I worked in a prison and will never forget a convicted child offender say to me “ having one drink doesnt make me an alcoholic, smoking one spliff doesnt make me a drug addict, what i’ve done doesnt make me a paedo.” He had been proven to have offended at least 40 times. The gaslighting -lies and distorted thinking i will never forget 😢

Everyone in the neighborhood thought my stepfather was a great guy. Behind closed doors molestations, beatings, mind games, etc. I found the courage to put him away.

I used to work in criminal court as a stenographer. This man was arrested and plead guilty to raping his own daughter from age 3 to 5. He had taped every instances of his act. I will never forget what I heard that day. Absolute evil.

A true story about the psychopathic personality and their ability and skill at manipulation. I had been a police officer for seven years and was employed at the time with the Glenwood Springs, CO. police department. During the time I was there, I had the unique experience of superficially dealing with an inmate who was incarcerated in the county jail charged with murder. After several interactions with him I remember telling my colleagues that there was absolutely no way he had murdered anyone, and my experience made me feel I was correct. Embarrassingly that man was Ted Bundy 🤕

TB’s first kill was at the age of 11. He went to my high school, several years ahead of me. My social studies teacher had a picture of him on his door. He was sitting straight up with his hand folded in front of him with a slight smile on his face. The rest of the class is talking and laughing to each other. His disconnect from humanity was evident even then. I asked my teacher why he had a picture of a serial killer on his door and he said something I will never forget. Evil sits among us planning evil deeds and by all appearances is innocent. Most of us never see it coming. Don’t believe it could possibly happen, it’s so horrible. He told me to keep my eyes open. Don’t be deceived. I will never forget it.

"allowing the spirit of sin, that would otherwise crouch on your doorstep, to enter your house and have its way with you" that line gave me chills.

Tim Ballard’s comment “something non-human has made them less human” is an important one, I think.

"all cruelty springs from weakness."

I did 7 years in a penitentiary for robbery I went to extremely dark places on the inside. The regret and pain sent me into a extreme depression to the point I was praying for death. Honestly reading your book and watching your lectures saved my life. I can’t overstate how grateful I am. Thank u so much.

I was like 6 or so, but a neighbor girl who was about 13 I guess was walking me home. A car stopped and its occupants started calling us over. She ran me through the woods and to my parents house. I'll never forget that day, I would have been dead without Amber.

There was another serial killer either in Russia or Eastern Europe - I think he was known as the Chess Board Killer. He was a happy out going little boy until he had an accident being smacked pretty hard over his forehead (pre-frontal lobe area) by a swing in a park / playground. His doctor checked him out and couldn't see anything too alarming apart from a pretty impressive bruise and lump. It wasn't long after this incident that he started to become very moody and withdrawn, his whole personality changed. As he grew older it became worse - he was very self isolated. This breaks my heart, to think that he'd have most likely led a happy and normal and productive life if it had not been for that freak accident as a little boy.

The problem with having compassion for these type of people, trying to understand them, or hating them is that NONE of it has any bearing of the life long devastation they’ve left in their path.

This really describes how ALL evil develops, from the most graphic to the more "acceptable" (say, alcoholism or drug abuse). We willingly violate our conscience a little bit at a time, pushing ourselves further and further along inch by inch, until one day we wake up and we're miles away from where we started. This is why it's so important to guard our thoughts and actions at the beginning, because almost anything can spiral out of control if we don't draw clear lines that we REFUSE to cross under any circumstances.

I experienced bullying for years at work. From adults, all college education, but they got so persistent and nasty and creative with it...I never understood how come so much joy from open cruelty can exist in some people. Happy to finally break your spirit. That makes them feel good and then they twist it in front of others and make you the bad guy. I'm forever fascinated by this kind of weird cruelty against your own species.

Many years ago my supervisor was worked in the psych unit at the hospital when Buddy was brought in for evaluation. He said Bundy was so very charming, smart, funny, and “normal” that not one person believed Bundy had done what he was accused of. These were experienced and savvy psych nurses and Bundy fooled them all.

