It's clear this person hasn't be targeted by a psychopath. A psychopath can have all their basic needs met, can have people who love them and rationally present them reasons to be kind and loving, and still seek enjoyment by exploiting and destroying others. No, the only hope is genetic and brain manipulation. Only very few and borderline psychopaths would willingly seek behavioral cures. They see us as diseased and they as the superior creature.
I read a comment recently that someone is diagnosed with psychopathy and willing to be better yet knowing there's no cure, he's like that he said because his family was abusive.. he also said if the situation is a positive vibe or something like then he's harmless, I can also see from his words that he is a genuine person, but maybe there are triggers that will make people with psychopathy lose their conscience
It's clear that you don't know what psychopathy is. Psychopaths are just like normal people, there can be good, average, bad... Everything. They can be from surgeons to lawyers. The behaviour you are describing is more of a narcissistic behaviour to exploit others as a fuel of self esteem. That's not even close to psychopathy. The average psychopath (the majority of psychopaths are good, average people, little become bad) will seek out things from someone, and in a friendship/relationship, a trade. Someone gives them something (their friendship, their time, or whatever) and the psychopath will try It's best, although it takes time to gain trust. Most psychopaths the worst they've done is abandon somebody, be mean by not attending social expectations etc. You should reconsider talking about something you don't know about.
@@amiratazkia this just is not always true, in fact it usually is not true, and sounds more like someone with Rama induced behaviors or environmental induced “psychopathy” or sociopathy, although this term is phasing out. At minimum this is a very mild case. However, people BORN with psychopathy, born with the brain changes that causes trauma free psychopathy, the least treatable and worst prognosis with callous unemotional traits (trauma induced is less likely to have CU traits and more likely to have empathy, even if it is subdued), often have an extreme,Eli blunted range of emotions, for example, excitement, boredom, and frustration. Internal emotions usually are not present at all. One way they regulate this constant search to feel, this perpetual boredom, is chasing adrenaline. This is where you get the “it was addicting” from serial killers, why they can’t stop. They become addicted to this rush, as they cannot feel and are constantly under stimulated and dysregulated, with it taking way, way, way more to stimulate them than others. Some also have sadism present, especially lacking empathy, where they receive positive reinforcement from the brain like euphoria from causing harm to others. This leads to adults and children who don’t just treat people well because they “have positive vibes”. They don’t care about “positive vibes” in fact they are typically unable to pick up on vibes at all UNLESS they are environmentally created behaviors, because the brain changes that cause true Psychopathy cannot read emotions, they cannot read situations well. They instead are looking for opportunities to meet their needs or benefit. A “positive vibe” would more likely be a “they seem like their guard is down and they are a non combative person. How can I appeal to them to get _______?”
Good and bad are subjectivity manifest from our own insecurity, not a single person in existence will genuinely think of themselves as a bad person, unless they’re massively depressed and/or suicidal, it compromises a sense of self and important survival mechanisms. There’s simply pro-social and anti-social patterns, behaviors, thoughts, etc. There’s that which damages and that which heals, and everything in between, and one cannot exist without the other. This is where the beauty in life comes from hence why I will never judge a person only the moment in time with which I share with them and their actions in the present.
The main issue I see is a diverse population unable to decide what is *fair*. A GREAT talk on neuroscience. Explained in a simple way that most of us can understand.
Although he says that pychopathy is genetic, he points out that certain areas of the brain (empathy, a conscious) develop based on feedback and input from our surroundings so how is it purely genetic? Our socialisation clearly impacts this
Genes can be switched on or off by enviromental factors, but someone that doesn't have psychopathic genes won't turn into a psychopath no matter the enviroment.
We could implement the brain-stimulating empathy procedures as an alternative to whatever punishments psychopaths would otherwise be receiving if they committed a crime.
Let's put the shoe on the other foot here guy! How would it make you feel if the majority of the planet where Psychopaths and we're planning to alter you for your benefit according to then, without even informing you or asking you for your opinion!

