Bill O’Neill Issues Press Release Bragging About Sexual Conquests

Jaded Jurist brought this one up in the comments:

Ohio Supreme Court Justice Bill O’Neill, a Democratic candidate for governor, apparently trying to head off any criticisms from his opponents, revealed what he says are his sexual escapades over the years on a Facebook post.

A post on O’Neill’s official Facebook said he was speaking up “on behalf of all heterosexual males” after allegations against Democratic U.S. Sen. Al Franken came to light Thursday. O’Neill, a Chagrin Falls native, said he had been “sexually intimate” with “approximately 50 very attractive females.”

O’Neill said he was disappointed by the “national feeding frenzy about sexual indiscretions decades ago” and wanted to focus on the issues like legalizing marijuana and addressing opioid addiction. Over the last several weeks, numerous allegations of predatory sexual behavior against powerful men have come to light.

In his post, O’Neill — the only Democrat elected to statewide office — went into detail about two of his sexual relationships, including one with a woman he said was a personal secretary to U.S. Sen. Robert Taft Sr. who was his “first true love,” and a “drop dead gorgeous red head who was a senior adviser to Peter Lewis at Progressive Insurance in Cleveland.”

I see this as an amygdala defect. This facebook post was a bad idea because nobody wants to know that stuff, and his amygdala just couldn’t see that and tell him.

On the other side must be some amygdala panic at something else that drove the action from the other side. He might have been afraid of charges from one of the girls in his past that it wasn’t consensual, and he can now claim it must have been consensual because he confessed to it before any allegations were made (I would ask the secretary and the redhead about it – essentially identifying them and calling them out makes it feel like he was inoculating himself against future accusations by them specifically, so now he can claim it must have been consensual because he spoke freely of his relations with them before they alleged anything). Or he fears allegations of infidelity, or harassment at the office, or he has shame over his behavior and this makes him feel like it proves he has nothing to be ashamed over. Or he has some self-perception that he is not “cool” compared to all these guys who are being accused, and thus he needs to prove he’s just as cool by telling everyone how virile he is. Something hit his amygdala and drove him to think this was a good idea.

Looking at his face, I do feel a little bit of the disgust nose thing. Just enough that I would think high sex drive, but not near enough to think childhood molestation and homosexuality. He definitely has the underturned upper lip, but what really hits me is, when I make my eyes look like his, especially that little downturn at the outer edges, I feel unhappy, or at least very dissatisfied. It comes through more on the bifurcation in the weak side. The sadness is also apparent in how forced his conscious smile looks and how the mouth doesn’t match the eyes on the strong side.

I think part of reading what people are hiding is that a real emotional expression will spontaneously do ten or more different things to the face, at the eyes, the mouth, the chin, the cheeks, and so on – and it happens without effort because it is all programmed to happen spontaneously. But when you try and fake another emotion over that you usually can only get eight or nine things overridden and redone in the new faked emotion, so there will always be a little thing which you miss which doesn’t jibe with the rest of the expression, and when that one little thing you leave betrays the exact opposite emotion, then it really stands out.

He says “I’m happy and content!” with the right side of his mouth, and he kind of gets the cheeks on board, and on the right side he even does it strongly enough to get little crow’s feet going at the outer edge of the eye. But on the left side his mouth doesn’t quite smile, he can’t get the crow’s feet, and his upper lip is still turned under, and the outer corner of both eyes still droop downward which kind of betrays dissatisfaction. Indeed, together his left side looks like some disappointed principle which just busted you for some high school prank that went horribly awry, and now he is disappointed in you and has to suspend you even though he wishes he could ignore it all, and he hates the whole thing. I can almost see him shaking his head ruefully, with disappointment at everything in that shot.

Meanwhile even though he got the corners of the mouth up and the crows feet on his right side, the right side looks like a guy who is constipated but has to smile for an ID photo anyway. You look at that picture, and if you have developed the ability to read affects, you immediately feel something is off. Ask yourself in the following photo, is he smiling, crying, or in pain:

Real emotions happen without thinking, and just naturally trigger an entire cascade of muscular contractions. Overriding that emotional expression means undoing, and then redoing all of those different things with a different emotional muscular contraction for each one. Spotting the emotional lie means spotting the little pieces the emotional liar misses when they consciously try to undo each piece of the natural emotional response, and redo each piece of an artificial emotional response. In cases like this, it can give you an insight into the real emotional foundation of the individual you are looking at.
