Why are 'muricans so affraid of psychopaths? I've been diagnosed witch antisocial PD 8 years ago, and nobody gives a fuck here in Europe. Nobody is affraid of me. And that's cool, cuz it doesn't give me a feeling I need to cheat and control people. Common kindness is a powerful thing.
Ah yes, “pay me to approve your humanity” Genius…you know, hardware ID’s exists. Cookies. IP. Etc Aren’t a lot of CEO’s psychopathic? Because they don’t consider humanity when making cold calculations for the most money?
The people who enjoy in the sufferings of others rarely admit it. Instead, they will justify their right to abuse you, often through projecting their behavior
@johnathonhuson8734 Eh, that what you described sounds more like a s**ual sadistic person. Unless they are a s**ual sadist AND narcissist. Then they will sometimes straight-up and proudly admit to it. Because they WANT that recognition. Because they WANT those individuals eyes on THEM.
Sadism and psychopathy are two different things. Sadism is the enjoyment of inflicting pain. Psychopathy is not having empathy. Psychopathy does not necessarily make you a bad person. Some psychopaths are law abiding people - they don’t break the law or hurt people but it is because they are aware it is unlawful as opposed to empathizing with a potential victim. The disorganized psychopath is often embroiled in the criminal justice system because they cannot plan ahead and are willing to hurt others to get to whatever desired result that they want to get to but are incapable of planning how to get there without hurting people. The disorganized psychopath does not necessarily “enjoy” inflicting harm, they just don’t care about whether they do or not to achieve whatever result they want to achieve.
@@gary_beniford no, because comedy can’t be sadistic. The person telling the joke could be, but the intent of comedy is the exact opposite of the intent of sadism. The reason jokes are funny is because we can empathize with the joke teller, often the humour comes from disbelief, the joke is funny because of how far away from truth it is.
@@jdunn501 you don’t need to be a psychopath to be devoid of empathy. You simply need to rank high on the narcissism spectrum. I am acutely aware of the dark tetrad, but some of those behaviour traits spill over between pillars. I think what you’re describing is the difference between a sociopath, and a psychopath. The sociopath is the unaware narcissist who is so disorganized they rob the convenience store before they realize it can get them arrested. The other side of this argument is there are no psychopaths that aren’t narcissistic as well. Check out professor Sam vaknin, Richard grannon, ramani durvasala. Vaknin is a clinician and a certified psychopath which encompasses your point. He’s used his psychopathy for success and is aware enough to restrain any dark tendencies, at least so it would seem.
Psychopaths aren't evil. They just literally don't care. Simple as; in all aspects. They truly do not actually care about anyone; parents, lovers, siblings, etc, but they can care for the things these people provide for them. They can appreciate the entertainment and companionship a friend provides, the support and guidance of a mother, the intimacy a mate brings, etc. Psychopaths won't care about your wedding, graduation, childbirth, their own wedding, but they instinctively know to fake caring because when you pretend to care, you are rewarded. They biologically, instinctively do not care about other humans as a default. Nature has created these people to act as basic, simple human weapons who can do what benefits the group without being shackled by "how does this make him feel?" Some psychopaths are so effective at faking their emotions and empathy, that they can specifically use what they know hurts a person to more efficiently inflict damage. Generally, this is why you shouldn't mess with random people, because eventually you get a 1% chance occurrence with someone who could (and happily would) crucify you with the same casualness as buying groceries if they thought they could get away with it. Treat every random person as if they could be one; youll live longer.
Psychopaths are rare. Sociopath's are a dime a dozen. I wouldn't be as paranoid as you are with people. People in general are not important. I'm not important either. I care greatly for animals but humans being around them and the behavior I gave up a while back. It's too stressful and way too much drama.
@@Suzanne-t3l The whole 'animals are innocent but humans are too hard to deal with' thing isn't a great point at all, just an idle cowardly cop-out. Sure, animals you can control are so much 'nicer' to you than people you can't, and that makes me wonder where you fall on the sociopathy specturm.
It's once you all start to implement your plans that you lose peripheral vision and display impulsiveness, like when a shark bites and it's eyes roll back
That is the ideal, but it is not realistic, even if you are a saint (although saints have a lot more capacity to no idolize or worship anybody). Therefore, since everyone, to various degrees, is going to be idolizing others, it is wise to practice discernment in whom you idolize and don't idolize. Idolize/worship is the extreme of "follow/subscribe/give attention to" but still the same thing on a core level
If they're stupid, yeah ... There are numerous examples of intelligent ones that did go undiscovered for a very long time. I think you may spot narcissists and sociopaths more easily, for they cannot control themselves, which is precisely opposite of what's significant for a psychopath. There are also high-functioning ones that do not have the need to hurt others, they're low in "sadism", and going off track is detrimental to themselves, therefore the most egoistic thing is obviously to ignore dealing with any unnecessary vengeance. However, I do agree with the difficulties in accepting your interpretation of a person, and people are often very complex.
Peterson says that people act worst when they are anonymous, but when you can identify the person behind the words, they have a higher propensity to just lie to your face. How is lying not worse than anonymity? I think anonymity brings more honesty even if it can get dark and ruthless at times.
Not necessarily, not unless you are able to learn the way that the psychopath interprets his or her own sense of accountability, which is the mark of the psychopath, that there is some known or unknown pathology when it comes to the morality of expressing their emotions. If you hold a psychopath accountable according to, just some rules, you will only perpetuate, or even could strengthen, the pathology.
The worst ones are the ones in banks, corporations and governments. And he’s worried about trolls in the internet. That are composed of broken people. And some are psychopath. It could be demonizing political dissidents
Jordan is saying it is the trolls who express their psychopathy publicly in anonymity. It is also Jordan’s contention is leadership is mired in psychopathy. It is these persons who successfully veil their true nature. True leadership requires a metaphorically shepherd approach. But shepherds are the lowest forms of a western democratic caste system. 13:49
@@EvilMAiq Jeffrey Epstein, Gilles de Rais ,Mussolini, Bernie Madoff, etc. and let’s not forget puff Daddy. And you don’t want to even look into the people behind Puff Daddy and Jeffrey Epstein.
He’s very worried about internet trolls because they are exposing the Jews. He never talked about this stuff until people on twitter started exposing them
Anonymity is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, according to Thomas Sowell, "There are only two ways of telling the complete truth - anonymously and posthumously."
I have ADHD, so an impulsive frontal lobe is what I have in common with a psychopath. So that can land me in bad situations because I jump right into them at times. And many years ago I asked a psychologist : "How can I spot that? How do I not see that?" and he said the same: "you can't know in the beginning. All you have is time. It takes time to know people." I never forgot that. I am still who I am, so I could not do that just as instructed. But I never forgot it and over the years I build a safety net that made me independent that I can bounce back on in case I made the wrong the decision again. In fact I did. It was more like when I leveled up, so I met more people with better skills at evil and deception. People with ADHD are more likely to be trusting and helpful (when they are not emotionally psychopathic/sociopathic) that is why they are much more likely ending up in abusive relationships. Because they have energetic commonalities with bad people basically. So it needs special skills for people with ADHD to construct a safe life. A certain immaturity that just never goes away and that's fine. I actually think young people could profit a lot from what successful people with ADHD because they often went through the experience of being exploited. So they know the ins and outs of how to spot signs of bad behavior. One thing is too: in the beginning usually people try to show their best behavior. So most of the time if a person shows some oddity right from the start: it's like the tip of the iceberg. There is really more to it. Whether they have a bad day or it's deeply routed in their personality is another question.
