For those who commented on the shortness of this talk: TED is a banquet of possibilities for the speakers and participants alike. The longest talks can be a maximum of 18 minutes. Then there are 9 minute talks, and then 5 and 3 minute presentations. I was alloted 9 minutes. Normally, the core subject matter I discussed takes about 50 minutes to present, but this talk was really about how I found out during my research that my own family had these skeletons in our own closet. Ouch.

Jim Fallon here. Tomorrow night, Wednesday, November 18th at nine PM on CBS, there will be an episode of Criminal Minds that is based, in part, on this TED talk. In the episode, I play myself giving a focussed lecture on transgenerational, sex-linked, violence and its relationship to continued violence in war torn regions of the world. The executive producer/writer Simon Mirren did a fantastic job of capturing the core theory in an excellent dramatic crime show episode. May be worth a look-see.

Narcissistic side of a psychopath inhibits(usually like is in Fallons case) to admit to the fact, that our current state of affairs in general is in a huge risk to lead all the complex life of the planet to go extinct. This is due to characteristics of psychopaths. In the big picture, we are in a huge risk to destroy such a huge portion of our habitat, that we do not have the capacity for ex. secure all the nuclear power plants(resent findings from ocean floor sediments near Antarctica shows us, that the sea level will most likely rise abruptly & not by any "smooth" exponential rate..), methane from Laptev Sea is going to come up(nobody knows exactly how much, but posses a huge risk of Earths average temperature to rise several degrees Celsius in just few years, AI coming self aware i.e. conscious and operating in a way that humans are not able to control "it"(can be Ai created by Ai and so on, thus ") etc. Human hubris and specially psychopaths arrogance(special kind of hubris) might be a leading factor to our species utter and complete die out. Very important topic and also want to Thank You James Fallon to address this issue, even he lacks the part of the brain to really understand the risk he 7 his appears cause to all living things , or maybe better put just doesn't care, thus doesn't cross his mind.

Many psychopaths say they kill not for pleasure but the urge is so overwhelming. When there is brain damage involved to the inferior prefrontal cortex (medial orbital cortex and medial prefrontal cortex) Some of this depends on WHEN the damage occurs.

It should be noted, as he did in "Dr. James Fallon Discusses the Traits of Pro-Social (good) Psychopaths." that many famous people we adore as heroic were or are psychopaths.

Gadding, These genes such as the MAOA and vasopressin receptor gene (and other) are not 'psychopathic' genes, but rather gene subtypes (called SNPs) that code for a protein, usually a neurotransmitter related enzyme that alters the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain in development and later in the course of postnatal, adolescent, adult behavior. Some of these alter aggressiveness and can, in combination with stressors, associate with violent behavior (not murder per se). Jim

It's rare for psychopaths to do this. They fundamentally don't have emotional empathy, can't form emotional bonds, and can't reason about their potential regret for future actions, so instead they generally operate on ego, pleasure, and hate, often feeling superior to regular people. "Why should I change? I'm great!" Even Dr. Fallon, after learning of his own psychopathy and committing to be a better person, did so from a place of ego and not from a place of genuine care for others. It's possible he had such a good upbringing that he'd internalized the idea that being a good man provides better social status, and so sought to attain it. He said in an interview that he regularly asks himself, "What would a good man do?" But he's not using it to cover evil deeds - he's never been violent. Oddly, I have immense respect for that. Even with his own brain working against him, he still made the right choice.

And a quick google search confirms common SSRIs do cross the placenta and into the child’s blood stream- just to get that one out of the way. I’m using antidepressants as an umbrella term for ssri’s- because they’re also prescribed for anxiety disorders, ptsd, PMS, phobias- most things that involve mental anguish.

Hey Doc, really a great video yours. I'd like to hear more about it, a shame it's so short. By the way, I've been wondering: you said that that MAOA gene was the cause of increased violence mainly on males. But a gene like that wouldn't be the favorite one to evolution, especially to early human kind? And by being so interesting to survival, isn't there any genetic answer that sets killing actions only to non-human beings? How is that explained? (will you by any chance be on ted again?)

@tasnimulsarwar9189

I'm 12 year late to this but better late than never. That gene doesn't necessarily impede it being passing down. As in, it can and does have an evolutionary advantages. Sure, early humans were very much tribal and there was fierce completion with the other hominids ( Neanderthals, Denisovians and so on) but there most certainly was intra-species competition as well. All of it was most certainly exacerbated by the scarcity of our hunter-gatherer lifestyle of thousands of years. That gene may have helped some individuals most suited for survival and may even have benefitted the tribe they were in. I've seen people discuss before how it was not all collectivist or individualistic but rather depending on the context, in various different places on the spectrum. In short, there must have been some evolutionary benefit to it and thus it survives till this day. Hope this helped. As much as a reply that is 12 years late can be.

I'm glad to see it tweaked your interest.

As though They think another person has taken over me. I'm A-Flat becomes even though I'm angry I feel calm. My dad says when I'm in a stressful situation he uses the metaphor that "I hold on the fingers of the ledge." As though I don't feel stressed out to do anything about it.

The "angry but calm" thing, to me, sounds like a psychopathic state of mind, since they can feel anger & adrenaline, but not fear or anxiety, which would explain your focus while in that state of mind. I've heard some refer to psychopathy as the "warrior gene," as well.

I was brought up as a child to avoid violence. The gene causes the individual when angered become aggressive. Think of it a volume level on a mixer. Most people when angered may go to a 5, but people with the 3repeat with go to a 10.

The questions that you ask I can ask but once again does it mean anything? Not really, because if their intelligent they will pretend to be like everyone else. Remember people with aspd deceive others, manipulate people, have superficial emotions that help them survive though other people around them. Like Ted Bundy, Gary Ridgeway, Edmund Kemp. No one knew they had any idea that they where killing people.

