🔍 Introduction to Dark Psychology
The paragraph introduces the concept of dark psychology, contrasting it with positive psychology. It discusses how dark psychology explores the darker aspects of human nature, such as the tendency towards destructive behavior and the potential for evil within all individuals. It also introduces the term 'dark singularity' to describe the part of the human psyche that can lead to acts without purpose. The paragraph further examines how society views normal and abnormal behavior, using social norms, moral codes, and legal systems as measures. It discusses the double standards in these measures, such as violence being acceptable in certain circumstances like war or self-defense.
📚 Social Norms, Manners, and Dysfunctional Behavior
This paragraph delves into the nuances of social norms and manners, discussing how these constructs are used to define acceptable behavior within society. It contrasts the expected etiquette with the dysfunctional behavior that often emerges despite these norms. The text highlights how some individuals, such as those in positions of power or wealth, may feel exempt from these societal rules and may even take pleasure in causing harm or breaking the law. Examples are given, such as the historical practice of fox hunting in England, to illustrate how certain behaviors are deemed acceptable by some despite being illegal or immoral.
🧬 The Roots of Dark Behavior
The third paragraph explores the developmental and genetic factors that might contribute to dark or deviant behavior. It discusses the potential role of upbringing, abuse, or lack of social education in leading to such behavior. The paragraph also considers the genetic argument, mentioning the XY chromosome and testosterone levels in some violent criminals. However, it concludes that genetic evidence is not conclusive and that environmental factors play a significant role. It raises the question of why some individuals choose to act on their darker impulses while others do not.
🌪️ Survivalism and the Psychology of Society's Collapse
This paragraph discusses the concept of survivalism and how it relates to human psychology. It suggests that humans have an inherent survivalist mentality that is often suppressed by societal norms and laws. The text reflects on historical societies and their eventual decline, suggesting that the current societal structures, including capitalism, may also be temporary. It discusses how people might revert to a survivalist mindset in times of crisis, prioritizing their own needs over societal rules. The paragraph also touches on how movies and media often romanticize survivalism, contrasting this with the real-world vilification of those who adopt such a mentality.
🏛️ The Role of Dark Psychology in Modern Society
The final paragraph addresses the practical applications of dark psychology in modern society, particularly in sales and marketing. It lists various individuals and professions that might use dark psychological tactics, such as narcissists, sociopaths, attorneys, politicians, salespeople, leaders, and public speakers. The paragraph emphasizes the importance of intent when using psychological tactics, suggesting that while it's acceptable to aim for mutual benefit, using such tactics solely for personal gain is unethical. It concludes with a call for ethical practice, even in fields where dark tactics might be tempting.

written by daniel james hollins
chapter one
what is dark psychology
in recent years psychology has tried to
uplift the human spirit with lots of
popular psychology terms such as
positive psychology with the numerous
books released to tell the masses how to
behave to lead a fulfilled successful
life from talking about parachutes 10
steps to something the mired of how to
titles and much more
most are nothing but misguided pop psych
or a fat of the moment
can life be as easy as reading the right
book and following some basic concepts
and everything is going to be okay for
you and me
this paper is different we shall explore
the dark side of the human mind that
part that sees disengagement destruction
bile acts as part of the everyday humane
psyche that emerges in us all from time
to time that part that finds excitement
glee and pleasure in the dysfunctional
part of our existence
how can society reconcile with its dark
side
i use the word insane to refer to those
in society who oppose the social norm
dark psychology is both the study of
criminal and deviant behavior and a
conceptual framework for deciphering the
potential for evil within all human
beings
dark psychology is the study of the
human condition as it relates to the
psychological nature of people to prey
upon other people motivated
by criminal and were deviant drivers
that lack purpose and general
assumptions of instinctual drivers and
social sciences theory
all of humanity has this potential to
victimize other humans and living
creatures
while many restrain or sublimate this
tendency some act upon these impulses
dark psychology seeks to understand
those thoughts feelings perceptions and
subjective processing systems that lead
to predatory behavior that is
antithetical to contemporary
understandings of human behavior
dark psychology assumes that criminal
deviant and abusive behaviors are
purposive and have some rational
goal-oriented motivation ninety-nine