But if most psychopaths came from normal, secure homes as you stated they would have had their basic needs met. And yet they are still violent. So how would meeting needs be an effective solution to their violence?
The ones who have good homes typically become lawyers or ceos a lot of presidents have psychopathic traits in them. Its just the ones that dont are much more prone to crime and violence emotional detachment just means it's easier to do bad things especially in bad situations
@@amiratazkia The government and other higher positions in everyday life are full of narcissists and psychopaths'. The biggest misconception is that they're serial killers.
This talk is an oversimplification. Psychopathy exists on a spectrum. Those high on the spectrum but low in intelligence tend to be the most violent while those lower on the spectrum but high in intelligence are the ones more likely to become lawyers, politicians or CEOs. Being psychopathic doesn't necessarily equal high intelligence (cunning and manipulative perhaps but that's different from intelligence) or a propensity for criminal behavior.

Some excellent points, but if psychopaths are just as likely to come from normal functional backgrounds, I'm not sure his point about a kinder society reducing psychopathy is a rational conclusion.
Psychopathy is genetic but it depends on the nurturing, nurturing that normal people provide to determine if the psychopath will be a good person without emotion or a bad person without emotion, and that's dangerous. But psychopaths, as the majority of them are average, are not dangerous.

Initially it would become 1% smaller then rapidly grow larger as people did not get killed and injured so often, then the community as a whole would exhibit greater levels of altruistic cooperation because it would be safer to trust other people. Over a few generations it would have a profound impact.
Psychopaths don’t do mass shootings. They enjoy risk, but that’s a bit too far, even for them. Plus, there’d be no real reason for them to do one. They do not concern themselves with things outside their own lives. What reason would a psychopath have to do a mass shooting, and risk getting arrested or killed?
Human desires are insatiable, for we are endowed by nature with the desire for evermore, and we are endowed by fortune with the ability to obtain little of what we desire. This creates an unending discontent, and a wariness with what we possess. And so we curse the present, praise the past, and hope in the future, even though we do this with no reasonable motive...
@Carolina Bergström Good for you but a motorcycle accident? That's it?

The first half was informative but smacked of oversimplification of a science that even he admits they don’t fully understand. As for the second half, it shows that an expert in one field can be utterly clueless in another. Utopia is unattainable because there are too many moving parts. The underlying issue is finding a balance between people who think and behave in ways that are deviant and giving them a function in society that allows them to self actualize in a way that does not harm others.
I think psychopathy can be dealt with through "Cosmic Ego"; which leads to the dissolution of the ego, turning the externalizing psychological energy of psychopathy inwards through meditative practices, and through making specific sounds; which are connected to emotions, and making those sounds with others while meditating; which connects the individual to others. I think Eastern philosophy has figured this out. The West went outward/extroversion to make order out of chaos and Cina in the East; which was surrounded by mountains and a wall went inward and had to connect with each other. They have a saying that "even if there is a 1% chance a person can be reached". Psychopathy makes up 1% of the population. They also take in children who have certain signs and help them to develop a relationship with the self; which psychopaths lack. We in the West should scientifically look at this and possibly integrate Eastern philosophy into our society if there is an answer there.
Oh wait so is it that by the eastern philosophy the psycopathic behaviour or symptoms or even signs can be reduced or tackle down? Is there a hope that their cycle will break and also have certain emotions like guilt or empath like normal people?
