- Is there such a thing as an evil person or are we really just a species with a huge potential for evil? Dr. Julia Shaw reckons it's the latter, but it's not all bad news.
Dr Julia Shaw is author of the 2018 popular science book “Making Evil: The science behind humanity’s dark side”. She researches criminal psychology at University College London. Her work has been featured on TV, radio, in print, and online, with outlets including such as Discovery Channel, BBC, CNN World, Russia Today, Der Spiegel, New York Magazine, The Guardian, WIRED and NPR. In 2016 she published her bestselling book "The Memory Illusion", which has been translated in 16 languages. Besides her research, Dr Shaw is a regular keynote speaker on the topic of memory hacking. She also consults regularly as an expert on legal cases, particularly cases involving historical allegations.

So sad that so many comment on her good looks, this is about her talk! She is a very successful, intelligent women and I admire her for the part.
You did a very good job, DOCTOR Shaw!
... but be real, you want her to be your psychologist not only for that brain. She has some good messages but also potentially dangerous. Are people that go forth committing heinous acts mentally unstable, incapable, and ill? Yes. But that doesn't make the line thin between someone like Ted Bundy and us any thinner. Trying to blend a crimes of passion / anger with a calculating serial killer or ruthless dictator is quite far-fetched.
She's clearly a very intelligent, incredibly attractive woman, and great speaker, but I sense some of that Mindhunter sympathy going on here. It comes with the field, and someone might go on to try and blend what is actually right and wrong. Then that leads into blending what is humane and not humane. Gets a little dangerous.
I disagree. Her talk was good and she is clearly an intelligent and competent woman. At the same time, she obviously put effort into enhancing her physical appearance for this performance. Thus, one must assume that she sees her physical presentation as a significant aspect of her performance in addition to the content of her talk. Why, then, is it wrong to comment on her good looks?
In my view, her talk and her looks are two separate issues. I don't think commenting on her looks detracts from the value of her talk. Her talk would have been just as good a talk if she were not good looking. The fact that she's also beautiful just adds to her appeal.
@@user-vr9xg3oq5p you are smitten ! but you have no critical thinking ability.
@@dudeguybro And to be real, her talk her highlight why she attracts the bullies. She's a very attractive idealist... and her point thought well taken... are points that have & will exist. It's simply the individual vs. environment question... basis bio 101. Or psych 101.

Theres NOTHING dangerous about this insight. Its one of the most important topics we should be addressing.
One of the most important conversations we should be having. People don't realize what so-called regular people are capable of doing. Look at wartime violence, look at lynch mobs. Our history is filled with horrific stories. Thank you Dr. Shaw.
Amazing talk. It’s a shame it only has 85k views because she says some really important stuff here.
This is so crucial yet difficult subject to talk about. And she does it brilliantly. This mindset changing talk of whole society. Bravo!
"It doesn't Justify, but its helps to explain"- couldn't have said it better myself.
It's so sad to see the level of "critical thought" in the Western world is that trying to explain a phenomenon is trying to justify it. If people tried to be more inquisitive Dr Shaw wouldn't even need to qualify her point like that.
Are you refering to Dhamer's comment about being lonely?
Every person is a collection of factors that make up the person. One factor is not the whole of that person.
She’s brilliant!!!
money changes our relationship with morality.
Yeas, money corrupts people.
Morale can't buy hamburgers
That's because you don't understand what money is, and you don't understand it because you have the wrong philosophy, which has corrupted your morality.
@No Lümpen that's a good vantage point i haven't been looking from.
@@Avidcomp agreed though.
BRAVO !
Thank you so much, Dr. Shaw ❤
Love/admire your research & have the utmost respect for you 🙏 You’re so extremely knowledgeable & well spoken. Thank you, for this insightful Ted talk. 🧡 Looking forward to more Ted Talks 🕉️
Wow, this is at such a high intellectual level, I can't handle it! It's like, did you ever think that sometimes the thing that appears bad isn't always that bad, but also the thing that looks good, is in fact really bad?? Whoah, noo way, I've never thought of it like that. You're blowing my mind over here! Great talk! Such a bright, young woman, a true inspiration for us all.
this sounds so sarcastic in my head lmao
@@johughes48 that's cause it is. Condescending to add
Yeah, like joining the military or serving your country; from the surface it might seem like a noble patriotic act, but actually, they commit the worst atrocities on mankind. Similarly, chasing money/profit; seems selfish on the surface but is in fact the best way to serve your fellow man and yourself.
William Shakespeare said it best There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
I killed so many people in Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto 5.
That's nothing. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo "legalized" the killing of newborn babies.
Which is actually a very interesting point when it comes to the topic of dehumanization that Dr. Shaw mentioned. The "humans" that you have killed in those games aren't actually humans. They're computer code and polygons on a screen. They don't actually exist. So killing them is fine.
But it's when we start thinking about real people in the same way, as "not real people", that's when it gets dangerous.
As long as you can see the difference between real life and video games (which I will assume you can) and only kill people in video games, I think you're fine.
In that cause you need to be arrested by the virtual police, taken to a virtual court and if found guilty, put into a virtual jail, virtually for life.
Yes!
What a great speech!

