So what if I told you to make a skeptical facial expression? Like you're really skeptical about some information. Somebody's selling you some bullshit. There it is. So the lower part of the eye wrinkles up. Right. And what about when you're hearing information that you really want to pay close attention to? Your eyebrows will come down and squeeze together, which is yours.

So you have those wrinkles. And this muscle right here is called the glabella. So that thing squeezes together. And you'll see people over time, yours is etched in there more than your forehead, more than anything else. So you're analytical, like taking in data, making sure you get it all, process everything perfectly.

With our forehead being such an emotional billboard for connecting with other people, when we do this little eyebrow flash thing, you won't see those forehead wrinkles in psychopaths. I still haven't seen deep forehead wrinkles in a psychopath. That little connection, that emotional connection that we make to other people and how we express ourselves, the eyebrows coming up. And if I could...

I'll tell you a story from Dr. Robert Hare. He's the number one researcher in psychopaths. And this is from his book on psychopathy.

He says that psychopaths are attracted to cities, and I think cities are more likely to manufacture psychopathy. Tell me more. So our brains are not designed. They haven't changed in 200,000 years.

This is why we have things like the bystander effect, which maybe you've heard of it. So if there's people around a large crowd and you get stabbed or shot or anything, The more people around you, if you need help, the less likely you are to get help.

No expression. It's just him and the other guy. Him and the guy getting killed and he's filming the whole thing.
