You know, the funny thing is, people always think serial killers are geniuses

But you look at a guy like Dennis Rader, and the dumbshit sent a word document with metadata from his church computer with his username that alerted police.

I guess that hubris of narcissism comes to bite you in the arse eventually

They are just psychopaths with no empathy. Of course when they are dead cold and calm their minds would work better, but that doesn’t make them geniuses.

@SW-User true, but I think more than that comes the grandiosity factor. Most of them think they're more intelligent than others and at the same time want attention, so they end up doing stupid shit. But I guess if it wasn't for the narcissism, sadism and antisocial traits they wouldn't be serial killers.

@basilfawlty89 Those things are deep rooted in their psychology to a limit they can’t or don’t want to think straight. We fired one such guy a while ago. He thought he was better than others because he’s studying to me something while we have highly qualified people working with us who never talk about their intelligence or background.