If you have bad thoughts. Tell yourself you don't want think about it. Keep doing that regularly, like a training. Result speak for itself. Just remember you are meant to reject the darkness.

The thing with sociopaths is that they tend to be master manipulators so they may portray themselves as completely innocuous in public, but are able to flip the switch behind closed doors.

As my momma taught me when I was little. I asked her if monsters were real and she said YES. She said "yes honey, they are real but they are disgusted as human beings, that you have to be able to see through their masks" I was 7 years old and I truly think one of many things great things my parents had taught me, this one was the one of the best ways to teach all people. Young and old. I added when I got older (only 31 now) that if you see that monster, you see that mask, you rip off the mask and expose the monster to all to see.

As a diagnosed Sociopath and I wanna give my pov on this topic. I need to point out that we don't feel the private emotions (shame, guilt, remorse, empathy, etc.) We don't have a reason to feel those things. We aren't emotionless, but our emotions are limited to certain extend. I can't speak for all Sociopaths (we can be different), but each one of us can choose to be "good" or "evil". I personally am tempted in many ways, but I choose to not to be evil. Not because I feel sorry for others, but I understand that there are consequences and it leads to self-destruction. For me personally it's pathetic to take on someone younger/weaker! I might add, that we tend to create certain personalities based on another people. We tend to reflect others and do it well, we have a good quality of observation skills. We can manipulate easily, therefore we can be very persuasive. In many cases, emotions are learnt and are only layers, which if you were about to peel of, you'd find an empty person. Many of us are only empty creatures, hurt deeply in the past (mostly childhood). I personally visit the psychiatrist, so that I keep an actual person inside and not just a reflection of others. Our psychology is very difficult, but I chose to not to be evil (as I said already), but to even make good things/decisions and keep myself satisfied. Some of us on the other hand choose not to, what I do understand. Everyone chooses their own path and their own shit

The take away from this is simple : TRUST NO ONE!

My daughter fell in love with a good looking cult leader, the abuse starts small with words, but keeps elevating, it got so severe, my daughter was beaten until she was unconscious, woken back up, beaten again. My daughter refused to leave him and they non stop traveled to avoid me finding them. Luckily they were in a state that the victim doesn't have to press charges, he beat her in public, a witness pressed charges and I got the phone call to come get my daughter because he was in jail and she was homeless and broke. After nearly 2 years in jail (out because of over crowding), he now stalks us. The police are on our side, but the DA won't do anything, despite numerous online, detailed threats, of him wanting to kill my daughter and our family. I don't know why we don't have laws that put evil people in jail for life! Especially when there is so much evidence against them (he did this to other females as well, it is documented).

I spent several years in various chatrooms catfishing out predators, and it was very disturbing, you could easily tell after awhile the differences between those who just had some taboo fantasy they wanted to play out fictitiously (who were largely non-offenders) and those who were legitimately obsessed with carrying out their evil wills upon others. These deranged individuals aren't always the socially inept hygiene-challenged weirdos you typically would associate with such, some were outwardly friendly, charismatic, kind, personable, able to hold a conversation, and would take their time nurturing their own sadistic fantasies to reality. There were always justifications and measures of control they exacted over every aspect of their depraved lusts. It makes you realize that anyone could potentially be a predator, and it's not just the sleazy looking old man on the corner, it could be the sweet old lady in the church booth. I think it's equally important to recognize the capacity for great evil lies in the heart of every person, and that it also lies in your own heart as well. To recognize that evil can manifest itself anywhere is the first true step towards being able to combat it when it rears it's head.

