I came to this conclusion a long time ago… Every job I ever worked I excelled in every position, so much so that I would get recognition quite a bit. However, I noticed that the coworkers who were lazy, but sucked up to the boss, and/or threw their fellow coworkers under the bus, were the ones inevitably promoted. once they get in that position of power over others, the work environment turns extremely toxic. I can no longer work in corporate jobs for this reason. Our society DEFINITELY rewards the narcissists and psychopaths… it makes a lot of people feel detached and isolated. I don’t want to “suck up” or harm my fellow coworkers to get ahead, so I won’t. We are told that working hard and being a good person will get you where you want to go. Then our society shows us over and over again that is not the case. We weren’t meant to live like this. Such a small amount of people succeed and it’s not the type of people you want running the world.

Yes, that is many of our experiences. But what do we do? How do we get rid of them? You can't stop them, not the psychopaths anyway. It's the narcissists that are the bigger problem because there are so many of them who need their asses kisses on an hourly basis. At least with psychopath you get logic. With narcissists, asll you get is "look at me, look at me, tell me how special I am". My god, they're sickening and they're all over politics, and social media, lapping up as much narcissistic supply.

1:32:33 As an autistic person, I definitely do not have a deficit in empathy. This is a common stigma. In fact, my entire life I’ve struggled with hyper-empathy. I do have problems with understanding what others are thinking, but I also know when someone is suffering and I can feel that pain as if it’s my own. Studies show autistic individuals are on average more averse to causing harm to others, even if this produces better outcomes for us. The reason some people may think we lack empathy could be because we display our feelings differently than neurotypicals and our facial expressions may not match our internal emotions. I make very little facial expressions even though internally my emotions can at times feel debilitatingly strong. If anyone is interested in autism, I’d suggest researching “neurodiversity”. We do not lack empathy, we just display it differently.

What is "toxic society"? You mean capitalism? That's the structure of our society.....it's not communism, it's not socialism, our society functions as a capitalist society. Capitalism rewards them, clearly. CEOs are beholden to their major shareholders. Their job is explicit: make capital gains at all costs. So things like social good and environmental sustainability become after thoughts in the pursuit of capital accumulation; therefore, some one who can genuinely disregard things that a neurotypical person would othetwise feel guilty about (bankrupting families, destroying the environment etc.) makes for the perfect CEO. If we had an economic model that didn't simpy pursue the accumulation of capital but tried to create the most sustainable good for the community, it wouldn't reward such people and certainly wouldn't give them so much power and privilege.

She was promoted fairly frequently--one year she was promoted three times!--until she became our Executive Director, which she has been for at least 5 years now. It's easily the best job I've ever had, and the reason I'm in exactly the same role I was hired for 8 years ago is that I've chosen not to apply for the many promotions I've been offered.