ADHD isn't real. It's just what lazy, pleasure-addicts tell themselves to excuse their failure. Source: Me - I used to be one of the diagnosed ADHD crew. I dropped the label and sorted my life out. Try it
Psychopaths are goal oriented...even if their goals are illegal and horrific...the end is the goal...which cares nothing for the feelings of others, other than from a manipulative point of view...infliction of pain is the goal of sociopaths...who are not Psychopaths.
You never want to cross paths with a true psychopath with harmful intent. Im on the spectrum and I believe as a consequence I notice neurodivergent individuals and those with personality disorders, acutely. For some reason I am sensitive to them, I can ALWAYS spot a psychopath almost immediately. There are hosts of verbal, behavioral, and emotional tells, there is still research being done on this topic. I can't tell you how or why I am able to identify them but I think it has to do with my inability to identify with certain emotions or a deficit of some social aptitudes as a person in the spectrum. Also they, to me, are the antithesis of my identity, so it's fight or flight when I see them or get the tells.
@dblockbass I am right there with you, bro. I get this feeling with certain people, like the scenes in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy where he knows something bad is about to go down, and I get that same feeling. Now, as I am on the spectrum myself, I always have hated making and maintaining eye contact with anyone, to the point where If I've been on a date with a girl (usually second date), I will tell them straight up that I don't like making eye contact because it just makes me feel uncomfortable. Then, that feeling is magnetized when I make eye contact with someone I think might be trying to play me or has that "psychopath stare". So, that's how I knew I was not a Psycho or Sociopath nor a narcissist.
There's a kind of simplicity to it, but it's oddly abstracted and difficult to pin to words. I'd surmise neurodivergence alters, to some if not an incredible degree, the processing of environmental factors and interaction in such a way that particular abstractions stand out over on-the-surface behaviors. Likewise, some people also innately have a sense of a psychopath for other reasons which may be as a result of genetic predisposition... or something. It's interesting to see how people interact with the encounters nonetheless, whether clueless or curious, especially scared but unable to explain why. How they solve these issues are so various that it always presents more information for recreational study.
4:47 Peterson is making a big mistake here. He doesn't realize the power he's giving to governments by taking this approach with anonymous accounts. In Argentina, Javier Milei won the elections thanks to social media. The opposition used the full machinery of the state to go against him in traditional media, and they also tried to pass a mandatory national digital labeling law. From Argentina, I can tell you one thing: we escaped tyranny thanks to Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter and how it's currently run. Peterson needs to understand this.
People going down the rabbit hole are looking for answers. Their “paranoia” is their brain trying to process the information into coherent reasoning. It can lead to weird places lol. But he’s right, the tip-toe approach only exacerbates the confusion. It’s about “answers”, remember? Not everyone finds answers. Some get stuck in a loop. If this happens, reverse course. Find last off-ramp and try again. Etc.
It should be obvious to people that Jordan Peterson has serious cognitive dissonance about this topic (or holds a hidden agenda). He claims he's against censorship and loves the expression of ideas, that he doesn't think people should be "cancelled" for expressing them; so long as they are ideas he determines to be acceptable. However, if he thinks the ideas are "dangerous" or are too taboo to be discussed or lend credibility towards, watch how he suddenly wants people to be thrust into the spotlight for all to see and ridicule. It's completely antithetical to what he claims he stands for. Ironically, he fails to see how totalitarian that line of thinking is: to reduce the possible avenues people have to discuss or expose potentially life-shattering ideas and opinions, free from wrongful persecution if said ideas are in fact credible. It's akin to the KGB having your neighbours inform them of any wrong-think, except in this scenario he has replaced the infallible regime of the Soviet Union with his own opinion and mob rule; a mob influenced by innumerate biases, social conformity and a myriad of other cognitive influences that often serve as road blocks in pursuit of truth; a mob whose primary focus is to preserve the status-quo and the internal world-view of all those apart of it.
@@Battlefox64_RL Yes it is a choice to let the callous of cynism and sadism continue to develop. However, being a physcopath is a disorder one is born with.
@@Battlefox64_RL worms in human shape behave cynical or sadistic until they try same medicine on a psychopath. Then they meet a new feeling called regret.
Hmmm that’s a difficult generalisation, at the point at which psychopathy is predominantly conditioned due to habit, you might argue they have no choice, but realistically it’s more accurate to say they have weakened capability towards the alternative choice. However, in the timeline of successive and compounding psychopathic behaviours, they have choice relative to this.
@@strayo3495 how does one decide to decide to not be cynical and a sadist? This is actually the most interesting question on free will and not limited just to your question on cynicism etc.....I mean how does the inspiration come about to do anything? It seems less like a rational man inside our head controlling all the levers and gears and more like chaotic, spontaneous inspiration. Sapolsky and even alan watts going back further spoke about this in interesting ways.
There's a woman in Vietnam murdered 3 of her family members: dad, brother and nephew(brother's son). She did that by using kali cyanite. She said she didn't like them whom she killed. Pretty normal 40s woman, quite beautiful in general. If that's not a psychopath, idk what is.
I would regard myself having reasonable intelligence and in the past quite liked some of Jordan's work. However I find more and more that he seems to be saying a whole heap of word salad which doesn't mean much to me at least.
He went from a professor yapper to an influencer yapper. Now he’s like all other alt media (destiny, hasan, ben shapiro), they all just try to manipulate truth to feed narratives to their audiences, because it’s their incentive, their money.
I often critisized JP for this in the past but in this case I disagree I think the title of the video is just inappropriately setting up viewer expectation
His schtick became tiring after he got more into pushing his religion into his observations. he was correct about what initially made him famous (pronoun fiasco), but now has become a past fad with his cutesy quips... "make your own bed first man"....
...but I do believe they all have the propensity for it. There is something about the ability of narcissistic people, to lie and keep a lie going at all cost...and it's that 'All cost' that makes anything possible.
@@mov1ngforward You don’t really think that do you? Tucker exposes truth selectively while avoiding other truths. The best way to sell a lie is to mix some truth in. Remember when Tucker got taken to court for what he said on air? Remember what his defense team argued on his behalf?
These behaviors need to be integrated, not outright rejected. And used for a noble purpose. To protect yourself and those that need protecting. The integration of those “negative” aspects is a difficult road, but a necessary one. Negative or positive based on the application of the behavior
I identified a psychopath in AA. This guy, Ron, was pulling a Charles Manson, he had a harem of vulnerable girls who worshipped him and I'm pretty sure he was giving them LSD because they acted f*cked. He also said something word for word that I had said at a previous meeting and then smirked at me. My friend was telling me one day that Ron helped him into his apartment when he lost his keys (Ron is a locksmith). I said, "Don't be friends with him, he's a psychopath." He didn't believe me. A week later he came up to me looking traumatized. He said, "you were right about Ron." So Henry, my friend, went up to Ron and said, "(me) thinks you're a psychopath, haha!" The next day he woke up with Ron standing over his bed. When Henry screamed Ron just smiled and nonchalantly walked out. Ron started terrorizing all my friends because he perceived I'm protective of vulnerable people. They are perceptive little c*nts. Everyone should watch "Funny Games." It's about psychopaths and how they like to toy with people.