percent of the time
it is the remaining one percent dark
psychology parts from oblarian theory
and the teleological approach
dark psychology postulates there is a
region within the human psyche that
enables some people to commit atrocious
acts without purpose
in this theory it has been coined the
dark singularity
first let's examine how we can identify
the dark side of psychological thought
and behavior
we need a measure to know what is normal
and what is considered abnormal behavior
our first measure is social norms this
means in any society of what is
considered normal everyday behavior
given a set of circumstances that
confront our perception
for example in western culture to strike
another person violently is considered a
criminal act and one that is repulsive
to a peaceful society
however we condone violence when the
person is given societal permission such
as a soldier in the act of war a
policeman in the act of apprehension of
a dangerous criminal a citizen defending
his family from a serious threat from
another person
these double standards can be
misinterpreted in many ways
the soldier who commits war crimes such
as genocide the policeman who uses
violence to intimidate a witness while
interviewing them or the citizen who
violates another person's rights in
order to further their own position in
some way
the second measure is a moral one
how do we as a society decide what is
right and wrong who has the power to
decide these right do laws follow moral
conviction or do they become protection
of the weak against the strong or the
rich against the poor
most societies agree that killing
another human being is against a moral
code it is simply wrong to kill and
should be punished by an act of equal
severity by the society that supports
the moral legal stance imposed on the
masses by its lawmakers
to most societies this has been a
religious code of conduct such as the
ten commandments of the christian faith
and other such codes from buddhism to
the muslim quran
faith and divine reward and punishment
are reflected in the legal language and
law seen as the bedrock of any civilized
nation of people
having accepted these rules why then do
people readily deviate from these morals
laws and religious guidelines that allow
us all to live in a peaceful society
governed by agreed principles of
behaviors that protect the individual
from danger hurt and abuse
the third area of behavior is that not
set down in law or religious concepts
but those everyday sets of behavior the
english would refer to as manners or
being polite
the conduct or way of acting that
conforms to behavior accepted is that of
a superior member of a society who knows
how to conduct themselves in the company
of others to a set of standards that are
seen as the mark of an advanced
civilization
these can sometimes be seen in the
etiquette of table manners or a man
opening a door for a woman and allowing
her to pass first the recognition of
man's duty to protect and defend women
today in some cultures women's rights
have cast out of manners towards women
as sexist and therefore demeaning to a
woman's independence
nevertheless manners are seen as the
mark of being well bred and in the upper
echelons of a society whether they are
traditional englishness or a japanese
tea ceremony
having set out society's differing ways
of measuring behavior either through law
morals or social acceptable norms humans
still manage a wide range of
dysfunctional behavior that often
impacts on and influences others to the
point where the perpetrators of this
behavior see themselves outside the law
moral codes and etiquette of the rest of
society
sometimes through the feeling of guilt
we all recognize when we have
transgressed those rules that we see as
essential to a well-ordered civilization
however there are those other people who
feel nothing when faced with dealing out
violence destruction and death against
others as merely their right to live
without those rules and the freedom to
live a life that is determined by
nothing more than what they wish to own
possess or destroy
the dark side
what possess the man who kicks the dog
when he is frustrated by society that
pends his existence
what feelings does he release at that
moment when the dog screeches and howls
in pain and fright
why does he smile and wish further harm
to the dog and enjoy the sight of an
animal in pain onlookers feel outraged
by his behavior and sympathy for the
defenseless dog for which this man has
sought to treat cruelly and without
remorse
who is this man
why he is all of us from time to time
we all lose our sense of psychological
calm and rational thoughts as we grapple
with life's unfairness or lack of
opportunity
on the other hand wait for this man is
wealthy has all his needs fulfilled yet
still feels great delight in kicking and
watching the dog suffer at his hands
a sense of power at his ability to
inflict pin and the pleasure at feeling
superior to other lesser humans whom he
sees is incapable of taking what they
want and so end up as employees and
servants
this superior positional thinking leads
to a lack of sympathy or empathy for
others as only fools who accept the
dominance of his kind as leaders and
lawmakers
the above example is to give an insight
into a behavior that breaks our three
measures of social norms law hurting a
defenseless animal moral the taboo on
