That's really what morbid curiosity is about.
But there's still a distinct domain within morbid curiosity that is about violence because there are a lot of ways to learn about violence.
So we talked about three of them.
One is learning about it by learning about the minds of other people, predicting who's going to be dangerous and when and why.
Another one is learning about the outcomes of violence.
That's the bodily injuries one.
The third one, the supernatural one, is actually very similar to the minds of dangerous people, but it's about things or people we can't see or access.
So we have to like learn about these people who we just don't have any access to, right?
The ghosts, the aliens, the gods, the whatever.
The violence domain is about just witnessing violence itself and seeing how that unfolds.
We talked about women with true crime and how they're feeling more prepared maybe now that they've listened to this true crime podcast.
They carry mace with them or they carry a pen with them or whatever.
They know what they're going to do if somebody tries to capture them.
I think men do something similar with boxing or UFC.
So you watch a UFC fight, right?
What are you doing?
Well, you might enjoy the sport or you enjoy the competition nature of it.
Maybe you have a favorite fighter.
But you're also just watching simulations.
I mean, they're real fights.