@@shaaly4072 Yes, in a way. There is a reason why psychopathy is sometimes considered a disorder and sometimes it is not. From what I have seen, the ones who have taken their path towards being balanced, these individuals tend to seem somewhat emotionless on the outside most of the time, but can, have, and do experience them on the inside. They of course will be more logically minded and therefore will approach life through a more logical approach, but not only through logic. Practicing "extreme compassion" while developing during their journey allows them to see and begin to experience normal levels of compassion. I would think that the earlier an individual takes this path, like in childhood, the greater the effect would be. This is why in some areas they look for certain "signs" in children to determine if a child should enter the monastery. I do think someone can take that path later on in life and make considerable progress. The problem that we face in the West is we don't understand this yet fully therefore we don't have a place or places in our societal model for these individuals to fit into or even a set way for them to take to make the kind of progress that they need to. Instead, it's a prison, the streets/organized crime, or them forging "their own" path on their own. The ego is a defense mechanism, and a grand ego is compensating for a lack of a sense of "self"; which the "self " is the thing that connects us. Right now you see China slowly taking in and integrating Western Theology, and the West slowly taking in and integrating Eastern Philosophy. New Age and Vatican 2 is a symptom or manifestation of this. We will eventually get there, but there is still a lot that needs to be worked out.
@Vixinaful Yes, the ventral medial prefrontal cortex and the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex are underdeveloped because of lack of stimulation from the prefrontal occipital lobe; which has low activity. Increasing the activity, through a life of meditative practices, would lead to development in the other parts of the brain.
@@brucebruno842 Well I'll be..So you're telling me it's possible for them to heal somewhat? Is there any research and evidence of this? How much is to expect?

I'm confused wouldn't a brain abnormality be considered a classification for mental disorder? if the Brian is organically unwell how is that not considered mental unwellness? II'm not being adversarial I am genuinely confused
It’s definitely a mental illness. But I guess it’s not treatable with medication which typically defines a mental illness, so instead it’s classified as a personality disorder.
I think only for certain events. I can rememberhow I felt maybe, but most of the time I need music to be able to remembera memory. And I'm also aware of calendar years and dates in my head. I'm have a very good memory for that. But I don't really remember how if bill and past memories nor can I An emotion for the future.
Not all psychopaths are killers. Sociopathy refers to factor 2 psychopathy which is basically anti social personality disorder (aspd). If anything those with aspd (sociopathy) are more likely to be violent and end up in prison whereas those with factor 1 psychopathy (or primary psychopathy) might have none of the antisocial traits and thus be better suited to be CEOs and politicians. At any rate psychopathy exists on a spectrum. Those high on the spectrum (meaning they have many factor 1 as well as factor 2 traits) and low in intelligence are those who are the most violent (this would include serial killers). Those low on the spectrum (mostly factor 1 traits and few to no factor 2 traits) and high in intelligence tend to not commit crime (or at least not violent crimes and would manage to stay away from prison/jail) and have high flying careers.
I would have to disagree. I am diagnosed with Asp d and I would consider myself to be able to imagine. I am a singer-songwriter and a composer. I think that takes imagination to do so creativity. You don't need to be neurotypical to be able to create art. And I'm not self diagnosed. I'm professionally diagnosed with this order so.
Which of the 6,000+ languages should they use for subtitles? Considering youtube is an American company funded mostly by American people, and considering the major language in America is English, and also considering that English is the 3rd most common language, don't you think it would make more sense that people learn English if they are so interested in America's intellectual property?

Can Neuroscience help us eradicate autism? Essentially the same conversation in regards to different brain hardware. Autism has its pros and cons yet they can still live an average life. So does psychopathy on sub-clinical levels.... Not everyone that is violent/kills/sadistic in nature is a psychopath. In regards to serial killers and people doing crimes; Psychopathy is the extreme minority of those individuals. So if somehow neuroscience could eradicate psychopathy there wouldn't be a demand for it to justify the cost.
im a psychopath and i am almost in disbelief by how little is known about my condition to the world. however i have been abused (horribly) so i would not know whether im this way because ive been abused and that this is why i seem to have another type of psychopathy than psychopaths who have been documented.
Have you seen the episode on sociopathy or psychopathy from "special kids" on RUclips? It's a child with a huge amount of psychological insight. I hope it helps you.
