Can you post some insights or something to discuss? Hate when people just post a random video, it’s almost spam

@LordFall Yeah i guess what Jeffrey Dahmer did is a form of manic love, for dead corpses and cannibalism... I mean in the case of Jeffrey Dahmer he was diagnosed with sociopathy, schizotypal personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, sexual sadism... As well as his genetic predisposition due to the fact that his parents were depressive, and also some trauma he might have experienced in childhood. In essence it is a nice cocktail that can turn any person into a monster. 

Metaphysically though there's no difference between between killing a human and an animal from another species, or being attracted to an alive or a dead body. Sexuality works cross species, and cross vitality. 

For having experienced mental disorders like ocd, ocd was extremely painful and debilitating, and influenced a lot of my behavior. It really felt like a disorder, something that was unwanted and outside of my control. 

However i have experienced certain paraphilias, which didn't necessarily feel unhealthy, debilitating or like a disorder. 

Where i am confused is that Jeffrey Dahmer didn't seem to be low functioning, like me when i had ocd, he seemed to be high functioning, so i mean where his behavior due to his illnesses only, or where there something deeper like a conscious choice to explore his fantasies. Were his behavior the result of his pathology, like the brain working in different ways than how it works without the disorders, or was Jeffrey Dahmer a normal person with non ordinary interests and sexual orientations. 

I mean his behavior was insane, but was it the healthy type of insane, or the unhealthy type of insane, where a lot of personal suffering is involved, that is my question.

Thanks for elaborating, your last paragraph is interesting but unfortunately I think a lot of psychopaths and narcissists are happier than regular people. Their brain turns off anxiety, fear and doubt and thus they can do crazy shit without really feeling bad or doubting themselves. 
 

I don’t think it would be called healthy since it’s not conducive to a long and harmonious life but while it lasts I think they’re pretty happy about it.  They experience a different of godliness where they’re above the laws and lives of regular men. I’m reminded of Peter Kurten who was a serial killer in the 1800s who had a pretty wild streak until he got caught. 
 

We live in a pretty amazing timeline though where through VR/metaverse/AI agents we’ll be able to experience that unbounded side of life without losing the love and connection to our people though so that’s cool.
