The Most Chilling Quotes Ever Said
~0.9 mins read
Jeffrey Dahmer was an American serial killer who murdered seventeen men and children, dismembering victims and even practising cannibalism and necrophilia on some of them.
His first murder took place when he was eighteen, but the rest were carried out later when he was between the ages of 27 and 31.
One of his most chilling quotes, I think, is this:
“When I was a little kid, I was just like anybody else.â€
To just think that a child, someone you or someone close to you might even know, someone who could seem to all the world normal and happy — could end up like him. That a happy and carefree boy or girl could turn into a monstrous man or woman.
That’s chilling, don’t you think?
EDIT: Yes, I’m aware that Dahmer killed animals but that was as an older child. When he was younger and before moving house, he had a variety of pets that he cared for. It was after he was forced to leave them behind, when the family moved to a more rural area, that he started killing animals.

Why Are Some Very Smart People So Quiet?

This is Jordan Peterson. I think he's insanely intelligent.
What he does in the picture is silence. He has just been asked a question and he is thinking about how to answer it.
But he remains silent for a very long time, and then he answers - precisely.
That is what intelligent people can do. Of course, you always say that stupid people think they are clever. But many really intelligent people also know that they are above average - I think that makes them very self-confident.
You can see it in Jordan Peterson - he has no problem admitting that he doesn't know something. It doesn't hurt his self-confidence.
Another reason why intelligent people tend to be quiet is simply because of the things they talk about. Many people, especially those with high crystalline intelligence, who know a lot, have certain preferences for topics. Small talk at a party or gossip is not one of them.
I feel the same way myself. What many intelligent people I know and I have in common is an interest in more unusual topics.
Discussions, abstract ideas, politics & maybe even everyday philosophy - all those things you don't talk about in a large group, late in the evening, maybe under the influence of alcohol.
If I don't have a great interest in participating in discussions, I prefer to keep quiet. There are all sorts of different preferences in conversation.
