For reference, all of my material for this piece of writing has been derived from a video by the Youtube channel That Chapter by the same name as the subtitle of the piece. He's one of the best True Crime channels on the platform and I highly recommend you check him out here.

Remember the Name
What am I most passionate about? It's in the name! Insinq. Ins-Inq = Insightful Inquiry. This is a favourite philosophical concept of mine called a true name, and I even have a specific formula for working out what your true name is. It's simple, but I think it's elegant and incisive in a way that gives the concept power. The formula is that the first name is the name of the mask you are wearing right now, the current manifestation of your inner personality, while the second name is the essence of your identity, the root of who you are and what makes you tick. The first name an individual has can and indeed will change throughout their life many times, while the second name will rarely, if ever, experience a serious alteration - it is the kernel of their personal essence, what makes them unique at its most basic level. So, for me, my second name is Inquiry, because I am so very curious and I love asking questions - I always have - and this leads me to habitually wear a mask of someone who is, or at least likes to think he is, insightful. I love asking questions and I love answering them, and I have a particular knack for framing and reframing questions in such a way that I am able to produce an analytical synthesis of the problem space which intuitively indicates the direction towards a solution.
