  It's honestly insane how fast you are able to put out videos of this length and production quality.

  When his sister "read his book for the THIRD time" and "it blew her mind" .. She realized he insane and at that point you just pretend to agree with them. Psychotic people are scary to talk to, especially if they are a family member. They relentlessly pursue their halucinations and wont stop talking to you about it. In the end you just say "Ok wow, that's so cool. Yeah! Totally!" .. because it's the only way to get a break

  The fact that 14 million people could just drop off the face of the earth, whether they want to or not, is something that is both intriguing yet disturbing.

  I love how for the math section, rather than just adding the 1 and 1 together and then dividing by 2x to get x = 1, he tries to make it look more complicated by adding 2 more unnecessary steps by negating the entire equation and then pulling out the -1 (but then forgetting to make the 2 positive).

  The cicada 3301 image should&apos;ve been a major red flag (they&apos;re an anonymous group that did a few worldwide Alternate Reality Games), along with how neat his room was (indicative of pre-planning and clear thinking.) And the sheer number of books he was able to write. Haven&apos;t finished the video but I&apos;m calling it that his &quot;big project&quot; was orchestrating his disappearance. He is not schizophrenic, he&apos;s narcissistic.<br><br>ETA: someone&apos;s pointed out that bipolar with manic delusions of grandeur might be closer to what&apos;s happening here instead of narcissism. It&apos;s too much upfront prep with no guarunteed recognition for a narcissist, and I feel that&apos;s a good point. Would also explain the word vomit books and excessive props.

  I love how when the cops questioned the moral ambiguity, the lady basically just said “you think Bruno is bad because YOU’RE BAD!”

  essentially, this guy has no barrier in his head between being wrong and getting pushback because people dont like change<br>when he gets told hes wrong, it must be because people dont like his totally profound discoveries, not because what he does is worthless<br>he constructed a way in which he can tell himself that he is literally never wrong

  The way we’re getting desensitized of missing cases unless there’s something interesting enough for us. it’s kinda weird.

  As a Brazilian, I have to say, it was impressive that he came back! Going missing on Acre is not easy, he could’ve been eaten by a dinosaur or actually been abducted by a UFO! <br>I mean, we don’t even know for sure if Acre even exist!

  this case was much discussed here in Brazil, The boy from Acre. This case even managed to appear several times on Fantastico (the most watched television show here that airs every sunday on Globo). This boy had this much attention because the state that he lives on (Acre) is very random, not much journalistic news come from there. At this time it was common meme on the brazilian internet to say that Acre has dinossaurs and aliens so, when this bro went missing with a lot of extraterrestrial references, everyone started panicking thinking that this was a real abduction case. Almost every social media and tv station were talking about this dude at the time. Turned out that he was just &quot;lost&quot; on the woods next to his house. If I remember right all this thing were just a Marketing strategy to the book he would publish later, but this book was a commercial failure. (Sorry for bad english, I&apos;m from Brazil)
