You're probably right that he believes his own lies. The type of people to exclaim "I've never done anything wrong in my entire life" (as Scarcella does in the article) are usually the biggest buyers of their own bullshit. It takes serious cognitive dissonance to be able to say something like that with a straight face.

> The type of people to exclaim "I've never done anything wrong in my entire life" If anyone ever said those words to me, I would do my best to never, ever, interact with them. It's prime facia a false statement, and anyone who can say it with conviction (assuming they are an adult) must necessarily be a liar. I've done plenty of things wrong, I've broken the law countless times (which, really is nothing special, literally everyone has, but I've done it knowingly and willfully), I've inadvertently burned bridges (figuratively, of course) and offended people deeply that I never meant to. No one is perfect, anyone who says (and appears to believe) that they are is a menace to society.