@@sarahlamb2333 More than likely a Borderline. In my particular case, I left him stunned…fight, flight or FREEZE, just by saying, “I don’t know what’s wrong with you…whether you’re gay, bi, or a pedophile.” I had just pointed out to him all he said in the usual bits and pieces such types impulsively spit out from their fractured minds, over an extended period of time. Despite that he twice denied being sexually abused as a child, I put all the pieces together like the puzzle they are, and then laid it on him. He froze. Then I got in my car and drove away. A week later, I brought him some info on childhood sexual abuse, but unlike before, his gate, with a No Trespassing sign on it, was closed. I could tell he was home, given there was smoke coming out of his chimney. But he wouldn’t respond to my texts to come out and talk to me. So I left. Then I put together more clues, and finally realized what he was. While Trump’s preference is to sexually assault women, this guy preferred children. I heard a detective say most pedophiles are males who were sexually abused as children. Do you know the stats on childhood sexual abuse before they age of 15? I’ve heard it’s 1 in 3 females and 1 in 6 males, although one highly respected Trauma Counselor, Diane Langberg, PhD, (here on YT and has a website,) thinks it may be as high as 1 in 5 males, given the fact that males are less likely to talk about it. Because they have been shamed and blamed, and makes are societally trained to “be a man,” “take it like a man,” and “just cowboy up.” They are expected to be strong. Don’t try you put your ideas on me since I’ve said this man gave me a case of PTSD. That happens a lot in situations of domestic abuse. While he was emotionally and financially abusing me, he was having ongoing physical altercations with his son when I wasn’t around. Twice he called me to call 911. He used me in Triangulation more than once. The local Sheriffs were already aware of him, since apparently it had be going on long before I met him. But he would always blame his son, of course. Shifting Blame and Irresponsibility are traits of a Psychopath. He would say his son was just like his father, as if being an abuser had skipped a generation, always playing Mr. Innocent. I went straight up No Contact after that. I did not pursue him in a Civil Suit for the thousands he got by means of Fraud. I knew he would twist things around and turn the courtroom into a circus of deception. This man now owns an AR-15, according to a photo I saw on FB a while back. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least that his end could very well be the result of a mass shooting he carried out. Oh yeah…one more thing. His mother was sued for Fraud by her brother in an inheritance grab of an $800K, piece of cattle land…mineral rights included. The whole family were Midwest cattle ranchers, and there’s a whole lot oil drilling in the Midwest. Just ask G.W. Bush. She got their elderly father to sign a Transfer of Deed Upon Death to transfer the property their father planned to go to this brother, thus changing it to her ownership. Three days later, their father was dead. The brother (my Psycho’s uncle), suspected his sister of murdering their father. She was their father’s Caregiver, and had been a Registered Nurse and had the knowledge to carry that out. And it was my Psycho’s father who had sexually abused him…in the back seat of a car…the only place he told me he experienced Claustrophobia. Incest, I’ve since learned, is more common in rural areas. The sheer number of childhood sexual abuse should alarm everyone. And in most cases, it’s not “Stranger Danger.” The victim knows the Perp. It’s either a family member or a close friend of the family…someone the child thought they could trust. Childhood sexual abuse makes for all kind of crazy, especially among males. Fortunately, of those 1 in 6, most DO NOT become pedophiles, but that is surely how they’re made. The victim becomes the perpetrator…..the predator to the innocent an unsuspecting.

That incredibly naive, malignantly PC comment reveals Choi's incompetence. Or at least lack of common sense.

The book that changed my beliefs was Kent Kiehl's The Psychopath Whisperer. The book is based on hundreds of brain scans that were done on psychopaths in the prison system. They all had abnormalities in their brains which he describes. I dealt with hundreds of anti-social personalities in the jail/prison system during my career. I enjoyed working with them when I began to understand that they do not experience certain feelings. There was no sense in talking with them about issues with guilt, remorse, empathy etc. What I talked with them about was consequences of their actions. Very, very few were 'hard core' psychopaths, those devoid of all feelings, with black souls who felt nothing; the ones who had a lizard's brain.They scared me.

I have trouble buying the proposition that it's all in their brains. I'm sure the differences exist, but think it may be effect, not cause. A neurobiological explanation comes extremely close to annihilating all concepts of good and evil. I'm not a gnostic. I understand quite well that we are corporeal. But I can't accept that these people have no volition. My hunch is that because the brain in infancy and toddlerhood is at its most plastic, the psychopath's extremely early commitment to evil causes neuroplastic change which accommodates their choice.

I agree 100% with the 37 experts when it comes to Trump. However, there is something seriously screwy about this guy's moral compass. Some of his claims are outright false. Psychopaths cannot be treated or reformed: they have a hardware problem rather than a software problem. They're certainly not "sick" and deserving of sympathy or lenient sentencing.

