Forgot which podcast # exactly it was but Joe Rogan was talking about how we deem some in society as mentally ill and others just plain evil and how he felt that anyone capable of just taking another persons life like that has some sort of mental illness.

Something happened along the way that altered the state of their brains and felt like even those who kill deserve our empathy.


That's me paraphrasing, I don't remember the exact podcast offhand (I believe he was talking about the Cleveland killer Steve Stephens) but looking at twitter today and seeing how polarizing Aaron Hernandez' death has been for people, I can't help but feel like Joe might be on to something...

I mean from the perspective of neuroscience, guys like Sam Harris even will tell you that free-will is merely an illusion. Guys who cut open the human brain for a living and examine the brains of everyone from children to the brains of killers, can tell you there's something very different chemically and structurally between someone who has a healthy functioning brain and someone who has incurred abuse or stress.


From that standpoint, I can empathize for someone like Aaron Hernandez. He lost his father at a relatively young age, and his mother herself has stated that his father's death profoundly impacted Hernandez' behavior.

Granted murderers come from all walks of life, from people who grew up in dire circumstances where gratuitous violence was an everyday reality to those who grew up in warm loving households. I do think neurologically speaking, something has to be wrong with a persons brain to go out and kill in cold blood.


I think we shouldn't lambast people for having empathy. For what could've been, for his children, his family. I think it's normal as humans that we can put ourselves into other people's shoes and think about the possibilities.


Rogan also spoke about how it could be any of us. That any of us could snap in the right circumstances and IMO, he's right.

Man, **** Aaron Hernandez.

He could of gotten mental help at the best psychiatric facilities in the world. Soldiers come back from war seeing much worse, and live productive lives.

He was an enabled, spoiled, brat, that ended up being mentally weak. No wonder he liked to carry guns everywhere, make believe gangsta. He was guilty of the crime he just got off for too, just couldn't prove it.
