    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.

    Wrong! Human aggression and sex drive are influenced by Testosterone, and men have soooooo much more testosterone than women. That’s why men commit like %90+ of the horrific acts. Remove the testicles of men who can’t control themselves. We remove the testicles of cats and dogs to make them less monstrous; the same can be done to human males.

    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.

    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.

    Dennis White 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.

    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.

    If you do a good job raising your kids to be strong, independent, self-reliant adults, guess what? They leave you and go make a life for themselves. 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. Most disgusting parents realize what will happen when their children grow up, so they work to inculcate dysfunctional neediness in their children.

    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.

    @@compassbrian Sorry didn't clarify. Was talking from Swedish law. 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'm a lawyer student for prosecution of criminal cases, so take that for what it is. I'm not fully done with the school yet so I could have done some mistakes. :)

The look on his face was pure joy, sure he was snarling, but his eyes were blissful, like an opera singer hitting the perfect note, or the artist having a breakthrough on some masterpiece etc - I think they used to call it bloodlust - but in that moment you could see perfect happiness

    My personal experience. I got jumped by 10 cowards and got battered with baseball bats. I took at least 60 wacks or more. My left side of my body was more or less fully bruised and lumped. 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.

    It depends whether the suffering comes from an external source (cold weather, hunger in times of famine, predators) in which case you will help others not to go through the same experience, or whether the suffering originates from a human choice which didn't need to be as cruel as it was (prison sentences, police brutality, particularly vicious family breakups). 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.

He asked how I knew him and I answered with a smile, he gave me a good plea agreement. He got really nervous after that.

    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.

    I think about this sort if thing all the time and never heard someone have the same opinion as me. Even psychologists talk about evil at times as if its some mystery some are just born with, and it can be a relief to believe that, that you are incapable of committing such an act, that you're above it. 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.

    mrRufffnTumble when I was young, if provoked to fight, I would try to get out of fighting, I would blackout in the fight and who knows how far you would go? Kinda like the series the hulk, without the green monster or all the clothes, my father did stop me after I was attacked in the street in front of the house. 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 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.

This is why I feel a lot of compassion to many people who have committed heinous crimes, not that through that compassion it can justify murder, but just that the mind of that individual has often led them to chat choice in a way that many other people would also be led if they had followed the same path

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.

    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?

    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".

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.

Peterson then said that he had thought there was a qualitative distinction between those guys and himself, and that he was a good guy, and so he could never do that. Then of course he said he realized he could. I took him to mean that he could pulverize someone's leg for something like being a snitch (which many people would think only a truly "bad guy" could do), as opposed to taking justice into his own hands for some horrific crime like the ones you described (which many people would think not only wasn't a bad thing to do, but was actually morally justified).

    I have that element of violence and malevolence in me, I recognized it quite early on. I can very well imagine to kill and torture somebody to death if given a good reason - that's what I would prefer in case I want to act out true revenge. In worse times it could manifest itself in the desire to want to "set the world on fire and watch people suffer." I also clearly saw myself as a viable sniper - which would be a mixture of willingness to sell my soul to the military and cause death in a more or less approved form (war). I was quite a leftist back then... that changed with Peterson and Molyneux. I am not violent at all... but the potential, and even more so the suppressed urge to act out in insanity towards people driven by irrationality still prevails. It would be more a response like this: "So you people want to screw around with me and expect me to accept it like a coward? Do you people only understand force and violence? I will teach you true fear, and show you that you can't hide behind the mechanisms of bureaucracy. You will die, horribly, one by one." Either way I think it might be a good source for writing books. One thing I would really like to write is a story which follows a main character, which starts of as humble, good, nice, harmless. Then he has access to supernatural powers, which drives him to act it out for "good," which over the course of the story renders him more and more malevolent and power hungry - as his increasingly radical desires to shape the world around him fails. It should expose the gradual corruption of the main character from the beginning to the ending in the archetype of how power corrupts. It should show the gradual change of his personality, but also how everything malevolent was always in him. As he grows near omnipotent, he still despises humanity as a whole, and is very well able to act it out viciously. The reader should feel sympathy for him, as he is passed on from each single step in his story, his achievements, his failures and his thoughts. The evil wouldn't have an own embodiment, there is no villain to defeat. In the mind of the main character there is, he is obsessed with the concept of good and evil. At some later point he considers himself beyond good and evil, and even humanity itself - he considers himself having transcended mortals, and demands to be worshiped as a god, which he basically became. He considers his doings to be part of him "recreating" humanity to his design - to which death, even if in the millions, is just a necessary step. The actual "villain" could be however a character, who also got powers, which do barely anything - but render him immune to the powers of the main character and negate it. He would be the embodiment of freedom, the defiance to power - and his character would reflect an attitude of wisdom. To the reader he is only seen as an external character, an opponent, to whose thoughts they have no access. He just occasionally stands in the way, and neither is he defeated nor victorious. He is treated like a villain, yet he is the actual hero - from the very start to the ending - consistently. He neither had ambitions about affecting others' life or actively saving them. Would he be just the same if the powers were swapped? Or are they drawn to the powers based on their personalities? Or are the powers drawn to them?

Keep that in mind the next time you’re yelling abuse at a waiter or hurling personal insults at a bank teller- it pays to be respectful to everyone, ESPECIALLY people you don’t know.
