- Dr. Peterson and Tim Ballard delve into the depths of human psychology. They shed light on how individuals, initially harboring bitterness and resentment, progressively immerse themselves in solitary brooding, and twisted fantasies. As time passes, these fantasies become increasingly darker, encompassing violent and sexual elements.

I worked in a prison and will never forget a convicted child offender say to me “ having one drink doesnt make me an alcoholic, smoking one spliff doesnt make me a drug addict, what i’ve done doesnt make me a paedo.” He had been proven to have offended at least 40 times. The gaslighting -lies and distorted thinking i will never forget 😢
😮😢
I'd ask him what does it mean to be a pedophile? What is the definition? What is the mental content of a pedo?
He's probably not smart enough to think like that so it would be pointless to ask.
I'm curious, what did you say?
He was actually handing me his probation report to read prior to release as he was so proud of how far he had come. He had also read the report. I told him to leave the report on my desk and I’d read it later - when I read it it told of all the crimes he had committed (been caught.admitted) which was opposite to what he told me. I’ve learned there is no point arguing with distorted thinking/reasoning/delusion we can’t change their minds. Even seasoned psychiatrists/psychologists have a tough time trying to modify/improve that type of thinking. We were a sex offending treatment centre at the time (many years ago) and there is no “cure.” Over decades of electric shock treatment/castration/frontal lobotomy etc when I worked there they were putting them on prozac. I asked why and was told it reduced impulse by approx 1 second which they hoped was enough time to get a window to their thoughts to decide not to act on that impulse. I don’t know if that was successful or what has been tried since (was over 20 years ago).
Maybe his point was that he's not defined by simply being a pedophile as you viewed him.
Everyone in the neighborhood thought my stepfather was a great guy. Behind closed doors molestations, beatings, mind games, etc. I found the courage to put him away.
Everyone thought this guest was a good guy too. Behind closed doors grooming, molestations, mind games, drug abuse and spiritual manipulation.
Wow strange they would shade comments pointing out that Ballard ended up being just as devious.
Mr Peterson was talking to a psychopath about how well psychopaths can hide themselves, and had no idea what a monster was before him. This video has layers of brilliance.
I left the day after my 18th birthday and went to the police. They recorded conversations of us where he confessed many times what happened. He ended up pleading guilty. Keep in mind he was arrested when I was 12 and convicted for molesting me yet I remained in the home with him there. He started abusing me again at 15 years of age. I am so grateful for being strong and heartbroken I had these terrible experiences. @@Gods_11Warrior
Rock on ma’am. Congrats, you did the world a good deed
"all cruelty springs from weakness."
Also though, all cruelty springs from cruelty.
I wonder if he was weak when he said "give them hell" to people being put in concentration camp. Maybe we should study the psychology of Jordan Peterson's evilness.
Additionally, many evil individuals may have experienced abuse, trauma, neglect, or other adverse events in their early life, which can contribute to the development of antisocial behaviors. This can lead to a lack of moral development and an inability to form healthy relationships with others.
Also, many morally upright individuals experienced trauma, neglect, severely adverse events in their childhood and did not develop antisocial behaviour in their adult life.
More-so broken-ness; consider carefully lest you put out to the universe that u need that lesson.
I used to work in criminal court as a stenographer. This man was arrested and plead guilty to raping his own daughter from age 3 to 5. He had taped every instances of his act. I will never forget what I heard that day. Absolute evil.
Sickening
Being a witness to that testimony would affect me adversely for the rest of my life.
I would have been crying, as quietly as possible, while recording the testimony, like I am now without even having heard anything about that case... perhaps not very professional, but the truth nevertheless.😭
@@Bretski126 I've heard a lot of things in my 42-year career that I wish I never did, but humans are resilient; I don't think about it. It's like I have a special drawer in my brain and all the bad stuff gets filed in it; it remains shut until something reminds me of it. I guess this story did.
@@lmb1962 I hear ya. I have a drawer, also. However, I never seem to be able to shut it. I’m 71, so one day, I’m sure it will stay shut.
"allowing the spirit of sin, that would otherwise crouch on your doorstep, to enter your house and have its way with you" that line gave me chills.
Insidious
Jesus Christ wants a personal relationship with you through the Holy Spirit, not religion and blind faith. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, to pay the penalty for us by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life. Now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and Bible says that His Blood will cover all of your sins, you will be forgiven, saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again, know Jesus personally and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read the Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you and change you, obey the Word. Much love and God bless you!
This wisdom is from the Lord. The full quote is from the Bible. God tells Cain, “If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires you but you must master it”. Genesis 4:7.
Sounds like my ex partner.
He was a sadistic and abusive to me, but charming and so helpful to strangers.
Not to mention his addiction to porn.
As we sat watching a documentary on a serial killer on Netflix, as they played out a reenactment of a young girl tied up in bondage - he started to play with himself. He forgot I was there beside him in the same room. When I asked what the hell u doing?…he jumped and didn’t know what to say.
I felt ashamed and embarrassed for him, but never saw him the same way again.
@@Tend2RoseLol you stayed with him after that?
I did 7 years in a penitentiary for robbery I went to extremely dark places on the inside. The regret and pain sent me into a extreme depression to the point I was praying for death. Honestly reading your book and watching your lectures saved my life. I can’t overstate how grateful I am. Thank u so much.
I hope your life is beautiful today. Best of luck
I hope you're doing well budd
No one cares 😒
@@cm1663 you've got a skill issue
Stay strong dude, life gets bettefor everyone. You'll come to a point where life is feeling so good that you'll feel grateful you never ended it before.
Tim Ballard’s comment “something non-human has made them less human” is an important one, I think.
demonically posessed people
Or they succumbed to it. We all have free will.
Many of them are just born evil I have met such people.Even from childhood years you could easily see the evil in them and they became me worse as they get older
@@kokomanationmy mother was one. My grandmother's last words to me before she died was to warn me that there had always been something wrong with my mother. She had told me stories about mom's childhood that were horrible. My therapist went white as a sheet when I told her one of them
@@nancyperkins2277 my parents were not very normal either my father had elements of sociopathy my mother was probably borderline.The conditions were like hell.I also had many childhood schoolmates that were total psychopaths I would criminals even.Living in such a bad environment traumatised me as hell I get seizures almost when I think of those people.
A true story about the psychopathic personality and their ability and skill at manipulation. I had been a police officer for seven years and was employed at the time with the Glenwood Springs, CO. police department. During the time I was there, I had the unique experience of superficially dealing with an inmate who was incarcerated in the county jail charged with murder. After several interactions with him I remember telling my colleagues that there was absolutely no way he had murdered anyone, and my experience made me feel I was correct. Embarrassingly that man was Ted Bundy 🤕
The banality of evil, I suppose.
I seen some clips on CZcams of his mother been interviewed. I think she was a psychopath to be honest, the things she said etc. Anyway the comments section was full of sympathy for her, I was really surprised nobody could see through her. She simply didn't care about what her son did.
He was an extremely intelligent, clean and politically savvy guy.
Wow
Sure.
Wow. It's the least expected
TB’s first kill was at the age of 11. He went to my high school, several years ahead of me. My social studies teacher had a picture of him on his door. He was sitting straight up with his hand folded in front of him with a slight smile on his face. The rest of the class is talking and laughing to each other. His disconnect from humanity was evident even then. I asked my teacher why he had a picture of a serial killer on his door and he said something I will never forget.
Evil sits among us planning evil deeds and by all appearances is innocent. Most of us never see it coming. Don’t believe it could possibly happen, it’s so horrible. He told me to keep my eyes open. Don’t be deceived.
I will never forget it.
WOW!!!!!!!
Holy Lord that's a little close 😢 wow
I will remember this...thank you.
He was 27 years when he killed his first known victim, is at least the rest of the story true?...
@@joaovasco3059 He killed an eight year old neighborhood girl when he was eleven and hid her body under an overpass. His mother was a dean of women in a college just a couple of miles away and a highly respected woman in Tacoma. The mother of the murdered girl one of her best friends. It wasn’t in his memoirs or the TV movie, but when he told them where to find her body it was big news here.