That's not a psychopath, that's a sociopath. Psychopath don't do that shit, they don't care, psychopaths are dangerous only when you get in their way. They don't seek out trouble, they just don't care about rules or other people. Sociopaths enjoy and seek out the manipulation of others, that's what they do.
@@Gnaritas42 Then who decide what is the line between being a psychopath, sociopath or not? because everyone will do the behavior you just describe but at different levels.
Just wanted to highlight the incredibly good point that paranoid types spiral, b/c if you are so touchy or distrusting, eventually everyone is walking on eggshells (thus really hiding their true selves, for protection), thus validating the paranoid's assumption that they always were. This can get bad enough the latter hurt someone and get in trouble with the law, further validating that "the world is out to get them"...b/c literally, there is an arrest warrant out for them
while all psychopaths may prefer to be annonymous, not all who prefer anonymity are psychopathic. don't dismiss all those who have good valid things to say just because they prefer to be anonymous.
I don't even think the first is true. Having social standing can be a great shield, can allow you to get away with things some poor anonymous nobody couldn't even dream of.
if you just be yourself and act the way you would in person then this is just another public place where total strangers find common ground enough to interact and engage eachother. people that can't do this in person or online are not comfortable with themselves and needed better social skills taught as a child.
I borderline fetishize revenge. The way some people feel about sexual fantasies or desires that’s how I get at times about enacting revenge and I’m talking people who screwed me over when I was seven and eight years old and I’m 35 at this point.
I encourage you to ask God to help you, to deliver you from that trap. I know someone personally who’s been like that for years and it only gets worse! It now consumes him. There’s nothing good in it for you. It will devour you until there’s nothing else left.

No Lex I've been to multiple psychotherapists and 2 diagnosed me with BPD and one suggested testing for MPD but none diagnosed me with psychopathology. You can't diagnose someone over the internet you need to have a relationship with the patient.
That’s intrinsic to babies, and where humor comes from. That’s unfortunate, not misfortune. There’s a difference between seeking out videos of gore or su!cides online vs epic fail compilations. Or bullying someone online until they’re deleting their accounts and social media presence vs simple teenage trolling.
Don’t compare the two…people on the internet are looking for a quick laugh something to while away their time…what would be concerning is if someone ignores an accident happening right in front of them
He has these fixed ideas sometimes and doesn't get off them. He can be extremely dogmatic in that sense, disregarding the individual. Of course one can track anyone online, whether they are acting under real names or false ones.
You know them by how much they love to hear themselves speak, their desire for attention and power and their anachronistic use of words like, "bloody".
@backabeyond LOL Jordan is far from a sociopath or psychopath, maybe a little self-serving and narcissistic, but everyone at some point and age gets these moments of narcissism. SO, in some ways, Lex is right in that most have a small to large proportional chance of being a narcissist or s**ual sadist who gets off on tormenting others for their own physical or mental pleasure.
4:10 If someone laughs at someone else's suffering, you clearly are dealing with a seriously disturbed individual. Not a psychopath though, psychopaths, you can usually tell because they are extremely boring. Often they will show up as unemotional and boring, but with some charm. It's the only way to tell, otherwise look at the actions, if they are generally reckless or do anti-social behavior. It's not that difficult, but people simply refuse to see the evidence usually. They want to see rictus in the face, like in an Hollywood movie where you know it's the bad guy. It's a sign of bad, but you will miss psychopaths.
sparki: full blown narcissistic personality disorder, still 20y later probably still thinks can’t have anything nice & people should be nice to her. She was oddly in the news as a bartender in Breckinridge during the Kavanough drama.
I think there is value in being able to stay anonymous online though. You shouldn’t just ignore someone because they choose to be anonymous. For obvious reasons, if your identity is revealed online, you run the risk of getting cancelled for an opinion that might not even be that bad.
@@michaelnurse9089 He's moved to that position over time. I think he views anonymity as exclusively negative, and would like to see it gone, but he understands that people aren't willing to go along with that. I disagree, imo anonymity creates a different kind of space, but it can be very developmentally beneficial under the right circumstances.
I don’t think anonymous communication is a “danger to our culture”. The internet has always been anonymous, and that has been key to its growth and flourishing.
The internet in its present form has only been around for maybe 30 years, and social media as we know it only really took off in the last 20 or so… not nearly enough time to understand the full implications it has for any culture. From what I see, there is a massive difference in how people treat each other online, shielded from the consequences of their words by anonymity and distance, vs. in person, where people are generally more respectful and see others as the actual human beings they are. When a typical person has a minor disagreement with someone in person, it generally doesn’t escalate beyond maybe a little awkwardness, but in the average internet comment section, the conversation will often immediately escalate out of control, with people saying the most vile and hateful things to each other. The consequences of that are still very real to those on the receiving side, but the aggressors escape any immediate social consequences and so continue that behavior. Culture and society is held together by standards of behavior that we hold each other to, and these are often not enforceable when we operate under anonymity on the internet, or even if not anonymous when communicating with people thousands of miles away who we have no real relationship to, and we therefore feel no social pressure or accountability. This system may lead to the flourishing of the internet, but that does NOT necessarily equate to the flourishing of our culture. People may be more open and honest if they are anonymous, but the result is often people speaking about things they don’t really know anything about or even care about, often fueled by anger and false confidence. This creates a generally contentious atmosphere that, in my opinion, is an extreme danger to our culture and human thriving in general.
Anonymous is fine for the better 98% of humanity. The last 2% use it to have individuals blackmailed, killed, trafficked, bankrupted or alternatively whole societies ruined. If you think it is fine you have not spent enough time watching these types.
I always joke with my husband about political leaders ..." Nobody who you would actually want as a political leader will be because they are NOT psychopathic enough to do what you have to do to get to the top political tier." 😂
Lucky i don’t idolize any leaders. Never understood that part of humanity where they worshipped an individual that they haven’t met, haven’t spend time knowing them.
The idea of Hitler being a psychopath has never been cross examined, nor have the reasons for this belief been cross examined. Only that which can stand up to cross examination should be regarded as truth.
I do not like the idea of not being able to be anonymous at all. In Sweden, everyone's personal information is published on the internet, so not being anonymous online and saying something does not just mean that you put your name behind it, but also your and your loved ones addresses and workplace behind it.
My account is purposely made to have anonymity. Look what happened to Peterson, to Alex jones, to anyone who says things that make people uncomfortable. So anonymity, like not my name or my face is not the same as a brand new account made to troll and disappear. My accounts is many years old. So being lowkey allows me to talk about anything and everything without it being used against me in the real world. Like at work. I have many opinions, I even have multiple contradicting opinions on the same topics I speak of. I don’t care to be politically correct or even choose my words carefully, I don’t pre write what I’m gong to say. I can be the most honest in this way for I know my opinions might not be the majorities, it might even be offensive to the majority. But it’s my right to still be able to share my thoughts, opinions, ideas, concepts and at last, beliefs. All of which are different
He actually has many jackets that at first glance look the same but they ARE different. He has them custom made by a tailor he's shouted out many times .
Peterson reminds me of a Christian pastor, every word he speaks it's with conviction that he's 100 percent right, he leaves no wiggle room for anything but he's right.
