    When I got out of maximum security I was sober for the first time in years. Once outside I recommitted to my wife, remained sober, sought professional help, abandoned my dysfunctional birth family and old friends, enrolled in college and graduated. My conviction made employment difficult. I returned to college for one year to get a teaching certificate and soon found myself teaching adult education in prison. I finished graduate school and taught general psychology for years until I retired. The beast within is part of us but so is the angel. Stay strong.

    When I was in Vietnam I could never understand how so many guys missed the enemy when shooting at him. I knew these guys were good shots normally. They just didn't want to kill anyone and would wait till the last second to shoot the guy or pray that I would get him first. Two guys in particular never shot anyone that I know of. Both of them got shot themselves.

      There is a whole statistical theory that most soldiers purposefully miss so that they won't kill. There are a small percentage of soldiers who are actually ruthless and kill without thinking about it. It is basically that small percentage of soldiers who are actually fighting the war. The rest are just like scarecrows with gear and a gun.

    So what I'm getting at here from his personal retelling is that you don't have be born insane to be a killer.
    The human psyche is like a switch, with enough conditioning on either side of the spectrum determines your personality and actions. Meaning anyone can be a pacifist or stone cold killer so long as they have a normal brain and conditioned properly.

      "you don't have be born insane to be a killer." It is not insanity; it's psychopathy. The question is why do we always hear from modern psychologists that people who are not psychopaths are unable to do the types of atrocious acts Peterson described here because their conscience will not let them get away with in. Peterson seems to disagree.

"Oh you'd better be ready for this aye? This is what happens to guys who snitch in here, Bucko!"

      I can imagine the alternative timeline now. Smugglypuff shows up at a Peterson rally, runs on stage and steals his microphone. A quick chase ensues followed by a bit of a struggle. Smugglypuff strikes Peterson in the balls and retreats behind a wall of SJWs.
      Police show up having witnessed everything and bring them both together to take reports. Smugglypuff starts denying everything, whilst making a smug face more smug than anything has ever smugged in the history of smuggness. All of a sudden, SJWs start pushing the police whilst calling them fascists for protecting Petersons' right to free speech. At this point, Peterson begins to lose his cool. As the crowd and police are distracted, he can tolerate the smugness no longer. He makes a grab for the microphone. In a struggle, Peterson is forced to push Smugglypuff; He watches helplessly as (it) loses balance and falls to the ground, catching (its) head against the sharp corner of an uneven paving slab. Peterson grabs the microphone from (its) clutches and sees there's no movement. After only a few seconds there's a lot of blood too, and for the first time in history, Peterson panics. He is appalled by what happened and how he reacted in that moment of frustration, but unsure of how the SJWs will react to this situation, he flees the scene for his own safety.
      He gets home and switches on the local news. Peterson is wanted for questioning in connection with the death of Smugglypuff. The mainstream press are already vilifying Peterson with loose collections and sketchy eye witness testimonial. Nobody clearly saw what happened, but that's not stopping them from inventing a narrative.
      (A few years later)
      Peterson is wanted for murder and fled Canada. Both he and his work were discredited, along with having his actions held up as examples of the oppressive and violent far-right. The sympathy accrued for the transgender movement paves the way for the smooth introduction of bill C-17. Now farting in the vicinity or otherwise offending a transgender persons' delicate nasal passages is considered a hate crime. They can also decide if you're assuming genders just by gaze and pupil dilation. If you look at them in a way in which they find displeasing or discriminatory... you could potentially be imprisoned or heavily fined. Bill C-16 became heavily enforced too. Leading to a market wide refusal to hire anybody with dyed pink hair, transgender affiliation or that is even remotely unconventional looking.
      Peterson, shocked and abhorred by what he was seeing unfold, begins his decent into madness. His only alternative was to become the villain he was already made out to be. He dusts off his prison costume and fashions it into a vigilante costume.
      This fall AMC brings you Peterson The Punisher. A man driven to madness. With one motive, bring down the Ontario Human Rights Commission by ANY means necessary.

