0:00 I've always thought that because I always felt My Views are so different from the world and I always feel like how come the world is so driven by their feelings you could just be off [Music] we're gonna be talking about one of Nick's favorite topics today what is it Napoleon complex what do you mean why is that one of my favorite complex what topics why is that one of my favorite complex is that one of your favorite things no I don't know this guy's branding me with okay sex after um I haven't had sex in a really long time that's a lie here almost too long too long some I'd say Okay aren't you married I am married okay yeah yeah so apparently I'll just

0:50 just busy schedules that's what happens when you get married you have less sex kind of we're just working too much so it's keeping quiet so a new study has found that shorter people are more likely to be psychopath that's true really I agree with that Napoleon's complex what what's the height yeah well what is the short U.S scientists have studied the condition also known as Napoleon complex and discovered that smaller people are more likely to have dark Triad personality traits but like I got a question I got a question so like depends on like the average so let's say you are a Samoan man and everyone around you is six five then if you're a six foot dude you're a short guy Napoleon complex relativity yeah it's all about relativity so it's like Asians are like

1:40 let's say five five to five seven right and that means like what that means if you're five two you're short I'm your shirt to the world but still dude five two is pretty short yes if you're a guy kind of yes please out of all the of all the I know a lot of guys that's cool that's cool man that's dope thanks man some would say he knows more guys than girls because he's really fond of men that's absolutely true that's absolutely true it's just part of the business that I'm in but a lot of guys that I know that are like five two or below they're like short and they're kind of insecure about it they are kind of psychopath I thought you were going to be supportive they're not very likable can I be like they're not I thought he was gonna say something different hey let him speak his truth guys I

2:30 remember I was at a rave right I was at a rave and then the security guys were trying to um go up to this group and take their drugs and all that and then this guy that was like 5-1 he had no shame to step on top of a bench and talk down and talk ████ to them that way so he wouldn't go up like that but he jumped on top of a bench that was in the back where everyone was smoking kind of smart and he got up like like this and then he started talking ████ back down to the he was going down to them like that and then all the security guards were looking like this and I was like that was one of the funniest things did he go hold on hold on and then he got on the bench oh they're they're like fighting and then he just got up on top so he could start talking ████ like this yeah that's effective yeah very effective because they were listening okay yeah he embraced the shortness no he he got on his booster yeah yeah so

3:22 the uh the dark Triad personality traits apparently it's like a test um it includes characteristics like a lack of remorse an inflated self of self a sense of self-importance and narcissistic Tendencies that's definitely would you agree Nick I think that's true kind of the study was I think it spotless uh which was published uh the personality and individual differences Journal found that shorter people are more likely to be antagonistic as they try to offset the disadvantages they encountered due to their height good everybody's trying nobody's disagreeing with the song I think that's kind of true is it also relative to just the way you perceive the world because you have to look up at everybody you're like ████ man well no I'm saying like something you're looking down at me and ████ some people don't think they're short I mean some don't think they're tall but they could be you know I mean like it could be it's so individualistic too like we know people

4:13 who are fat but they think they're buff yeah yeah sitting right here dude and there's people that are short but they don't think they're short we had this fat ass friend that put his fat ████ arm next to Bart and then he was like Joe don't you wish your arms was as buff as ours no it's it's like a baby's arm it's soft and gentle babies yeah and then he ████ puts it next to Bart's arm like yeah don't you wish it was big like hours I don't even know why you said that I don't even know what we're doing because Bart it would never be like and he's like how big he said it and he said it seriously yeah we're just I was like I don't even know what we're making steaks or something that'd be such a great joke if he was ████ around no he really he was serious he was being serious he has body dysmorphia in the

5:05 other way oh yeah whoa that's kind of cool though that's probably the best best case we'd be going shopping for jeans and ████ and he's all getting like ████ 30 ones when he should be a 48 or something God damn those are but you know when they're serious he makes it fit dude he makes it fit when they're serious like that like oh you know like don't you wish are your arms as big as ours I love that like I remember a guy and um yeah I think it was post College he goes man you know what but High School I was just good looking but now I got the personality to go with the good looks and people are like say what you did it and he was serious so no one could say anything you couldn't really joke about it because he was so serious because that's probably the best though dude you know it's a weird a weird thing I noticed is that like I totally forgot that short people might have that complex

5:56 oh wow my watch said it's not sure she understands what you're saying she's offended I met it I got a friend that I met and he's like a short like way shorter than most Asians anyways but he's such a confident dude and so cool and he has like the personality of like a 6-2 dude that's what I mean there's people like that I think it's like relative to how you perceive yourself but the funny they're rare but like the fact that I'm noticing that and thinking it's Unique kind of gives that away like I shouldn't think that that's like remarkable oh I see but like it's there's a flag going off that's like wow you're actually really cool for a short guy right yeah it's like noticing on the other side yeah like that shouldn't be replace short with black and just recently like just just say it again I'm just curious like what it sounds like

