> Afaik, Logan is just some internet moron. He has no credentials or life accomplishments, he’s just a pretty face with an attractive personality. Yes, combined with what appears to be significant narcissism with malignant tendencies. He’s so shameless though that it somehow convinces people who want to love him that his malignancy isn’t that bad. In fact, maybe it’s funny! Maybe it’s cool. Just keep watching, I guess. I don’t want him to profit off of other people, I don’t want people to be scammed by him, and I think the situation is awful. But it’s nothing new. People like him are uncommon, but not totally rare and their impact is broad. We should all practice far better awareness of this. Having said that, I don’t agree that Darwinism and economics should necessarily be overlapped this way. The Venn diagram would seem to have some overlap, but people are worth much more than what they happen to accomplish financially. This is just a narrow aspect of what it is to be human, and largely mediated by nebulous things which arguably can’t determine one’s worth from a personal or evolutionary perspective.

Just want to say, thank you, for capturing so much wisdom and distilling it into a well written summary/reply.

  That’s very kind of you to say. Thank you! I think of most of the words I dump onto the internet as incoherent rambling so it’s relieving and even gratifying if someone finds a signal in the noise.

Beyond that, the money lost by those who were conned is being gained by a con artist who will presumably use it to create more and better cons. Eventually one of them might be good enough to rope in someone you care about or big enough to cause widespread damage.