They still love you and care about you, but they don't NEED you. You will miss them. Your heart will hurt because they are gone. But the comfort will be in knowing you did your job right.
      We don't notice just how many parents do get that right. If they didn't, our society couldn't function.

The kid ended up taking boxing lessons and almost beat "the guy" to a pulp on the last week of high school. Turns out tough guy was a rat and just as much of a pussy as anyone else. Called the cops and got mommy and daddy involved. Kid got charged with assault. Funny world we live in.

    When you ask, "Am I capable of extreme violence?" I would think you'd have to take circumstances into account. A man in Texas walked in on a man who was sexually molesting the Texan's little daughter and the father beat the man to death. Now, you can argue that the Texan could have just restrained him or punched him a few times, he didn't have to kill the man. But you can understand a father having that sort of rage. That's a different sort of thing that someone who just beats someone for the fun of it.

Here, we have a name for this kind of crime (and similar) it's called "Dråp" it's murder but with a situation that is a little more forgiving, let's say we have the situation of the Texan father, he still kills a guy and we only have one law that gives you freedom to kill someone and that's in self-defense (or in defense of others that are in a VERY dangerous situation and risking their life). However, in this scenario the daughter wasn't in any life-threatening situation and therefore the father decided to kill the man, but since the surroundings with the harassment and stuff just occured we would sentence him to about 3-6 years in Prison for "Dråp" (I'm pretty sure you guys also have this law but I can't remember what the name is).

I had over 12 lumps on side of my head. Ligaments were torn and 2 broken ribs. I really got away with I’d say minor injuries considering the beats I took,
    I was definitely not a coward prior to that beating but I’ve never harmed anyone . I always stood my ground. But now I’m more cautious and paranoid but after the beating I took I’ve become more brave and stupid and I feel like I’m more of a monster than I was, but one thing for sure I could do more worse to those bastards than what they did to me.

In the latter case, that is when people turn to thinking about causing suffering, as someone intentionally and consciously caused them suffering.

    I heard this speech some while back and was looking for it again, as it was one of the very first stories that impacted me personally. I got out of prison 8/19/90, drank like an idiot 8/18 and experienced the miracle of not going back to prison (I had a spiritual experience, but the spiritual awareness came on 8/19). At 3:30 A.M. 8/19/90, I got honest about my drinking/alcoholism, and sobered up. I've been sober since then and have not returned to prison, either. Yes, angels wear many faces. Some look beautiful, some look ghastly, but when we change we change and see life differently. Like John Armstrong, I use my past to help people. Knowing we are all capable of ugly behavior if we don't stay in alignment with our true selves, is a part of humility that sobers the wise soul. But for the grace of God, there go I sort of a thing. Jordan's recent interview with Charles Joseph opened my heart, too. OMG I'm so glad Jordan is using his life to raise people's love for themselves and others. God knows the world needs more love.

In the Yugoslavian civil war, former neighbors were killing each other ...

In my opinion, this is topmost psychology, that can really help in understanding how the human mind works

That may be true, but I think its dismissive and ignoring what caused the problem, a more realistic approach is to consider what it would take for you too commit evil, we're all more or less the same creature and are all capable of acting in varying degrees of evil.

I was getting ready to start smashing my attacker's head in the pavement. I've had to learn to stay cool headed, not that I think I would kill, but that is always a possibility. Being a bouncer for a couple years, I would take whoever down and end it before they knew what was happening, just to make sure I didn't get close to that blackout possibility. 5 guy's jumped me after a superbowl party when I was stopping a robbery at the bar. I was down with a barstool on me with the other 4 kicking me. That blackout response saved my life on this occasion. I lifted the guy and stool up, never had to swing, growled and flexed and all 5 ran away. It's in there on everyone, it depends on the trigger I would say.