6:47 yeah all right so check it out I got this homie right is that uh an example of a Napoleon complex or not no it's an example of there's an acknowledgment in your mind that it no no I mean I I understand from your perspective I'm saying like for like somebody who happens to be short but like is able to like confidently just like be himself but then that I think is different from Napoleon because I think that is more like he himself is just yeah he doesn't see kind of like over compensate overcome so yeah I understand that's what it comes down to he's like super charming and cool and like everything that you would think like the big man on campus but he's like a little guy yeah like that's unique that's like a unicorn like I know God yeah that's a unicorn for sure and so because as soon as you say he's confident it's like how many people do we know that's confident in general yeah in general yeah and then and then throwing the fact they're five foot two yeah so then you know that's an

7:37 anomaly or yeah that's like Tim he he doesn't have a psychopath bone in his body but he's a very confident like kind fun guy like his unicorn yeah so check this out this is uh I looked this up uh The Dirty Dozen test um basically is a scientifically validated and shortened version of the dark Triad test like the dark Triad test The Dirty Dozen measures the socially undesirable traits of narcissism machiavellianism and psychopathy the dark side test is often used by police in the courts in psychiatric Wards and evaluation and even in big corporations so I'm gonna ask some questions question one of twelve I tend to want others to pay special attention to me disagree or agree agree agree okay we're all in entertainment we can't disagree all right I'm moving this over to agree I I have to say I do think I'm a psychopath we are at the end of the test already Mark can we just answer some questions

8:27 yeah I think so too I've always thought that that always felt My Views are so different from the world and I always feel like how come the world is so driven by their feelings that's how I've always felt you could just be autistic too that could be it I don't think they call this a psychopathy I think that what they call this low emotional um like is that the same thing though I think well I have empathy like I feel for like I'll watch Kung Fu Panda and I'm crying and ████ I don't think I'm not sure Psychopaths can have um that empathy that's what that's the difference oh yeah you just don't even have it I see because I I empathize for people like I feel when people go through something bad like I feel for them a lot because I mean sometimes being pragmatic can be thought as psychopath or you could have psychopath type thoughts over time so for example

9:19 like let's say you become like a world leader right over time you become numb to certain things you're exposed to like choosing a decision between um invading this country for oil or this country for something else but you have to do it because it's going to make your country better yeah and that's the reality of like Modern Warfare right you have to do it both decisions you're not a psychopath but then like you grow to understand well but that's not talking that's not talking about common people though you know what I'm saying okay go through the questions that come like generalize understanding I have used deceit or lied to get my way agree or disagree yeah and that's all guys yeah I'm like who has some point I tend to exploit others towards my own end exploit I don't know that's almost the same thing but I don't know about it that's like being an opportunist yeah I feel like it's more of a pattern it

10:09 sounds like it's more of a pattern oh yeah I would say disagree I would say disagree for all y'all I'll say strongly agree dude [Laughter] I tend to manipulate others to get my way yeah everyone does all three of these lastings could be forging my mom's trying to report cards I've done all of those at Chipotle already I tend to lack remorse oh can I get the extra can I just have a little bit more hey the the you know the additional I've done all of those at Chipotle I think I think what what's different though is that uh I think what's different though is is how Psychopaths execute these things they're not long lasting so like people who think long term they can do these things but they don't skin the Sheep they Shear the Sheep so like basically it's not about like exhausting those resources and burning people out as you go along

10:59 it's more like that's why those two can be confused confusing right like one could be exploitation while other can be like a long time of employment so like there's a difference between yeah so slavery basically but then it's like how how much are you giving to your team versus like someone who's completely taking all the resources and everything this person's energy has yeah I tend to lack remorse I don't think that's true I don't think so we all have guilt we all have yeah yeah I have used flattery to get my way Chipotle Chipotle Chipotle I love your hat I tend to seek Prestige or status is that what I tend to seek Prestige or status yeah I ordered three burritos

11:50 this week to make it uh it's all Chipotle this just this just sounds like driven people I tend to not be too concerned with the morality of my actions yo this just this just this just describes sales people that's all it is I tend to be callous or insensitive oh no no no I try to be sensitive yeah sometimes I think I tend to want others to admire me I don't give a ████ about that I wouldn't be making fun of myself I tend to be cynical that's just fun only torturically cynical yeah I tend to expect special favors from others no that's weird that's just entitlement unless they're sexual hell

12:40 yeah yeah all right so dirty dozen results uh says you versus the population average we're the average no no this is actually funny you versus the population average in terms of narcissism we as a collective have 63 that's higher than the population yes uh well we're ████ honest in terms of machiavellianism we have 69 which is almost double the population I don't know what that means something about Tupac [Laughter] in terms of how Psychopathic we are we are 25 which is about the same as average and then in terms of the average in general we're at 52 Which is higher than average so this makes us 18.83 darker than the average I think this test sucks and we should take a kink

13:31 test we passed the Chipotle test my burrito's way fatter than those yeah I feel like if you were I feel like if you were asking a real psychopath these questions they'd just be like stop asking me all these questions Anthony thank you [Music]
