I agree. Intelligence is difficult to pin down. A more diverse system needs to be created.
I had imagined not as well. As for my view of the concept -- I believe it's static at best. I have an interest in both. I've always seen myself as being strongly justice-oriented, however the fascination has been there. Perhaps it will always remain just a thought that will never be acted out on. A favorite quote of mine is one by Friedrich Nietzshe: "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you."
Yeah, Profiler Robert Ressler used that quote in his book "whoever fights monsters"
Here is a very interesting one from the now executed serial killer David Gore;
"All of a sudden I realized that I had just done something that separated me from the human race and it was something that could never be undone, I realized that from that point on I could never be like normal people. I must have stood there in that state for 20 minutes. I have never felt an emptiness of self like I did right then and I never will forget that feeling. It was like I crossed over into a realm I could never come back from."
That sounds like a very harrowing realization -- being separated from what you are from the extent of what you've done. I imagine the most horrid thing that was plaguing his mind was guilt -- unmatched guilt and sorrow. If I was afflicted with those feelings, I would probably no longer wish to live.
Is it normal that I sometimes fantasize being a serial killer?

Thanks for the input. It was thought provoking.

Thanks, tommy.
that's an excellent quote.! And no problem. Glad I could provide some thought.
