Psychopathy is found near and in larger cities. Robert hair became famous for his work studying psychopathy. This work was, I think, monumental in our understanding of how a "real psychopath behaves." And he suggests that psychopaths are attracted to these larger cities, because it might allow psychopaths to blend in easier or maybe they have a larger group of people from which they would kind of observe and draw and collect behaviors. It helps him to hide because the closer you live to people, the more anonymity you have. It's the bystander effect on a social scale. [So the bystander effect is a function of the large cities.] You have more anonymity in New York City because no one gives a s*** who you are. This is mental separation from nature. You've heard somebody say before that they enjoyed spending time in nature and of course we've all felt it too but you hear this so often because there's something Indescribable about its effect on us as creatures. So these kind of indescribable feelings get us a little closer to truth and like feeling what truth is where we're supposed to be.
2:40. This is the Social Collapse Scale. This is the society and individual perceptions of their level of control in their own life.
Next, we have that group's level of social connection. Are they connected to each other? And then finally, we have distance from authenticity. You see these lines through here? You can see Dubai, they believe that they have lots of control. Social going down. And then almost everything is simulated about living in Dubai. And what's astonishing is that we have the highest over. Here are like third world countries are the closest to Nature. So the poorest countries score the highest on happiness indexes. This is universal. You can use this graph to kind of predict where somebody is going and what needs to change. But the cool thing about this is this isn't just a country or a community. This is a family. This is a company. Those are the three axes that we're using now to predict collapse and to prevent collapse.
Physically, mentally, every other way that you can think of, everything in psychopathy is about separation. Having lived in a city your whole life makes you 2,000% more likely to suffer these illnesses, psychopathy included. Wherever you look in the world, the further a human being is from their natural environment or just nature, the more biological and physiological pathology starts showing up. We remove an octopus from the sea, and keep it in the most perfect conditions that we can imagine: there's a person there 24 hours a day, checking the salt levels in the water, the pH, the perfect balance, making sure the mineral content is exactly right, even that octopus we shorten its lifespan.
