Antisocial Personality Disorder (AsPD, psychopathy) is not a clinical entity. It is a societal-relational mental health disorder, exactly like Narcissistic Personality Disorder. What predicts psychopathy and predisposes one to become a lifelong psychopath?

  • “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.

    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.
  • @Doidao-xx5vf
    Been learning about my mother with your videos appreciate it!

    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
  • @LizEarthAngel3
    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
  • @ljgfb
    Real good stuff. Glad there some good info on the disorder on YouTube. 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.