However in places where there are a lot of violence, the potential benefit from traits like these diminish as the average. Benefit of social interaction deteriorate. Traits like these are held in check by the fact that they are beneficial in small quantities in rare situations but if everyone had them then society would breakdown and people would benefit less so those traits wouldn't be passed down. That's the dynamic equilibrium and why psychopaths account only for 1% of the population.

Luiza, Humans have selectively bred dogs for many thousands of years for specific purposes, in an attempt to amplify those wolf behaviors desired for varied human purposes. But some other changes occur remarkably quickly in canines. In a study done in Russia on wild foxes in the 1950s, it was found that after only a couple of generations the foxes become docile, friendly to humans, and even take on new coloration patterns much like domesticated dogs.

Yes - it proves that the money invested in quality social provisions can have a profound affect on society. The nations with less anti-social behavior seem to be those that invest the most in protecting abused children. Scandinavia has a brilliant record in this regard. Social workers actually move into troubled households and take an hands on approach to assisting dysfunctional parents. If this doesn't work - the children are then placed in foster care.

Perhaps a little pique did sneak through, but I wasn't exactly trying to academically filter my thoughts either. That said, I take your point, but stand by my postulation.

His theory explains the question posed by Steven Pinker in earlier TED talk (A brief history of violence). Steven Pinker noted that historically violence decrease exponentially. It seems that Jim Fallons gene concentration theory implies a feedback loop. And feedback loop can explain why the violence decline is exponential.

Really like this guy.

Very interesting. I'd like to say something in defense of Lizzie Borden. She not only was not found guilty, but there was suspicion that the murderer was (I believe) her uncle. Odd how we seem to assume she was guilty after all these years.

Iwanatt, To continue, when the damage is early let's say during the first 3 years of life, the adult psychopath may not really know what they are doing is wrong. If the damage is later, let's say 7-12, he may know it is wrong but feels overwhelmingly driven to carry out a violent act. Think of it as a fundamental drive like the need to take a leak. You can hold it back for a while, but the outcome is inevitable.

I salute you.

It’s weird how a psychopath will admit it because they are extremely manipulative by nature and revealing who they are to the world would mean that they won’t be able to manipulate as well.. manipulation comes naturally for them which makes sense how he charmed people.

In korean humor community , captures of this with mistranslated captions are popular " I found out that some of my relatives have potential to be murder" "But now, it's ok because I eliminated all of them "

Okay I just watched it, this way way better than Jimmy Fallon :D

This is still an open question concerning Manson. If you conclude that he masterminded a series of nine murders, then there is good reason to conclude that the he used those kids as the murder weapons, and that he was indeed a serial killer. But as you infer, this is not the usual meaning of serial killer. There is a nexus of the law, psychpathology, and common meaning here, and there are no bright lines separating these three domains.

I think it is a good speech as everything is clearly explained and it is not too difficult to follow. The biological terms that he uses are sometimes difficult to understand, but because there are also a lot of humorous elements in this video, this is made up for. Very interesting is that he researched his own family tree and found out that he is related to Lizzie Borden. However, I do have a remark on Lizzie Borden. Jim Fallon implies that she is a murderess. Although Lizzie Borden was never found guilty of the deaths of her father and stepmother, she was acquitted. Furthermore, there are also theories that it is possible that other people were responsible for their deaths, for example her uncle or the father's illegitimate son.

What is the base rate for the characteristics you've found in serial killer brains? If your OWN brain looks like that of a serial killer, why doesn't that invalidate your theory? What is the sensitivity and specificity of your ability to detect a serial killer based on their brain type? Can you please send me any papers you have that has this information? Thanks . . .

What happens if a pregnant woman takes medications or drugs that increase serotonin levels - will that create serotonin resistance and the same problems in the fetus (later child) as the genes Dr. Fallon is talking about? Or what if the fetus has the genes and his mother also take those drugs or medications while pregnant? Will that make it worse?

Someone needs to tell PJA down there to be careful on assumptions like that which could lead them into a heap of trouble throughout their life.

Isn't his name James Fallon? or is Jim his nickname? Nevertheless, it was interesting to listen to. God job!

care to explain to me how you can compare this with stuff like ufos or ghost hunting?

In my experience, the only way you could get him to feel guilt was if you caught him red-handed. The only time he would feel bad would be when he was interrupted and unable to finish his next scheme. A psychopath seems to be focused only on themselves. For some, they have a narcissistic personality disorder. They are not concerned with anyone else, although they may feign that concern to get someone to trust them easily. Their ability to feel guilt and their consciousness is impaired by the psychopathic brain damage talked about in this video. Their impulse control is also damaged, which leads to many impulse killings.

Lo sentí apresurado por explicar estos temas o es que pusieron un limite para evitar extender estos temas con más profundidad. Quizás porque deja en evidencia a muchos políticos o personas de renombre con poder o dominio sobre los demás.

Hello Dr. Fallon, What's your opinion on free will?

I recently read about some clinical trials that have had success treating psychopathy with a combination of psychedelics and therapy, activating those dormant areas of the brain and strengthening the neural pathways.

🤔🤔 very interesting. especially considering the govt experiments back then when they would test drugs like LSD on people without then even knowing. That was during 50-60s. I remember a documentary of them drugging a small town in France i believe, they put LSD in the towns bakery bread and everyone was tripping like crazy, children and all

Why is this so short?!?

How is it any different than reducing a computer program to 1's and 0's?

Wow that explains the comonality of the image of the psycho mother with the pack of murderous sons common in so many stories.

Reading, memorizing and living by what is said in Mathew Ch5 helps a lot.