Bundy approached me on the West River Drive in Philly in the 1970's. I had no idea who he was at the time until I saw him years later on TV. I was one of the lucky ones. His eyes have stayed with me forever... like a shark

I always found the morality of killers interesting. They act and speak about their crimes like it's just another day at the office. When you hear them talk they can be so well mannered, articulate and even excited to tell you about themselves. How you and I would speak about say sports, music, video games, weather, relationships and all that. It's so trippy like dude you rape, torture and murder people. No shame, regret and compassion. The only regret I've heard from serial killers is typically their last kill or attempt that perhaps they failed leading to their arrest or something. Once in a while they regret their first as it's sloppy or/was risky. They refine their predatory nature, techniques and become better at killing. It's with a lot of trial and error. It's a sport or thrill to them. Sadists are from another planet.

It reminds me of the downfall of an addict... at the very beginning, you never expect yourself to do evil or turn evil, but the farther down the rabbit hole you go, you pretty much loose all of your previous self and turn into someone you never thought you would be.. those of us lucky to get out of it r reminded of our evil deeds constantly. ❤

Tim Ballard has sacrificed his life and sanity to expose this evil in people. God bless that man a thousand times over! 💔

I'm here after watching The Hello Kitty case for the third time. I just can't believe how such people exist. I'm scared. But, what these videos (of true crime) have taught me, is that we should ALL appreciate our lives. Whatever good or bad things and people come across it, it's our life and it couldn't be better at the moment. The purpose of our lives is to improve ourselves, and improve other people's lives as well. We're all here to learn, and to teach each other this important lesson. I wish you (whoever it is) good luck and a true love for the life that you have and to be grateful for it. Thank you

“If there is evil in this world, it lurks in the hearts of men.” -Trinicus D. Morrison (Tales of Phantasia)

The terror Ted Buddy caused for teenage girls in our Utah community was real. My husband went to high school with a girl T. B. Murdered. I think it may have been T.B. Who followed our school bus full of girls from the drill team, cheerleaders and pep club after a high school basketball game. He was doing unmentionable things to freak us out. We were aware girls were disappearing. I also, know a woman in our neighborhood who accepted a ride from T. B. When she was a college student. He offered her a ride one other time. She declined. She’s lucky to be alive. He integrated himself into the community among his victims. Some people thought he was a normal, nice guy in their social circle. Evil man! I still hesitate to go out alone at night.

This man came along at the right time for this ‘anti’ social media Internet addicted narcissistic society. A breath of brave fresh air, old school values / outlook, 20 plus years of clinical psychological professional knowledge, and some middle aged Male Wisdom, all rolled into one.

I find it surprising how people think of evil as something you can put an ugly face on, disgusting even. If it was true, why would people still gravitate towards it? My own opinion is that the evil has its own beauty and it takes a lot of strength to resist it. And that strength is what makes you special.

From the Birth I had the unfortunate luck of having a mother that was both narcissistic and mentally ill. She use to sniff nail polish remover and had developed holes in the brain because of the chemicals involved ( but she was a narcissist of the highest order. She convinced two highly respected doctors that she had a new form of cancer that they were going to name after her, until I opened my mouth and mentioned that maybe the chemicals in the nail polish had something do with it.) To say she was abusive is an understatement. When she hit me she would only ever hit the back of my legs, so she could hide the abuse with long pants ( years later when I confronted her about it she told me that she had lost control and did not know what she was doing, If that was the case why only the back of the legs. A place where she could simply put long pants on me to hide what she had done.) As she was hitting me her face would contort into this hideous deformed creature one of pure hatred, and the closest thing to evil is the only way I can describe it. When I talk to people about this, to a person, they all say that I either, imagined it, or I exaggerated it. Then they love to explain to me that she was mentally ill, and not responsible for the things she did to me. ( I just LOVE that. As if it never occurred to me the she was not right in the head and that I must forgive my abuser all that she did to me. (Dose that include the fact that she told me the she wanted to have sex with me as an adult)) The things that woman did to me and said about me could fill a book. I learnt from a very young age how to read people and understand that it is not what people say that matters it is what they do that determines the kind of person that they are. In my teens i fell into the trap of looking into the abyss, and dived head first in. It took me a few years but I crawled my way out, and now am stronger for it (do not suggest anyone try it, But just know that it can be done!) The first step is to not care what people think, easier to do than you think, why care about some persons opinion of you if they have no part in your life.Then all you need to do is understand that if a person says a bad thing about you, it is a reflection on them not on you. After that guess what! You will have a lot less drama in your life! This is just a small window into my life. Next week boys and girls we will go into the messed up world of my so called sister ( even bigger narcissist than my mother, and almost as crazy, ALMOST)

