarre obsessions including necrophilia, grave robbing, and creating objects from human remains. The community's denial played a significant role, as residents dismissed him as a harmless eccentric rather than confronting the reality of his violent pathology. This collective denial allowed his atrocities to unfold unchecked, demonstrating how communities can ignore troubling signs by convincing themselves that such horrors are impossible in their midst.

### The Hitchcock Connection

Robert Bloch's novel "Psycho" drew loose inspiration from Gein's case, creating the character Norman Bates—a mother-dominated killer. However, Hitchcock's relationship to the Gein material was more distant than popular culture suggests. The director left most story structure to screenwriter Joseph Stefano, who focused on Hitchcockian suspense techniques rather than deep Gein research. Netflix's recent "Monster: The Ed Gein Story" depicts Hitchcock reconstructing Gein's house and showing it to Anthony Perkins, but historians confirm no such event occurred—this represents dramatic license, not documented history.

### Psychoanalytic Themes

The film explores profound psychological fragmentation through the Norman-Marion parallel. Both characters exhibit split personalities: Marion distances herself from her conscience after stealing money, while Norman embodies literal dissociative identity disorder. Hitchcock employs mirrors systematically to represent this doubling—Norman's reflection in windows shows his "second self," with one side bearing an awkward smile while the reflected side appears grim and tight-lipped. The use of inner monologue links Marion's neurosis to Norman's psychosis, demonstrating how the film foregrounds similarities between them, starting with their names.

The viewer's gaze becomes complicit through Hitchcock's technique—when Norman watches Marion's car sink in the swamp and it stops momentarily, the anxiety arising in viewers reveals their desire is identical to Norman's, forcing them to confront that their impartiality was always false. This de-idealization of the gaze exposes the pathological desire maintaining it.

### Cultural Impact

The films of Alfred Hitchcock typically present mental disorders and psychoanalysis as main themes, though not created with academic goals, naturally containing some distortions. "Psycho" situates itself within postwar contexts of madness and became paradigmatic for representing psychopathology in cinema. Gein's case revealed how evil can masquerade as normalcy—seemingly ordinary individuals harboring deep underlying darkness that communities willfully ignore 

This psychoanalytic examination reveals how isolation, maternal domination, split identity, and viewer complicity intersect to create one of cinema's most enduring psychological horror narratives, rooted in the disturbing reality of American serial violence