Except that this is a subject he’s literally an expert about, and he’s spent considerable amounts of time around psychopathic criminals studying them, and it’s likely hard to listen to Lex’s usual love/empathy spiel having dealt with freaking Batman villains in real life. Lex is out of his element here, respectfully.
yeah. jp chamged to a religious way of telling "THE truth" and therefore he became anti-pluralistic and more and more amti-liberal (in the old fashioned way). one can understand it as a result of the political driven fights he had to go through. but his discourse culture is declining and not a least because of his kind of religious narcissism (lack of decency for other values and cultures) you have to listen careful, taking his word not for granted..
I think both are psychotic living in a fantasy world inhabited by demons. I think D&D and other fantasy games and published stories had a cause and effect influence on our societal acceptance of these factors. If I am correct, that explains the huge increased accepting of these behaviors and personality styles.

I had an interesting experience recently. I asked for a consult and I was promptly referred which is great. My appt however is with a photographer who will take a Pic. Then the picture will be sent somewhere in the world for someone to diagnose. The biopsy will be local by a pathologist and then pictures will be taken again for dg. Sometime after I will get treatment. No person contact other than the technical ones (2). This is a new form of specialist contact and dg. In fact no contact. Some medical specialities will be spread around the world not necessarily local.
5:16 Maybe JP can fool himself, but he doesn't fool me... he's pointing fingers while describing himself again. While describing "others", he's showing us how to be that way, teaching by example. Bravo.

I find that when I am reading the bible regularly, I am a lot more kind to people. Even just in conversation, the gentle loving nature of Jesus Christ flows out of me.
So in order to know if someone is a psychopath I need to interview them for more than 2 hours? And what are the telltale signs? What do I look for? What are the criteria? Unanswered questions. Unneeded clickbait for otherwise very good content.
the tropes played in in stories throughout our ages and continue further, most obviously, in anime more generally. I'd say Crybaby Devilman is a primary classic example in the genre. It's literally a character, a Devilman (reveal), named Amon? Atmon? And his manipulative by amazing distant friend Lucifer...
Psychopaths get easily very bored.i have bipolar and diagnosed with autism,I worked with psychopath and quit as I couldn’t take how he toyed with me for few months.they get easily bored and they could have add or adhd as well like I have it.but they don’t have neurotic part as I do and they don’t care when they hurt your feelings.they love that.their level of dopamine is different.i am low on dopamine.this is bipolar.they are always bored.psychopath I worked with was just like that.he always wanted something exciting,music or laughter that would excite him and for you to make him happy.he was constantly bored,instead of doing his job he would and while doing his job he would make phone calls,go around,this that,he is out somewhere,he is here,he is there.
@ they are heavy chameleons and they know you as long as they have interest.they don’t have shame,no empathy and they pretend,charm big time that they are beautiful people.lucifer comes with a smile on its face pretending to be beautiful and helpful person.and they already have plan what to do to you or take from you.chameleons.they are very artificial and they reveal them selves easily.when you will be heavily toyed by one,know this is a psychopath.easily bored of course
@ if you work with psychopath and say a word than he might use it against you and if you don’t say a word and just do your job and mind your business than he will be saying that you are harassing him because he is a pathological liar.i had dentist female and when I was in heavy pain she made few steps backward in calm way and said that I have neuralgia.never gave me injection or ask me if I am in pain.she said that I have neuralgia.and continued to drill my tooth again without injection.never gave me a pill for pain.pure butcherer.this is psychopath too.calm.female are rare.not agressive as males.
Let's talk about the bosses and colleagues we suffer under. No, can't just quit. And there is no guarantee the new bosses and colleagues will be any better.
To diagnose psychopath....it must be in a clinical setting face to face to inspect auscultate.assess in real time....social media is not that....tell it to the psychiatrist
Just let the psychopaths have their free speech, we just have to try not getting offended, a robust society needs robust speech, & likewise the psychopaths on left & right have to let voices speak whether they like what's being said or not everyone has to let everyone speak, we have a constitutional right to use our voices freely without fear of retribution & violence
@@sherwoodccm that’s definitely an issue too. It’s a trade off. On one hand, you have a bunch of cowards that hide their identity to say the things they wouldn’t say publicly to someone else and on the other hand you have good citizens threatened by totalitarian governments for expressing freely on social platforms. I would like X and the government to work together on this matter and allow the features to hide anonymous accounts only on the countries where the government proves to absolutely guarantee freedom of speech. It has to be absolutely forbidden to police citizens for what they said publicly. This way being granted that status on X will be something any free country will wish to have 🙏🏻

Why are 'muricans so affraid of psychopaths? I've been diagnosed witch antisocial PD 8 years ago, and nobody gives a fuck here in Europe. Nobody is affraid of me. And that's cool, cuz it doesn't give me a feeling I need to cheat and control people. Common kindness is a powerful thing.
Psychos are like cars on a highway with guard rails, their behavior is restricted to a narrow band of choices
Ah yes, “pay me to approve your humanity”
Genius…you know, hardware ID’s exists. Cookies. IP. Etc
Aren’t a lot of CEO’s psychopathic? Because they don’t consider humanity when making cold calculations for the most money?
The people who enjoy in the sufferings of others rarely admit it. Instead, they will justify their right to abuse you, often through projecting their behavior
@johnathonhuson8734 Eh, that what you described sounds more like a s**ual sadistic person. Unless they are a s**ual sadist AND narcissist. Then they will sometimes straight-up and proudly admit to it. Because they WANT that recognition. Because they WANT those individuals eyes on THEM.
Isnt slapstick comedy often sadistic by JPs definition?
Sadism and psychopathy are two different things. Sadism is the enjoyment of inflicting pain. Psychopathy is not having empathy. Psychopathy does not necessarily make you a bad person. Some psychopaths are law abiding people - they don’t break the law or hurt people but it is because they are aware it is unlawful as opposed to empathizing with a potential victim. The disorganized psychopath is often embroiled in the criminal justice system because they cannot plan ahead and are willing to hurt others to get to whatever desired result that they want to get to but are incapable of planning how to get there without hurting people. The disorganized psychopath does not necessarily “enjoy” inflicting harm, they just don’t care about whether they do or not to achieve whatever result they want to achieve.
@@gary_beniford no, because comedy can’t be sadistic. The person telling the joke could be, but the intent of comedy is the exact opposite of the intent of sadism. The reason jokes are funny is because we can empathize with the joke teller, often the humour comes from disbelief, the joke is funny because of how far away from truth it is.
@@jdunn501 you don’t need to be a psychopath to be devoid of empathy. You simply need to rank high on the narcissism spectrum. I am acutely aware of the dark tetrad, but some of those behaviour traits spill over between pillars. I think what you’re describing is the difference between a sociopath, and a psychopath. The sociopath is the unaware narcissist who is so disorganized they rob the convenience store before they realize it can get them arrested. The other side of this argument is there are no psychopaths that aren’t narcissistic as well. Check out professor Sam vaknin, Richard grannon, ramani durvasala. Vaknin is a clinician and a certified psychopath which encompasses your point. He’s used his psychopathy for success and is aware enough to restrain any dark tendencies, at least so it would seem.