senseless behavior seen as wrongdoing
socially acceptable behavior while
everyone might lose their temper and
kick their dog most will feel pangs of
guilt and remorse
here however we meet people who feel no
guilt no remorse and see themselves as
exempt from laws they do not agree with
in england fox hunting was a cruel sport
mostly carried out by intelligent
professional wealthy men and women yet
these same people claimed a right to
hunt and destroy a defenseless animal
for nothing more than a good time as
seeing their hounds rip apart and devour
a fox
even though the majority of english
people voted on numerous occasions to
ban the sport it took several years of
campaigning to get this put into law
now fox hunting is an illegal activity
however these same people continue to
flout the law and hunt under local
bylaws that have yet to catch up with
national lawmaking
these people know what they are doing is
illegal immoral and against social norms
as defined by majority opinion
yet they claim they are superior parts
of society and therefore above the
day-to-day moral concerns of the
ordinary masses
the surprising thing is in england these
people are members of parliament police
judges and others who control aspects of
society in england such as estate owners
lame given often by royal consent in the
past by robbing the rightful land of the
poor
in other words the very people who
should set an example to society are the
same ones flaunting the law and socially
acceptable behavior
in another example we have to look at
the criminal
criminals are often seen as the rejects
of society as they have come from flawed
backgrounds disadvantaged families and
poor parental upbringing yet in society
the largest harm done to the public is
often from corporate crimes such as
pension fund embezzlement stocks and
shares insider trading and theft of
assets and wealth by ceos and government
official
this so-called white-collar crime is
often undetected and the hardest to
bring to justice
everyday criminal are more visual to the
public as their crimes cause localized
distress and make the media cry for
police action and civil authority action
therefore most laws are about visual
crime that is easy to understand and
comprehend
punishment of visual crime is also
straightforward and dealt with every day
in our courts and media
how do we distinguish between the two
types of criminal the so-called
victimless crime of white-collar
criminals who see no direct victim or
the murderer who during an armed robbery
kills and maims those who oppose his
will to steal what he wants from society
and the distress they leave behind
so what does psychology have to say
about the deviants who do not see their
actions as a problem to themselves and
feel others who do not take control of
their lives as weak and therefore
deserve to be victims of those who are
smarter stronger or more powerful
the media often cries about the passive
masses that accept the status quo and in
the same paper would condemn the local
person who took the law into their own
hands perhaps to avenge some wrongdoing
against them or their families
the first area that psychology expounds
the reasons behind this dark behavior of
others is developmental that upbringing
is at the route of this behavior that
the dog kicker was not loved or cared
for in the correct manner
that during their formative years they
were subject to cruelty sexual abuse or
lack of social education
that the same transgressors were victims
of bullying at school and therefore need
to act out their own frustration on
those in society that are weaker than
themselves
the question we have to pose here is why
some victims in fact it is only the few
that turn into the monsters who kill and
name for reasons of developmental
mistakes
at this point many scientists like to
point to a genetic factor in behavior
this old chestnut has been around for
some time now
there is evidence amongst violent
criminals that they often possess an
extra y chromosome men that gives them a
high amount of testosterone leading to
violent outburst towards frustrating
situations in which they use terror and
fear is the key to getting what they
need
however as a percentage of violent
criminals this is statistically minute
even though in the general prison
population this may be higher all
genetic research so far has led to
speculation about genetic factors but
with no firm evidence to back up the
claims
the most often cited evidence is that
from twin studies where twins separated
at birth have high incidences of similar
behavior and outcomes
again is a percentage of twins born and
studied this evidence is weak for
genetic determinism and high for
developmental environments being similar
and twins experiencing environments that
are so accord that it is more likely to
be a surprise if they did turn out
differently from each other
so if we remove developmental outcomes
genetic predispositions then what makes
some people flaunt socially acceptable
behavior and some who comply to
everything society demands of them
this then is the propositional position
that makes psychology hard to always see
as a positive view or a deterministic
way of the world and that in fact maybe
it is in fact that normal behavior
amongst humans is to be cruel deceitful
violent and tendency towards criminal
behavior under a variety of
circumstances
those morals are a luxury of a settled