I was like 6 or so, but a neighbor girl who was about 13 I guess was walking me home. A car stopped and its occupants started calling us over. She ran me through the woods and to my parents house. I'll never forget that day, I would have been dead without Amber.
God bless to her, oh my god.
Amber Heard?
Amber was an angel sent to save you.
@@kendraclark804no human is an angel humans are weak proud hollow creatures..... Yes I'm a misanthrope I even hate myself
lmaooo sure not schizophrenic at all
The problem with having compassion for these type of people, trying to understand them, or hating them is that NONE of it has any bearing of the life long devastation they’ve left in their path.
Agreed. I honestly do not care one whit about them the instant they put their hands on a child. Compassion is forfeit.
There was another serial killer either in Russia or Eastern Europe - I think he was known as the Chess Board Killer. He was a happy out going little boy until he had an accident being smacked pretty hard over his forehead (pre-frontal lobe area) by a swing in a park / playground. His doctor checked him out and couldn't see anything too alarming apart from a pretty impressive bruise and lump. It wasn't long after this incident that he started to become very moody and withdrawn, his whole personality changed. As he grew older it became worse - he was very self isolated. This breaks my heart, to think that he'd have most likely led a happy and normal and productive life if it had not been for that freak accident as a little boy.
In 🇺🇸 you have m○re s¡ck man¡acs than in the who○le R☆ssians existence. 🇺🇸 jails are full of pr¡cks LGBTQ ++++ your c□lture....
Must be Pichushkin, a Russian serial killer, also known as the Bitsa Park Maniac and the Chessboard Killer. It’s really sad that this incident changed him to the point he developed certain fantasies
"frontal lobe dementia" is a real issue. the prefrontal cortex is our"governor". when it is damaged there might be issues like uncontrolled behaviors. when some people get into their 80's they will exhibit extremely disturbing behaviors.
Also describe how the "nobel peace prize" is given for lobotomies, as a victim of such.@@kurtgandenberger6139
John Wayne Gacy mentioned an accident when he was a child at the playground and a head injury and had some seizures following. I wonder if it was true and if it was, it may have been a part of the recipe of the monster Gacy became.
The thing with sociopaths is that they tend to be master manipulators so they may portray themselves as completely innocuous in public, but are able to flip the switch behind closed doors.
So true.
Untrue actually. Sociopaths tend to have a real hard time blending in and ain't better at manipulation than others. The gangers who shoot one another? Typical sociopaths. It's not a proper diagnosis either, just a collection of lose personality traits.
Met people like this when I was a kid. They were always women.
Yes, they were all women in my life too😅
I know my share. They are impossible to do business with once you know their game.
I experienced bullying for years at work. From adults, all college education, but they got so persistent and nasty and creative with it...I never understood how come so much joy from open cruelty can exist in some people.
Happy to finally break your spirit. That makes them feel good and then they twist it in front of others and make you the bad guy.
I'm forever fascinated by this kind of weird cruelty against your own species.
I have been there as well. The true core of it is demonic. The bible talks about a reprobate mind, Jordan is explaining that in terms used in Psychology. Narcissism is an example of that as well, it is a personality disorder that has a particular set of functions, but the true spiritual core is demon possession. Jesus is the only cure, and they don't want him. But you can have him if you just talk to him and read the bible, just focus on a relationship like a best friend, don't even worry about going to church until you know him better, a lot of churches are corrupted. Let him guide you to the right one down the road. Evil is everywhere. But Jesus is greater. God Bless!
Interesting the day you realise how wide spread this behaviour is. From then on life is never the same. You are always observing it and not fighting it.
I'm sorry for what you've been through. The anxiety of going to work each day must've been overwhelming...... try not to get bitter. Don't let them win.
Why were you bullied?
Especially then you a kid. You get bullied abused for being abused in the first place
Many years ago my supervisor was worked in the psych unit at the hospital when Buddy was brought in for evaluation. He said Bundy was so very charming, smart, funny, and “normal” that not one person believed Bundy had done what he was accused of. These were experienced and savvy psych nurses and Bundy fooled them all.
As a diagnosed Sociopath and I wanna give my pov on this topic. I need to point out that we don't feel the private emotions (shame, guilt, remorse, empathy, etc.) We don't have a reason to feel those things. We aren't emotionless, but our emotions are limited to certain extend. I can't speak for all Sociopaths (we can be different), but each one of us can choose to be "good" or "evil". I personally am tempted in many ways, but I choose to not to be evil. Not because I feel sorry for others, but I understand that there are consequences and it leads to self-destruction. For me personally it's pathetic to take on someone younger/weaker! I might add, that we tend to create certain personalities based on another people. We tend to reflect others and do it well, we have a good quality of observation skills. We can manipulate easily, therefore we can be very persuasive. In many cases, emotions are learnt and are only layers, which if you were about to peel of, you'd find an empty person. Many of us are only empty creatures, hurt deeply in the past (mostly childhood). I personally visit the psychiatrist, so that I keep an actual person inside and not just a reflection of others. Our psychology is very difficult, but I chose to not to be evil (as I said already), but to even make good things/decisions and keep myself satisfied. Some of us on the other hand choose not to, what I do understand. Everyone chooses their own path and their own shit
Yes, and like you I too am an empty box that is only full of space, walking about like a vacant vessel permanently devoid of emotion, so what I do is I work in a prison where I witness I can be that close to being inside if I do not conceive a true human inside me and keep my self permanently pregnant with the most humane intelligent person forever gestating inside me, because without that person inside me, I am hollow and will have the propensity toward evil. So, I NEVER allow the spirit of sin to enter me, I will fight it outside on the doorstep of my home, I battle with sin as it wants to enter and have its way with me. It will NEVER win. Only lose, it will as I overcome its power and sleigh it DEAD. NEVER will I collaborate with satan in any venture. For I remain God’s soldier, winning wars with my weapons of truth, faith, justice, kindness, sacrifice and wholesome goodness. Join my army to continually wield our swords to kill evil and cruelty.
@@BrandynAF Let me explain it to you. I've never really had private emotions and do not know what it really feels like, nor that I want to lol. However, not everyone wants to be a completely shitty person and trust me, we who have at least something in our heads, we do realize that our actions have consequences. Private emotions probably suck, I recongnize it on others, but it doesn't necessarily mean, that you even have the right to be shitty to "normal" people. You're never something more, even though I feel like it most of the time. Believe me, it took me a lot of time, thinking and sessions to realize this. Some of us don't at all...
I have traits of sociopathy, from early childhood sexual abuse. In my way, I kind of flicker between a normal, caring person, and one who feels nothing and is somewhat robotic when stressed. In that state, I feel I could do anything without remorse, because remorse isn't something I can feel at the time. It's hard to explain. You can't reference how you'd emotionally react to something when you're emotionally disconnected from reality. It's like trying to imagine a color you cannot see; the frame of reference is gone. So I have to be careful in those moments to do what's best for everyone but myself. I find it's easy to do good things out of spite. Spite towards the indifferent nature of reality, and of whatever organic chemistry started this bastard chain of creation. The evil, selfish thing is what reality expects. So, fuck that.
@@whoislenkacan I ask what u do for a career, I read there is a link to sociopaths and career choices and wanted to see if it’s true
Thank you for your honesty & information. I will keep you in my prayers.
My daughter fell in love with a good looking cult leader, the abuse starts small with words, but keeps elevating, it got so severe, my daughter was beaten until she was unconscious, woken back up, beaten again. My daughter refused to leave him and they non stop traveled to avoid me finding them. Luckily they were in a state that the victim doesn't have to press charges, he beat her in public, a witness pressed charges and I got the phone call to come get my daughter because he was in jail and she was homeless and broke. After nearly 2 years in jail (out because of over crowding), he now stalks us. The police are on our side, but the DA won't do anything, despite numerous online, detailed threats, of him wanting to kill my daughter and our family. I don't know why we don't have laws that put evil people in jail for life! Especially when there is so much evidence against them (he did this to other females as well, it is documented).
sometime one must handle things themselves.
sorry to hear that but if you had instilled how much you valued her maybe she wouldn't go looking for that in others, although it is by no means your fault. how a father treats her daughter will create her expectations for how she is to be treated by other men in her life.
@@MeuriezaYou are wrong. Anybody can be tricked into it. Humble thyself!