I can't see why, humans evolved in the natural world when killing for food was normal and in fact the only way to survive. We obviously have the mechanisms to live happy productive lives in a world where we eat animals otherwise we would have died of hunger as a species. Do not confuse your 21st century learned moral views with our natural ''morals'' like empathy, reciprocity and other social behaviors that are encoded in most modern primates. These ''natural morals'' are the one the ones essential for humans. Studies even show that people who think killing animals for food is wrong tend to have worse mental health, presumably because they have created a fake moral paradigm for themselves that adds frustration and stress.
I think aggressive behaviours are made and not natural or born.Some mental disorders are due to difficulties during birth and others are due to social , war and terrorist attacks everywhere .
feel like i'm listening to an unrealistic utopian talk. 'cure' psychopath, empathy is good, etc. it's all one sided arguments. not saying that it's all wrong though.
What constitutes an intact childhood? No official reports by teachers? No calls to CPS? No step parents? Did the scientists who collected this data consider that emotional abuse or neglect can be insidious, intangible, and rarely reported on or noted by outsiders?

JAMES KRAMER Its not only about knowing the languange.I have relatively good knowledge on English and I can translate them to My languange(greek) easy.But putting subtitles in a video is so goddamn hard.Its really hard to sychronize them in the right second
Good talk but empathy training is kind of a ridiculous thing to bring up here. And sure we need to understand psychopathy and attempt to treat it but doing so on such a large scale would be impossible. Sure we all need to live in a nice world and Maslow's hierarchy of needs is understood but these are not solutions. Over time I would think there'd be a technological solve here
I like this speeches but I do not understand all this vídeo must be in other languages not only in english due to this words are essential for help other peoples .I think that is not bad idea improve the part of the subtitles
If psychopacy is not classified as mental illness why are we talking about “curing“ them? Don't get me wrong, I think we should talk about them as mentally ill
The real question is if a psychopath harmed or killed someone you love and then underwent this procedure, would you allow him or her to live their life without punishment?
I think the matter of punishment would be a grey area and would have very little to do with a victim or their family. If this procedure worked and the killer is now empathetic and perhaps develops ptsd or panic attacks or are in constant fear of their lives because they've commited severe crimes, then imo they are no better off. And then he mentioned a 'cooperative culture' but today's culture is anything but cooperative unless forced by law.
I agree that they don't deserve punishment, but I don't believe that the average person would be okay with no punishment for the murder or harm of his or her loved one. How would we go about changing people's minds about punishment.
Two-Face Then you are taking years away from a non-psychopathic person's life for something a psychopath did. Is it fair for the non-psychopath they become to have years taken away from their life for no fault of their own?
Interesting talk. Two criticisms: 1. "We scapegoat the mentally ill after mass shootings". I'm sorry, do you not consider psychopaths mentally ill? "This shooting was due to mental illness" isn't the same as "this shooting was caused by _all_ mental illnesses". 2. What was with the weird Utopian collectivism tangent at the end? That really came out of nowhere. "Let's put in the hurculean and economically impossible effort required to restructure our whole society so that the worst 1% of the human population won't feel the urge to brutally murder people" is not a great argument. Let's try those other solutions to this problem first, yeah? Seriously, if you don't think gene therapy will be a reachable option for a while, what in god's name makes you think _guaranteed food, water, and housing for all_ will be a workable option? What an absurd conclusion to come to.
Endwar1997 - one number 1., I agree with you. Psychopathy is definitely a mental illness and not a personality disorder. We have a hard time not dehumanizing psychopaths because they can do so much harm. On 2., I have no idea what you're trying to say.
point 2 is interesting though. Are there fewer instances of psychopaths committing heinous crimes in countries with much higher standards of living? Eg - good social welfare system, high-level easy access education, free at access health care, an abundance of affordable food and housing etc?
yup, there are. check out out the crime stats for places like Iceland, Norway, Bhutan and Denmark in comparison to the USA! Interesting stuff @Eat Travel Rave Repeat
Humans are selfish in nature, on a fundamental level. That's how evolution works. People are empathetic because a group of empathetic people out performs a group of non empathetic people.
