⁠You won’t believe what this new study found about NURSES

Overview

The video argues that people in “helping professions”—especially nurses and other caring roles—are disproportionately elevated in dark-triad-related traits, particularly psychopathy. The presenter claims this pattern fits a broader theme he associates with left-wing/woke ideology.

Central “Study” Claim

• A newly referenced paper titled “Effect of gender and age on the dark triad in helping professions…” reports that helping professionals scored significantly higher than the general population in psychopathy.
• The claim is based on results from a Slovak-version SD3 questionnaire administered to 312 samples, with participants described as predominantly female.

Presenter’s Explanation: Why Caring Professions Attract These Traits

The presenter offers several reasons for the alleged association between helping work and dark-triad traits:

• Attraction to status and prestige
  • Psychopathic or dark-triad individuals, he argues, may be drawn to the status and perceived role prestige of helping professions.
• Appeal of danger and high-stress settings
  • He suggests some roles involve exposure to danger or intense stress (e.g., social work with drug addicts or mentally ill individuals), which he implies may appeal to certain personalities.

Connection to Ideology (“Woke” / Left-Wing Rhetoric)

The presenter links the public display of kindness and moral goodness to psychological needs for superiority:

• Loud emphasis on kindness, he claims, can reflect a narcissistic “false self.”
• He argues this helps individuals gain reassurance and obtain what he calls “narcissistic supply.”
• He portrays left-wing/woke rhetoric as masking insecurity, resentment, and covert power-seeking.

Interpretation of “Kindness Signaling”

He argues that people who strongly stress how kind they are (“the lady doth protest too much”):

• may be less genuinely compassionate than they appear, and
• use public signaling to avoid confronting internal emptiness or insecurity.

Broader Alignment With His Previous Work

The presenter references his book Woke Eugenics, claiming it reviews evidence that expressions of kindness are often tied to:

• narcissism and mental instability, and
• left-wing identification correlates with machavelianism and aspects of psychopathy.

Bottom Line (Presenter’s Conclusion)

The presenter concludes that nurses (and other helping professionals) may be above average in psychopathic traits, suggesting patients should be “aware” of this dynamic when interacting with hospital staff.