Honestly. Sometimes I have moments where I am like "Man, I need to stop watching any more redpill content, it's not healthy on my view on women..."
Then I read this.
And go "Huh, they weren't lying or being over the top, girls can be really that stupid and 0 IQ". Like ffs...
As my momma taught me when I was little. I asked her if monsters were real and she said YES. She said "yes honey, they are real but they are disgusted as human beings, that you have to be able to see through their masks" I was 7 years old and I truly think one of many things great things my parents had taught me, this one was the one of the best ways to teach all people. Young and old. I added when I got older (only 31 now) that if you see that monster, you see that mask, you rip off the mask and expose the monster to all to see.
@josiahwright3751 I have a perfect example for you. I expose a monster, lost my mind, and learned the people who I thought were my support team was non-existent. It ruined my mindset, yet because I did expose him, I found out I was not his 1st, 2nd, or even third. Your approach, go for it. However, watch The Croods the kid movie. Smart to hide in a rock, you'll stay alive... But is that all your own purpose of life... just stay alive, or was it to live?
So actually it was backwards for me. Ruined my life but hopefully saved others....
Not exposing is safer
@cdorothy444 What about the next victim? If you had kids, would it be safer to take the chance of them being a victim of a monster that you didn't expose even though you knew he was. I guess my mind is different than others...still my conscious mind wouldn't be able to live guilt free if I did nothing. To me, that is evil as much as the monsters evil doing.
Ohh see when you said "rip his mask off" I thought you meant to rip their actual face off thereby eliminating the "threat".
I'm a pacifist.
@halcolombo6380 tomato, tomaadoo 😉 whatever suits you best. Now, being against volience, I assume with label pacifist. How would you approach someone like a rapist or a person who tortures others for pleasure knowing the person does this.. what would you do?
Bundy approached me on the West River Drive in Philly in the 1970's. I had no idea who he was at the time until I saw him years later on TV. I was one of the lucky ones. His eyes have stayed with me forever... like a shark
Tell me you're lying, without telling me you're lying. Ted Bundy never let any woman live. If he had interest in you, he wouldn't let you live! He had one goal, and one goal only. To take lives, especially women.
You're lying

Can you explain or describe the encounter you had with him?
If you have bad thoughts. Tell yourself you don't want think about it. Keep doing that regularly, like a training. Result speak for itself. Just remember you are meant to reject the darkness.
It reminds me of the downfall of an addict... at the very beginning, you never expect yourself to do evil or turn evil, but the farther down the rabbit hole you go, you pretty much loose all of your previous self and turn into someone you never thought you would be.. those of us lucky to get out of it r reminded of our evil deeds constantly. ❤
Wow, you explained it extremely well. I've been there some years ago and thankfully came out the other side. That's it, I never ever thought or saw myself turning into someone like that but it can sometimes be a gradual process, once the door is open and it's not taken seriously or dont think you will let it go that far, you are literally a different person down the road looking at that monster you always thought you'd never become.