I am old enough to remember the 1970's, counterculture, communes, 'do-your-own thing' etc. What few people know to this day is that there were a LOT of predators molesting children in the free love communes and the whole hippie ethos of sexual freedom was a choice camouflage for predators. I am sure there are many thousands of children who were victims of that time and place and no one has ever spoken to and for them.

Working in a field that has many sociopaths, even though it was awful I learned what I needed to know. Not everyone thinks like you, don’t ever assume they have good intentions, telling the truth, etc. I was so naive it was beyond belief. I would wonder why I chose a profession that has such a high number of sociopaths, I truly believe it was divine intervention by God to open my eyes before I got terribly harmed. God is good, and I am forever grateful for having my eyes opened to these evil people even though at times it was painful and confusing.

I was a graduate student in communication who worked with Ted Bundy’s lawyers during his trial of Kimberly Leach. The question was could he a fair trial in Orlando. We developed a phone survey which included a road map of questions depending upon their answers. We called adults who were subject to jury duty. During the course of each interview They would surmise we were referring to Ted Bundy or we told them we were. And in variably younger women (under 65) would say he was handsome first and second that he was charged with some crime. Older women and men (regardless of age) first said he was charged with murder. A jury of young women was his best bet.

For the last 3 years I've been fantasizing about torturing 2 child predators that live in my neighborhood. Does that make me evil. I don't feel evil. I just feel like someone that has had enough of the evil in this world. The torture part isn't really for punishment, it's more of a warning to people that want to harm children. I couldn't sleep if I killed a normal person. I'm pretty sure killing monsters would be like feeding ducks. I would enjoy it. If I don't do something, who will?

Jordan, i hope you read this. Here in Chile, south america, we have children issues. IT was normalized S abuse younger than 12 years old. Just a while ago, in a Talcahuano school (Search colegio talcahuano niños abusados) and many others, the school board and some educators brought in some "Doctors" for S education... It ended up with a whole class of over dozen children being paraded without their clothes, made to do "poses", have their private parts "measured for health" and touched everywhere for a crowd of adults and what angers me the most, the story is being removed from the net to make it look like nothing really happened and it was exaggerated. And last thing i heard, after this incident blew up, dozens of schools are reporting the same thing according to their parents. And its getting worse every consecutive month. Lets not forget the Trans issue where "Tearches" attempt to convert kids and make them swear to not tell their parents. The same is happening with S abuse, the school employees make the kids not tell their parents, but this time, it was to much for the kids to hold and told them, then it blew up

My friend met a guy in jail who was so content and sociable amongst other prisoners you'd never have guessed he killed his wife and children for his wife cheating, apparently the way he spoke about it was if he was proud of it or something, these kind of people really buy into their delusions

as an 18 year old girl with three sisters, this is so terrifying. We don't just have to look out for thugs in a dark alley. We have to watch well dressed men in hallways. Family friends. restaurant workers. men of all ages. I used to think when I was little "if he has a lady walking with him that means I'm safe cuz creepy guys don't get married". if only it was that simple. when I was little I thought my dad was over protective cuz we had to tell someone if we were going out front to check the mailbox. now I just paused this video and realized me and my younger sisters are home alone, so I went and turned the house alarms on. I'm writing a research paper on the connection with feelings and instincts to our personality and identity, but I didn't think I would be so emotionally moved by this clip. so interesting and so terrifying

I've commented a lot of videos on psychopathy here, just encountered a female psychopath who literally has tried to make a career out of validating psychopaths, abusing people's empathy. Perverse delight, perverse novelty kick indeed, can I try to destroy an innocent's heart by living out their greatest fear.