society where everyone is equal both
economically and in caste or class
the psychology of the survivalist
there are those particularly in the usa
that see the end of society as a real
possibility whether they advocate
nuclear annihilation today more likely
bio warfare or the breakdown of
capitalism leading to social chaos and
civil strife
these people are often referred to as
survivalists they store weapons against
the uncontrollable hordes that would
roam the country in the event of civil
breakdown and food for the possibility
of shortages caused by economic meltdown
looking at 2009 in the usa many
survivalists would argue they in fact
have a good case
the survivalists believe they have a
basic right to defend themselves and
their families in the case of societal
breakdown and lack of protective laws on
occasions these groups come into
conflict with existing legal statutes
that become enforced by federal
authorities such as the fbi
therefore the survivalist mentality is
well on the one hand in conflict with
society and in the other seen as a
genuine attempt to controlling one's own
fate against future disasters
after all insurance companies survived
just on that premise alone and
ironically would be the first not to
survive an economic breakdown of
capitalism as seen by the failure of
many banks in 2008 september around the
world
today the most popular movies at the box
office are disaster films those were
flood sun flares bio warfare alien
invasion and other catastrophes caused
the social breakdown of society
the heroes of these movies are always
the resourceful survivalists who through
violence protect their kin from all
comers
why do the public find these people as
attractive as heroes and yet the real
survivalists are vilified as public
enemies of the status quo
judging by the success of these movies
ordinary people recognize that the
breakdown of society is something that
may happen or is in fact inevitable
so they look to these movies as a type
of hope for another future that may come
about by the demise of their own
everyday world
psychology is evolution
in human history all people started out
as survivalists as hunter-gatherers
roaming the land looking for easy
accessible animals for food and warmth
as time goes by
we see these societies settle into
agricultural settlements that create
rules laws leaders and a moral code
as they develop and grow these settled
societies create art music and religion
to compensate for a limited existence
within the constrictions of the very
society they have formed
from these beginnings land and property
become important
the possession of goods and shadows
becomes essential to growth
as time goes by these settlements become
villages towns and cities which
eventually form countries with
boundaries
survival becomes now the group and not
the individual as was humans natural
instincts from the beginning of time
however eventually all these societies
fade crumble away
some for unknown reasons such as the
mayan and other south american
civilizations
most fail as they grow into empires who
dominate the weak with a version of
their own laws and religions
however one thing history teaches us all
is that societies do disappear for all
sorts of reasons
greek roman egyptian and the ancient
world
and british french german and japanese
empires in the modern world
all of these societies had one thing in
common they did not envisage their own
demise
in today's world a european and american
could not imagine the fall of the eec or
the usa yet these new modern empires
have their own achilles heel capitalism
although karl marx saw the evils of
capitalism and its eventual failure he
could not have seen how it would grip
the modern world to such a point that
wars over oil and gas would dominate the
21st century
marx however would probably laugh with
glee at the failure in 2009 of the
banking system based on greed and debt
around the first nations of the planet
most of the failures can be contributed
to mismanagement but in fact it was a
loss of confidence in the financial
system by ordinary people that caused a
rush on funds and inability to service
crippling debt through high interest
rates and little return on investments
when people panic they go into survival
mode they look after themselves first
at this junction it is time to conclude
from these observations that social
norms laws and morals are actually not
normal for human beings and that society
often forces group behavior based on
what the powerful one over the powerless
that in fact survivalist mentality is
our norm and that what society tries to
do in fact is control the wild beast in
every human by training them from an
early age to obey the laws rules and
morals of the controlling group usually
the rich who dominate our governments
and institutions
therefore should we condemn those that
feel society is not offering them a fair
deal which in fact they should take what
they need in order to survive an often
hostile environment where privilege
depends on your school family or wealth
psychology itself needs to come out of
the closet and admit that normal human
behavior is to oppose rigid societies
and rules
that in fact people resent society but
because they are powerless against those
who control lawmaking and morality they
feel certain helplessness in trying to
live amongst the sheep is it any wonder