The terror Ted Buddy caused for teenage girls in our Utah community was real. My husband went to high school with a girl T. B. Murdered. I think it may have been T.B. Who followed our school bus full of girls from the drill team, cheerleaders and pep club after a high school basketball game. He was doing unmentionable things to freak us out. We were aware girls were disappearing. I also, know a woman in our neighborhood who accepted a ride from T. B. When she was a college student. He offered her a ride one other time. She declined. She’s lucky to be alive. He integrated himself into the community among his victims. Some people thought he was a normal, nice guy in their social circle. Evil man! I still hesitate to go out alone at night.
this is why I _NEVER_ go for hikes or down walking trails, anytime of day.
Nothing short of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Terror? They thought he was a good looking guy destined to be rich.
@@Old-Dog00 you evil too
The take away from this is simple : TRUST NO ONE!
We live in a world where trust is necessary to survive. For example, you trust other drivers will stop at the red light, or your boss will pay you for your labor. Yes, trusting people will open the door to betrayal, but there can be no love, trust, or deep relationships without giving folks a chance. Moreover, evil doesn't always need a reason. It creeps up on folks unknowingly and grips them by the spirit. If a soldier kills an innocent person because his commander told him to, is he evil, or his commander, or both? My takeaway is to be extremely careful about your thoughts and all people.
Peterson believes teaching people to be less trusting improves wellbeing (or at least, he wants us to understand the psychologly of bad people we can prevent getting hurt). Most psychologists currently disagree with Peterson on this. Textbook counseling almost always emphasizes teaching clients how to trust (and teaching them the world is safe).
We are adults now; we are not the helpless 5 year old getting abused by our family anymore. Peterson is just wrong on this one.
Sure, there are bad people in the world but there's very little they can do to harm adults with even half way decent boundaries. I'm 35 and the amount of "evil people who have completely destroyed my life" is ZERO. Bad people just really are not very scary. Living in fear isn't healthy, and we don't need to spend 500 hours learning about psychology of "the bad guys" to protect ourself.
(For violence, I'm not counting Gang, Cartel, and mafia because it's for-profit violence. If you're in the mafia or gangs, then yeah Peterson is right... trust no one. But for everyone working in the crime industry, trust is a benefit.
Peterson needs a disclaimer when he talks something "no one in psychology agrees with me in this, but this is my view.". But 25% of the stuff he says isn't in agreement with mainstream science
Take away: STUDY how these people work, and LEARN TO RECOGNIZE THEM. Then, keep them out of your life.
You can trust me. :)
I'm here after watching The Hello Kitty case for the third time. I just can't believe how such people exist. I'm scared. But, what these videos (of true crime) have taught me, is that we should ALL appreciate our lives. Whatever good or bad things and people come across it, it's our life and it couldn't be better at the moment. The purpose of our lives is to improve ourselves, and improve other people's lives as well. We're all here to learn, and to teach each other this important lesson. I wish you (whoever it is) good luck and a true love for the life that you have and to be grateful for it. Thank you
I spent several years in various chatrooms catfishing out predators, and it was very disturbing, you could easily tell after awhile the differences between those who just had some taboo fantasy they wanted to play out fictitiously (who were largely non-offenders) and those who were legitimately obsessed with carrying out their evil wills upon others. These deranged individuals aren't always the socially inept hygiene-challenged weirdos you typically would associate with such, some were outwardly friendly, charismatic, kind, personable, able to hold a conversation, and would take their time nurturing their own sadistic fantasies to reality. There were always justifications and measures of control they exacted over every aspect of their depraved lusts. It makes you realize that anyone could potentially be a predator, and it's not just the sleazy looking old man on the corner, it could be the sweet old lady in the church booth. I think it's equally important to recognize the capacity for great evil lies in the heart of every person, and that it also lies in your own heart as well. To recognize that evil can manifest itself anywhere is the first true step towards being able to combat it when it rears it's head.
The common point those "groomers" shares is that they put on a mask that represent nice and caring; keeps hearing them talks and you will start to hear their suggestive ideas, slowly but surely will devolve into depravity. That is the predator kind. I hope more are aware about the sort of game those sick fk play.
They have a pattern of behavior. They are extra nice & touchy.
There was a pastor in a church I went to who was accused. Only 'proof' was one person's words and one group picture where they were not even side by side. No pattern of behavior. The pastor did not even like kids. He makes it a point not to be alone with anyone's kids. He's even rude at times and screams at them. Never saw him touch any kids.
He was summarily dismissed. Even my kids would not believe it.
Meanwhile, I knew another priest who had inappropriate relationship with a young vulnerable woman. He tried that with me much earlier and I reported him but no one made efforts to monitor him. His people treated me like a leper. Talk about supposed anonymous reporting. Yup, she was one of his "people".
Beware of wolf in sheep's clothing.
i think you missed the point of the video. the "largely non-offenders" as you put it, are walking down the path of becoming those who would carry out evil on others. There is no such thing as semi-innocence, and the ultimate answer is that we as humans have a moral responsibility to not explore "fictitiously playing out fantasy taboos. THATS the first lie you tell yourself. Thats why modern sex culture is so disgusting, and that's why throughout history it's been shunned. It has to be shunned, or every fetish under the sun will start to flourish.
Any decent human being should understand the basic concept of self discipline, and restraining yourself, saying no to thoughts that pop into your head, because the more people say yes to "semi innocent fantasy thoughts" the worse those thoughts become, and the more they spread to others in society, and they stop being thoughts and turn into action.
It's the whole basis behind conservatism, really. Don't stray from what God said, or you will find the devil. and in modern society these people are starting to be demonized. Look at the stigma behind the boomer types, the type of person that might say "the only type of sex you should have with your spouse is missionary position". Theres a reason that was taught. But no one wants to restrain themselves, so they convince themselves over generations that a conservative life style is foolish and wrong.
No matter how close to someone you are, there's always an infinite distance that separates you. You just can never truly know what someone's thinking.

I find it surprising how people think of evil as something you can put an ugly face on, disgusting even. If it was true, why would people still gravitate towards it?
My own opinion is that the evil has its own beauty and it takes a lot of strength to resist it. And that strength is what makes you special.
We are attracted to stories like this one because it helps us to not stay naïve and prevent and fight evil.
I always found the morality of killers interesting. They act and speak about their crimes like it's just another day at the office. When you hear them talk they can be so well mannered, articulate and even excited to tell you about themselves. How you and I would speak about say sports, music, video games, weather, relationships and all that. It's so trippy like dude you rape, torture and murder people. No shame, regret and compassion. The only regret I've heard from serial killers is typically their last kill or attempt that perhaps they failed leading to their arrest or something. Once in a while they regret their first as it's sloppy or/was risky. They refine their predatory nature, techniques and become better at killing. It's with a lot of trial and error. It's a sport or thrill to them. Sadists are from another planet.
Your comment reminded me of something I read years back and that I wish I could remember in more detail. I read about a man in prison who was a serial killer, I think for imprisoning, torturing and killing other men, and he learned that another man who had committed similar murders was going to be incarcerated in the same place which may have been death row. The first serial killer had expressed his eagerness to meet the second serial killer. I dont want to know what those two may have talked about and probably enjoyed talking about.
This really describes how ALL evil develops, from the most graphic to the more "acceptable" (say, alcoholism or drug abuse). We willingly violate our conscience a little bit at a time, pushing ourselves further and further along inch by inch, until one day we wake up and we're miles away from where we started. This is why it's so important to guard our thoughts and actions at the beginning, because almost anything can spiral out of control if we don't draw clear lines that we REFUSE to cross under any circumstances.
I don't think 'pushing' is the (only) verb here. I think there is a 'pulling' there towards a very strong desire, and with every pull, the person lets go of a little bit more of what keeps them from directly going all the way. The thing with addictions is that the more we give in to them, the less pleasure and relief they offer, and the more we suffer whatever it is we try to compensate with the addiction.
The suffering and the need for compensation pull the person apart because the relief and the suffering are obviously related. When one of the two goes beyond its previous boundery, so does the other as a reaction to it. The person is pulled beyond its earlier boundary on the addiction side, which makes the dark side become even darker, creating a downwards spiral in two opposite extremes moving away from the center. What is missing is a human core strong enough to stay centered and remain 'human'.
Wisely summed up
@@mh60648 The fairest point of this comment is the continues daily degradation, which inevitably has to contradict that inner "you know you shouldn't" voice we all have, and in the long run, suffering emerges.
Just listen to the inner "yeah, nope" in the beginning of the rabbit hole and your battle is already won (thought about that while answering but hey, choose your battles, and sharing insight is rarely a bad thing).
Point here, recognize your faults, you cannot progress without seeing and accepting them, but don't accept anything that you recognize as a fault as unchangeable, because if it was unchangeable, you wouldn't see it as a fault.
Now to put it bluntly and peasently,
Nobody is born a cunt, you become one, so try to fight that battle with valor and vigourosly.

I was a graduate student in communication who worked with Ted Bundy’s lawyers during his trial of Kimberly Leach. The question was could he a fair trial in Orlando. We developed a phone survey which included a road map of questions depending upon their answers. We called adults who were subject to jury duty. During the course of each interview They would surmise we were referring to Ted Bundy or we told them we were. And in variably younger women (under 65) would say he was handsome first and second that he was charged with some crime. Older women and men (regardless of age) first said he was charged with murder. A jury of young women was his best bet.
I've worked in academic survey research doing phone interviews. Very interesting to learn about how you were involved in finding out about potential jurors.

