    284 Why Good People Commit Horrific Crimes
    Jul 1 2025
    It is one of the most unsettling truths about humanity: under certain conditions, good people—those who are compassionate, loving, charitable, and often admired by peers—can commit crimes so horrific that they seem to defy all logic. When faced with such atrocities, society is often quick to label the perpetrator as inherently evil, mentally ill, or irredeemable. Yet the reality is much more complex and disturbing.

According to this idea, mental illnesses are like diabetes or high blood pressure: a glitch in brain chemistry that needs a pharmaceutical fix, usually in the form of antidepressants or other psychiatric meds. This model has been useful in some ways, especially in reducing stigma by promoting the idea that mental illness is a medical condition rather than a moral failing. However, it is also deeply flawed and is increasingly recognized as scientifically outdated.
