Lex looks to understanding the human ego and when channeled ineffectively, it can develop into arrogance. He delves into the realm of sports, particularly basketball. We notice certain superstar athletes are accoladed for their abilities and record accomplishments. However, it can be exaggerated to the extent it cloaks where they are deficient in terms of overall greatness as a player. In general, it can inherently create a context for anyone unwilling to confront their own flaws by constantly reminding others of their capabilities. There should not be a fear in addressing flaws within our character. Instead there should be aspiration to improve upon them in order to maximize potential and boost our ego.

Lex addresses how society people have a tendency of loosely using the word “crazy” towards others. It can be towards family members, friends and even strangers. As always he mentions how mainstream media can play a role in perpetuating and solidifying someone’s appeal to the masses, whether it be true or not based on the information being reported. At the same time it’s important to keep in mind, consumers can incentivize Corporate Media framing a celebrity or individual in that light without context.

Lex questions the authenticity of the feminist mantra "Equal Pay, For Equal Work". Female athletes in the sports world feel as if women aren't paid a fair salary compared to their male counterparts. After the Women's US Soccer Team won this year's World Cup Tournament they have filed a lawsuit against the USSF (United States Soccer Federation) for gender discriminatory practices in pay equity when the Men's team have failed to qualify last year. Subsequent to this story there has been another outcry of salary disparity from WNBA players demanding the same percentage of revenue NBA players are receiving from their organization. In light of these news breaks, one must bare in mind that the advocation for equal pay in this third wave of feminism, seem to disregard multiple factors that contribute to the wage differences. As a result mainstream media rushes to label this report as a "wage gap" hysteria that is solely due to male privilege under the benefit of the patriarchal system. One must ponder if feminist genuinely adhere to their own slogan. Feminists failure to fight for equality where there are women being paid more than men in male dominated fields as well as other professions dominated by women. In the case of sports there's a failure in acknowledging on how the women's league generates revenue, while not performing the same number of games in their schedule and attracting viewership in comparison to men's sports. There's an imbalance of information in need of clarification in how these profit numbers are calculated and allocated in the sports entertainment market.

Lex expresses how people have a basic conception of monsters yet there is little understanding as to why they exist. These monsters can be fictionally represented through animated films, story books or actual human beings that have lived or are still living amongst us today. Monsters are not born, they’re made. If we are willing to concede that, then we have a better chance of preventing them from spawning within our existence.
