Except they were wired wrong.
I do believe there is some baseline wiring that is truly random and given to everyone at birth, I do believe some people are just naturally more prone to violence. As seen with just a testorone example. More T = More Violent Actions. And interestingly enough low income people have higher T on average. Some people say its due to environmental factors such as the mothers cortisol levels (stress hormone) throughout pregnancy. And others attribute it to after birth, as in if you live in a more violent area you body naturally adapts.
I do think that the world’s greatest villains and heroes are actually the same kind of perosn. It takes alot of intelligence and drive to kill 30 people and not get caught. It also takes the same amount to build a successful company.
Do I think some people are just born with their wires crossed, 100%. I just believe we dont have the technology yet to be able to measure it. It’s similar to alot of fetishes. How sometimes it literally is just a physical crossing of wires. (Feet, I think piss and poop are like that to.) Some people are just born to like something that the rest of us find abhorrent. It’s not their fault. It’s literally just how their brain was wired. If I received gratification from seeing blood, I would also cover myself in it. I dont believe that is inherently sick or twisted in any way. That’s just a natural reaction to pleasuring stimuli.
What defines people to either be Hitler or MLK? Nuture 100%. If Hitler grew up in MLK’s shoes he would become MLK. If MLK grew up in Hitler’s shoes he would become hitler. Now im using exceptional people in the literal definition. Exceptional people like that are just two sides of the same coin. A story told two different ways. I don’t believe either is evil. They are just products of their environment. And they only got rewarded by others, that’s why they do the things that they do. The environment shaped them, and they went on to do historical things.
in a way I do feel bad for pedophiles or murders. Because truly they are wired wrong, Society condemns both of those actions heavily. And yet they still do it. Because they are rewarded by their brain. Truly no fault of their own. Just living life exactly like the rest of us.
Except they were wired wrong.
