PATREON EXCLUSIVE: The Dark Triad

Other way round also, people are borne psychopaths, sociopaths are made. Good call on no expertise hehe

Shadow work is super super important to get in touch with one’s darker side. It also helps build authenticity, integrity and wholeness.

I don't think this video was dark enough! There was too much apologizing and not enough dark thoughts being shared. That said, I can understand how anything you put out on the internet can be used against you. There's a good Charisma on Command video that talks about the positive traits of "evil" people here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k52IbJg_v0g

hey, you can interview DRRamani for your next podcast that will be interesting conversation!

Alex, my respect for you has increased more and more. I know it might sound silly because we don't know each other personally, but you really do stand out among the red pill crowd because of your astounding ability to be rational and moral. Many people in your position are so emotionally immature that they jump at any opportunity that will give them personal benefits, so props to you for that my friend! I think that it's EXTREMELY important, ESPECIALLY in today's shallow and opportunistic and cynical society, to be a good person and do the right thing. Unfortunately, and I hate to generalize, but most people today, both men and women, don't see the point or the benefit of it, and I blame the media for that. It's very important to understand why being a good person matters. Here is why I think that is. It's pretty simple actually: it makes you feel better. I know this sounds weird and crazy, but it's 100% true. The people who are jerks might be getting ahead in life, getting better promotions, more money, more sex, etc, but in the end, they are empty and miserable FOOLS. the Bible also talks about this very thing in the book of Psalms. David laments the fact that the wicked keep prospering, but the good keep suffering. And he wonders, why is that Lord? Well, in my Christian and Biblical worldview, this is the only time when they will have fun, and then their end will be permanent after this physical and temporal life. Unfortunately though, I have yet to encounter a strong secular basis for this sort of morality, besides just communal unity and preservation. Morality is not just merely about survival and thriving though, it's about giving you a purpose in life to aim for. In other words, it's an active force, not a passive one. I hope that one day you can read the Bible and come to know it. I'm not here to try to convert you, but having listened to you for about 2 years now, I actually find it surprising how you and I agree with each other more than 90% of the time, yet somehow you are more secular. Anyways man, good video and seriously keep it up. You're doing great my friend! :)

Don't mess with American police.

This video reminds me of @hoodville on Instagram. A lot of the memes and advice posted on that page seem consistent with dark triangle doctrines.

You shouldn't empathize too much with people like those: 1) This is not healthy response, they should overcome hurt. 2) Being near dark triad person empathy is dangerous - these people naturally use empathy as way to manipulate. Dark triad is not a joke.

Alexander, I am 50% darker than the average person. What should I do?

Your comment is genuinely appreciated.

Todd McDaniels

Thank you, Alexander. I’ve been troubled by women’s choices. They’re supposedly all about quality, but always seem to me to be using flawed algorithms.

Todd McDaniels

Tremendous topic. I was going to actually ask you about this for the longest time. But glad you made a video about it first! So many vague points have been cleared in my mind regarding this topic. Thank you Alexander!

I couldn't agree more. It's really painful to watch someone you really care for be used by one of these sick dark Triad types!~

I wouldn't worry too much about your results, it is not a diagnosable tool and is just a self-report test. I scored low but that is because I might deny dark qualities about myself whereas some people might score higher because of many reasons (you could be stressed, angry) xxx

Alisha

Alexander, I did test online and I have all three of these above 50%, which makes me 19% darker than the average person.... I was never aware of this, how do I deal with it?

I think there are two attractions to the dark triad for women. First they want a ruthless man for how he treats the rest of the world. She thinks she can tame him but if she can't, he is better than a 'nice' man who the world is going to rip apart. Second, she has dark attributes of her own. She can't choose a nice man because that will mean that she has to live in fear that her dark self will slip out and he will be horrified. With a dark triad man, the darkness is something that they share in common. For myself, I'm too much of an empath due to being trained to be my mother's therapist. I say that I'm able to get a woman to bare her soul but I can't get her to bare her chest.

12.17% lighter and my highest was in narcissism and the other 2 were really low but my narcissism level is 1% below average. What were your percentages? Lol xxx

Alisha

Took the dark triad test . Apparently I am 9.17% lighter than the average person. 😆 but…. I was highest on psychopathy and lowest on narcissism…. 🤔

This video is very wholesome, I can completely empathize with people who have been hurt by others in life and have the "fuck it, I will just hurt people back" mentality but you are right, you will feel it in your esteem xxx

Alisha

It wouldn't work for me even if I wanted to. I am an empath. I am relationship oriented. I am that "too nice" guy, who wants somebody to treat me the way I treat them. Nevertheless, see the surface level appeal of this. Being "nice" is only effective if you can also encounter "nice" people in return, which turns out to be all but impossible. I have been without a real romantic relationship for over 14 years (and I promise you my ex-wife was not "nice"). You forget what it's like to touch someone. It might be enough temptation to cross to the dark side. But I like what Alexander said: "It's about your goals." And it's also very much about being authentic. You can't be a liar and have inner peace. It's better to go without than compromise who you really are.

Actually, I cried the whole video.

You're disclaimer made me cry. That explanation hit home for me.

Thank you Alex for the content you put out! Its refreshing to see your perspective on everything, you think things through and deliver your thoughts with the best interest of humanity as a whole in mind. In this video you mentioned trying to cultivate empathy, and I was wondering if you had any tips on achieving that? Are there any videos you have put out, or anything you can reference to get started down that path would be much appreciated. Thank you again!

Dear God, thank you for my husband. Thank you for such a smart, strong, masculine man who loves and laughs and shows kindness. Thank you for giving me the intelligence to recognize it when I saw it, the capacity to return his love in return, and the work ethic to nurture and grow what we have. Thank you for ensuring my life has never been darkened by such men as described in this video and that my mind was not so twisted and corrupted as to desire it. Amen.

What are your opinions on Kanika Batra’s YouTube channel? She’s a clinically diagnosed sociopath and advocates that people like her can have healthy, long lasting romantic relationships

I personally doubt that anyone who isn't a dark-triad person could convincingly pretend to be one for any particular period of time. The opposite is also true of course and that's when the abuse begins. But that's a story for another time.

I heard about this thing from Tai Lopez around 2015. And he said he gives girls he likes the dark triade test to see what's up. (H3h3 podcast that was) Gave the test to my crush at the time and she was very narcissistic and avg and above average in the other two categories. I was shocked cuz I was legit unable to see that in her even if I looked hard.
