Any sources for learning Law or more importantly to me psychology? I'm naturally good I just want to sharpen and improve, always room for growth and learning
With psychology, I started getting interested when my ex's (the bigamist) ex BF who I was chatting with referenced her as a
sociopath. I didn't know too much about them at the time.. So I read lots of stuff online. A couple of my favorites that are short and sweet are:
"www.mcafee.cc/Bin/sb.html" and "www.killingmycareer.com/the-sociopathic-business-model/". The reality is that not everyone is a sociopathic, but sociopathic tendencies are a core guideline that can be applied to help gage single individuals, as well as collectives of people (like a workplace\business). Most folks have at least some of the traits of a sociopath. Need I say that more sociopathic tendencies one has, the more dangerous they are. I can't say this enough, the true sociopaths are BAD BAD people. Minimize or better yet avoid, if feasible\possible. Of course there are other areas of psychology besides sociopaths which I read up on somewhat. But no other area, IMO, has been more beneficial and applicable to my daily life than learning about sociopathic traits in people.
With law, me being a police officer hasn't hurt. In the police world we learn a pretty good foundation of the legal/justice system but by no means is it even close to as deep as what lawyers learn in law school. I really took a broader interest in law when, again, I was going through sh|t with the ex bigamist. I started taking documents that my or her lawyers wrote, and picking them apart. Researching applicable laws in my State, Federal laws,etc. That lead to wanting to learn more about the justice system as a whole. Aside from looking at official sources online, one of my favorite references are the
Nolo Law Books. They are one of the few groups who's core philosophy is to learn law yourself rather than pay a lawyer for everything.. By the end of that ordeal with my ex, I was writing my own court documents and all my attorney was doing was reviewing, signing them and filing them with his name. In the world of law, there is a stigma for lack of a better term that is just like our blue pill\red pill stigma with women. In law, the world is brainwashed into thinking that you need a lawyer to do so much as read a statute that says "don't murder or you will go to jail". The most intelligent people all the sudden become dumb when it comes to law, because the world has brainwashed them into believing that they are dumb. But it's not rocket science, it really isn't. I have an attorney now who gives me the best of both. I write my own stuff and when I feel the need, he reviews it to make sure all is good. I pay him $200 instead of $2000, and I proceed on my own. And doing this, I have one every single battle 100%.