Well, I’ve studied Trump since before he took office, and this is a succession of disorders I came up with. Reactive Attachment Disorder (age of 2) - per Mary Trump, he didn’t bond with his mother, due to her difficult pregnancy with the next child, so she could not care for Donald. Also, Fred Trump told his wife she was to raise the girls, while he would raise the boys. Another disaster in the making. ADHD (adolescent years) the reason for his long time use of Amphetamines, including cocaine. Such drugs are “uppers” which would take him up and over the top, to bring him back down to relative normalcy. Had a friend many years ago who did this with here ADHD son. Conduct Disorder (early teens) the reason he was thrown into the Military Academy, in an attempt to straighten him out. His older sister, the Judge, referred to it as a Reform School. It only made him worse. See video “Trump vs. Biden 2020,” which includes references to their childhoods. Conduct Disorder is the precursor diagnosis required in the assessment of Psychopathy. Mental Health Experts are gagged by the Goldwater Rule, which states they cannot diagnose someone from afar. To do so means they’d lose their membership in the APA. But since I’m not a member of their community, I am free to offer my opinion. (Once a Paralegal, always a researcher, and I’ve done over 20,000 hours of research on Mental Disorders, zeroing in one the 10 Personality Disorders. I’ve also worked in both a Facility for the Mentally Disordered as well as a local County Jail, where such people often land first, prior to any formal diagnosis. Our prisons are full of Sociopaths and Psychopaths, the difference of which has been debated for decades - the nurture vs nature debate. But besides Psychopathy, Trump also has Narcissistic Personality Disorder in co-morbidity. And here’s what I find puzzling. Trump has all kinds of Phobias, per Michael Cohen, who has recited them quite often in his Podcast, “Mea Culpa.” I could be wrong about this, but that tells me Trump also has Paranoid Personality Disorder. That’s at odds with Psychopathy, which states they have no fear. Still, having spent 18 months in close proximity to a man just like Trump, he had this same succession of disorders, and the same three adult disorders. He even told me, “I’m above the law.” It’s a pattern. The similarities were remarkable. I just got done watching a Netflix documentary on Prison Inmates. Without exception, every one of them told of their child abuse. Also on Netflix there are several Trump-related documentaries. Besides those, I highly recommend to others, which clearly apply to him…. Inside the Criminal Mind (2 of the 4 examples used are Crime Lords and Cult Leaders) How To Become a Tyrant. (Six examples, and the tactics they use to become Dictators) Other references here on YT…. Bandy Lee - psychiatrist Justin A. Frank - psychoanalyst David Cay Johnston - investigative journalist, tax expert and Trump historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat - expert on Dictators So to me, Trump is a classic case of Psychopathy, and I am not bound to the gag rule, so I’m free to express my opinion. Study the line-up I’ve posited here so you know what to expect at any age. Hope that helps.

Contrary to the ridiculous reply left earlier (& resourced by Netflix, of ALL things, may as well have used "60 Minutes" or "PBS"- and Michael Cohen, who is a 8x convicted felonious perjurer/liar & Trump's sister who is also a known liar & opportunist), children CANNOT be diagnosed with psychiatric/psychological disorders as their age prohibits this. Recently, therapists have begun slapping labels on kids, much to the chagrin of their professional ethics & standards, just like ppl stepping out of their roles & diagnosing those whom they've never met; however, this is becoming more & more common. The "MedicaI lndustriaI CompIex", much more powerful than the MiIitary lndustriaI Compex (& responsible for more mayhem & more lives- over 250k ppl die every year due to medical errors, alone, & while over 35% of Americans are uninsured or underinsured, their lobbyists, our tax funded agencies, and ALL other of their combined income rakes in *OVER $7 TRILLION/YEAR,* which is 100x more than the Military lndustriaI CompIex). There are NOW studies released from 15 years ago which prove that SSRI's not only do NOT help depression AT ALL, but are downright harmful & especially so for anyone *under age the 25.* This is something no one is allowed to look at in regard to mass kiIIngs (w/FlREARMS) which EVERY ONE of them had in common! Something also never permitted exposed is the cost of all this gender medical care & ALL of them are on SSRl's, including the latest kiIIers. Another comprehensive study showed that more than half of all chiIdren now receiving care for GlD (Gender ldentity Disorder) have mothers suffering from either BPD or NPD, compared to the control group (under 6%)(pub. in jaacap- Journal for the Amer. Acad. of ChiId And Adolescent Psychiatry- Mar 1991). So, it seems as though we should be looking at the mothers more closely than solely at these chiIdren & trying to evaluate them. As the mom of four myself, I know this is hard, but it's true. And those pretending to be able to analyze someone from sound bites, stories from siblings or lawyers, and/or any or way, should be met with extreme caution & skepticism. Everyone & ANYONE who reaches a pinnacle of success not attained by many has done so through hard work & tenacity. It is true that SOME have achieved that status bc of cruelty & taking advantage of others, but to assume that ALL have is ignorant & just plain dumb. Like the other man replying, I too have worked with prisoners for DECADES & can say with certainty that those *_caught_* do NOT have the same psychological make up as those we're speaking of. Lastly, I find it odd that they omit Joe Biden, who has a 50 year record of lying to everyone about everything: His grades in school, visiting Nelson Mandela, marching with MLK, driving trucks/buses, writing the worst legislation ever in Congress (the 1994 crime bill), etc.