    I can imagine the alternative timeline now. Smugglypuff shows up at a Peterson rally, runs on stage and steals his microphone. A quick chase ensues followed by a bit of a struggle. Smugglypuff strikes Peterson in the balls and retreats behind a wall of SJWs.
    Police show up having witnessed everything and bring them both together to take reports. Smugglypuff starts denying everything, whilst making a smug face more smug than anything has ever smugged in the history of smuggness. All of a sudden, SJWs start pushing the police whilst calling them fascists for protecting Petersons' right to free speech. At this point, Peterson begins to lose his cool. As the crowd and police are distracted, he can tolerate the smugness no longer. He makes a grab for the microphone. In a struggle, Peterson is forced to push Smugglypuff; He watches helplessly as (it) loses balance and falls to the ground, catching (its) head against the sharp corner of an uneven paving slab. Peterson grabs the microphone from (its) clutches and sees there's no movement. After only a few seconds there's a lot of blood too, and for the first time in history, Peterson panics. He is appalled by what happened and how he reacted in that moment of frustration, but unsure of how the SJWs will react to this situation, he flees the scene for his own safety.
    He gets home and switches on the local news. Peterson is wanted for questioning in connection with the death of Smugglypuff. The mainstream press are already vilifying Peterson with loose collections and sketchy eye witness testimonial. Nobody clearly saw what happened, but that's not stopping them from inventing a narrative.
    (A few years later)
    Peterson is wanted for murder and fled Canada. Both he and his work were discredited, along with having his actions held up as examples of the oppressive and violent far-right. The sympathy accrued for the transgender movement paves the way for the smooth introduction of bill C-17. Now farting in the vicinity or otherwise offending a transgender persons' delicate nasal passages is considered a hate crime. They can also decide if you're assuming genders just by gaze and pupil dilation. If you look at them in a way in which they find displeasing or discriminatory... you could potentially be imprisoned or heavily fined. Bill C-16 became heavily enforced too. Leading to a market wide refusal to hire anybody with dyed pink hair, transgender affiliation or that is even remotely unconventional looking.
    Peterson, shocked and abhorred by what he was seeing unfold, begins his decent into madness. His only alternative was to become the villain he was already made out to be. He dusts off his prison costume and fashions it into a vigilante costume.
    This fall AMC brings you Peterson The Punisher. A man driven to madness. With one motive, bring down the Ontario Human Rights Commission by ANY means necessary.

    There's this bit in Alain de Botton's book The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work where he notes in passing that everything around him is the product of someone's labour. Now I noticed this when i was about 5 or 6, looking at the molding around a light switch after being near someone whose job it was to clear scurf from manufactured plastic chunks.
    It's always kept me aware of how much work there is between field and table, how much effort thrums in all the made things around us. Even if you can sniff derisively at the simpleton who operates the machine that spits out slabs of rubber, people who utterly discount them have a warped view and it shows.
    Now I don't recall where and how I understood the malevolence within human nature, but it seems to have always been there and I didn't need a visit to any monster holding facility to get it.
    Similarly, I saw a clip with Joe Rogan and Jocko Willink talking about Dr JP, and Jocko mentioned that the good Doctor knew things that he, Jocko, had learned "in real life".
    What distinction he was making is still unclear to me and I wonder if the world wouldn't be better if people could learn without having to spill blood or risk their lives. If reading a book is not real life, yet yields the same wisdom, isn't real life an awkward, backward, messy and wasteful place to learn things?

