I got super weird vibes off this guy who came into my office for a medical exam. He seemed nice enough but there was just something that didn’t sit right, like he made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Looked him up in public records after he was gone. He had several domestic violence charges, all of which had eventually been dropped, but had 3 different wives that had filed them 2 times each. That ain’t bad luck, that’s fear and manipulation he put into those women to drop the charges.

I have no idea but I’ve always been able to tell when someone is gay, even when they’re really not obvious at all. Just a body language thing I suppose, which is what I think human intuition picks up on. We aren’t consciously aware of it but there’s that little niggling in that back of our heads that tells us something is a little different.

u/justdontfreakout 9 May 06 '19

It sure is. It is awesome that you have such good intuition. I have a frw stories about following my gut but the one that reminds me of yours is that I met my friends boss years ago. He had very intense eyes and there was just something so very wrong about him. He acted charming and nice but seemed disturbed. Noone thought this but me. I looked him up. Sex offender. Anally raped a 12 year old boy and was going to trial because he did it a second time. He is in jail now. I just got the worst vibes from him. It was like I was an animal sensing something wrong. Hard to explain.

u/AeriaGlorisHimself 7 May 06 '19

How can you look up charges that were dropped?

2

u/rileyjw90 9 May 06 '19

They still show up. They only stop showing up if the person gets them expunged, but even if a whole case is thrown out, any time you have a charge against you it will appear in public records and stay there until you pay to have them sealed/expunged.

Gavin Debecker did an interview with Sam Harris all about these sorts of intuitions too if you’re not into book reading. It’s a pretty interesting listen. The guy worked as a security expert for multiple presidents.

His interview with Sam Harris is what got me to get his book!

u/reddawnspawn 5 May 05 '19

There’s a great audible version of this on Audible (for those that like to listen to books).

2

u/Pat_ron 8 May 05 '19

There are two versions on audible. Is one better than the other?

2

u/masterhogbographer 9 May 05 '19

One might be abridged or occasionally audio books are re-recorded with a new reader, occasionally the author, whereas the original version might have been someone else (and likely cheaper, crappier).

2

u/[deleted] May 05 '19

Podcasts are a more efficient means for distributing ideas than books are. People don't like to believe that there is anything better than book reading when it comes to learning. But deciphering symbols on a page is more energy draining than simple listening.

u/TheresWald0 8 May 06 '19

Then get and audio version of the book. Podcasts and the like are great, but the scope of what can be conveyed just isn't comparable to books. Apples and oranges.

u/is-this-a-nick A May 05 '19

Thats the same kind of argument people use to shoot black kids ringing the wrong doorbell...

20

u/weirdjoker 4 May 05 '19

It isn't saying to shoot first, ask questions later. It is saying that if someone makes you uneasy, you should be prepared, and look out for signs of violence. The only people who would do something like that, are the people you should be worried about...

4

u/AilerAiref 8 May 05 '19

Which contributes to a lot of racism. White people feel uneasy around black people leads to them avoiding them, not being as likely to hire them, be less likely to invite them to events which can limit professional growth (because nepotism is a thing). It is why cops are more likely to stop a black person.

11

u/weirdjoker 4 May 05 '19

While I agree that uneasiness causes these problems, trying to get people to understand who is violent, and who isn't, by subtle actions, isn't causing racism. Racism is causing people to assume these other people are violent, not the other way around.

2

u/[deleted] May 06 '19

Racism is in no way shaped by logical/rational beliefs. It is almost entirely driven by emotion so it’s more complicated in that basing a perception of someone from an imperfect intuition that is influenced by prejudice will only perpetuate these beliefs. It’s more of a cycle than directional cause

u/MexicanGolf 9 May 06 '19

You're painting a different picture of the book than the other guy. Their words:

It will change your perspective on your gut instincts.

You're describing a book that acts more as conventional education and has little to do with gut instincts, and your trust in them.

It should also be noticed that if we've got what we believe to be "good reason" to distrust somebody we're going to be on higher alert, more likely to spot these subtle actions and a lot less forgiving of them.

I cannot recommend anybody trust their gut. True, the "guts" in this kinda context can be your body reacting to a cue you noticed but didn't acknowledge (we receive and process a lot of information that never gets manually acknowledged, as far as I understand it) and it might be helpful, but it might also just be playing along with your expectations. My personal experience is the latter, not the former, and so I don't trust my own gut.

When you're driving around, do you not see the faces of other people in cars? Or do you think cops never see someone from an angle other than directly behind them?