I am old enough to remember the 1970's, counterculture, communes, 'do-your-own thing' etc. What few people know to this day is that there were a LOT of predators molesting children in the free love communes and the whole hippie ethos of sexual freedom was a choice camouflage for predators. I am sure there are many thousands of children who were victims of that time and place and no one has ever spoken to and for them.
Tarantino’s “once upon a time in hollywood” really touches upon that also
Australia too. My brother was on a commune where all the parents were so wasted or preoccupied partying that the predator's had a continuous human smorgasbord at their disposal.
The founder of Centrepoint Commune in New Zealand in 1978 was convicted of child sexual abuse, it went on for years. His philosophy was that sex between adults and children was normal & healthy and should be encouraged. There were about 60 children there. Certain groups are trying to normalize it again.
That was my experience as a teenager in the late 70’s.
Not just the communes of the swinging sixties with the permissive culture. The Roman Catholic Church, hardly a bastion of swinging partying, institutionalised and hid consistent child abuse for decades - or more likely, centuries.
OMG! This is what I'm saying. Thank you. Right down to the overstimulation, the Hollywood effect of everything at your finger tips, and lack of abstaining from extremely physical intimacy like it is the acceptable norm.

You can always uncover something.
I believe that’s the case with Bundy. He was adopted as an infant and grew up in a stable loving home. And yet, here we are, 40+ years later, still talking about his heinous crimes. His adoptive mother stood behind him and didn’t finally accept that he was guilty until he confessed shortly before his execution.

The devil is doing its job
My sister, who died at age 49 lived a wicked life. She was beautiful, she was athletic, she was book smart. She was also cunning, conniving, and evil. At 13 she started having sex, doing drugs, drinking. My parents were very left wing and didn’t discipline her. I believe now that she probably had a mental illness as well. She wouldn’t work so moved from man to man to support her. That soon turned to prostitution, drug addiction and alcoholism. She had two kids. Her kids are messed up. She was living with an old man and got pneumonia, she used cocaine to help with the pain. It killed her. She made my life a misery as a child and by the time of her death, I hadn’t seen her in 20 years. I didn’t want my children anywhere near her. The trauma I lived through from her abusing me has colored every corner of my life. I have overcome my childhood because of Christ. Evil exists. Satan exists. God exists. God is greater than Satan. My life is a testament to that.
So sorry you had to go through that, but it sounds like it made you strong, humble and aware. God bless you.
Same parents, different outcome. Something terrible happened to her by the age of 6. Perhaps one day you will find out what it was. This is not to excuse her behaviour, but to give you a reason that is understandable so you may forgive. Dogs that are mistreated bite. Find out who mistreated her and avoid them like the plague.

as an 18 year old girl with three sisters, this is so terrifying. We don't just have to look out for thugs in a dark alley. We have to watch well dressed men in hallways.

I used to think when I was little "if he has a lady walking with him that means I'm safe cuz creepy guys don't get married". if only it was that simple. when I was little I thought my dad was over protective cuz we had to tell someone if we were going out front to check the mailbox. now I just paused this video and realized me and my younger sisters are home alone, so I went and turned the house alarms on. I'm writing a research paper on the connection with feelings and instincts to our personality and identity, but I didn't think I would be so emotionally moved by this clip. so interesting and so terrifying
I wrote a book on the subject of "evil" and am considered an authority on the most heinous forms of criminality-- serial killing, mass murder, sexual offenses, etc. One would say, "evil people," one would say, "people who have often and regularly committed acts which might be called evil." There's a distinction.
On the overuse of pornography, I would say don’t use it at all. It handicaps the brains ability to have healthy social interactions with real people.
I was surprised he used the word "overused" at all.
@lizh7777 most likely because we're constantly surrounded with pornography to some degree. For example, the explicitness of some sex scenes in modern movies used to be considered soft porn just a few decades ago, yet are now very much "accepted".
I think he stumbled over his words and then didn’t start his sentence over. He’s a Christian man and I know he doesn’t agree with pornography whatsoever and wouldn’t advocate any use of it. It’s an unfortunate that he misspoke there and I wish he would’ve addressed it and corrected it.
This society makes it pretty hard to have „healthy social interactions with real people“. Many „real people“ are not healthy at all.
Typical carriage before the horse logic of NoFap. Excessive use of pornography coupled with compulsive masturbation is a symptom not the cause. These people had problems with building healthy relationships first, then started using pornography as a maladaptive coping mechanism for uncomfortable emotions.
And older friend from church used to say: “sin doesn’t stay in the same place”. Words of wisdom.
That's true - they move paedophile priests around so they can keep offending!!
From the Birth I had the unfortunate luck of having a mother that was both narcissistic and mentally ill. She use to sniff nail polish remover and had developed holes in the brain because of the chemicals involved ( but she was a narcissist of the highest order. She convinced two highly respected doctors that she had a new form of cancer that they were going to name after her, until I opened my mouth and mentioned that maybe the chemicals in the nail polish had something do with it.) To say she was abusive is an understatement. When she hit me she would only ever hit the back of my legs, so she could hide the abuse with long pants ( years later when I confronted her about it she told me that she had lost control and did not know what she was doing, If that was the case why only the back of the legs. A place where she could simply put long pants on me to hide what she had done.) As she was hitting me her face would contort into this hideous deformed creature one of pure hatred, and the closest thing to evil is the only way I can describe it. When I talk to people about this, to a person, they all say that I either, imagined it, or I exaggerated it. Then they love to explain to me that she was mentally ill, and not responsible for the things she did to me. ( I just LOVE that. As if it never occurred to me the she was not right in the head and that I must forgive my abuser all that she did to me. (Dose that include the fact that she told me the she wanted to have sex with me as an adult)) The things that woman did to me and said about me could fill a book. I learnt from a very young age how to read people and understand that it is not what people say that matters it is what they do that determines the kind of person that they are. In my teens i fell into the trap of looking into the abyss, and dived head first in. It took me a few years but I crawled my way out, and now am stronger for it (do not suggest anyone try it, But just know that it can be done!) The first step is to not care what people think, easier to do than you think, why care about some persons opinion of you if they have no part in your life.Then all you need to do is understand that if a person says a bad thing about you, it is a reflection on them not on you. After that guess what! You will have a lot less drama in your life! This is just a small window into my life. Next week boys and girls we will go into the messed up world of my so called sister ( even bigger narcissist than my mother, and almost as crazy, ALMOST)

During the Eichmann trial in 1961, a witness told how he watched an SS officer beat a boy in the street. The witness was a doctor and counted the blows. “The story seemed so bizarre like something from another world. It was hard for people to believe. The prosecutor asked the witness if he saw that boy in the courtroom today. He replied, “yes” and pointed to the assistant prosecutor, Officer Goldman.
At the conclusion of the day’s trial, a Warsaw hero came to Goldman and asked why he had never told them. “Why didn’t you tell us. We didn’t know.”
Goldman told him that when he first came to Israel after the war he was sitting talking to a man and his wife about his experience. The husband leaned over and told his wife, “Those people had such terrifying experiences during the Holocaust that they tend to confuse reality with fantasy.” Goldman, “That man’s disbelief was the 81st blow.”
This is how i feel about living through what I did and when forced to tell part of it to protect my grandchildren I was told that I was not considering all of the options - that my filters were skewed. I was invalidated. I was not to be believed - it was the ‘81st blow’.
I believe everything you said. People like us have endured so much. My father was also very very evil and i can also write a book about all the heinous things done to us.
He also does not take any responsibility and blames it completely on mental illness. He would also hurt us immensely in areas that could be hidden with hair or clothes. I have so many health issues due to my childhood. I am still dealing with him 30 years later. I hope we can get out of this and enjoy life more

It ended up with a whole class of over dozen children being paraded without their clothes, made to do "poses", have their private parts "measured for health" and touched everywhere for a crowd of adults and what angers me the most, the story is being removed from the net to make it look like nothing really happened and it was exaggerated. And last thing i heard, after this incident blew up, dozens of schools are reporting the same thing according to their parents. And its getting worse every consecutive month. Lets not forget the Trans issue where "Tearches" attempt to convert kids and make them swear to not tell their parents.

