The term self-immolation broadly refers to acts of altruistic suicide, otherwise the giving up of one's body in an act of sacrifice. However, it most often refers specifically to autocremation, the act of sacrificing oneself by setting oneself on fire and burning to death.”
And I flashed on your words from a previous post about the “x-rated” when faced with the obvious hypocrisy of his behind the scenes behavior saying “the closer you get to the flame the more it burns”

It’s echoed a bit by Don Johnson’s report of sharing with Prem how disturbed he was to learn Prem was drinking heavily. Prem he says first replied “who told you?” And then proposed - maybe it’s a test.
I believe Don likely failed that test, thus why he didn’t become further “x-rated”.
I think like many malignant narcissists he spreads the disease this way, testing for how loyal a premie will be, to he how much trust he can give them in keeping his secrets.
Yes, Ave Maria!