You said "humans would rather live than die". The armed forces where people are willing to sacrifice their lives for others negates that...same for the police and firefighters...there are loads of jobs that are high risk....all male jobs you might have noticed.
And we can easily explain it : It's a human science and not a science of nature. A clinician psychologist is studying under the circomstance of psychotherapy and the object of his research is the psychic fonctionning under these circomstances. It's simply not the same object of research.
He talked about his son who exhibits aggressive behaviour and the need to put discipline in place to counteract it. This begs the question why the kid is exhibiting aggressive behaviour in the first place. Choi thinks this aggressive behaviour is natural...it is if you grow up in a dysfunctional home with dysfunctional parents.
Sibling rivalry often exists in homes where parental love is lacking. Because there is not enough love in the home the siblings fight each other for the attention and love that is in short supply.
Maybe you should rewatch the video. Everyone is violent but we repress those urges either actively or subconsciously. We start to learn this as toddlers, which is so true but you probably don't have kids.
Brother Delphi, seriously dude, you need to shut-up already! You come across as a half-wit! The doctor isn't saying that he treats people like objects, psychopaths treat people like objects! Have you ever had anything to do with psychopaths? I have! And they treat people like objects! They are strange creatures to interact with. I'm highly empathic, so the concept of having no empathy is totally weird to me.
As an intelligent person, I know that until the 64 doses of mercury and aluminum which is forced on our children, are taken into account, you are ignoring the most important variable.

Oh wait so is it that by the eastern philosophy the psycopathic behaviour or symptoms or even signs can be reduced or tackle down? Is there a hope that their cycle will break and also have certain emotions like guilt or empath like normal people?
@@shaaly4072 Yes, in a way. There is a reason why psychopathy is sometimes considered a disorder and sometimes it is not. From what I have seen, the ones who have taken their path towards being balanced, these individuals tend to seem somewhat emotionless on the outside most of the time, but can, have, and do experience them on the inside. They of course will be more logically minded and therefore will approach life through a more logical approach, but not only through logic. Practicing "extreme compassion" while developing during their journey allows them to see and begin to experience normal levels of compassion. I would think that the earlier an individual takes this path, like in childhood, the greater the effect would be. This is why in some areas they look for certain "signs" in children to determine if a child should enter the monastery. I do think someone can take that path later on in life and make considerable progress. The problem that we face in the West is we don't understand this yet fully therefore we don't have a place or places in our societal model for these individuals to fit into or even a set way for them to take to make the kind of progress that they need to. Instead, it's a prison, the streets/organized crime, or them forging "their own" path on their own. The ego is a defense mechanism, and a grand ego is compensating for a lack of a sense of "self"; which the "self " is the thing that connects us. Right now you see China slowly taking in and integrating Western Theology, and the West slowly taking in and integrating Eastern Philosophy. New Age and Vatican 2 is a symptom or manifestation of this. We will eventually get there, but there is still a lot that needs to be worked out.
You think brain damages can be meditated away? 😂 Thats like trying to fix a computers hardware by changing the software.
@Vixinaful Yes, the ventral medial prefrontal cortex and the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex are underdeveloped because of lack of stimulation from the prefrontal occipital lobe; which has low activity. Increasing the activity, through a life of meditative practices, would lead to development in the other parts of the brain.
@@brucebruno842 Well I'll be..So you're telling me it's possible for them to heal somewhat? Is there any research and evidence of this? How much is to expect? How do you see the conection trauma/psychopathy/narcissism and borderline? Some say these conditions are due to traumas that shut of their brains. Do you believe so from your knowledge? fascinating things, isnt it? Since our other organs have the capacity of healing, as should the brain. I really want to have hope for them.
