the jurgen experience oh god can you like minority report of like legitimate serial killers you know what the problem with that would be if you could go like if you were with a baby and you get he said because of this baby's life and where he's at this baby will one day be a serial killer i'm just trying to figure out how we got to just being with the baby with the scenario i'm just hanging it's not even your baby but oh you're at a hospital maybe there's some like some future prognostication tools where they can like zoom in on a baby's brain and see exactly where it's going to go i mean there's got to be something to having some sort of consistency with the neurology of serial killers i think it alters with uh life i think it's many things and obviously i'm a [ __ ] so i don't really know you say you're a [ __ ] as i'm sitting watching this beautiful sign lit up behind you in this gorgeous building you are not a [ __ ] i'm definitely a [ __ ] you're a total [ __ ] but you're a very smart one compared to smart people you need to trust me i'm i'm a legit [ __ ] but i have uh a a way of looking at things that's it's i'm a little freer in my associations because i don't worry about being fired right and so i haven't worried about being fired for a long time so i have a certain freedom in the way i look at things but that's not intelligence but my point is that i remember my point what we're talking about we were talking about more we were talking about no serial killers yeah um if you could take that child and raise it differently would it turn out to be an amazing person see like what happens to a person you know the the concept of determinism do you know that over free will right free will meaning that you have control of your destiny determinism is like hold on a second it's way more complicated than that you're who you are right now is a combination of many factors that are outside of your control particularly when you're a child abuse violence and trauma those shape a child in very horrific ways and neglect one of the things i was watching a documentary about the unabomber and the unabomber's brother ted kaczynski's brother was talking about how when ted had a condition when he was a child they brought him to this place to treat him and they let this he was a baby and they left him alone for like months so during a critical period of his life like he had no love no touch of his mother like this is like really important stuff i forget how long the period was i want to say it was like two months but even if it was like two weeks like what does that do to a child it's got to be detrimental see if you can find it jamie it was uh in the documentary that is recently on i think it was on netflix the he talked about it you know so he lived in this shack in montana and he would point guns in people and not kill him and then he starts riding this manifesto and then he starts sending bombs to people but there's so many factors there here's here's one besides the fact that his his parents left him in this place they definitely left him in this place for a period of time that i think was pretty extended i think it was at least two weeks it might have been two months jesus he was also part of the harvard lsd experiment oh [ __ ] so in harvard during the 19 i guess it was 50s not sure when he was going to school at harvard they were doing these lsd studies and um was it like mk ultra house you don't know right i would say yeah no i don't know they must have had branches for sure they had studies and they were helping them fuel their own studies don't find a time but this is what it says about it okay um when ted kaczynski was a at a tender age he got sick was taken to a hospital with hives or swollen red bumps that appeared on his skin his family said he was isolated from his parents as doctor tried to determine what was wrong with the infant mom always faulted the hospital they would have been there every day visiting but the hospital said no david kudzinski said in the docu-series it was kind of like we don't want parents to be in the way we've got our work to do we have our little baby to cure so keep your distance they were only allowed to visit him two times a week for two hours oh my god it's insane i mean so then you think about quarantine are we going to create serial killers a little bit but look at the bottom he'd come out and he'd never been the same after that she said so it changed him as a toddler so you got that okay so you've this uh this horrific neglect that he experienced as a child through no fault of his own so free will we have to look at free will like what does that mean are you saying he has free will like this guy with a broken brain because he was ignored as a child or people that were sexually abused as children for years and years and years by a close family relative or or family member and no one believes them that that's real too right how much does that change you then he goes on to be a part of these [ __ ] harvard lsd studies and then you also have to factor in you have to factor in gender i'm pretty sure that's true but you know i'm wrong a lot don't you think you have to factor gender in a little bit him being a man yeah i'm sure anger society he was apparently like super his brother talked about how he's super angry when a girl would reject him he would get furious and i'm sure with testosterone that is affected differently than somebody who's you know female with estrogen being the leading hormone like there's got to be that has to factor into it a little bit unabomber in the harvard drug experiment i mean you've got to admire the outfit though that's style that's me in the airport um does it say anything in there if psychology today has it too okay where does it say that he was there oh was it part of the mk ultra problem yeah so what does it say about ted kaczynski does it say that in there i'm 99 sure he was a part of the study i wouldn't be surprised i mean if if [ __ ] manson was it's like they had like the nba starting lineup of serial killers just to google uh ted kaczynski there it is analysis of the personality of adolf hitler wow and that's a thing like how what are when you think of the the circles of psychology and how many overlap how many are overlapping with people like hitler and ted kanzinski and all of these like what are the what are those common denominators amongst them because that's what we have to figure out is people who study the brain and and study behavioral patterns that's really going to tell us a lot but you're right like will and what are the two factors determinism or free words free will right and i used to think much more that it was free will because