    • @boatrat
      @boatrat 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I saw that part of that interview with J. Willink. I do recall that the... whatever cynicism was in the tone of that remark about so-called "real life", to me, came across as a sort of self-deprecation. In any event, in context it seemed certainly clear to me, that far from disparaging Peterson's "intellectual" path to self-knowledge (and/or knowledge of human nature more broadly... I'd have to go back and re-watch to remember why the comment came up), he was more saying that while Jordan figured these things out with the admirable (rare) abilities of real analytical brain-power applied in the abstract realm, he (Willink) had to go through the trials of "learning it the hard way". The latter path being, precisely as you say, indeed a lot more... "messy", or at least inefficient.
      But whatever the route, the point is the end goal: the necessary right understanding of life and people's real roles (good or ill) within it. The trouble with "real life" -- which is exactly what makes it so messy as to need the "Hands-on" skills of a guy like Willink just as much as we need the Intellect of guys like Peterson -- is that of all those people in all those roles, very few of them do the necessary thought-work by EITHER path, to properly understand the reality they're living in. Folks are delusional about their own real EFFECT on the world system, first because they're deluded about the NATURE of the world's system.
      I may not be communicating this very coherently... but perhaps it would help to consider: without the messy side of human experience, the guys like Mr. Willink down in the dirt with grime under their fingernails and blood under their boots... Where then would be the historical context of tangible events (the real outward interplay of demonstrable cause-and-effect) within which to APPLY the abstract analytical abilities of the few guys like Dr. Peterson? Even if the theoretical philosophers of the world could explain the nature of things satisfactorily for their own investigations, it's when they're stuck with the unenviable task of trying to convey these lofty insights to the rest of us poor ignorant schmucks, that they need practical, tangibly provable examples to point to. Literal "object lessons", for the many of us who are simply, sadly incapable of real learning by ANY means other than "the hard way".

    As someone with ASPD. It's funny to hear him talk about having to meditate to understand how he could do a bad thing. I have to do that for good things, because good deeds, good actions, don't come naturally to me. I could so easily hurt someone close to me, as I could a stranger. But to buy that stranger food? I have to rationalize and understand why I'm doing such an action. What is the goal in trying to achieve, by doing such a thing.
    So it's funny for him to say that he struggles being a bad person, because I struggle to be a good person.

    I lived near the Ontario Hospital for the Criminally Insane. I was an educator who took a group of young adults to sit in on "workshops" of the inmates. We were in small groups of 10 or fewer persons: one guard/psychology therapist, 1/2 dozen or more inmates, and a couple of us visitors. The routine was talk therapy where the discussion was about an incident in the one person's life. These people seemed normal to me. Later it was explained to me and my students just what the history of these inmates was. They were all rapists and murderers. BUT they seemed so normal and everyday to me.
    This happened in the 1980's when laws and practices were more open and fluid. I went away with a deeper understanding of the shadow we all carry and of how narrow the line is between good and evil in our character. I tried to teach myself and young people to "look in the mirror" when thinking about individual and cultural and national evils. The book "Ordinary Men" looks at the personalities involved in Nazi atrocities and is recommended reading.

    I had a similar experience when I went to jail for about a month. I was crying thinking my life was over, next thing I knew, I had 20+ guys over me telling me my life wasn't over, that it would be okay. That's when I realized even criminals retained apart of their humanity, that the only difference between me and them was, they had it worse growing up. Then I devoted myself to studying about the human condition, and what it meant to be human. I regret my actions that led me to that place, but I'm thankful for the opportunity to see that side of the world. That even men who were cast away by society, could feel for others and turn away from their misdeeds. For a moment and another, I understood them. And that has made me who I am today. I'll never forget that.

      Ayo Fam I never said it liberalism and leftism were the same. However you are very wrong in stating that classical liberalism is right leaning. The right is defined by its support of institutionalism and institutional categorization and bias, whereas a liberal is opposed. The fact that most on the left oppose right wing institutionalism in favour of a different form of institutionalism is unfortunate, but coincidental. Liberalism is the polar opposite of conservatism, leftism is similar in many ways to conservatism. Regardless, what I said still holds. Of the 4 people mentioned: Sam Harris, Dave Rubin, Jordan perterson and Ben Shapiro, only Ben shapiro identifies as a libertarian leaning conservative. The other three define themselves as classical liberals. They have different moral ideologies, just seek to enforce them on the same way.