What's really missing from the current system of education is critical thinking. It's all rote memorization.

A major problem with Psychology is that it's professionals confuse individual identity with the illnesses individuals have. We don't say someone with cancer is a "Cancer" we say they have cancer and we try to help them recover. People are not their mental illnesses. Some diagnostic labels used are also questionable and do not seem to have any basis in objective science. There are definitely people who are stark raving mad, and they are pretty easy to identify without a battery of psyche tests. Beyond that there may be more subtle psychological illnesses, but the science of psychology is too immature to be trusted when it comes to the kinds of diagnostic procedures commonly used to classify large numbers of people in our population. I find it very objectionable to associate whole groups of people, i.e., CEOs and politicians with terms that are dehumanizing (monsters). Professionals in this field should steer entirely clear of such rhetoric, not merely because it is applied inappropriate, but because it supports a pattern of misuse of the procedures and resulting diagnostic procedures of the entire discipline. it is somewhat unclear whether many/most diagnoses (aside from psychosis) are describing problems that aren't simply general adjustment issues that more or less universal in the population, particularly during certain periods of acute personal difficulty. It is not merely that there is a range or scale of severity, but that there is not much real science behind the diagnostic labels. A test may detect this or that psychological problem, but if the problem is really just a more or less verbal description of a pattern of behavior that some anonymous authority has decided is a mental disorder, based perhaps on a consensus of professional opinion, which is not based on any scientific work whatsoever. This seems an apt description of most of the material in the manuals describing psychiatric disorders. Again, I am not trying to say that people do not suffer from mental illnesses, they obviously do. But IMHO we do not know how to approach these issues objectively and there is, within this profession, an extraordinary, constant quantity of loose talk that involves confident assertions about things that are simply not established in any rigorous way. Even the so called 'hard sciences' do not regard their theories as proven factual objective truth. Science sticks to theories that explain an important forms, patterns of change, etc., of the natural world. The most established theories are those that have important, disprovable predicates. I don't think there is anything in psychological diagnostics that can meet even the minimal standards of rigorous science. The mind is really one of the final frontiers of scientific research. We have no widely agreed upon theory of how consciousness works, or even what it is. It may be somewhat more reasonable to refer to someone as a murderer or as a serial killer, as this is simply conventional use of language to associate people with notorious, anti-social activity they engaged in. But a discipline that has the ambition to be part of the treatment of persons suffering from illnesses should be more careful about any sort of discussion that can be a pretext for discriminating against or dehumanizing persons or groups of persons. Historically psychiatric diagnostics have tended to be biased to reflect social, not scientific consensus, and often used to pass judgement of people whose views or behavior is broadly unacceptable to society, for largely arbitrary, context related reasons, and not based on anything more rigorous than that. Take for example the diagnosis of homosexuality, which was categorized as a mental disorder until fairly recently.

