“When you pee on society, society gets wet. When society pees on you, you drown!” Well said! 🙂😉👍

In a litter of puppies, you will have different temperaments. Some might be snugglers, and one might be a biter. Humans are the same, in my opinion, but it is less obvious because we have one child at a time.

If every person was a psychopath, there wouldn't be any society.

This is very interesting. I find it interesting that some of the greatest men in history where non-conformist types and we're often hated by their contemporary peers. Some people may have said they were mentally ill as well

You are an amazing man a wonderful teacher. You have changed my life forever and I cannot thank you enough❤

Your opener’s are always so great- the sarcastic humor is spot on… and much needed around heavy topics like this 🙏🏽

People often think that something might have traumatized me. But as far as I remember... I was much more unhinged during my younger years. I got kicked out of 8 schools before I was 12, but I had loving parents and a great family life, nothing was traumatizing me. I wasn't just bullying, I would punch teachers in the face, burn furniture, vandalize property and mess with girls just because I was bored in class. My behaviour changed when I was hospitalized for a year because of an accident. That accident made me much more reserved and calculated than I would have otherwise been. I'd say that accident trauma helped me to become colder instead of fly-off-the-handle angry I used to be. After that, the only times I got uncontrollably angry was whenever police got in my way. That too is rare now. I made up my mind at age 25 to intentionally leave my criminal career that was a source of great power for me. I know that I might be easily triggered to do something criminal again if I hit a low again... but other than that, if everything remains as expected, I think I can control myself. After watching this video, I am glad that accident happened.

Saturday fun! Thanks so.much!

You’ve made some absolutely solid points in this video. Every bit of this discussion makes complete sense.

You mentioned something at the beginning of the video about the actual anatomy of the brain being different in psychopaths? And then towards the end you briefly mentioned the group of psychopaths that have no conduct disorder behavior in childhood. I'm wondering if you can do a video and discuss the relationship of psychopathy and the issues I just mentioned. Along those lines, I'm wondering about brain injury (like some type of accident that physically injures the brain) during childhood possibly being related to the development of psychopathy later in life. Thank you

Appreciate the long videos 🙌🏻

Finally, someone intelligent who isnt living in cloud cuckoo land! Consentrating on childhood/parenting skills. Prevention is better then 'trying' to cure at a later date. The damage is already done!! This should have been the priority. Its just common sense. Not alot of that about though, thats the problem! Thank you Sam, this topic has frustrated me for years. If only we had stricter rules to become parents. If we were to have to abide by the adoption regulations. We would see a deamatic decline in mental health in future generations. Mental illness/health produces more mental illness/health. Common sense!! When will the officials get into the real world! Rant over! Thank you for your comon sense and your high intelligence ❤

I absolutely agree, that Anti social personality disorder shouldnt be a diagnosis, but they should be filed in court whenever they commit crimes. You have many very good points in this video.

Been learning about my mother with your videos appreciate it!

Thanks again for such an interesting talk

I haven't found a drug yet that can get you anywhere near as high as a sitting at a desk writing, trying to imagine a story no matter how bizarre it is, or going out and getting into the weirdness of reality and doing a little time on the Proud Highway.

Another banger, and you know I swear there’s something about the thumbnail, like the guy looks sooo 😊familiar I just can’t quite place him… haha

This was great, married to one for 20 years, and this makes so much sense, picking up the pieces of mine and the kids lives not so much fun, it’s definitely a tornado even 5 years after leaving he doesn’t stop, it’s the same as the day I left if not worse trying to destroy me still even with all my walls, as less contact as family court allows etc 1500 kms away, doesn’t stop him

Real good stuff. Glad there some good info on the disorder on KZfaq. Me and my 5 siblings have it. Raised by 3 different families. ( adoptions) it's VERY genetic

There is a swedish-norwegian documentary from 2021 called Psykopaten and it's very interesting, tragic and telling.

The valuable tool that we have now, compared to decades earlier studies is MRI and specifically functional MRI scans which show brain abnormalities and what activity is taking place and where. Extraordinarily valuable tool - but expensive.

Verry interesting story. Thank you for this reading. See o lot off paterns and behavior in my toxic, relations because i m dealing with many toxic and mental people around me.

Great video😊

Would love to see more progress in the study and treatment of the 'ASPD

I was once diagnosed with Antisocial disorder,bipolar with psychotic features,Schizophrenia,Severe depression,adhd and ptsd in my early 20s,yes more than 5 mental disorders but yet im not actually mentally ill enough to require constant medication,although ive used marijuana to self medicate for many years,after 1.5 years on meds that had terrible side effects and allergic reactions to,almost killed me i refused to take them anymore.