only 94k views ? strange, this video deserves a lot more attention
an interesting subject that truly doesn't get enough attention. Good work!
Very good talk.( Sri Lanka )
Very interesting talk!
very interesting.
this was actually really good info
@Jimmy Durex LOL and why do you say that
William Shakespeare said it best There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
So Dhamer was bad only because our society thinks he was?
I don't know what I'm more confused about being so intrigued with such a beautiful mind or that she more beautiful on the inside then the outside....
Is it even possible to be as attractive on the inside as her outside?
She made valid points!
True.. I could even see one of them through her labcoat.
I'm not ashamed, I'm too confused and surprised about it, I did not understand and still don't understand why I did some things. I mean, there might be some basis for it, like chemical imbalance, stress and frustration, but I had no rational reasons for it - not greed, not pleasure, *nothing*
Don't worry, it wasn't something major, just some misbehaviour.
You would never dismember anyone, but if your are waging war you blow somebody up with rocket launher.

The reason is simply evolution; or more precisely, the leftovers from our past evolution.
Since I'm here, I should say that from my perspective, there are two aspects to her talk. There is a scientific aspect, and a philosophical aspect. The scientific aspect seems to be what a lot of people are focusing on, which it seems is far off the mark. The philosophical aspect however is more subtle. You may think that she is privileged because of her blonde hair and good looks, but that is not always true, and as you can see here, the response that she has gotten from this video is probably the response that she has gotten in other places too, perhaps also while growing up and while in school. There is a dismissive and judgmental aspect to the response which may actually DISTANCE her from people, thereby possibly feeding into a disconnected mentality and also meaning that people don't take the time to discuss her ideas with her on a human basis. If people refuse to do this with you, you will not grow along with them, and then you end up in these positions. She very well could be extremely lonely, but many would never assume so, and many would never acknowledge the validity of that emotion if they discovered it simply due to their judgmental attitude and the fact that they dismiss it by saying that however lonely she is, she is more privileged and therefore already happier.
Thereby creating these distinctions and disconnects, society then complains and attacks these levels of hierarchy which you yourselves refuse to acknowledge your involvement in and your contribution to.
Go back and watch the video, and you'll see that a good portion of it was talking about this exact dynamic. You just didn't even see it as such.
Your comment is noted, although a completely different subject in itself. This could go on forever as we try to understand the human mind.
Well, I officially have my first girl crush. She’s gorgeous and extremely intelligent and passionate about what she does? Damn. This video is extremely interesting and informative.
For real, she's a personal bi icon for me, just an awesome person all around. Especially as a fellow bi person, her writing on that topic is amazing too
I like her
I like her Alot. Lol
wow......
So few comments...hummm
I'm falling in love with her
Fight you for her. She's impossibly beautiful.
Back of the line please folks... I called dibs. 🙏
Didn't she just talk about the danger in the idea of de-humanizing people? Isn't the idea of "dibs" portraying this de-humanizing idea by being possessive of a person you've never even met?
@@tylerdewey915 hence our comedic replies dude... Silliness and laughter at serious subjects can be very rewarding.

Julia too kewl "...we are also really good at hypocrisy"
at some point she drifted off talking and promoting veganism and im not necessarily against veganism or vegetarianism
Hmmmmmmm I expected something.. something more psychological
Most murders are acts of revenge.
Yes, I wouldn't have killed them if they they didn't abuse me from the age of 6 to 15. Thanks for understanding
she makes valid points,nothing new...she describes in a nutshell "homicidal triad" syndrome (sounds like to me...)

I started to like this girl. The pants that she wear is leather and pretty.

