That being said, the psychopathic woman, or sociopathic, I still haven’t found out for sure, damaged my consciousness more than any other experience of pain, loss, or grief in my 51 years. Including losing my Dad in January.
      What I learned is that those type of people do not have any regard for others, even though they often loudly proclaim that they do. At their core, they only care about themselves and will do everything in their power to hurt everyone they can.

      Dealing with malevolence is by no means unique to you. Your culture has therefore formulated solutions to it. Hopefully they are transmitted to you as a living tradition by a mentor figure.
      However, because they are formulated by other people from their unique experiences, the wisdom they have is not a ready-made solution that can be implemented without modification. You need to adapt the teachings to your specific, unique circumstances, and for that you need to learn and understand them.

      🙊🙉🙈🐒💩🌏💩
      George Orwell on 🌏:
      “Does *NOT* rest on *REASONING* or on *EXPERIMENT* but on *AUTHORITY* “
      ‘As I Please’ ~George Orwell
      “SOMEWHERE or other-I think it is in the preface to Saint Joan-Bernard Shaw remarks that we are more gullible and superstitious today than we were in the Middle Ages, and as an example of modern credulity he cites the widespread belief that the earth is round. The average man, says Shaw, can advance not a single reason for thinking that the earth is round. He merely swallows this theory because there is something about it that appeals to the twentieth-century mentality.
      Now, Shaw is exaggerating, but there is something in what he says, and the question is worth following up, for the sake of the light it throws on modern knowledge. Just why do we believe that the earth is round? I am not speaking of the few thousand astronomers, geographers and so forth who could give ocular proof, or have a theoretical knowledge of the proof, but of the ordinary newspaper-reading citizen, such as you or me.
      As for the Flat Earth theory, I believe I could refute it. If you stand by the seashore on a clear day, you can see the masts and funnels of invisible ships passing along the horizons. This phenomenon can only be explained by assuming that the earth’s surface is curved. But it does not follow that the earth is spherical. Imagine another theory called the Oval Earth theory, which claims that the earth is shaped like an egg. What can I say against it?
      Against the Oval Earth man, the first card I can play is the analogy of the sun and moon. The Oval Earth man promptly answers that I don’t know, by my own observation, that those bodies are spherical. I only know that they are round, and they may perfectly well be flat discs. I have no answer to that one. Besides, he goes on, what reason have I for thinking that the earth must be the same shape as the sun and moon? I can’t answer that one either.
      My second card is the earth’s shadow: when cast on the moon during eclipses, it appears to be the shadow of a round object. But how do I know, demands the Oval Earth man, that eclipses of the moon are caused by the shadow of the earth? The answer is that I don’t know, but have taken this piece of information blindly from newspaper articles and science booklets.
      Defeated in the minor exchanges, I now play my queen of trumps: the opinion of the experts. The Astronomer Royal, who ought to know, tells me that the earth is round. The Oval Earth man covers the queen with his king. Have I tested the Astronomer Royal’s statement, and would I even know a way of testing it? Here I bring out my ace. Yes, I do know one test. The astronomers can foretell eclipses, and this suggests that their opinions about the solar system are pretty sound. I am therefore justified in accepting their say-so about the shape of the earth.
      If the Oval Earth man answers-what I believe is true-that the ancient Egyptians, who thought the sun goes round the earth, could also predict eclipses, then bang goes my ace. I have only one card left: navigation. People can sail ships round the world, and reach the places they aim at, by calculations which assume that the earth is spherical. I believe that finishes the Oval Earth man, though even then he may possibly have some kind of counter.
      It will be seen that my reasons for thinking that the earth is round are rather precarious ones. Yet this is an exceptionally elementary piece of information. On most other questions I should have to fall back on the expert much earlier, and would be less able to test his pronouncements. And much the greater part of our knowledge is at this level. It does not rest on reasoning or on experiment, but on authority. And how can it be otherwise, when the range of knowledge is so vast that the expert himself is an ignoramous as soon as he strays away from his own speciality? Most people, if asked to prove that the earth is round, would not even bother to produce the rather weak arguments I have outlined above. They would start off by saying that ’everyone knows’ the earth to be round, and if pressed further, would become angry. In a way Shaw is right. This is a credulous age, and the burden of knowledge which we now have to carry is partly responsible.”

      Jean Boheme, there is an interesting You Tube interview with a woman who studies sociopaths and she said psychos and sociopaths are very good at seeking out and getting involved with people who are kind and sympathetic, because they know how to take advantage of their partner's sympathy. Kind people are apt to think everyone else is also kind. Many sociopaths seek out people in the "helping professions." It's a dreadful situation, but at least you are out of it. And although one shouldn't be naive, it is still better to be kind than evil.

Anyways, has soon as my mind started dreaming, dreaming that my hands were bleeding and my phone trying to call me a hundred times. I woke up in sweat to see the creep staring at my body with a creepy looking face. He was staring at me like I was food!

    Holy f**k, I normally hate this popsci stuff but I am just attempting to recover from a long legal ordeal with a back-stabbing evil SOB, and this video is exactly right in that the main bitterness left is the astonishment at the malevolence I experienced. You might think you are able to understand evil, but you're probably wrong. When I think about what happened a big part of what I feel is disbelief. To get an edge over me in a legal dispute this guy sabotaged my custody of my daughter. 2 years later and I still don't have custody restored (but soon). My custody of my daughter was unrelated to the legal dispute I had with him. And if it we're not for the focus I've had to maintain to restore custody I think I might have been left damaged just from the astonishment of what I witnessed. This guy can't be human and still live with himself. If I found out he was also a serial killer I'd be no more astonished. He's already maxed out my capacity to understand the dark depths of loathsome acts one person could take against another -- and just to steal money.

    This may, to many people, seem irrelevant, but having watched many JP lectures/videos in his teaching setting I can't help but notice the level of attentiveness and engagement he has with his students, whom are amazing individuals themselves as they hold the future of physhcology and the study of the human mind in their grasp - you can see from just the backs of their heads moving and either nodding or shaking, to the frantic movement of every pen on paper, that they're deconstructing every syllable of every word of every sentence JP utters. It takes an intellectual person, like Prof Peterson to educate people on the subject of psychology in such an articulate manner but even more impressive are those who take his wisdom and knowledge further as in thie day and age, the modern-day media try to frame JP as a monster, a maniac, criticising his political views with no recognition of his profession and his expertise - in actuality, he and his outstanding body of students pioneer to make a difference in people's lives, leaving a flicker of hope for the world moving forward. As a student in the subject, ( and also pursuing a career in psychology, a subject that hits close to home) I take my hat off to every single one of you and I aspire to be anything close to what you are