In the late 1980’s I worked at an auto parts store and one of the salesman was I’m guessing in his 40’s and married. Several times he walked by me and touched my backside which really really bothered me. (I’m a male). I complained to the business owner and he seemed to blow it off like it wasn’t his problem. Another day I was up by the front counter and the creep salesman walked laterally behind the counter with his head turned a little towards me, looking at me not saying anything. Behind his eyes I saw another set of eyes “ghost like” and immediately I knew that he was possessed. I believe that within about 6 months he was fired but I don’t know what for. Thankfully he was gone. A few years later in the early 1990’s a man matching his description tried picking up a 5 year old girl and this was just blocks from his house. I then called the police and they had me come in and talk to an undercover officer for about an hour telling him all of the above plus more. Officer said ok thank you for telling us that and from here we legally can’t tell you anything that we do with this situation.

I remember some people accusing Bundy of lying about pornography so as to refuse responsibility for what he did. But I'm quite sure he was telling the truth. Porn was already dangerous in the 1970s, imagine today with the free access to all possible violent fantasies online and the constant glorification of the worst aspects of sexuality.
True it plays on dopamine just as drugs do. That's also why we have more and more sick people who are addicted to it, don't believe in monogamy, child pron. It's a disgusting thing that many defend because they enjoy it and don't want it to be bad. So they lie to themselves
Porn is like the weed of sexual deviance. It seems harmless, you only indulge once in a while to enhance your sex life or when you're in-between partners. But the more you use it, the harder it gets to achieve that "high". So pretty soon you have to start watching porn with kinks. Tame ones at first and then it snowballs.
Not sure if it was Tim Ballard or someone else who said that people who consume porn are enabling the human sex trafficking business. And I absolutely 💯 believe him.
Most people arent gonna become ted bundy because of porn and most people who are ted bundy are gonna be ted bundy whether porn exists or not
Bundy liked detective stories that dramatized women in danger and in pain. He was into that far before regular porn.
Bundy's "pornography" was true crime pulp magazines and childrens underwear catalogue pages. That's apparently what got him excited.

This is all so true. As someone who’s ex is currently imprisoned for breaking into a home and molesting a 5 year old girl….no one believed it. The night he came home and confessed needing an alibi, even I was shocked and thought no way. Even tho he was a living hell to me personally, he was super well known in our area and well thought of. Very charismatic. I was shocked that when I turned him in, the police told me there was a crime matching what I told them reported that night. But most of the town didn’t believe me. I should have known long before I did but I thought he was a just a cheater and drunk. Had us all fooled. I knew something wasn’t right when he openly plotted to murder his ex wife but since he drank all the time I really thought it was just drunken rambling. My eyes are open to it know and I have traumatic dreams more and more often about his release date coming up next year. I very much fear he will hunt me down and torture me and my family. Evil absolutely does exist and it hides itself in plain daylight. Unnoticed by many at times.
Theres a few things you can do.
1. Have you told his ex wife about his fantasy? She may need to be informed.
2. Arm yourself, according to the laws of the state you are in. Firearms are the great equalizer.
3. If firearms are a nogo, less than lethal options should be considered.
4. If he had been in prison and is now over 40 years old, his chance of reoffence does reduce with age. People get too old.
@@Viper54K his ex wife always hated me and actually was upset when I turned him in because he can’t pay child support from prison. So yes and no. I tried but only got so far because she just doesn’t believe anything from my mouth. If she did, she’d be frightened rightfully so. The torture he’s brought up is oddly specific and graphic imo. I am definitely armed. I won’t say where I live but firearms are thankfully very legal here. I still worry I won’t have one close enough of every needed tho. He’s very sadistic and would prey for the most opportune time. Likely in my sleep or when I’m holding a kid and don’t have hands or leverage. It’s honestly very terrifying because we met each other in a bjj class and he’s a skilled fighter who’s much larger then me. I’d like to think I have nothing to worry about but he can be very obsessive. He watched this girl house for a while and I ended up involved without even knowing because he always encouraged us to go on nightly walks with our kids. I had no idea the walls were part of his stocking certain houses and learning patterns. He would also sneak out at night too :( he’s a a year older then me so he’ll be 36 this November and will have served 8 years in prison. I definitely pray he comes out changed but don’t count on it. The last thing he ever said on the phone to me from prison was a mouth is a mouth. It made me sick and hit the road so fast.

Logic teaches us, that each time you let your mind 'go down that path' - the temptation to take one step further will happen. Never let your friends talk you into 'minor shoplifting', never let the boyfriend talk you into making a 'private sex video' for him, never participate in any behavior that is unhealthy. All paths start with a first step. Now I'll watch the video and see if I've paralleled the message within?
It's not just "bad" people though. Sometimes evil doesn't look bad at all.
Sure, your friend in hs, who you probably should stop being friends with anyways, is at the mall with you and wants you to steal like he does, or the abusive bf and his "weird" requests. But what about your friend who is a doctor, and he wants you to go on vacation with him, just him and you? What about your cousin (who you grew up with) who is a lawyer and says she also knows the best stock to exchange?
Sometimes evil doesn't look bad, sometimes it looks like family.
Yes, as it says in the Bible the path to God is straight and narrow and the path to hell is wide.
The irony that Jordan was speaking with a psychopathic predator and had no idea. Truly terrifying.
The discussion of how evil people can be visually indistinguishable from the rest of us reminded me of a line from the film version of Lord of the Rings. "I think a servant of the enemy would look fairer but feel fouler." We aren't born with the necessary level of discernment to consistently distinguish even the level of evil discussed here. It must be developed. You can get some capicity from experience but the most trustworthy source is the spirit of the Lord. Which you can't have if you aren't deliberately trying, and to a sufficient degree succeeding, to be righteous.
When I read that quote from the Lord of the rings you used, immediately a picture of the Canadian prime minister flashed across my mind. Good quote you cited there, public life is full of these people.
I would rather listen to this guy ANY DAY of the week than someone like Dr. Phil. Joran P doesn't hide or sugar coat anything. I love this guy and his videos. Thanks for this. 👍
I would rather listen to 99% of people than have to hear Phil's malarkey and put-on doofus drawl.
Dr. Phil doesn't have a medical license. And God damn is he a phony. He so gross.
Speaking of people who seem rather normal, I'm still haunted by the story of Chris Watts.
SAME!!!!!!!!!!
Thank God for James Peterson, especially being Canadian, we really needed some sanity here after all we've been through the last few years
The way Peterson described evil, especially the pedophilic evil, is the exact feeling I get when I encounter an overly flamboyant homosexual or a drag queen. I also feel especially weirded out when I hear stories of LGBTQ homosexual males that masquerade as priests just so they can violate young boys in the church. It's just a revolting feeling I get and I instantly look for a way out of the situation. It's just something about people like that that gives me the creeps.
I thonk people should (and should be allowed to) trust their gut reaction to threats they observe. You are not alone in being creeped out by these things. Don't feel guilty about it, it is your mind & simple judgement just doing it's job. Trust yourself & simply do your best to respond in an effective way.
Trust your gut. You are not the "bad guy" for having decent values & response to demented influences.
The evilness of Mankind from one to another and how they justify it upon others is truly amazing. Please keep up the great work Dr. Peterson all you are doing is making us more aware of the vileness of the mentally insane.
Mankind are under the influence of the so called ELITE.
Now come on Alpha you're better than that!!!
The worst secret in history is that MANKIND is being turned into robots by insidious technology.
Keep up... or it's betamale for you.
Yours sincerely