Thankyou very much I agree 100%

It was found about ten genes connected to psychopathy, so it might be genetically predisposed.

As someone diagnosed ASPD at age 50, I couldn’t agree more! The only reason I got the diagnosis in the first place was because my family ordered a police welfare check on me (I wasn’t answering their phone calls) and when the cops came through my back door and found me smoking weed, they started to go through the process of confiscating my stash charging me with drug possession. A criminal record for drug possession would effectively ruin my government career so I was furious. I verbally abused the cops while they were on the phone to my family who were telling the cops that I was behaving completely out of character bla bla bla so they had me involuntarily committed to a psych ward for 30 days. I was so angry at having my career ruined, my freedom stolen, a drug charge on my criminal record and my weed destroyed, I gave them hell in the psych ward. They refused to acknowledge I was angry for a valid reason. They claimed I had no insight into my behaviour when imo it was the damn psychiatrists who had no freaking insight! I now refuse to mask up anymore and my family has disowned me thinking I’ve destroyed my mental health with drug abuse LOL all because I spent a lifetime choosing to not be anti social. It seems to me it’s the so called average intelligence neurotypicals who are the issue with the world. They’re the ones who need laws to give their own lives meaning and direction. I wish I could give your video a million likes, you’re spot on.

OK Shoshannim

best video on this topic

Excellent 👍❤

As a person born and living in Pittsburgh Pa, where one of the studies took place, I'm curious about that. What do they know, and is there a reason Pittsburgh would have more of them here? I've seen a plethora of psychopaths in my 52 years. There is something not quite right here.

Aah I wish I understood English better to understand everything, but with what I got, it's amazing

Great video Sam. What is a highly functional psychopath ? Thanks

Hey Sam, I’ve noticed in a lot of online spaces with younger demographics (i.e tiktok, instagram, tumblr, etc.) there is an idea that BPD/NPD does not make a person abusive. The argument is that a diagnosis does not make someone abusive, but the person with the disorder is just a bad person. I am philosophically opposed to the idea that people can just be “bad”, or abusive for no apparent reason. That leaves me with the sticky situation of over-generalizing a group of people suffering from a disorder. I don’t necessarily like that either. Id appreciate hearing your thoughts on this. Wonderful video, as always!

Interesting content. Keep up the good work on your channel. Regards, WR4K.

You are the nicest ❤

I really like your persona😊!

I was under the impression that psychopathy could be identified by a particular gene. Not so?

I love the way you say "marijuana." ❤😁

I did not expect to hear Hebrew. Lekavod Li.

Great concluding remarks there. One possible approach might be to define maybe something like a "pre-disorder", in which the individual doesn't end up committing crimes or hurting others, but has similar socialization patterns - has problems with intimacy, career problems that have roots in socialization. Such people may have developed alternative strategies/cognition that could help figure out exactly what goes wrong in the case of the person who has the anti-social disorder?

When you talk about having a lack of impulse control as a psychopath, can a psychopath learn to control his impulses or have some kind of discipline?

Yes, I agree - your intro is funny

How do you know whether someone is a psychopath. I wouldn't know a psychopath unless they had a sign on their head saying 'psycho'

Can ptsd as a adult combat veteran cause anti social disorder due to extreme dissociation.

Oh an episode about me ❤❤❤😂

"The problem is that the diagnosis relies on criteria which are behavioral." ❤

Im not having fun, im having understanding what the hell happen

Yay for red wine 😊xxx

I'm diagnosed with aspd. Feel free to ask questions im hard to scare away.

Is narcissism associated with psychopathy?

This was unfortunate to hear haha. But very well done

Was diagnosed with aspd. She said to describe me the best she could, that I would rate high in factor 1 psychopathy. I was always real charming. But some people could see tight through me. A mask or social camouflage is always something we have to work on.

everything i wanted to know happened in the first five minutes of this video

Sam is good craic!

Love his haircut. Super handsome!

Thank you 40:00

The nonexistant remorse of to for exploiting one, stuff... 🤺💐

Could it be that the brain of a child makes an assessment of “is the society and/or family in which I live based on love or something else?” If the community is based on love, the child develops “normally”. If the community is based on something other than love, the child is inclined to develop a personality disorder, one that helps them fit better into their unloving environment.

This guy is punk rock as fuuuuu

The laws are very often wrong and should be broken. If we all challenge ridiculous laws maybe they will go away? I mean we have to try right?!

Why isn't bipolar included in the ASPD category? you mentioned that people with ASPD also have diabetes, but then again, a lot of people with bipolar disorder have diabetes too. I almost can't tell the difference between the 2 conditions, because many of the behaviour symptoms of ASPD and bipolar seem like they are the same. I'm somewhat confused.

And serial killers

Could be genetic for some.