Psychopaths aren't evil. They just literally don't care. Simple as; in all aspects. They truly do not actually care about anyone; parents, lovers, siblings, etc, but they can care for the things these people provide for them. They can appreciate the entertainment and companionship a friend provides, the support and guidance of a mother, the intimacy a mate brings, etc. Psychopaths won't care about your wedding, graduation, childbirth, their own wedding, but they instinctively know to fake caring because when you pretend to care, you are rewarded.
They biologically, instinctively do not care about other humans as a default. Nature has created these people to act as basic, simple human weapons who can do what benefits the group without being shackled by "how does this make him feel?" Some psychopaths are so effective at faking their emotions and empathy, that they can specifically use what they know hurts a person to more efficiently inflict damage. Generally, this is why you shouldn't mess with random people, because eventually you get a 1% chance occurrence with someone who could (and happily would) crucify you with the same casualness as buying groceries if they thought they could get away with it. Treat every random person as if they could be one; youll live longer.
Psychopaths are rare. Sociopath's are a dime a dozen. I wouldn't be as paranoid as you are with people. People in general are not important. I'm not important either. I care greatly for animals but humans being around them and the behavior I gave up a while back. It's too stressful and way too much drama.
This is total self-centeredness and literally the definition of evil

@@adventures_media it's a trauma response. Apathy and loss of interest in the world around you. Sociopathy is created from trauma and abuse.
@@Suzanne-t3l The whole 'animals are innocent but humans are too hard to deal with' thing isn't a great point at all, just an idle cowardly cop-out. Sure, animals you can control are so much 'nicer' to you than people you can't, and that makes me wonder where you fall on the sociopathy specturm.
Jp thinks psychopaths are very impulsive and impatient but he's wrong I've waited years to get people back for even small things.
And?
It's once you all start to implement your plans that you lose peripheral vision and display impulsiveness, like when a shark bites and it's eyes roll back

Don’t idolise or worship anybody.
Especially not jp
Don’t take advice from RUclips comments.
@@DoleyDoles does it apply to your comment?
@@kasuo7039 double edge sword there lol
That is the ideal, but it is not realistic, even if you are a saint (although saints have a lot more capacity to no idolize or worship anybody). Therefore, since everyone, to various degrees, is going to be idolizing others, it is wise to practice discernment in whom you idolize and don't idolize. Idolize/worship is the extreme of "follow/subscribe/give attention to" but still the same thing on a core level
Psychopaths are easy to pick out.The hardest part is *accepting* that the person is a psychopath.
If they're stupid, yeah ... There are numerous examples of intelligent ones that did go undiscovered for a very long time. I think you may spot narcissists and sociopaths more easily, for they cannot control themselves, which is precisely opposite of what's significant for a psychopath.
There are also high-functioning ones that do not have the need to hurt others, they're low in "sadism", and going off track is detrimental to themselves, therefore the most egoistic thing is obviously to ignore dealing with any unnecessary vengeance.
However, I do agree with the difficulties in accepting your interpretation of a person, and people are often very complex.
I agree. There is a sense of loss if it was a person you thought was your friend. That person dies and it’s replaced by a monster.
@@christopherquigley5468you get over it.
This statement is completely false.
And even when people accept it they sugarcoat the issue and act as if they aren't that problematic
Peterson says that people act worst when they are anonymous, but when you can identify the person behind the words, they have a higher propensity to just lie to your face. How is lying not worse than anonymity? I think anonymity brings more honesty even if it can get dark and ruthless at times.
100%
@@bikerboy72I definitely wouldn't say the shit i say online thats for sure.
Accountability is a powerful tool against them.
And silent observation. And distance.
Good luck with that.
trust but verify
And then eventually, after we take power, and we are corrupted, accountability will be their weapon against us. Humans are dumb.
Not necessarily, not unless you are able to learn the way that the psychopath interprets his or her own sense of accountability, which is the mark of the psychopath, that there is some known or unknown pathology when it comes to the morality of expressing their emotions. If you hold a psychopath accountable according to, just some rules, you will only perpetuate, or even could strengthen, the pathology.
I feel that an ever increasing portion of people have little to no empathy
The worst ones are the ones in banks, corporations and governments. And he’s worried about trolls in the internet. That are composed of broken people. And some are psychopath. It could be demonizing political dissidents
Jordan is saying it is the trolls who express their psychopathy publicly in anonymity. It is also Jordan’s contention is leadership is mired in psychopathy. It is these persons who successfully veil their true nature. True leadership requires a metaphorically shepherd approach. But shepherds are the lowest forms of a western democratic caste system.

Anonymity is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, according to Thomas Sowell, "There are only two ways of telling the complete truth - anonymously and posthumously."
I have ADHD, so an impulsive frontal lobe is what I have in common with a psychopath. So that can land me in bad situations because I jump right into them at times.
And many years ago I asked a psychologist : "How can I spot that? How do I not see that?" and he said the same: "you can't know in the beginning. All you have is time. It takes time to know people."
I never forgot that. I am still who I am, so I could not do that just as instructed. But I never forgot it and over the years I build a safety net that made me independent that I can bounce back on in case I made the wrong the decision again. In fact I did. It was more like when I leveled up, so I met more people with better skills at evil and deception.
People with ADHD are more likely to be trusting and helpful (when they are not emotionally psychopathic/sociopathic) that is why they are much more likely ending up in abusive relationships.
Because they have energetic commonalities with bad people basically. So it needs special skills for people with ADHD to construct a safe life.
A certain immaturity that just never goes away and that's fine.
I actually think young people could profit a lot from what successful people with ADHD because they often went through the experience of being exploited. So they know the ins and outs of how to spot signs of bad behavior.
One thing is too: in the beginning usually people try to show their best behavior. So most of the time if a person shows some oddity right from the start: it's like the tip of the iceberg. There is really more to it. Whether they have a bad day or it's deeply routed in their personality is another question.
This is so accurate. When I had my ego death I was able to flip my sight to see these people quicker. Also, just not as trusting any more.
ADHD isn't real. It's just what lazy, pleasure-addicts tell themselves to excuse their failure. Source: Me - I used to be one of the diagnosed ADHD crew. I dropped the label and sorted my life out. Try it

Psychopaths put money before people. Self interests before people. Compulsive liers too.
Psychopaths are goal oriented...even if their goals are illegal and horrific...the end is the goal...which cares nothing for the feelings of others, other than from a manipulative point of view...infliction of pain is the goal of sociopaths...who are not Psychopaths.
So every entraorenuer capitalist is a psychopath by that logic. Nah
Word games .....
@@rosesoulis1840 distinctions matter
Everything you said is nonsense.
Actually true
You never want to cross paths with a true psychopath with harmful intent. Im on the spectrum and I believe as a consequence I notice neurodivergent individuals and those with personality disorders, acutely. For some reason I am sensitive to them, I can ALWAYS spot a psychopath almost immediately. There are hosts of verbal, behavioral, and emotional tells, there is still research being done on this topic. I can't tell you how or why I am able to identify them but I think it has to do with my inability to identify with certain emotions or a deficit of some social aptitudes as a person in the spectrum. Also they, to me, are the antithesis of my identity, so it's fight or flight when I see them or get the tells.
@dblockbass I am right there with you, bro. I get this feeling with certain people, like the scenes in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy where he knows something bad is about to go down, and I get that same feeling.
