Bronson appears to be a classic case of someone with brain abnormalities - the lack of impulse control, the ready violence, and the self-aggrandizement are all typical features. Therapy can't work because the structure of the brain is too abnormal for any conscious attempt at behavior adjustment. What's sad is the list of hangers-on, the people who think it's glamorous or "woke" to associate themselves with him in the hope of becoming transiently better-known themselves. This is also typical human behavior and no doubt symptomatic of less intractable psychological maladjustment.