My sister, who died at age 49 lived a wicked life. She was beautiful, she was athletic, she was book smart. She was also cunning, conniving, and evil. At 13 she started having sex, doing drugs, drinking. My parents were very left wing and didn’t discipline her. I believe now that she probably had a mental illness as well. She wouldn’t work so moved from man to man to support her. That soon turned to prostitution, drug addiction and alcoholism. She had two kids. Her kids are messed up. She was living with an old man and got pneumonia, she used cocaine to help with the pain. It killed her. She made my life a misery as a child and by the time of her death, I hadn’t seen her in 20 years. I didn’t want my children anywhere near her. The trauma I lived through from her abusing me has colored every corner of my life. I have overcome my childhood because of Christ. Evil exists. Satan exists. God exists. God is greater than Satan. My life is a testament to that.

Many years ago I knew a man who felt sexually insecure, but was a sadistic person. I looked him up online and there was a photo of his face.I looked into the eyes, and for then first time in my life I felt my blood run cold. Something in the eyes.

The discussion of how evil people can be visually indistinguishable from the rest of us reminded me of a line from the film version of Lord of the Rings. "I think a servant of the enemy would look fairer but feel fouler." We aren't born with the necessary level of discernment to consistently distinguish even the level of evil discussed here. It must be developed. You can get some capicity from experience but the most trustworthy source is the spirit of the Lord. Which you can't have if you aren't deliberately trying, and to a sufficient degree succeeding, to be righteous.

Evil tends to appear as attractive, which is what makes it so tempting to some people. From out of the mouth is the heart revealed. We all are capable of Good and Evil; we are all human. And the thing that keeps us from slipping is maintaining the balance within ourselves. I do believe that no one is born a criminal, and I do believe that some of the worst offenders are basically created by how they respond to extreme trauma. But as with all people, we are creatures of free will. I myself relate to What Dr Peterson was saying about bitterness and resentment toward the world, fantasizing about revenge, and violence. I have even prayed for the destruction of the world. Wanted to watch everything burn. But what kept from that path was a desire to love those who love me. After my dad died, I was more able to work on myself. After my childhood I was able to choose to avoid certain situations. After I lost my greatest love due to traumatic violent crime, I was able to start getting professional help. I find myself realizing I never really had any control over myself. I was in survival mode always, just trying to keep myself safe from everyone else. And I felt incredibly alone. I feel for anyone who loses themselves to that evil spirit. Where they feel so alone that they suddenly feel empowered to destroy everything around them, including themselves.

That's what scares me about every day people you interact with. You never know who the sickos are. I decided at some point just not to interact with the world anymore because I've had enough of the sickness brought upon me. The world just keeps getting sicker and sicker. I had a very hard time allowing anyone around my kid, but she at least was protected. I was not.

The problem is they’re taking over our classrooms now and normalizing what would be significantly “evil” to my grandparents. I just imagine where we’ll be when I’m a grandparent, and all of a sudden those same “French intellectuals” are back, but they’re actually allowed to get away with it. It’s like...ok at what point do we stand up a society and say “No more” THIS IS TOO FAR. We’ve crossed the line...when does that happen? If in 2 generations they reduced the age on consent down to these same elementary school children learning everything they are these days in the 3rd grade...where do we go then? Do we leave America to just let it burn in ruins? I mean, I think people forget we’re still a young nation by most standards, if you look at the rise and fall of other empires.

Jordan is such a wealth of knowledge. This field of study is so interesting.

What me scares me now most is my impression that the internet is a bottomless pit for endless micro-violations of disturbed minds. 😮

I remember some people accusing Bundy of lying about pornography so as to refuse responsibility for what he did. But I'm quite sure he was telling the truth. Porn was already dangerous in the 1970s, imagine today with the free access to all possible violent fantasies online and the constant glorification of the worst aspects of sexuality.

