people of the lie
RT Wolf, I thank you for this post. This video was highly interesting for me. I had very similar thoughts/revelations as Sean147.
I just recently read a book about human evil: People of the lie - by Scott Peck
He has a definition of evil people, that I do want to share:
Begin Quote:
...the time is right, I believe, for psychiatry to recognize a distinct new type of personality disorder to encompass those I have named evil. In addition to the abrogation of responsibility that characterizes all personality disorders, this one would specifically be distinguished by:
(a) consistent destructive, scapegoating behavior, which may often be quite subtle.
(b) excessive, albeit usually covert, intolerance to criticism and other forms of narcissistic injury
(c) pronounced concern with a public image and self-image of respectability, contributing to a stability of life-style but also to pretentiousness and denial of hateful feelings or vengeful motives
(d) intellectual deviousness, with an increased likelihood of a mild schizophreniclike disturbance of thinking at times of stress
End Quote.
...I'm off to watch the video a second time.