Holy moly this is crazy cool but really really scary lol. Anxiety kicking in
I'm confused wouldn't a brain abnormality be considered a classification for mental disorder? if the Brian is organically unwell how is that not considered mental unwellness? II'm not being adversarial I am genuinely confused
It’s definitely a mental illness. But I guess it’s not treatable with medication which typically defines a mental illness, so instead it’s classified as a personality disorder.
I think only for certain events. I can rememberhow I felt maybe, but most of the time I need music to be able to remembera memory. And I'm also aware of calendar years and dates in my head. I'm have a very good memory for that. But I don't really remember how if bill and past memories nor can I An emotion for the future.
Is he only addressing known psychopaths, i.e killers; not sociopaths which tend to be CEOs, politicians, celebrities?
Not all psychopaths are killers. Sociopathy refers to factor 2 psychopathy which is basically anti social personality disorder (aspd). If anything those with aspd (sociopathy) are more likely to be violent and end up in prison whereas those with factor 1 psychopathy (or primary psychopathy) might have none of the antisocial traits and thus be better suited to be CEOs and politicians. At any rate psychopathy exists on a spectrum. Those high on the spectrum (meaning they have many factor 1 as well as factor 2 traits) and low in intelligence are those who are the most violent (this would include serial killers). Those low on the spectrum (mostly factor 1 traits and few to no factor 2 traits) and high in intelligence tend to not commit crime (or at least not violent crimes and would manage to stay away from prison/jail) and have high flying careers.
I would have to disagree. I am diagnosed with Asp d and I would consider myself to be able to imagine. I am a singer-songwriter and a composer. I think that takes imagination to do so creativity. You don't need to be neurotypical to be able to create art. And I'm not self diagnosed. I'm professionally diagnosed with this order so.
Isnt ASPD sociopath?
They should subtitle the content of their videos ... it's very good, but not everyone speaks or understands the English language.
Which of the 6,000+ languages should they use for subtitles? Considering youtube is an American company funded mostly by American people, and considering the major language in America is English, and also considering that English is the 3rd most common language, don't you think it would make more sense that people learn English if they are so interested in America's intellectual property?
Dh nlghtnd 1 Personally I haven't problem with the harsh language, it was only a suggestion! thanks ...
His numbers doesnt add up. This peoblem isnt 1%, its HUGE, not to mention narcissism and borderline, all damages of the profrontal cortrex and the damages are extreme. Its a super common problem.

Can Neuroscience help us eradicate autism? Essentially the same conversation in regards to different brain hardware. Autism has its pros and cons yet they can still live an average life. So does psychopathy on sub-clinical levels.... Not everyone that is violent/kills/sadistic in nature is a psychopath. In regards to serial killers and people doing crimes; Psychopathy is the extreme minority of those individuals. So if somehow neuroscience could eradicate psychopathy there wouldn't be a demand for it to justify the cost.
Please listen to his numbers again. Repeat offenders
im a psychopath and i am almost in disbelief by how little is known about my condition to the world. however i have been abused (horribly) so i would not know whether im this way because ive been abused and that this is why i seem to have another type of psychopathy than psychopaths who have been documented.
Have you seen the episode on sociopathy or psychopathy from "special kids" on RUclips? It's a child with a huge amount of psychological insight. I hope it helps you.
Went from interesting to fascist bollocks
...but it can also have to do with my five years of living with a psychopath at the time of the accident. Anyway, I love being fearless.
@Carolina Bergström Same here. Also, I apologize for my previous comment. No offense taken.
Killing billions animals for food creates a violent and very unkind world.
slinkyboo Lame and clunky attempt to slip in your libtard views
Not killing billions animals for food is a 'libtard' view? It's a non-violent way of life. Simple and clean.
I can't see why, humans evolved in the natural world when killing for food was normal and in fact the only way to survive.