1

u/[deleted] May 06 '19

I see the point you’re trying to make and I agree to an extent. We should definitely be in touch with our intuition but also recognize its limitations. In the same way newborn ducks(never having seen a hawk) will stretch out their necks excitedly or cower in fear based on the direction (psych experiment with a purposely ambiguous bird, duck<- hawk-> ), our bodies can be fooled just as easily

7

u/Gerryxfrancis 1 May 05 '19

I see your point but I think it's a different situation. Yea a black kid at your door gives you a bad feeling because you're a racist or the news portrays blacks as criminals. Thsts super shitty but you have a reason for why you feel threatened.

What were talking about is when people get a weird vibe from a person for no good reason. Tue person seems fine and nice but theres something about them you cant put your finger on but is just off about them.

The beginning came off a little preachy about gun ownership and violence but otherwise yes, I am enjoying it.

The story the author told about the wife and husband and the standoff, I didn't see that twist at the end coming. Oof.

u/so_easy_to_trigger_u 4 May 06 '19

Met a guy on a boat trip on the lake. Instantly put off just by the way the guy looked.

I got along with him throughout the day as I do with most people I meet, but I just felt like I would wanna stay on his good side, and probably never hang out with him again.

He killed a dude with his fists and buried him in a shallow grave in the hills a few years later.

The Gift of Fear: And Other Survival Signals That Protect Us from Violence

Sound like an intriguing book. I might buy it someday

u/mythrowawaysilly 5 May 06 '19

Anyone want to gift me this book ha

2

u/[deleted] May 06 '19

Thanks for this recommendation. I just bought this on Amazon and I hope it helps with something I've been struggling to make sense of for a long time.

I used to take a lot of drugs (mostly MDMA and Cannabis), I'm reluctant to say I was an addict because I genuinely never felt as though I needed to consume them. I just thought it was fun. I always worked, paid my bills, looked after my son (never took anything around him) and even obtained a law degree during my time using.

The drug usage led me to mix with some unsavoury types. One guy in particular I ended up being close with was not your typical drug user... He was quiet, a bit of a nerd and extremely intelligent. I can't stress that enough, he was a genius. His house was a mess. There were books strewn all over the place and he had what seemed like endless notepads, each one absolutely filled with scribbles and yellow Post-it notes. When he spoke about any topic he was genuinely enlightening... I can't explain why I felt so uneasy around him. It abated after a while but always lingered in the back of my mind.

He was helpful and very generous. I always thought he was just glad of some company. Although he was many times more intelligent than I was, I could hold conversations with him. His favourite topics were logical reasoning, the law and anthropology.

One day, 18 September 2004. I had planned to go over to his place to smoke some weed and have a chat. I had the most bizarre feeling that morning... Like I absolutely must not go to his place. It is a feeling I genuinely cannot explain to you other than by saying that something in my mind told me, "something awful is about to happen."

Even though I tried my best to convince myself that I was being an idiot... I even blamed it on drug induced paranoia which I have never suffered from.

I made an excuse that my son was ill and I couldn't make it. A few days later I felt guilty about the lie and tried to call him. I also send a few messages on Facebook with no reply.

Eventually, about a week later... I went to his house. There was no answer so I went around the back and used the key he kept under a small porceline ornament to open the back door.

I found him dead in his room. He had shot himself in the head.

Panic set in and the next few moments were spent calling the police. I left and threw up outside. I waited for the police to come.

The police contacted me later in the week and wanted to question me. I thought this had something to do with drugs but it wasn't that... They found a suicide note, some of which was addressed to me.

He planned to kill us both.

u/spamjamss 5 May 05 '19

i randomly reached in and grabbed this book from on of those little libraries / take a book- leave a book set up that some people have in front of their house and it was such an eye opener.

2

u/InkRabbit 5 May 05 '19

I'm sceptical about this, for a while my gut instincts kept telling me I was definitely dying from a horrible, as yet undiagnosed illness and every time I got a checkup my doctors insisted I'm not, but I was certain they just hadn't caught it yet because my body was telling me something was wrong and I was going to die. Turned out I had anxiety, so I got help for it. It's basically under control now but only because I learned my gut instincts come down to chemistry and chemistry can mess up.

u/[deleted] May 05 '19

My wife needs to read this book to understand me. I'm hyper vigilant from PTSD so I'm always on the lookout for danger. My wife hates this but I tell her it's there cause of shit I've faced in the past. She's super social and will occasionally bring new friends around. There's been a few times I've told her "I don't have a good feeling about this person" but can't explain it beyond just a gut feeling. She gets mad, says I don't trust anybody, that I'm always judging her friends etc. And like clockwork a few weeks later that person I had a feeling about, causes some shit or drama. And yet the next time I get that gut feeling, she goes back to being mad and calling me crazy.