i'm a stubborn person i used to think [ __ ] you figure it out bro like when i was younger in particular i get that but the more i talk to people that really understand the concept the more it it let me relax my grip on my opinion which is very important right when you you have an opinion about something it's very important to examine how much of a grip you have on this opinion and whether or not this opinion is connected to you judging your own intelligence are you in a like a game with people were your opinions better than their opinion like are you married to these ideas well it's hard for people as well because of cognitive dissonance like we have a natural reaction to learning new things 100 well we we have we like things to fall in line with whatever we've already yeah what have we very assumed is our ideas so this is this study and it says uh another ethically problematic and this is a [ __ ] up story ethically problematic study was conducted by uh henry a murray murray was a professor murray was a professor at harvard university and had worked with the office of strategic services the predecessor to the cia well i was before the cia they didn't just they didn't have a good name yet what are we gonna call just strategic services just put it on the on the door what sounds better central intelligence agency or the office of strategic services strategic services is too hard to say it's so hard to say it's too cumbersome neither of us have said it correct right that's true yeah but strategic services like like if someone's got a gun in your head what are you doing here i'm from the office of association you have two strategic service men in your in your office yeah i agree with the name cia it's a better name i'll say okay so during world war ii he wrote an analysis of the personality of adolf hitler which was a psychological psychological analysis of hitler that was using the people i could just come up with a better word why psychological so long [Laughter] the mind of analysis of hitler it was used by the military and during this time he also helped develop tests to screen soldiers conducting conducted as tests on brainwashing and determined how well soldiers could withstand interrogations so what they were trying to do is break people so they took this is what's crazy about it they took these students and they would do things to them they would interrogate them and [ __ ] with them and they would also dose them and so the interrogation studies it says included intense mock interrogations on soldiers as part of assessing the limits of their psychological breaking points okay that's a little perverse right he conducted such interrogation studies on harvard university undergraduates theodore kaczynski who later later became known as the unabomber was one of the 22 participants in murray's study subjected to several years of interrogations designed to psychologically break the young man so why aren't the people who have run these studies under the same interrogation that the soldiers of world war ii were under where we went after the [ __ ] nazis we should be going after people who ran these terrible tests and basically created some of society's most prominent and infamous serial killers that's a night you're right and it's a nice way of looking at it that we just he deserves punishment we deserve revenge and all that not him the people that judged him yes and all that his victims deserve revenge yes but what i'm interested in is that this man like if karma is real if that's real if like what you are today is in your next lifetime chain of lies that you live that have brought you to this and you're thinking of yourself in this inc incarnation because this is the only one you've ever known but in reality you're the process of this long line of beings that has gone on since the beginning of life itself you have all the ancestry in you what did that guy do in another life think about if that's true i'm not saying it's true but imagine if it is let's just as a thought experiment imagine if it is that you're gonna come back as a guy who is ignored in this place because they're treating you with some rando disease that you got that most babies don't get so you have these horrible hives they keep you in this place where they take care of children for weeks they don't let you visit them a couple of times a week however long they kept them there i don't know how i don't remember i want to say it was two months and we know your numbers are a little off it could be it could be an hour he was there for 45 years he was there most of his life he let him out in college so he he gets out of there and then his brother would talk about these like moments of rage that he would have that would be terrifying and that like like if a girl rejected him particularly he would write like horrific notes to them like really mean mean notes and then this guy goes and does these harvard studies where they [ __ ] with him relentlessly and they're trying to break him it's almost like they knew that this was a guy that was unusually broken right and susceptible to breaking in the way that would benefit their study god especially like when you think about the male brain and the formative years go well into your into your freaking 20s and you're yeah like 25 to the frontal cortex i think it's females too i think maybe you guys are a little quicker we're a little bit quicker we're like 18 19 but you know still like he's on the heels of his brain barely being and they're dosing them with acid and trying to break them psychologically and doing like mocking alone as a child on the the playground although i do think it's a necessary passage into adulthood just to deal with adversity mocking alone is brutal and then you add it to this study with lsd being thrown into the mix where your brain is not on a solid ground the way it's going to process everything is obviously detrimental to who you become and it changes your it changes your brain chemistry you know i think there's like a problem a real undeniable problem with having secrecy what do you mean if you're like an organization that has ultimate power like the cia i see in the 1950s and you can run these studies and no one knows about them and you're giving kids acid and you're trying to break them it's that's why i said it's her first crazy [ __ ] to him who knows what they did to him right and it's like is it really for your [ __ ] study or are you guys just bored or do you just get to do this right it's something you get to do and you're just pushing the ticket because you can and you're funded that's so demented catch new episodes of the joe rogan experience for free only on spotify watch back
