In Dostoevsky\u2019s book Crime and Punishment, the character Raskolnikov says, \u201cAll people seem to be divided into 'ordinary' and 'extraordinary'. The ordinary people must lead a life of strict obedience and have no right to transgress the law because they are ordinary. Whereas the extraordinary people have the right to commit any crime they like\u2026just because they happen to be extraordinary.\u201d Spoken like a true psychopath, my dude. It probably won\u2019t surprise you to hear that Raskolnikov murders an old woman in that book\u2014not just for the money, but to prove to himself how \u201cextraordinary\u201d he is. That the rules most of us abide by aren\u2019t for him. Today\u2019s case is about a modern-day Raskolnikov\u2014a self-proclaimed intellectual whose grandiose narcissism hid a deep well of rage and insecurity, and led him to not only commit a brutal murder, but to tell us all about it on his blog.\xa0