Now, as I am on the spectrum myself, I always have hated making and maintaining eye contact with anyone, to the point where If I've been on a date with a girl (usually second date), I will tell them straight up that I don't like making eye contact because it just makes me feel uncomfortable. Then, that feeling is magnetized when I make eye contact with someone I think might be trying to play me or has that "psychopath stare".
So, that's how I knew I was not a Psycho or Sociopath nor a narcissist.
I’m also on the spectrum and can identify psychopath And neurodivergent people as well. I’ve never heard anybody else references this.
Yeah sure bud
Dude, you're just paranoid.
There's a kind of simplicity to it, but it's oddly abstracted and difficult to pin to words. I'd surmise neurodivergence alters, to some if not an incredible degree, the processing of environmental factors and interaction in such a way that particular abstractions stand out over on-the-surface behaviors. Likewise, some people also innately have a sense of a psychopath for other reasons which may be as a result of genetic predisposition... or something. It's interesting to see how people interact with the encounters nonetheless, whether clueless or curious, especially scared but unable to explain why. How they solve these issues are so various that it always presents more information for recreational study.
4:47 Peterson is making a big mistake here. He doesn't realize the power he's giving to governments by taking this approach with anonymous accounts. In Argentina, Javier Milei won the elections thanks to social media. The opposition used the full machinery of the state to go against him in traditional media, and they also tried to pass a mandatory national digital labeling law. From Argentina, I can tell you one thing: we escaped tyranny thanks to Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter and how it's currently run. Peterson needs to understand this.
Yes he does….. he’s a sellout. 3 years ago he never would be so anti free speech. Happened recently. Many could see. Compromised.
People going down the rabbit hole are looking for answers. Their “paranoia” is their brain trying to process the information into coherent reasoning. It can lead to weird places lol.
But he’s right, the tip-toe approach only exacerbates the confusion. It’s about “answers”, remember?
Not everyone finds answers. Some get stuck in a loop. If this happens, reverse course. Find last off-ramp and try again. Etc.
It like a pendulum my friend. It swung in your direction this time but can also work against you next time
@@Rope_Adope well said!
It should be obvious to people that Jordan Peterson has serious cognitive dissonance about this topic (or holds a hidden agenda). He claims he's against censorship and loves the expression of ideas, that he doesn't think people should be "cancelled" for expressing them; so long as they are ideas he determines to be acceptable. However, if he thinks the ideas are "dangerous" or are too taboo to be discussed or lend credibility towards, watch how he suddenly wants people to be thrust into the spotlight for all to see and ridicule. It's completely antithetical to what he claims he stands for.
Ironically, he fails to see how totalitarian that line of thinking is: to reduce the possible avenues people have to discuss or expose potentially life-shattering ideas and opinions, free from wrongful persecution if said ideas are in fact credible. It's akin to the KGB having your neighbours inform them of any wrong-think, except in this scenario he has replaced the infallible regime of the Soviet Union with his own opinion and mob rule; a mob influenced by innumerate biases, social conformity and a myriad of other cognitive influences that often serve as road blocks in pursuit of truth; a mob whose primary focus is to preserve the status-quo and the internal world-view of all those apart of it.
Being a phsycopath is not a choice, being cynical and sadistic is.
No being cynical and sadistic is like a callous. It’s developed over time.
@@Battlefox64_RL Yes it is a choice to let the callous of cynism and sadism continue to develop. However, being a physcopath is a disorder one is born with.
@@Battlefox64_RL worms in human shape behave cynical or sadistic until they try same medicine on a psychopath. Then they meet a new feeling called regret.
Hmmm that’s a difficult generalisation, at the point at which psychopathy is predominantly conditioned due to habit, you might argue they have no choice, but realistically it’s more accurate to say they have weakened capability towards the alternative choice. However, in the timeline of successive and compounding psychopathic behaviours, they have choice relative to this.
@@strayo3495 how does one decide to decide to not be cynical and a sadist? This is actually the most interesting question on free will and not limited just to your question on cynicism etc.....I mean how does the inspiration come about to do anything? It seems less like a rational man inside our head controlling all the levers and gears and more like chaotic, spontaneous inspiration. Sapolsky and even alan watts going back further spoke about this in interesting ways.
There's a woman in Vietnam murdered 3 of her family members: dad, brother and nephew(brother's son). She did that by using kali cyanite. She said she didn't like them whom she killed. Pretty normal 40s woman, quite beautiful in general. If that's not a psychopath, idk what is.

I would regard myself having reasonable intelligence and in the past quite liked some of Jordan's work. However I find more and more that he seems to be saying a whole heap of word salad which doesn't mean much to me at least.

Tucker exposes truth selectively while avoiding other truths. The best way to sell a lie is to mix some truth in.
Remember when Tucker got taken to court for what he said on air? Remember what his defense team argued on his behalf?
These behaviors need to be integrated, not outright rejected. And used for a noble purpose. To protect yourself and those that need protecting. The integration of those “negative” aspects is a difficult road, but a necessary one.

John Pork?
I identified a psychopath in AA. This guy, Ron, was pulling a Charles Manson, he had a harem of vulnerable girls who worshipped him and I'm pretty sure he was giving them LSD because they acted f*cked. He also said something word for word that I had said at a previous meeting and then smirked at me. My friend was telling me one day that Ron helped him into his apartment when he lost his keys (Ron is a locksmith). I said, "Don't be friends with him, he's a psychopath." He didn't believe me. A week later he came up to me looking traumatized. He said, "you were right about Ron." So Henry, my friend, went up to Ron and said, "(me) thinks you're a psychopath, haha!" The next day he woke up with Ron standing over his bed. When Henry screamed Ron just smiled and nonchalantly walked out. Ron started terrorizing all my friends because he perceived I'm protective of vulnerable people. They are perceptive little c*nts. Everyone should watch "Funny Games." It's about psychopaths and how they like to toy with people.
That's not a psychopath, that's a sociopath. Psychopath don't do that shit, they don't care, psychopaths are dangerous only when you get in their way. They don't seek out trouble, they just don't care about rules or other people. Sociopaths enjoy and seek out the manipulation of others, that's what they do.

Such a rich interview by Lex Fridman, here. So much being said between the lines, but the feelings and ideas are out on the table.
while all psychopaths may prefer to be annonymous, not all who prefer anonymity are psychopathic. don't dismiss all those who have good valid things to say just because they prefer to be anonymous.
I don't even think the first is true. Having social standing can be a great shield, can allow you to get away with things some poor anonymous nobody couldn't even dream of.
It is interesting to watch the times and conversation when they fold their arms, the body language of both says a lot.
if you just be yourself and act the way you would in person then this is just another public place where total strangers find common ground enough to interact and engage eachother. people that can't do this in person or online are not comfortable with themselves and needed better social skills taught as a child.

4:10 If someone laughs at someone else's suffering, you clearly are dealing with a seriously disturbed individual. Not a psychopath though, psychopaths, you can usually tell because they are extremely boring. Often they will show up as unemotional and boring, but with some charm. It's the only way to tell, otherwise look at the actions, if they are generally reckless or do anti-social behavior. It's not that difficult, but people simply refuse to see the evidence usually. They want to see rictus in the face, like in an Hollywood movie where you know it's the bad guy. It's a sign of bad, but you will miss psychopaths.
That quite simply isn't true.
