      ​@@Sam-im5tc Humans have a natural preference for familiarity, if what they see as familiar comes from an excessively drastic and twisted contrast with the normal, normal simply won't ever make sense or matter to them, as a matter of fact, their understanding of reality is just flipped, normal is absurd and absurd is normal. Just like "normal" people can't understand "crazy" people, "crazy" people can't understand "normal" people. One is always a product of his enviroment, if free will was real, everyone would be perfect because that would mean everyone would always have a perfect understanding of their situation and naturally would always make the best choices. But as we can see in real life, that's not the case. Humanity is capable of the best and the worst imagineable and unimaginaeble, people are not really people, but objects, objects of nature, objects of what came before, as in, objectively predictible. Evil is just a human construct, because when something terrifying happens, someone or something has to be blamed, even when everyone is the victim.

      @ dont ever underestimate the effect of the experiences in childhood to create the person you later come to be. If he had a stable loving upbringing he could of became a decent normal person. All though he appeared psychotic and crazy underneath it all he demonstrated clarity and sanity and intelligence. It was most likely the trauma and abuse and abandonment as a child that created the anger and pain and hatred that was exposed itself with criminal behavior and violence. He was not a schizophrenic or psycho that was just a character he created to justify his behavior to himself and maybe others but if raised right he could of been a good normal man.

      One possible example could be a child who grows up in a household where they are constantly subjected to physical and emotional abuse from a parent or caregiver. This constant mistreatment can lead to the child developing deep-seated feelings of anger, shame, and insecurity.
      As they grow older, these unresolved emotional wounds may manifest in destructive ways. The individual may struggle with issues such as low self-esteem, trust issues, and difficulty forming healthy relationships. Without proper support and intervention, they may begin to exhibit abusive behavior themselves, repeating the cycle of violence and perpetuating the cycle of trauma.
      In this situation, the individual has internalized the abusive patterns they experienced as a child and may unconsciously replicate them in their own relationships. They may lack the insight or self-awareness to recognize the harm they are causing to others, as they are blinded by their own pain and trauma.
      It is important to acknowledge that this behavior is not excusable, but rather a tragic consequence of unaddressed trauma and the cycle of abuse. Breaking this cycle requires intensive therapy, self-reflection, and a commitment to changing harmful patterns of behavior. It also requires holding the abuser accountable for their actions and providing support and resources for both the abuser and their victims.

      Rayne S.G. Despite the impression my own comments may leave, I agree. Circumstances may make decisions easier or harder, but until we figure out exactly what "grit" is, it sure seems like exactly what you are saying is true. So far, it seems that the discovery of "grit" confirms what you say.
      But genetics and circumstances can certainly make some decisions a *lot* easier or harder. And, in some cases, neurological damage can make self-regulation in certain regards impossible, but cases like this tends to be neurological not psychological.
      Personally, I think that unless the responsible part of the brain is physically destroyed, I think Reagan's comment's on the Iran-Contra scandal ring true for everyone's wrongdoing: "there are reasons why it happened, but no excuses."

    For those not familiar with this area, the Spahn Ranch sits on the Los Angeles/Ventura County line. The city of Simi Valley sits directly to the west, with the city of Thousand Oaks lying just beyond. In the months leading up to the Tate-La Bianca murders, Charlie and his friends were seen at numerous parties in Simi and T.O. At the time, I was an eight-year-old growing up in T.O., and once the murders made the news, gun sales went through the roof. I also recall my parents deciding that we needed a good fence around the yard then. It was a scary time until Charlie and his accomplices were finally captured out at the Barker Ranch near Death Valley.

I did have a good Mother and a solid foundation as far as she was in my life. I have never commited any crimes, so I guess I have done pretty well.

      @TP-tc7vp Před 6 lety +16

      JanjayTrollface that's a tough subject, actually. Most people who become institutionalized are harmless, but are ill-equipped for return to society, and would rather stay where everything is familiar and regimented and they usually have an established social role; it's risky to leave when you will probably be back but lose you progress and place in prison society.
      Manson wasn't trying to protect the public, he was trying to stay in his little pond; most men who do this should be given the tools to rejoin society and progress. Most aren't psychopaths

That's an endless well of "ifs" and "mights". In an alternate universe people don't sodomize each other and Hitler wasn't racist. Oh and I'm sure there's an alternate universe where Elvis was born to a drug addict mother and raped, cannibalized and killed children, not necessarily in that order. Well meaning, but very shallow comment/joke. And I would love to see an end to the debate whether parallel universes exist, so "surely" you can present your proof to the science community and end this painstaking arguing.

    Love the videos as always! I think you're an excellent host, Simon. Would you ever consider doing a biography on Hunter S. Thompson? Keep it up

    Fairly good generalization. It has the distinction of spending less time on the Family years, especially the murders, and more time on his programming which led up to them. Although multiple forms of media have covered the murders, what is generally accepted as "canon" may be found in Helter Skelter, by Vincent Bugliosi, the prosecuter in the case. The TV adaptation from the 70's leaves out much, also changing the chronological order to compress the story into the time allotted.

    Simon, you should do an episode about Rudolf Hess, he was a high ranking nazi officer and was also known as Hitler's right hand man. I think it would be very interesting :)
