This episode explored a difficult but important idea:
the traits that define serial killers are not strengths—they are structural weaknesses.

Popular culture often frames serial killers as calculating, fearless, or powerful. But when examined through real cases and repeated behaviours, the opposite becomes clear. Every trait that allowed harm also guaranteed escalation, exposure, and collapse.

Manipulation

Boundary violation

Fantasy

Compartmentalization

Entitlement

What ultimately separates a normal citizen from a serial killer is not anger, trauma, or dark thoughts.

It is correction.

Most people feel guilt and stop.
Most people feel fear and pull back.
Most people recognize boundaries and restrain themselves.

Serial killers are defined not by emotionless cruelty, but by the absence of internal systems that interrupt harm.

These traits are not impressive.
They are not rare gifts.
They are warning signs.

And they always fail the person who relies on them.

Thank you for listening legends! And I hope this episode hits the spot for you! 💜💜💜💜