My ex was asked to leave the first couple session within minutes
Biased against men
Does that make them or you the psychopath?
did your therapist tell you what they picked up on?
sparki: full blown narcissistic personality disorder, still 20y later probably still thinks can’t have anything nice & people should be nice to her. She was oddly in the news as a bartender in Breckinridge during the Kavanough drama.
@@lola-BBD and the therapist was able to spot that personality disorder straight away? fascinating.
Any good video recommendations for 'how to tell if someone is a psychopath?'
I think there is value in being able to stay anonymous online though. You shouldn’t just ignore someone because they choose to be anonymous. For obvious reasons, if your identity is revealed online, you run the risk of getting cancelled for an opinion that might not even be that bad.
JP said they should be separated in the interface. That is not the same as censoring the anonymous.
@@michaelnurse9089 He's moved to that position over time. I think he views anonymity as exclusively negative, and would like to see it gone, but he understands that people aren't willing to go along with that.
I disagree, imo anonymity creates a different kind of space, but it can be very developmentally beneficial under the right circumstances.
I don’t think anonymous communication is a “danger to our culture”. The internet has always been anonymous, and that has been key to its growth and flourishing.
Anonymously you can be more honest than you can be in real life
@@ManicMindTrick totally agree. It’s not anonymity that is the cause of these problems, it’s the weaponization of the media and government.
The internet in its present form has only been around for maybe 30 years, and social media as we know it only really took off in the last 20 or so… not nearly enough time to understand the full implications it has for any culture. From what I see, there is a massive difference in how people treat each other online, shielded from the consequences of their words by anonymity and distance, vs. in person, where people are generally more respectful and see others as the actual human beings they are. When a typical person has a minor disagreement with someone in person, it generally doesn’t escalate beyond maybe a little awkwardness, but in the average internet comment section, the conversation will often immediately escalate out of control, with people saying the most vile and hateful things to each other. The consequences of that are still very real to those on the receiving side, but the aggressors escape any immediate social consequences and so continue that behavior. Culture and society is held together by standards of behavior that we hold each other to, and these are often not enforceable when we operate under anonymity on the internet, or even if not anonymous when communicating with people thousands of miles away who we have no real relationship to, and we therefore feel no social pressure or accountability.
This system may lead to the flourishing of the internet, but that does NOT necessarily equate to the flourishing of our culture. People may be more open and honest if they are anonymous, but the result is often people speaking about things they don’t really know anything about or even care about, often fueled by anger and false confidence. This creates a generally contentious atmosphere that, in my opinion, is an extreme danger to our culture and human thriving in general.
Anonymous is fine for the better 98% of humanity. The last 2% use it to have individuals blackmailed, killed, trafficked, bankrupted or alternatively whole societies ruined. If you think it is fine you have not spent enough time watching these types.
@@austinlang748Everything was fine before corporations began consolidating very few places.
I always joke with my husband about political leaders ..." Nobody who you would actually want as a political leader will be because they are NOT psychopathic enough to do what you have to do to get to the top political tier." 😂
Lucky i don’t idolize any leaders. Never understood that part of humanity where they worshipped an individual that they haven’t met, haven’t spend time knowing them.
Enjoyed very much.. thank you for sharing.
The idea of Hitler being a psychopath has never been cross examined, nor have the reasons for this belief been cross examined. Only that which can stand up to cross examination should be regarded as truth.
Peterson blocked me on X. He believes in free speech as long as people don't call him out on his BS.
I would like if you also talked about sociopathy and the difference between phycopathy and sociopathy.
I do not like the idea of not being able to be anonymous at all. In Sweden, everyone's personal information is published on the internet, so not being anonymous online and saying something does not just mean that you put your name behind it, but also your and your loved ones addresses and workplace behind it.
My account is purposely made to have anonymity. Look what happened to Peterson, to Alex jones, to anyone who says things that make people uncomfortable. So anonymity, like not my name or my face is not the same as a brand new account made to troll and disappear. My accounts is many years old. So being lowkey allows me to talk about anything and everything without it being used against me in the real world. Like at work. I have many opinions, I even have multiple contradicting opinions on the same topics I speak of. I don’t care to be politically correct or even choose my words carefully, I don’t pre write what I’m gong to say. I can be the most honest in this way for I know my opinions might not be the majorities, it might even be offensive to the majority. But it’s my right to still be able to share my thoughts, opinions, ideas, concepts and at last, beliefs. All of which are different
Jordan really Loves that jacket! Last time I saw him,(Rogan)He was wearing this jacket.😂
He actually has many jackets that at first glance look the same but they ARE different. He has them custom made by a tailor he's shouted out many times .
@@maynarddrivesfast804 yup
He has a few he really likes. I saw him here in LA and he was wearing the two-tone suit he wore on Rogan previously.
He also loves that two toned purple and blue suit
If you think Jordan Peterson likes that jacket, you should see how much Lex loves his men in black suit.
If the interviewee asks you a personal question that you feel compelled to answer….you are dealing with a psychopath.
Good to know they're still people who can't be read, out there. Never show all your cards, it always gives you a leg up on your competition.
Very good interviewer
I love how natural they are in their conversations. Two of the most brilliant minds of our time. ❤
There is no way to know. Don't follow these people. They already know what you are interested in hearing.
Peterson reminds me of a Christian pastor, every word he speaks it's with conviction that he's 100 percent right, he leaves no wiggle room for anything but he's right.
Lol. Peterson is a hack. He believes in an eternal after life but is also worried that China has more engineers...
it’s an infj thing. over time you’ll see the give and take of humility and narcissism.
Except that this is a subject he’s literally an expert about, and he’s spent considerable amounts of time around psychopathic criminals studying them, and it’s likely hard to listen to Lex’s usual love/empathy spiel having dealt with freaking Batman villains in real life. Lex is out of his element here, respectfully.
@@steelesmith1379 care to elaborate?
yeah. jp chamged to a religious way of telling "THE truth" and therefore he became anti-pluralistic and more and more amti-liberal (in the old fashioned way). one can understand it as a result of the political driven fights he had to go through. but his discourse culture is declining and not a least because of his kind of religious narcissism (lack of decency for other values and cultures) you have to listen careful, taking his word not for granted..
Empathy, and then what is the term that implies to do what’s right vs. what’s wrong.
Question: What’s the difference between psychopath and narcissist? I find it difficult to distinguish the two.
Sociopath and narcissist often go hand in hand from my experience.
I think both are psychotic living in a fantasy world inhabited by demons. I think D&D and other fantasy games and published stories had a cause and effect influence on our societal acceptance of these factors. If I am correct, that explains the huge increased accepting of these behaviors and personality styles.
Narcissist loves to be in centre of attention,they always talk.psychopath heavily manipulates,lies,controls,ask questions that will use informations against you,lies,deceits,psychopath bursts into passive aggression and calms down in few seconds as if not thing happened,becomes cool.narcissistic anger last much longer.psychopaths get easily bored.psychopaths when dealing with narcissists and sociopaths controls them through verbal manipulation.they are extremely entitled,they control and manipulate entire company.no shame.they love to toy with people a lot! Narcissist is not as near as manipulative as psychopath.psychopaths love to listen more and ask questions.this part is where they get information,they are predators,cold.narcissists love to talk and talk and be in centre of attention.they are highly opinionated,narcissists that is.psychopaths are heavy manipulators,control freaks.i was harassed and toyed by psychopaths and sociopaths both.narcissist is not so bad,they are upsetting,they love to glorify their ego.psychopath is extreme manipulator.they control sociopaths easily and trick them into believing anything they want to.o am bullied as a autistic person with bipolar by a female sociopath,I have adhd too.they are very sick people.sociopaths are heavy narcissists,abnormal,very egoistic.
