      It's strange to see all the people in the comment section essentially celebrating victim blaming because it was framed slightly differently. But he is right, if we want to make serial killing harder to pull off, we need to start taking some responsibility for our own safety. It's not hard, do not get yourself in to situations where you are vulnerable, you don't have to be super paranoid, just don't be stupid and ask yourself if it's a good idea to put your trust in any person that you expose yourself to.

      How would you protect victims? You can't assign a police officer to everyone of them, you could install cameras everywhere like we are doing but that is very dystopian and I don't trust our states with that kind of power. So ultimately, the way to make victims be protected is to make them protect themselves by taking responsibility for their own safety by putting the onus on them to not expose themselves to unnecessary risk and if they do the implication is that it is partly their fault if something happens and hence victim blaming.

      Famous case study in usability / engineering-design. War time engineers were tasked with improving planes to be less vulnerable to getting shot down. They only had the *surviving* planes that came back bullet-ridden, but flyable. The straightforward military wanted to armor the areas most shot at, ignoring that the planes had survived *because* those areas weren't critical. Meanwhile the planes that had been hit in the other seemingly "rarely-damaged" areas never made it back at all, and so were never counted.
      We make this same cognitive mistake _all the time_
      E.g. In entrepreneurship, we interview the rare success stories as if they're visionaries who knew exactly what to do. Versus seeing them as lucky unicorns who didn't fall prey to all the common pitfalls that claimed every other business (bad timing, public opinion, workforce issues, etc)

    Cameron Britton's portrayal of Ed Kemper is the most chilling portrayal I've ever seen. Not just because of accuracy, but because of believability. The way he can so calmly describe what he did to his mother without too much anger and no pride is crazy. It just sounds so matter-of-fact. The way he touted being friends with cops and they actually didn't want to arrest him because they didn't believe him. But then at the same time, carrying on perfectly normal conversations! Quite perfectly blending in. It's terrifying that this person actually exists. Cameron deserves all the rewards for this portrayal. Gave me nightmares and even more trust issues.

    Fun Fact. I watched an interview with a criminal psychologist who said something very interesting. He said that dangerous sociopaths are a really really small minority *among* sociopaths. He said that most sociopaths are completely harmless. They in fact, are usually the most law abiding, middle of the road people you'd ever meet. Neither lazy or hard working, normal to the point of abnormal if that makes sense. He said that dangerous sociopaths are usually ones that can feel some emotions that most can't. Like they don't feel guilt but do feel anger or jealousy.

      No Country For Old Men isn’t trying to replicate a serial killer you donkey, if anything the embodiment of death and the surrogate of the movie’s ultimate meaning. While his character is more symbolic than nuanced and fairly unexplained, he shows potential to do whatever he chooses, yet he chooses to be death and abide by his law; I do not think his psyche should be analyzed, but rather what he represents. Sidenote, chigurh has an unwavering philosophy/set of principles to him that he even respects to a fault shown near the end of the film; the natural world’s game of chance in a godless and amoral lack of karma.

      Excellent stuff. Of course he commented on some of the best serial killer movies and tv shows. The Dexter analysis is a little bloated. There is a moral hierarchy and who knows if Dexter kills for this reason but he certainly tries to only kill very bad people who have slipped through the cracks of the system, for the most part. He loved his wife and kids as much as most husbands do. Just likeable in many ways, not that anyone or serial killer in the world is a Dexter though many out there try to kill for good purpose, like crazy religions, countries still do, and are not as good as Dexter is.

    The series 'Mindhunter' is probably the best show I've seen in past 10 years, it's a must see if you like this genre. It's by David Fincher and is co-written by legendary, retired FBI agent John E. Douglas (he hunted serial killers, caught many).

      Cant say about David's audience specifically@Morahman7vnNo2 But you get a very specific kind of heckler at psychology lectures, and it's nothing like comedy show hecklers. I've only seen it a few times, but because you're given opportunities to ask questions, usually its someone who is either a little crazy with outlandish pseudoscience theories, or someone who has a specific obsession with the speaker, and attends to try to have a 1 on 1 in public, hogging the limelight for far too long, trying to and 'show them up'. It's very uncomfortable and confusing in the moment.
      The first time I encountered it, I actually left mid-talk, because the interrupter gave off a jumpy, menacing vibe, and I was 2 seats away... But I doubt there's anyone like the creep in "Copycat" doing the throat slit gesture - it's so cartoonish, I doubt anyone at David's talks would be that obvious.