then occasionally a lone individual
takes it into their own hands to change
society or their own environment in
order to live a more free
self-controlled existence away from the
rigors of societies that as we have seen
all eventually break down and reinvent
themselves as the new rich and powerful
take control once again
in the last century we saw china go from
an empire rule by depots to a military
regime controlled by the rich and
powerful to transform itself into a
communist stare of the 1950s where
marxism would determine a fair life for
all and eventually to the china of today
as a capitalist socialist state based on
a ruling party that determines the lives
of the powerless populace that in fact
fought for the rulers to lord over them
much as the emperor of old nothing
changed except the rich and powerful
will another revolution occur in china
in the future at the moment it looks
unlikely despite the unrest in many
parts of china by minorities forced to
comply with central rule
all empires cannot see their own demise
how will psychology then deal with this
question of human behavior as a basic
survivalist mechanism that in fact
humans are naturally violent cruel and
dominating of others who are weaker than
themselves
psychiatry in mental hospitals is often
seen as the agents of social control if
you do not agree with society and its
rules then you must be insane therefore
you should be committed and controlled
for the safety and benefit of all
psychology on the other hand is seen as
the liberating aspect of mental health
where we help those out of sync with
society to find their place and fit back
into what is considered normal behavior
for that group
where will the answer be for those who
rebel against the society they live in
and want another way of existence
without the interference of the powerful
and the freedom to live a life they
choose as suiting themselves
or do we wait for the movies to come
true the disaster that awaits all humans
and a return to a dog-eat-dog existence
called survivalism the real social norm
how dark psychology is used today
training programs that teach dark
unethical psychological and persuasion
tactics are typically sales or marketing
programs
many of these programs use dark tactics
to create a brand or sell a product with
the sole purpose of serving themselves
or their company not the customer
many of these training programs convince
people that using such tactics are okay
and is for the benefit of the buyer
because of course their lives will be
much better when they purchase the
product or service
who uses dark psychology and
manipulation tactics
here's a list of people who seem to use
these tactics the most
narcissists
people who are truly narcissistic
needing clinical diagnosis have an
inflated sense of self-worth
they need others to validate their
belief of being superior
they have dreams of being worshiped and
adored
they use dark psychology tactics
manipulation and unethical persuasion to
maintain
sociopaths
people who are truly sociopathic
meeting clinical diagnosis are often
charming intelligent yet impulsive
due to a lack of emotionality and
ability to feel remorse they use dark
tactics to build a superficial
relationship and then take advantage of
people
attorneys
some attorneys focus so intently on
winning their case that they resort to
using dark persuasion tactics to get the
outcome they want
politicians some politicians use dark
psychological tactics and dark
persuasion tactics to convince people
they are right and to get votes
salespeople
many salespeople become so focused on
achieving a sale that they use dark
tactics to motivate and persuade someone
to buy their product
leaders
some leaders use dark tactics to get
compliance
greater effort or higher performance
from their subordinates
public speakers
some speakers use dark tactics to
heighten the emotional state of the
audience knowing it leads to selling
more products at the back of the room
selfish people this can be anyone who
has an agenda of self before others they
will use tactics to meet their own needs
first even at someone else's expense
they don't mind win-lose outcomes
yes i know
i probably stepped on some toes as a
speaker and a person who is involved in
selling services i fall into this
category as well
this is why i must remind myself that
working writing speaking and selling
with character requires that i avoid
manipulative and coercive tactics
to differentiate between those
motivation and persuasion tactics that
are dark and those that are ethical it's
important to assess your intent we must
ask ourselves if the tactics that we are
using have an intention to help the
other person
it is okay for the intention to be to
help you as well but if it's solely for
your benefit you can easily fall into
dark and unethical practices
having a mutually beneficial or a
win-win outcome should be the goal
however you must be honest with yourself
and your belief that the other person
will truly benefit
an example of this is a salesperson who
believes everyone will benefit from his
product and life will be much better for
the customer because of the purchase
a salesperson with this mentality can
easily fall into using dark tactics to
move the person to buy and use an ends
justifies the means mentality
this opens the person up to any and all
tactics to get the sale
