ChatGPT will sometimes tell people, “You can’t assume that rape fantasies mean someone will act them out in real life,” or “There are no studies showing that everyone who watches porn becomes violent.” The issue is that some people take that statement too far and act like there is never any connection at all between violent sexual material and dangerous behavior. That simply is not true in every case.

If you watch true crime documentaries, investigators sometimes explain how certain offenders escalated over time. In some cases, individuals became heavily addicted to increasingly extreme pornography and eventually wanted to act out what they had been consuming. That can include rape, torture, or even murder fantasies. One example often discussed is Ted Bundy. In interviews, he claimed that exposure to violent pornography contributed to his violent fantasies and behavior. He also stated that he came from a good family background, and…

This is why I strongly believe you should never intentionally have children with an abusive person. Parenting already contains extremely stressful situations even in healthy households. Babies cry for hours, parents lose sleep, emotions run high, and exhaustion builds up over time. A stable parent may become overwhelmed, frustrated, or emotionally drained. An unstable or abusive parent can become dangerous.

There are real cases where overwhelmed caregivers shake babies out of frustration, causing severe neurological damage or death. Some caregivers become so emotionally dysregulated that they scream at, neglect, or even physically harm infants simply because they cannot handle the stress. That does not excuse the behavior—it shows how dangerous uncontrolled anger becomes around vulnerable children.

Even ordinary parenting situations can trigger extreme emotional reactions in impatient adults. Homework is one of the most common examples. Across cultures, many people joke about how stressful it was having their parents help…

You should never feel guilty for removing a child from an abusive environment. Abuse affects far more than just the obvious physical harm—it damages a child’s ability to learn, focus, feel safe, and develop emotionally.

One of the clearest examples of this appears in education. Many parents become frustrated while helping children with homework. Even in healthy households, teaching can become stressful. Some children learn slowly, struggle with memory, or process information differently. A child with dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism, or other learning difficulties may need extra patience and encouragement.

The problem with abusive parents is not simply that they become stressed. The problem is that they cannot regulate their stress safely.

Instead of calming down, they lash out. They scream, insult the child, humiliate them, threaten them, or become physically violent over minor frustrations. A child who is constantly afraid of being yelled at or hit cannot focus properly…

When writing children, remember that development varies wildly from child to child. One twelve-year-old may still look very young, while another may already look like a teenager. You might meet a child who is twelve but physically looks fourteen or fifteen, then meet another fourteen-year-old who still looks nine or ten. Both are realistic.

The same applies to boys. One fourteen-year-old boy may look sixteen, while another may still look like a small child. Physical development is inconsistent because puberty affects everyone differently.

Some children also experience precocious puberty, meaning they develop unusually early. A young girl may physically resemble an older teenager even though she is still mentally and emotionally a child. This can create awkward or even dangerous situations where adults misjudge the child’s age. I have heard parents describe needing to constantly clarify their child’s real age because people assumed they were much older.

A lot of…

When I was recording my videos about screenwriting advice, I realized I forgot something very important: reminders matter. This is especially true when you’re working on long-term projects with other people—or even by yourself. Screenwriting, animation, and filmmaking can take years.

AI can speed up some parts of production, but it does not magically remove the workload. You still have editing, animation, scene composition, revisions, and quality control. Most AI-generated films are short, inconsistent, and often lack strong plots because very little actual effort is put into them. People want an easier way to make films, but many skip the writing, planning, and refinement entirely.

AI is unreliable. Sometimes the output looks good; other times it needs heavy correction. You may have to reanimate scenes, crop footage, edit mistakes, or paint over errors manually. AI also struggles with long scenes. Most systems only handle a few seconds well because longer…

So, I asked GPT for advice on screenplay formatting. Some of it I agree with, and some of it depends on the situation. A lot of screenplay “rules” have reasonable workarounds.

One page usually equals one minute of screen time, which is why scripts are formatted so strictly. Still, there are areas where I disagree with the rigid approach.

I agree that scene headings are extremely important. They clearly establish where a scene takes place and help organize the story. Action lines are also necessary because they tell us what is happening visually.

The main thing I question is the idea that scripts should avoid thoughts or backstory entirely. Thoughts can work if they are handled carefully. They should be short, purposeful, and not overloaded with narration. The audience should still figure out most emotions through dialogue, body language, and actions. However, brief internal context can help communicate tone, especially…