This is all so true. As someone who’s ex is currently imprisoned for breaking into a home and molesting a 5 year old girl….no one believed it. The night he came home and confessed needing an alibi, even I was shocked and thought no way. Even tho he was a living hell to me personally, he was super well known in our area and well thought of. Very charismatic. I was shocked that when I turned him in, the police told me there was a crime matching what I told them reported that night. But most of the town didn’t believe me. I should have known long before I did but I thought he was a just a cheater and drunk. Had us all fooled. I knew something wasn’t right when he openly plotted to murder his ex wife but since he drank all the time I really thought it was just drunken rambling. My eyes are open to it know and I have traumatic dreams more and more often about his release date coming up next year. I very much fear he will hunt me down and torture me and my family. Evil absolutely does exist and it hides itself in plain daylight. Unnoticed by many at times.

Evil is an INHERENT human trait. It will NEVER be eradicated.

Thank God for James Peterson, especially being Canadian, we really needed some sanity here after all we've been through the last few years

I haven't watched this video yet - my first reaction to the title is that 'dark behavior', as with any behavior is addictive. That's why any sane or rational person, out of caution, NEVER EVER allows themselves to pursue or stew on an unhealthy fantasy or behavior. Logic teaches us, that each time you let your mind 'go down that path' - the temptation to take one step further will happen. Never let your friends talk you into 'minor shoplifting', never let the boyfriend talk you into making a 'private sex video' for him, never participate in any behavior that is unhealthy. All paths start with a first step. Now I'll watch the video and see if I've paralleled the message within?

The evilness of Mankind from one to another and how they justify it upon others is truly amazing. Please keep up the great work Dr. Peterson all you are doing is making us more aware of the vileness of the mentally insane.

Gentlemen listening, I say this with the utmost prudence. Stay away from women who are obsessed with serial killers and true crime

I wrote a book on the subject of "evil" and am considered an authority on the most heinous forms of criminality-- serial killing, mass murder, sexual offenses, etc. One would say, "evil people," one would say, "people who have often and regularly committed acts which might be called evil." There's a distinction.

As a former police officer/corrections officer I can tell you evil is very easily disguised as something beautiful. I"ve seen that inhuman look in the eyes of these people. It is very disturbing! The Bible tells us we war against an unseen enemy and it speaks the truth. These people are either directly controlled or manipulated by something horrible. Something beyond the comprehension of the majority of humanity.

I certainly admire JP for his deep compassion when it comes to what he believes in, and often he does touch on the dark side of us. I've studied Carl Jung and I think he would have appreciated Jordan's determination to achieve wholeness. I know I do.

I’m a firm believer of the statement “be careful where you resonate that” because when you said everything he said absolutely resonated with your experience, that resonated with me too and it actually turn out to be not only overstimulated but quite unpleasant too!

evil is always a combination between miseducation, supression of anger and possibility.

And older friend from church used to say: “sin doesn’t stay in the same place”. Words of wisdom.

On the overuse of pornography, I would say don’t use it at all. It handicaps the brains ability to have healthy social interactions with real people.

As someone who suffered a lot of childhood traumas and was a bright an intelligent kid I could have easily gone down the bad path. We all have the capacity for evil and all it takes is a push and the switch can turned on. No one is 100% good and no one is 100% bad. It all comes down to choice, genetics and life experience. Some are born evil - makes me wonder why? All I can say is if it gets to a point where you are so far down and in darkness and your heart and mind are corrupted - seek help before you do something stupid. Turn to god, he always listens - I know because I’ve been there. The human mind is an enigma, one that we will maybe never crack.

OMG! This is what I'm saying. Thank you. Right down to the overstimulation, the Hollywood effect of everything at your finger tips, and lack of abstaining from extremely physical intimacy like it is the acceptable norm.

Having empathy for others prevents us from turning into evil monsters.