Haha! My goodness! She is beautiful, very, but even more so stunning is her mind and message.
@@sschuler_ Did she say something? I wasn't listening.
I'm just here to talk like a chipmunk.
she is attractive, so it must be true
She said something?.. sorry wasn't paying attention to that.. rofl
Oh no...the simps have even breached the ted talks
@@hehrvehegehdhekf402 Any chance you know a way to make her shut up for a minute? She would be way hotter if she just didn't talk..
Thank you pause button..
We live in a partially narcissistic, dominance-oriented society. It's not mainstream...it's just...some people. Unfortunately.
Unfortunately, Dr. Shaw, as she would, thinks "40%" is mainstream--and that overconfidence is what normalizes and helps propagate narcissism.
maybe she is a narcissist herself...?
Is it bad that Trump supporters are also dehumanized?
Nice girl
I dunno but Dahmer is a quite bad example to bring up. He admitted and explained every crime he made and all of them were really really REALLY pha cked up crimes. I mean...if there would be one person in the world I would point my finger to it would be him.
Maybe that's exactly why she chose him as an example? If her point is that we shouldn't dehumanize anyone, that would include even people like him.
@@KarlKristofferJohnsson you are absolutely right. And thx for commenting this very old comment. I rethought her argumentation and it makes a lot more sense to me now! (No irony here involved, i just really mean it like it is :D )
@@KarlKristofferJohnsson Perhaps Dhamer dehumanized himself by his actions.
Ridiculously simple and shallow.
she started off really well, then went on to drive incorrect conclusion after conclusion. surprising
Peter Ciurea said the sad incel
This area has been QUARANTINED for HIGH SHEISTINESS.
Her information about brain scans was incorrect. Psychopaths are found to enjoy negative emotional responses in others. In other words, they become aroused when other people are suffering. This is the key.
Brain scans can not reveal peoples emotive state. Both you and the blonde chick in the video are incorrect!
@Gary Valencia Studying
What you talk about is sadism. But not every psychopath is sadistic.

The right is what is good for us, for exemple on imagine if you help others thats will do bad on people so we will stop help others. Lets make philosphy work for us not make us slaves of philospkhy :) just an idea I hope you got it
No she playing sophism on us, she is plain wrong
Her book is terrible
Delusional on more than one front.
Can't believe that she went from murderer to meat eater. Stoped right there and am unsubscribing, since all TEDs are turning into something like that.
It was good it lasted.
Bye!
You can’t handle the truth
I’m sorry Gabriel, but this is exactly what this talk is about. The dichotomy and dissonance of thinking. It’s not that a murderer is the same as a meat eater. It is simply that most people think animal cruelty is wrong yet directly support and participate in eating meat which causes incredible amounts of animal cruelty.
@joshyman221 It's just a fact of life that living things need to eat things to survive. We can find a more humane way of doing it for sure, but what are we gonna do? Starve to death? And I'd argue the same for eating plants. They're living things too, you know, so why should their lives be uprooted? Most are already at the bottom of the food chain, so just leave them alone. They got enough predators
Please, stop! Dismembering is not a bad thing! I have seen that many politicians are actually worth it. Thank you. PS. Please read the bible. You don't have any difference with all the persons described within.
Sorry..this is a train wreck. A fruit salad of statistics and fragmented hypothesis.

Consult an doctor for you ..the things she is explaining is rubbish at all and they the who do murder of someone then he knows he or she is doing a major and they can be hang in rope for this but they do ..just to satisfy thier ego or for some profit of world and for this in islam if you haven't caught fpr ypur sins in duniya then be ready to pay for your sins on the day of judgement..
She's a liar..
She faked the studies in her book, keeps lying in talkshows..lol
where did you get your information from?
Any proof?
What a joke
Pfheww you are kinda intimidating in a way that I don't know if good or bad... You have to tone it down if you want to reach a substantial amount of people!! Like seriously 90% of population can't relate to this type of "perfectionism". People will think you're being pure arogant if you don't tone it down significantly and keep spitting onconventional wisom on them without a pause. Make fun of yourself , be relatable. Also on physical aperance... You dress fine, but like it's too much. Have some accesoire of part of the outfit that shows you're also fun and chill. I want to like you on a personal level, but you make it REALLY difficult for me to relate to you in this talk
btw not all is bad. I put a like on the video. The topic, the ppt slides and your thoughts on it I love! It's similar to the thinking I have had since being a kid :)
Uhm, why is accessory or humor important? It's about the topic. And I think that is important and interesting enough to ignore that she is not self-humorous or dressed up like a barbie-doll.
Why does this woman criticize society for stereotyping women as temptresses while she wears a low cut blouse and skin-tight faux leather pants?
Because she wants to...

I hope she doesn't. The one described in the old testament seems like a corrupt and self-serving entity who rules by terror. Not unlike some of our worst historical dictators.
Leviticus Ch 26, verses 27-30
"27But if in spite of all this you do not obey Me, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,
28then I will act with furious rage against you, and I Myself will punish you sevenfold for your sins.
29You will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters.
30I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and heap your dead bodies on the remains of your idols; and My soul will despise you."
