Are Any Of Your Interested/fascinated By Sociopaths?

Here is another video that mentions head injury and other things can cause brain abnormalities.....so things may not necessarily be genetic or born that way.......
There are many of these links on u-tube.....but I saw this one before, too....another interesting take on it....obviously, this person is directing his energy to positive use....

I'm not an expert on much of anything, but from what I read, like- say--the amount of people that will have a bad reaction to vaccinations and even die, the amount of people

that will be involved in stealing from others, the amount that will die in car wrecks, or just about ANY behavior that humans are involved with, can and has been determined to

a high degree. Factual abstracts/records clearly show that, for example, 20 to 30 thousand a year will die on our roads. Some will die( ironically/tragically)To tie this together, it is known/proven that a certain %

of any given(large) population will contain those whose brain lacks key a component that the majority us have that enables/ facilitates the human emotion of empathy.

It appears that those types become the worst of the killing machines, with known precursory factors ,such as animal killing/torturing. These are the ones that can and often do display totally normal- seeming and even charming behavior and are the most difficult to stop. Bundy is perhaps the best example of this. A layman , such as myself simply calls this bad-brain-wiring. You CAN'T SEE THEM for who they are until it may be too late.

It will be interesting, ( and HELPFUL!) if in fact the area of the human brain that causes/allows these murderous aberrations to occur is found and somehow treated.

So-called crimes of passion from jealousy or other reasons may stem from the fact that human emotions, including the urge to end a life/s probably falls on a continuum

of the percentage that kill, that is not so different than the true serial killer, but is lower on the scale. Since we're human, I suppose we all have a certain capacity to kill if

provoked in a way that ignites us enough. These humans are an interesting study for me mainly because regardless of the cause , I don't have to imagine the horrible things people do to one another. It just keeps happening.

I read Ann Rules books (and others) and many of her subjects seem just like the rest of us. Until someone or many someones pay the price.

Sociopaths?? Nothin' to 'em. Just avoid 'em. Psychopaths on the other hand proves that you have to ALWAYS watch out and never give ANYONE the benefit 'of the doubt'.

The "RULES"for personal safety have changed over the years. I've seen it.

There've been studies done about this...I never looked into it completely, it was just a part of a course I took, but the gist of it is that the vast majority of these people experienced abandonment very early in life from their biological mothers and didn't receive the bonding chemical as infants and in those first 3 years of life where empathy and most of our neurological development is developed. Tons of them were in situations where they're parents died before they were born, or during birth or shortly thereafter, they were abused, they were left/physically abandoned or their mother was physically or mentally ill and could not nurture them.

So, I think many of these people don't have parents that could know their children. If they were adopted or had a family member take care of them they were probably already really good at hiding who they were from the world, including their parents. The tricky ways their minds work can fool all kinds of people, unless those people know what to look for. And even then...what do you do with them? There's a lot of information saying once someone is like this they can't be changed.

 

your dealing with a probability disrtribution .. the larger the set is the more seeming anomalies will occur. of course with a large enough set they arent anomalies at all, and are in fact sets themselves that happen to be members of the parent set.

 

This was an interesting read.

Confessions of a Sociopath: A Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight :unsure:



Hotwater

 

someone post some good shit

 

This is a topic of particular interest to me. I used to devour "true crime" books and documentaries. The long and short of it is, no one really knows what "Makes" a serial killer. It traces back the nature vs. nurture debate--but a lot of evidence points to nature, as far as psychopathy. Some studies have found that it is up to 60% heritable. This doesn't mean much, since the best scientific knowledge seems to vacillate with time. My best guess is that it stems from a brain abnormality that produces a lack of empathy and guilt.

 

What is the evidence in nature that points to psychopathy being "up to 60% heritable"? I'm not following how we can say that we do not know what makes a serial killer and then place a figure like that being attributable to nature. Please elaborate...

 

That figure was from twin studies. This sums it up:

I just watched a documentary on columbine that a fellow member on here linked me. I was already familair with the event but wanted to dive a little deeper into it. People say that the two kids who carried the attacks were possibly bullied, and said one had depression. Is that enough to shoot up a school?? I personally don't think so. Hoenstly they looked like normal kids and not the type of kids to get picked on. There must have been something else going on in their brains or something at school possibly. Anyone familair with the columbine shooting?

 

They're really not interesting. They're just stupid idiots. "Oh I jerked off and cut off a head...I'm God...I want a cheeseburger." I don't see what the fascination is.

The truly interesting people in any murder case are the victims. They had ambitions and goals. Unless you're Colombo, I don't think it's healthy to have an interest in murderers.

 

Anyone wanna discuss the columbine school shooting?

 

Disagree with the victims being more interesting than the killers. Totally. Disagree. To. The. Max. They have ambitions and goals? Like what? Finish school and find a good job? Boooring, welcome to the life of 99% people. I don't know how I'm meant to find that interesting, however somebody getting a sick enjoyment out of the dark arts, now you've peaked my interest just a little.

 

I found this good one the other day but cant remember his name. gonna go hunt for the article again and will link when found

 

I don't remember which one I was looking for hehe

 

I remember that... At the time media placed some blame on the influence of music like Marilyn Manson and KMFDM. Also the movie The Matrix was blamed as an influence

 

I find them to be horrible people in general and not quite human. Fascinating ... interesting ... maybe from a psychological standpoint but not really the type of person i'd ever want to meet :/

 

I saw some of the Matrix many many years ago.. I dont remember much. Do you think that movie had any bad influences on people?