The depths of sickness of the ego and soul have no bounds. This is the saddest part of being human.

The way Peterson described evil, especially the pedophilic evil, is the exact feeling I get when I encounter an overly flamboyant homosexual or a drag queen. I also feel especially weirded out when I hear stories of LGBTQ homosexual males that masquerade as priests just so they can violate young boys in the church. It's just a revolting feeling I get and I instantly look for a way out of the situation. It's just something about people like that that gives me the creeps.

He describes A Clockwork Orange perfectly. After watching it recently, I think Kubrick was showing our sympathy for people regardless of their morality. I'm so blessed I don't have fantasies. I am fallen for sure and we don't realize the damage sexual things take a hold.

"Some people aren't looking for anything logical like money. They can't be bought, bullied reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just wanna watch the world burn."

Some people are just born evil. They were not beaten, they did not have bad parents, they had a good life.

People need to understand what we're up against. It's not a game or a coincidence. Life itself is spiritual, and if you aren't covered by the Kingdom of God and protected by the good shepherd, you're vulnerable to the wilds of the devil. Thank God for good men like these two guys. Most people want to know 'WHAT' happened, but the people who have an impact on society and make a difference ask 'WHY.'

First I started with carrots and thought nothing of it, then I went deeper down the rabbit hole and started eating sweeter fruit like apples until I took the fantasy one step further. Now I eat brownies and I walk amongst normal ppl and they have no idea...

6:10 that idea about the 'nondescript nature' of evil reminded me of Leonard Cohen's very short poem "All There is to Know About Adolf Eichmann." I think that poem is exactly what Peterson was saying. You look at a photo of Eichmann at his trial and he looks like just your bookish librarian uncle. Never would one assume he was one of the architects of the Holocaust.

Speaking of people who seem rather normal, I'm still haunted by the story of Chris Watts.

In the late 1980’s I worked at an auto parts store and one of the salesman was I’m guessing in his 40’s and married. Several times he walked by me and touched my backside which really really bothered me. (I’m a male). I complained to the business owner and he seemed to blow it off like it wasn’t his problem. Another day I was up by the front counter and the creep salesman walked laterally behind the counter with his head turned a little towards me, looking at me not saying anything. Behind his eyes I saw another set of eyes “ghost like” and immediately I knew that he was possessed. I believe that within about 6 months he was fired but I don’t know what for. Thankfully he was gone. A few years later in the early 1990’s a man matching his description tried picking up a 5 year old girl and this was just blocks from his house. I then called the police and they had me come in and talk to an undercover officer for about an hour telling him all of the above plus more. Officer said ok thank you for telling us that and from here we legally can’t tell you anything that we do with this situation.

I believe the more constantly the perverse behavior is repeated, it becomes an impulse or habit. Then in order for them to indulge, they have to fill a bigger and bigger void. They may branch out to new perverse behavior. It changes the personality which changes their entire reasoning skills.

What scares me the most is with how much ease people do completely evil actions. It is NOTHING to them. What angers me is how easily they can be stopped at the beginning, yet the majority is just compliant. What disgusts me and empowers me is how evil is petty. I spent all my life trying to understand what is behind it, some secret meaning of why they act as they act, yet every time, their reasoning is as petty and weak as it can be. Evil people lack intelligence. They seem intelligent only because intelligent people don't count on evil people's stupidity and pettiness. They openly tell you their stupid evil plans, and it is so hard to believe that your brain just misses it.

There is a very famous study from Stanford many years ago where the students were devided into correctional officerz or inmates. It took only a few days and the CO's became very sadistic and abusive to the inmates. When all were students

The irony that Jordan was speaking with a psychopathic predator and had no idea. Truly terrifying.

Its sickening the level of evilness that walk among us. The most messed up part about is you dont seeing

Doctor, please discuss the fact that boys can be victims at the hands of evil women. Female predators go unnoticed in society because of the belief (maybe subconscious) that women cannot be evil. Also, the normalisation of sexual scenes in Hollywood where a fully grown woman sleeps with a teenaged male, for example, stifler’s mom from American Pie. Please, raise awareness that there are probably as many male victims of abuse who suffered at the hands of women and that there are a lot of female predators who are never caught hence does not show up in the statistics.