The problem with the social sciences is that everyone who isn't a social scientist thinks they're an expert.
Because its the easiest " science " to learn.
@@michaelhorne4742 I know engineers who did public policy masters degrees that would disagree with you.
Excellent conversation
>it might be the fundamental problem of the age
>online anonymous psychopaths
fundamental threat to his clown career i'd guess yeah
watch out everyone a teenager feels threatened by JP
I love that you guys did this.
I had an interesting experience recently. I asked for a consult and I was promptly referred which is great. My appt however is with a photographer who will take a Pic. Then the picture will be sent somewhere in the world for someone to diagnose. The biopsy will be local by a pathologist and then pictures will be taken again for dg. Sometime after I will get treatment. No person contact other than the technical ones (2). This is a new form of specialist contact and dg. In fact no contact. Some medical specialities will be spread around the world not necessarily local.
5:16 Maybe JP can fool himself, but he doesn't fool me... he's pointing fingers while describing himself again. While describing "others", he's showing us how to be that way, teaching by example. Bravo.
He's a psychopath? 😂
Dont confuse JP with everyone else who tried to help you for free, and you didn't listen, and your life sucks and JP said to "CLEAN YOUR ROOM" in a psychopath voice..scurry along now, lol
Lefty
Yeah nah
You're gonna need to unpack that more. Incoming word salad filled with emotions.... 😢
Here's a psychopath test: how do you respond after hitting a deer with your sedan? Buy a bigger truck with a deer grate (God forbid the next deer is a deaf kid), or do you pick the one tool needed, that communicates to (capital L) Life to GTFOW?
Speed up next time.
Intuition screams danger inside yr head. Always listen to your intuition
Paranoid schizo be like:

ever heard of term "boiling frog''?
Unfortunately when you meet someone you have no idea but if you really listen to them “you just know” But does it stop them? Don’t enable other people bad behavior that is the true message…
They don’t have forehead wrinkles
Ah! The Thinker, the mind wanderer, and the Ponderer… non have forehead wrinkles and live long time
what???
Ok i will ask it. Does Lex keeps the cap off the coke bottle on purpose? To get rid of the fizz ?
Simple guess is so you do not hear gas release each time he opens it (then listener’s especially with earphones would ______).
That's a sign right there. He just outed himself 😂
His hard Russian soul prefers warm and flat soda.
I Love Jordan Peterson he is brillant
I think the title of that clip was misleading.
I find that when I am reading the bible regularly, I am a lot more kind to people. Even just in conversation, the gentle loving nature of Jesus Christ flows out of me.
I’ve always wondered if I am a psychopath. What does not knowing say about me?
Bots will muddy the waters so bad you won’t be able to tell who from what…😩
So in order to know if someone is a psychopath I need to interview them for more than 2 hours? And what are the telltale signs? What do I look for? What are the criteria? Unanswered questions. Unneeded clickbait for otherwise very good content.
Im a clinical psychopath and I don’t feel it’s bad at all, why would anyone not have the choice to emotionally a-detach themselves to anything/one.
(It’s a superpower)
Peter here is very generous, he allows the other person to make 3 mistakes !
Love the video
One of the best podcast
the tropes played in in stories throughout our ages and continue further, most obviously, in anime more generally. I'd say Crybaby Devilman is a primary classic example in the genre. It's literally a character, a Devilman (reveal), named Amon? Atmon? And his manipulative by amazing distant friend Lucifer...
Like your Robert Greene interview
They sacrifice friendship for short term personal gain
I can remember when a Jordan Peterson interview got a million views during the first week. Now it's barely more than 10% of that.
Where does the impulsivity come in if most psychopaths are nonviolent?
Psychopaths get easily very bored.i have bipolar and diagnosed with autism,I worked with psychopath and quit as I couldn’t take how he toyed with me for few months.they get easily bored and they could have add or adhd as well like I have it.but they don’t have neurotic part as I do and they don’t care when they hurt your feelings.they love that.their level of dopamine is different.i am low on dopamine.this is bipolar.they are always bored.psychopath I worked with was just like that.he always wanted something exciting,music or laughter that would excite him and for you to make him happy.he was constantly bored,instead of doing his job he would and while doing his job he would make phone calls,go around,this that,he is out somewhere,he is here,he is there.
@tomislavpogacic8151 thank you for sharing your insight and personal experience.
@ they are heavy chameleons and they know you as long as they have interest.they don’t have shame,no empathy and they pretend,charm big time that they are beautiful people.lucifer comes with a smile on its face pretending to be beautiful and helpful person.and they already have plan what to do to you or take from you.chameleons.they are very artificial and they reveal them selves easily.when you will be heavily toyed by one,know this is a psychopath.easily bored of course
@ if you work with psychopath and say a word than he might use it against you and if you don’t say a word and just do your job and mind your business than he will be saying that you are harassing him because he is a pathological liar.i had dentist female and when I was in heavy pain she made few steps backward in calm way and said that I have neuralgia.never gave me injection or ask me if I am in pain.she said that I have neuralgia.and continued to drill my tooth again without injection.never gave me a pill for pain.pure butcherer.this is psychopath too.calm.female are rare.not agressive as males.
Let's talk about the bosses and colleagues we suffer under. No, can't just quit. And there is no guarantee the new bosses and colleagues will be any better.
1- accident, 2- coincidence, 3- enemy action
There’s a reason the dissident right is on the rise……legitimate reasons……..not that these two will honestly look at those reasons.
I really don’t appreciate the Clickbait. Nowhere this interview ,was there any information on how to be able to tell if someone is a psychopath?
I think if I were Jordan Peterson, the place to start would be the mirror!
Yeah gentlemen, welcome to the game. Your radars are working. 👍
To diagnose psychopath....it must be in a clinical setting face to face to inspect auscultate.assess in real time....social media is not that....tell it to the psychiatrist
I wonder what the link between psychopathy and politicians is 🤔
Just let the psychopaths have their free speech, we just have to try not getting offended, a robust society needs robust speech, & likewise the psychopaths on left & right have to let voices speak whether they like what's being said or not everyone has to let everyone speak, we have a constitutional right to use our voices freely without fear of retribution & violence
Jordan Peterson has said and done a lot of great things. He does have valuable work. That said he's lost his mind lately with his anti anonymous bs
I agree with separating the anonymous and the verified people 🙏🏻
Until the issue of doxing & swatting is addressed I would never support this.
@@sherwoodccm that’s definitely an issue too. It’s a trade off. On one hand, you have a bunch of cowards that hide their identity to say the things they wouldn’t say publicly to someone else and on the other hand you have good citizens threatened by totalitarian governments for expressing freely on social platforms. I would like X and the government to work together on this matter and allow the features to hide anonymous accounts only on the countries where the government proves to absolutely guarantee freedom of speech. It has to be absolutely forbidden to police citizens for what they said publicly. This way being granted that status on X will be something any free country will wish to have 🙏🏻