We obviously have the mechanisms to live happy productive lives in a world where we eat animals otherwise we would have died of hunger as a species.
Do not confuse your 21st century learned moral views with our natural ''morals'' like empathy, reciprocity and other social behaviors that are encoded in most modern primates. These ''natural morals'' are the one the ones essential for humans. Studies even show that people who think killing animals for food is wrong tend to have worse mental health, presumably because they have created a fake moral paradigm for themselves that adds frustration and stress.
@@oifexconsequences.
Great!!!!
I think aggressive behaviours are made and not natural or born.Some mental disorders are due to difficulties during birth and others are due to social , war and terrorist attacks everywhere .
feel like i'm listening to an unrealistic utopian talk.
'cure' psychopath, empathy is good, etc. it's all one sided arguments.
not saying that it's all wrong though.
what would you wanna say for another side of the argument?
What constitutes an intact childhood? No official reports by teachers? No calls to CPS? No step parents?
Did the scientists who collected this data consider that emotional abuse or neglect can be insidious, intangible, and rarely reported on or noted by outsiders?
He lost credibility when he failed to elaborate on this. “Intact background.” Like what??? Not poor, parents still married??? What do you mean?
No need of a video. The answer is Yes. Next.
Subtitles in spanish, please
JAMES KRAMER Its not only about knowing the languange.I have relatively good knowledge on English and I can translate them to My languange(greek) easy.But putting subtitles in a video is so goddamn hard.Its really hard to sychronize them in the right second
Nicely done, Tavi!
nice
ok your name is beautiful... OCTAVIO!
a wonderful talk!!
There's any chance we have some subtitles? Mainly in portuguese, please.
Duvido
why do we need to eradicate psychopathy? does everyone need to be the same, a milquetoast normie?
WOW.
the Media Also Plys a Role
Good talk but empathy training is kind of a ridiculous thing to bring up here. And sure we need to understand psychopathy and attempt to treat it but doing so on such a large scale would be impossible. Sure we all need to live in a nice world and Maslow's hierarchy of needs is understood but these are not solutions. Over time I would think there'd be a technological solve here
W.
I like this speeches but I do not understand all this vídeo must be in other languages not only in english due to this words are essential for help other peoples .I think that is not bad idea improve the part of the subtitles
I'm worried I have this. I hate it. I know I've done bad things.
If psychopacy is not classified as mental illness why are we talking about “curing“ them? Don't get me wrong, I think we should talk about them as mentally ill
Is ADHD a mental illness? Many would say no. Does it make sense to talk about a "cure" for baldness? Well, we do anyway.
Suvi-Tuuli Allan ok that actually makes sense

This is when a psychopath goes out of control if a psychopath could blow up the world right now they would
Why would they do that?
@@JDdr86 why are you asking such naive questions?
❤👍
Ask James Fallon...Psychopathy is a matter of brain structure and function.
The real question is if a psychopath harmed or killed someone you love and then underwent this procedure, would you allow him or her to live their life without punishment?
I think the matter of punishment would be a grey area and would have very little to do with a victim or their family. If this procedure worked and the killer is now empathetic and perhaps develops ptsd or panic attacks or are in constant fear of their lives because they've commited severe crimes, then imo they are no better off. And then he mentioned a 'cooperative culture' but today's culture is anything but cooperative unless forced by law.
I agree that they don't deserve punishment, but I don't believe that the average person would be okay with no punishment for the murder or harm of his or her loved one. How would we go about changing people's minds about punishment.
sexyloser I say they serve their sentence and then have the procedure once they finished with the sentence
Two-Face
Then you are taking years away from a non-psychopathic person's life for something a psychopath did. Is it fair for the non-psychopath they become to have years taken away from their life for no fault of their own?