What is most scary is realizing we all have the capacity to choose between good and evil. We all have the capacity to be evil.

As an education assistant we would often get the warning at school that like....2 guys in z black van were stalking girls walking home etc. I always knew it was serious, that someone had thought about that for a long time before they decided to act on it. Porn should be illegal. It is one big toy box, that includes child porn, illegal trafficking of women and children. The worst of the worst is in this toy box. You don't get to touch anything in this box without being a part of all of it. I wonder how many men would stay involved if they saw the star of the show being beaten, drugged and raped behind the scenes?? It is the exploitation of the weak, small, neglected, impoverished, abused. It is all evil in nature, you lose any conscience as the Bible outlines. Where are the parades Jordan for men against porn???

I just received my Master of Arts in Experimental Psychology. My interest is the development of psychopathy. I have a research proposal in the development of psychopathy in sexually violent offenders to go along with another possible research proposal that I am still putting together. I am wanting to find out what part of the brain produces our inner monologue and of those who have psychopathic traits (Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD)), do they produce the inner monologue as well? Additionally, is the inner monologue associated with consciousness (state of awareness) and conscience (knowing right and wrong)? If there is an association between the inner monologue and consciousness and conscience, and if a way to discover the origin of the inner monologue is created, then possibly finding the critical stage of the development of psychopathy and bridging that gap could be found. Thoughts?

Beautifully said. It's the battle field of the mind. James 1:12-15 Romans 12:2 We either wash our mind in light or darkness, and like losing weight investing building muscle or many other things it's a slow process so we don't really notice when a point of no return is passed. Like going to sleep we can't pinpoint the moment we went from awake to asleep but generally know in which state we are in. It's a spiritual battle between discipline and undisciplined in truth.

If I could have a 10 minute daily convo with this man I would heal all wounds. These humans are so rare.

I'm a very loving human being but I love criminal psychology and all my friends and girlfriends just don't relate or understand glad to know there's people just like me out there though (like JP himself😅)

The worst thing about evil people is they know they are doing it, the same could be said about when do gooders do no good it's evidently worst on a mass scale.

Evil comes from the human heart. We are all capable of great evil and if you don't know that it will come out of you when you least expect it.

What I like about a deconstruction of this sort is it can prevent people who are still sane from becoming the next Ted Bundy or better yet, still stop the next serial killer and create a New York top 10 best selling author who still stops the creation of a serial killer. If it's done right.

Love you Tim. Thank you for all you do for children. You are a true hero. Thank you Dr. Peterson.

I would rather listen to this guy ANY DAY of the week than someone like Dr. Phil. Joran P doesn't hide or sugar coat anything. I love this guy and his videos. Thanks for this. 👍

One important thing to note is that it all starts with spirits. Demons isolate you first, then bombards a person with thoughts and emotions to warp and twist. The seed is always from the person it seems tho.

Real, true evil doesn't go about twirling his mustache or polishing her horns. It passes amongst us, hidden. This is why vampires and werewolves are such enduring monsters. The idea that the random, non-descript person that you pass on the street might be a brutal killer.

I wish I could explain what happened to me when I was a child, and the loosing battle I’ve been fighting for 40 some years. But I can’t. They say it’s not what happens to you it how you handle it, and I did not handle it well at all.

How the hell did Jordan Peterson manage to forget Ted Bundys name 😅

Everyone goes through life of the conviction that their experience justifies their actions. Destructive people are damaged people. No gods, no devils, just relative perceptions. Humanity IS as it shows itself to be.

What’s even more interesting is Ted Bundy explained the dangers of pornography and the damage it caused. I think there can be no greater warning than from someone who has ventured far enough to the other side of what awaits there.
