The offender just gone off on a "fling", I've seen it before. They did not work at the relationship, they probably won't work on their next one either. Short-term fancy over long term stability. Both men and women get sucked up into affairs like this. Seen a work colleague completely breakdown when it happened to him, left standing bemused / confused.

I didn't listen to the whole thing but what it sounds like he's doing is giving you the statistics of finding a particular word but not stating how that compares to the statistics of finding arbitrary words. There is a standard comic called Dave Gorman (I believe it was) who showed how people in the UK had found ancient "lay lines" by linking up certain stone monuments or artefacts but then went on to show that UK supermarket Lidl or Aldi stores were also apparently built all lined up with one another and although it was a comic act, you couldn't argue with it.

Racism and sexism is on the decline but classism is still here and Meghan was marrying into the biggest "I'm better than you" club in the world... Royalty. I have personally been the victim of classism when I was ousted from my seat in a Bournemouth theatre by a footman who promised me a compensatory drink for moving which then didn't materialize and I heard the snooty nosed Conservative party councilor mutter "oh thank goodness, what were they doing here" like we were scum sat in the front row. Now it would be nice if Meghan could have expected to move into a non racist "firm" but I tell you it would be like moving into a cow shed and expecting not to get poop on your outfit. -

Who you really are is always some façade, that we think will be acceptable in the current surroundings, so you changed your acquaintances, and found it more comfortable, felt more "yourself", but you may in fact change again, and again. Things like "responsibility" may become more important than hedonism for example. Look into even more deeply, and you may find something called the truth of "no self", a realisation that you are only a concept you hold onto.

Anna, do you want to know the sad truth? I didn't know at the time what this lady, sorry "sister", was telling me. It wasn't long until I was out, but it was many years before I decided to work on my thinking skills, and I don't mean intelligence, I mean actually the ability to "let go" of everything you hold as secure or solid in your mind.

Well I have no idea if it's a serious question or the context however if you can get the person to take up a serious meditation habit, it can show them things, such as their own behaviour, much in the way psychedelics can do, apparently.