If the sane will not do anything to stop the insane we will be all dead by the end.
We´re apes. Apes often kill each other. It´s totally normal, not evil. I´m not saying i like it or that i would do it. But that´s nature. Always been and always will. Unless AI robots become smarter than humans and create peace which i believe might happen
we are members of a vile and evil species...I believe humanity is naturally mentally ill..charles manson said it best "I see on the whole that people aint worth much"
Jeremiah 17:9-10 NKJV
“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.
The problem is they’re taking over our classrooms now and normalizing what would be significantly “evil” to my grandparents. I just imagine where we’ll be when I’m a grandparent, and all of a sudden those same “French intellectuals” are back, but they’re actually allowed to get away with it. It’s like...ok at what point do we stand up a society and say “No more” THIS IS TOO FAR. We’ve crossed the line...when does that happen? If in 2 generations they reduced the age on consent down to these same elementary school children learning everything they are these days in the 3rd grade...where do we go then? Do we leave America to just let it burn in ruins? I mean, I think people forget we’re still a young nation by most standards, if you look at the rise and fall of other empires.
I LOVE YOUR BOOKS!!!!!!!!
I wish I could explain what happened to me when I was a child, and the loosing battle I’ve been fighting for 40 some years. But I can’t. They say it’s not what happens to you it how you handle it, and I did not handle it well at all.
You're still here though man and that's a testament to your will to live and toughness. But I'm sorry. I hope things get better for you.
Gentlemen listening, I say this with the utmost prudence. Stay away from women who are obsessed with serial killers and true crime
6:10 that idea about the 'nondescript nature' of evil reminded me of Leonard Cohen's very short poem "All There is to Know About Adolf Eichmann." I think that poem is exactly what Peterson was saying. You look at a photo of Eichmann at his trial and he looks like just your bookish librarian uncle. Never would one assume he was one of the architects of the Holocaust.
I met a married couple, delivered to their business for months. Then there was a murder suicide in town. I felt I recognized the name. Found out later the husband murdered his entire family then himself. Very shocking, especially how completely normal they seemed.
This helps in not only healing myself but in writing characters as well. Thank you for your time.
'..SELF DECEPTION with REGARD to SELF DESCRIPTION.'
Brilliant explanation.
What is most scary is realizing we all have the capacity to choose between good and evil. We all have the capacity to be evil.
Speak for yourself. I know I don't. And know others who don't.
@@hed2410 Don't be so sure of your sanctity. If you have agency, you can be good or evil.
@hed2410 Yes, you are. Everyone is, right and bad only exist in the mind. Morals are a human construct, and if you go deep enough into a rabbit hole, or have one bad day, then you can be as evil as the next person.
I don’t have the capacity to hurt children or animals. I absolutely know that for sure. But when I think of what I could do to those that DO hurt them, it goes beyond what I’d like to believe of myself.
@Lorianne-1111 You ARE capable, that's the thing. It's your morality that stops you. Anyone is capable of anything, but not everyone wants to do these things because, well, it's wrong.
If I could have a 10 minute daily convo with this man I would heal all wounds. These humans are so rare.
talk to God and read His Word ...the Bible, ask God to forgive you and trust Christ alone for salvation...He WILL set you free
How does one _know_ that they have been forgiven?
And what does Christ do, to give salvation?
I see people saying things like they have a "personal relationship with God/Jesus"
Do you 'hear' Jesus talking to you ?🤔
@zachnar0125 Who wounded your butthole?
@JonHarrington9075, he's a methaphor for your conscious. If you forgive yourself, you are forgiven. But that doesnt mean you've reconciled your problems, only acknowledged them.
@@JonHarrington9075God is not a metaphor. You seem curious. Read the Bible starting with the New Testament. There’s also a really great series called The Chosen about the life of Jesus. It’s free to the world. All crowdsourced. Same people who made Sound of Freedom. Truly 5 stars.
What you two just said here, is so profound on so many levels. Its like hearing the devils playbook and seeing it happen it the world right now, hidden in a utopian trogan horse of pure evil. But i would rather know, than bury my head.
First I started with carrots and thought nothing of it, then I went deeper down the rabbit hole and started eating sweeter fruit like apples until I took the fantasy one step further. Now I eat brownies and I walk amongst normal ppl and they have no idea...
i bet you like the corners you animal
"Only when you are willing to look at the horror of who you are, the beauty of who you are can be nurtured" ~ Sadhguru
One important thing to note is that it all starts with spirits. Demons isolate you first, then bombards a person with thoughts and emotions to warp and twist. The seed is always from the person it seems tho.
That's a cop out. God gave us free choice and a list of do's & don'ts. Some choose to behave and obey, others chase the ultimate thrill at all costs.
Blaming "demons" is as ridiculous as New agers blaming their addictions.
New agers blame their addictions? Interesting.
I'm 6yrs sober from a pill addiction that started during the big oxycontin boom of the 2000's.
I had to have surgery after many shouldveI known something would switch in my brain after I started taking the medication for legitimate pain. Infact, many ppl i knew wound up seeking out a cheaper more accessible drug, some passed away, went to jail and others were fortunate to be sober early on.
I did notice that just because this person was using pills, that person wasn't always "evil" I noticed some were narcissistic, lost, etc.
Addiction has many layers to it.
It isn't always so black & white.
And not all addicts blame others or other places and things.
There are ppl who find it liberating to understand the why's, how's, etc
They feel a duty to spend the rest of their life fighting to not ever become that addict again.
Then there are those who don't care who they're killing by selling drugs, they are not good companies to be around... I could always see or feel how dark spirited they were...
And still big pharma got a slap on the wrist as usual.
Bullshit
That photo of red bundy looks exactly like your younger version Jordan 😂 That's the same gesture you do when you get excited while explaining something
I read the book, and it was one of the hardest things I ever read. The reality was horrible.
As a survivor of sexual abuse ,I've lived with this for 60 years ,I was five. A grown man's sexual preference is thier business, except children and rape of any kind.
Were you able to delete him? I hope you were able to do that.
@@Rundark- He went to prison ,someone decided he didnt deserve to live.
@@sweetjoesph4073 People in prison really don't like people who engage in that sort of evil. Do you know who Nassim Haramein is? He's perhaps the most intelligent person to ever live, he's a quantum physicist the mainstream hates. But Stephen Hawking tried to debunk him for 15 years and couldn't do it. There's something he touches on that might interest you, besides all the other incredible discoveries he's made. He is perhaps the single reason quantum theory moved into the mechanics phase due to his data point for infinity. Don't worry, I'mma big dummy and he can explain all his stuff in ways even I can understand, LOL!
There is a very famous study from Stanford many years ago where the students were devided into correctional officerz or inmates. It took only a few days and the CO's became very sadistic and abusive to the inmates. When all were students