There isn't culture but civilization
This man has a very shiny face but that is okay
Interesting talk. Two criticisms:
1. "We scapegoat the mentally ill after mass shootings". I'm sorry, do you not consider psychopaths mentally ill? "This shooting was due to mental illness" isn't the same as "this shooting was caused by _all_ mental illnesses".
2. What was with the weird Utopian collectivism tangent at the end? That really came out of nowhere. "Let's put in the hurculean and economically impossible effort required to restructure our whole society so that the worst 1% of the human population won't feel the urge to brutally murder people" is not a great argument. Let's try those other solutions to this problem first, yeah? Seriously, if you don't think gene therapy will be a reachable option for a while, what in god's name makes you think _guaranteed food, water, and housing for all_ will be a workable option? What an absurd conclusion to come to.
Endwar1997 - one number 1., I agree with you. Psychopathy is definitely a mental illness and not a personality disorder. We have a hard time not dehumanizing psychopaths because they can do so much harm.
On 2., I have no idea what you're trying to say.
point 2 is interesting though. Are there fewer instances of psychopaths committing heinous crimes in countries with much higher standards of living? Eg - good social welfare system, high-level easy access education, free at access health care, an abundance of affordable food and housing etc?
yup, there are. check out out the crime stats for places like Iceland, Norway, Bhutan and Denmark in comparison to the USA! Interesting stuff @Eat Travel Rave Repeat
Hol Yeah Norway has the biggest mass shooting ever
Eat Travel Rave Repeat - that's a great question.
Bollocks!
Can't this guy just stand still while talking ? Or walk around instead of just like swinging ? FFS... What is he trying to hypnotize us ? LoL .....
I wonder what the leftist take on this is
🎀
He said living in large groups helps us protect ourselves from predators and get resources. This views human as selfish in nature; Hobbesian.
then please explain the Armed forces.
Can you phase that as a question?
Armed force is for "protection" of countries and they resources, because the people of this countries can't live without o dont know, FOOD
Humans are selfish in nature, on a fundamental level. That's how evolution works. People are empathetic because a group of empathetic people out performs a group of non empathetic people.
You said "humans would rather live than die". The armed forces where people are willing to sacrifice their lives for others negates that...same for the police and firefighters...there are loads of jobs that are high risk....all male jobs you might have noticed.
Wow. As a Psychologist, I don't agree with him
Curious, what don't you agree about?
Psychology is the only "science" that doesn't directly study the organ they're trying to help. I prefer listening to a neuroscientist
Dingngheta Khiangte - what don't you agree with, specifically?
KrazyKing13 yes it does 😂
And we can easily explain it : It's a human science and not a science of nature. A clinician psychologist is studying under the circomstance of psychotherapy and the object of his research is the psychic fonctionning under these circomstances. It's simply not the same object of research.
He talked about his son who exhibits aggressive behaviour and the need to put discipline in place to counteract it. This begs the question why the kid is exhibiting aggressive behaviour in the first place. Choi thinks this aggressive behaviour is natural...it is if you grow up in a dysfunctional home with dysfunctional parents.

Brother Delphi you don't have children do you? You've heard of sibling rivalry, right!?
Sibling rivalry often exists in homes where parental love is lacking. Because there is not enough love in the home the siblings fight each other for the attention and love that is in short supply.
Maybe you should rewatch the video. Everyone is violent but we repress those urges either actively or subconsciously. We start to learn this as toddlers, which is so true but you probably don't have kids.
He said "if you can't feel what other people are feeling then you treat them like objects" This bloke is dangerous!!!
Brother Delphi - I think you are confused.
i think you are gullible
Brother Delphi, seriously dude, you need to shut-up already! You come across as a half-wit! The doctor isn't saying that he treats people like objects, psychopaths treat people like objects! Have you ever had anything to do with psychopaths? I have! And they treat people like objects! They are strange creatures to interact with. I'm highly empathic, so the concept of having no empathy is totally weird to me.
Your opening line is "you need to shut-up already!" which leads me to think of you as a bully.