Before hearing this video, l was in a discussion with acquaintances about some horrific actions by some people and they were talking about punishment that usually included death of some kind. I said I wouldn't kill them and got astonished looks. I clarified my thoughts and stated " I would leave them alive but curse them with extreme empathy for the rest of their lives. This video seems to support that idea.

I really enjoyed this. Excellent presentation of complex information in a very accessible manner. Thank you.

When I was a child I was so shocked by the behavior of some boys who pulled out the legs of some bugs for fun. This experience hurt me so much. But to be honest there are so many movies out there that normal people can watch without true emotions, scenes that really freak me out. They say it is only a movie. I know it is a movie but it reminds me of the people who really suffer from violence and I just can not watch it for fun. It also makes me wonder why disrespectful or cruel behavior towards women is so widely accepted in society especially in sexual contexts. Even the women themselves seem to be willing to be treated badly, maybe to „please“ the guys? I am often confused by the acceptance of violence in people without a disorder like that. With someone like Trump, ist is not that disturbing if he behaves like he does, (though it makes us angry of course) because it is not surprising, but with people who are very morally sensible, if they regularly watch murder in TV Shows just for fun, I get really confused.

Psychopathy for some is essentially a huge advantage and can be used for good or evil the capacity not to feel certain emotions does not mean they can’t understand them and therefore base decision rationally rather then emotionally

No I have to disagree. If they can not experience some emotions then they can not comprehend them. Therefore their ‘reasoning will not be rational ‘ because they will not have the correct information to reason as another who does feel those emotions , comprehends them and others . A psychopath will be guessing using observational knowledge of others outward reactions which could be easily misunderstood as reactions are varied in many instances from individual to individual. An example would be the owners of bud light at the moment. They do not see what is different by using a trans person for advertising - they do not comprehend the outrage or the real reasoning behind the boycott. They lack emotional intelligence and so judged the problem to be one of ‘National identity’😂 . Sorry but I find it very amusing . It is an excellent social experiment to watch in real time . Very interesting to see how ‘dumb’ they can appear . Rather like Amber Heard . She didn’t comprehend either , saw nothing wrong in her behaviour or it’s impact upon others.

I read somewhere that sociopaths did have guilt but were liable to impulsively kill someone, whereas psychopaths were totally cold and would strategically plan out a murder and not feel any guilt. I'm so confused at why I have learned this and now I hear different explanations. Now that you have defined the DSMs definition of antisocial personality disorder being split into cold and calpus psychopaths and then others who have propensity for violent behaviour - that sounds more like what I think I learned was the difference between sociopath and psychopath. I'm going to have to try and unlearn wjst I learned.

I think you'll find that these terms haven't been well defined in the past. There are reasons why Psychology/Psychiatry hasn't gotten narcissism/sociopathy/psychopathy right. One reason is incompetence. Another is fear. Another might be that n/s/p was less common in the past. Yet another reason might be that it was in the n/s/p crowd's interest NOT to bring an explanation to light. 30-50 years ago, "narcissism" was not commonly known, let alone well understood.

It seems like psychopathy and narcissism overlap in many areas. I dated one of these and I didn't realize it at the time. I thought I was going crazy. He'd blame me for his own shortcomings. It was always me. He lied constantly, pathologically. Very promiscuous. I'd be accused of crazy things. I seen past a lot of these defects of character because I was lonely and I fell in love with him. Hes back in jail again and it's been a few months. We are done. I'll never go back again.

I’m not defending anyone or making excuses as everyone makes their own choices in life. One thing I’ve definitely notice though during my 30 year career as an executive assistant is that people in so called lower level positions greatly simplify what it takes to run any kind of large organization. Decisions at an executive level are extremely difficult to make. The level of complexity and the amount of heat a CEO has to take is not for the faint hearted. Not to mention the kind of hours they have to put in and sacrifices that are necessary to be made in their private lives.