Whats COs
Correctional Officers
@@safaziz5770 oh, thanks.
bitterness and resentment is the biggest tragedy
Wow this interview just explained so much on why people go to the state where the unthinkable happens.
What scares me the most is with how much ease people do completely evil actions. It is NOTHING to them. What angers me is how easily they can be stopped at the beginning, yet the majority is just compliant. What disgusts me and empowers me is how evil is petty. I spent all my life trying to understand what is behind it, some secret meaning of why they act as they act, yet every time, their reasoning is as petty and weak as it can be. Evil people lack intelligence. They seem intelligent only because intelligent people don't count on evil people's stupidity and pettiness. They openly tell you their stupid evil plans, and it is so hard to believe that your brain just misses it.
I always thought they were stupid. People think they are smart.
False. intelligent has nothing to do with anything. Anyone who understands the human mind and how humans operate can manipulate. How do you think the modern world got to be? Governments, the top 1%, Pharma, the corrupt education system, those who run the show, know how to manipulate the docile masses who can't critical think. Blaming people for doing what Fate had planned for them to do is just simply exposing a lack of awareness on your part. Some are meant to be murderers in the story of life, which means logic dictates, some are meant to be the victims of said murderers. Certainly cruel and sad, but truth is truth. Humans don't control anything, they aren't God's, they are egotists with God complexes. Humans are but one species on the game board, and some how people bullshit themselves into believing humans are some how a "good" species lol. When history shows since day one, humans are the most evolved form of cancer. We destroy EVERYTHINHG. Could have been religion triggering that delusion. "We are the children of God, we are supposed to be like God." How fucking arrogant and full of shit not to mention desperate and afraid of reality do you have to be, to proclaim yourself the child of an all powerful deity?
@@ctibagaI'd say that evil is inherently foolish.
I once tried to determine how an atheist could be a good and moral person. I discovered the only way it was possible was to be both HIGH in intelligence, and HIGH in empathy. If you lacked one or the other or both then you could not live a moral life because you would either not care enough who you hurt or not be aware enough that what your actions did hurt others. Sadly, most people are not both intelligent and empathetic, which is why the necessity for religion exists, to keep humanity's evils in check and provide a bulwark against the immoral actions of the masses.
Like darkness is just absence of light, same with evil, it is just absence of God, its not a force it is a magnetic void, a separation, which enables people to do evil without feeling anything
Mom says sin takes you further and lasts much longer than we intend. Lesson in life I often forget
The serial killer he was talking about was Richard Ramirez not ted bundy
Evil tends to appear as attractive, which is what makes it so tempting to some people. From out of the mouth is the heart revealed. We all are capable of Good and Evil; we are all human. And the thing that keeps us from slipping is maintaining the balance within ourselves.
I do believe that no one is born a criminal, and I do believe that some of the worst offenders are basically created by how they respond to extreme trauma. But as with all people, we are creatures of free will.
I myself relate to What Dr Peterson was saying about bitterness and resentment toward the world, fantasizing about revenge, and violence. I have even prayed for the destruction of the world. Wanted to watch everything burn. But what kept from that path was a desire to love those who love me. After my dad died, I was more able to work on myself. After my childhood I was able to choose to avoid certain situations. After I lost my greatest love due to traumatic violent crime, I was able to start getting professional help. I find myself realizing I never really had any control over myself. I was in survival mode always, just trying to keep myself safe from everyone else. And I felt incredibly alone.
I feel for anyone who loses themselves to that evil spirit. Where they feel so alone that they suddenly feel empowered to destroy everything around them, including themselves.
This video, with Dr Petersons insights & commentary is truly frightening.
I was married to a male who very slowly revealed, over time how depraved his thoughts were. I strongly suggested that he go to a counselor, as I couldn't bear to have him tell me about it anymore.
He started seeing a counselor, I went to his first 2 appointments with him. I didn't know that he didn't go to any more appointments after that. He would lie to me, telling me that he was going to his counseling appointment, would be back home in an hour.
Then, he started telling me that he had a desire to break someone's nose just for the experience. That was so disturbing. He started asking me if he could break my nose "just once". Then, it was, since he couldn't get my permission, he would do it while I was sleeping, "so it wouldn't hurt."
I moved into the extra bedroom in our home, putting locks on the window & locks on the door.
Then, he began threatening to BBQ the family dog if I wouldn't let him break my nose. I called his counselor about it, that was when I found out that he never went back to the counselor after the 2 appointments 6 months earlier. I couldn't take much more.
One night I made a sincere attempt to talk with him, he only laughed at me, telling me I was deluded, I was the one with all of the problems & he was just a normal guy with fantasies. We were in our hot tub. When he was laughing as I tried to talk to him, I stood up to leave, to go into the house. That was the last thing I remembered. I woke up in the hospital 3 days later.
I left, then, divorced him.
12 years after the divorce, people who I had traded babysitting with, contacted me to tell me that he had sexually molested their children. Maybe it shouldn't have shocked me, yet, it was so shocking. It made me happy that I had divorced him.
I had known nothing about it, probably would have divorced him back then if I had known.
I told the people that I had not even seen the pedo in over 10 years, that I didn't have any contact information for him. One of the people he molested when one of them was barely 2 years old, told our 4 children about it at a family party. If I had told our children they might have seen as me, bashing their father.
Sounds like a psychopath.
Read "the sociopath next door" by Martha stout and "psychopath free" by Jackson Mackenzie.
WTF 👃🥊
Spiritually, their consciences have become seared, which is why they have no qualms about perpetrating these crimes. I haven’t been the same since I watched the Sound of Freedom. We must keep spreading the word.
Everyone goes through life of the conviction that their experience justifies their actions.
Destructive people are damaged people.
No gods, no devils, just relative perceptions. Humanity IS as it shows itself to be.
As someone who suffered a lot of childhood traumas and was a bright an intelligent kid I could have easily gone down the bad path. We all have the capacity for evil and all it takes is a push and the switch can turned on. No one is 100% good and no one is 100% bad. It all comes down to choice, genetics and life experience. Some are born evil - makes me wonder why? All I can say is if it gets to a point where you are so far down and in darkness and your heart and mind are corrupted - seek help before you do something stupid. Turn to god, he always listens - I know because I’ve been there. The human mind is an enigma, one that we will maybe never crack.