I don't mean to be flip but all they do is make phone calls and sit at a desk all day. Honestly I'm not impressed. I find the people who do the actual work from the upper level down to the entry-level much more deserving of respect for their efforts. I fully admit, my direct experience is limited. I've never sat in the in the big chair of any large firm nor do I have any wish to. But I honestly do not believe it would be that hard. It's the legions of people underneath that CEO or whoever they are that gets all the jobs done, the CEO just gets to reap the benefit and take the credit. And for doing what? He might be the face of the company, but unless he's worked his way up from the bottom he doesn't know a damn thing about what they do or what it takes to get it done. I'm afraid this is a pretty common truism in life. If you feel you've worked for good people worthy of respect I think that's great. I'm sincerely glad you feel so, but as someone from the outside, of course I can't vouch for that. I tend to see all big business and the people who rise to the top and such a self-serving if not toxic environment, in a very negative light. I must say, if it's a large company, they bring all of that pressure on themselves now don't they? By wanting to be more ruthless, by seeing greed as a good thing and constantly wanting to expand, constantly wanting to screw over more workers, to exploit new markets, to drive more sales no matter what the cost?? To constantly seek expansion, instead of being satisfied with the often very impressive current profit level and market share, is this not true?? It won't come as any surprise to you that as a hard Leftist, I am extremely hostile and feel judgmental towards all big business, so I'll be frank about my bias for clarity's sake. I do think most big business is absolute trash and it prizes trash people and a trash philosophy of "win at all costs". That is my operating perspective and so that informs my judgment anytime I try to impartially casually evaluate and judge these so-called "great" CEOs and business "leaders". I find the cult of the belief in the "great business leader" in Western culture still quite common. You see them due to your personal connection as wise people trying to balance many plates on a rod and make wise calls. Perhaps in a some cases this is true. As an outsider I see see them differently. I'm not saying there is no place for business or the for-profit sector at all, but in my gathered judgement, ALL bigger business corporate structures are inherently toxic, the only variable being one of degree. When a 'maximum profit at all costs' is your only operating value, it is inevitable that those who lose out sooner or later are the workers, local or overseas communities, localized environmental/ecological hazards, and/or the consumers themselves.

To be a forensic psychiatrist is my dream!! Currently in my last year of high school and this has really invigorated me into continuing to pursue this interest of mine, it’s simply so fascinating! It’s so interesting to see how the lines between nurture/nature and personal agency are blurred in these cases and I’m extremely passionate in strengthening our understanding of these alternate configurations of the brain, generating empathy for such people who are usually afforded none so as to be able to properly diagnose and treat them without pushing them away from society. It’s remarkable just how much genetics goes into criminal behaviour, even extremely taboo conditions like pedophilia (I shouldn’t have to say this but, just because there are predispositions, acting upon these impulses is absolutely, inarguably wrong and should be met with intense retribution), are being linked to malformations in the brain. The idea of possible treating these ailments, or at least studying them in order to aid in the sufferer’s rehabilitation and trying to make it possible to live a life close to ‘normalcy’, is such a motivator for me, I can’t think of anything that makes me more passionate!!

I had the similar thought with epigenetics and PTSD. The thought process of, grandparents and/or great great grandparents, ancestors in general (really depending on the time line of the individual psychopath.) Being the PTSD hasn’t really gotten much attention until relatively recent years, ie. the great grandparent is in WW1 suffers PTSD, comes back and the children grow up with the their parent having PTSD, “changes” the kids DNA (to that to have a smaller amygdala, lower function VMPFC, etc) but being they are not effected but then turn around and pass the DNA with the “changes” down to their kids. Which in then gives them the biological basis for psychopathy. Then dependent on the severity and/or environment, produces the type of psychopath. I hope I got my thought process out clearly.
