Everyone has taken a car off lot without permission even for legit reasons, or taken a ball point pen home. Stupid stuff we all had done. I never heard anything so I figured I passed. Never heard of they caught anybody either. Cust. Could have lost the gun or never had one to begin with. I think I took a roll of toilet paper also:) one for the truck

[@Baachus2012]

I've beaten a lie detector test easily. First, you get yourself to be as calm as possible. Stare blankly at a point in the room and control your heartbeat and breathing. Then when they ask the baseline, stay in that state. When asked to tell your lies, at the moment you answer, make yourself excited to get an adrenaline rush. This spikes the lie to a relatively higher number. Then when they proceed to ask the questions and you respond, get back into the calm state. Even if you bump the numbers up a fraction, it doesn't meet the line where you told a lie and therefore is considered a pass.

[@SkyDiving_StormTrooper]

Joe! Great vid as always bro. Long time Answerphile here. Just wondering if I could convince you to do a vid covering the Prison Industrial Complex. It is very real and not talked about as much as it should be. So many people aren't even aware that private companies are lobbying governments to lock more people up for sheer profit. Privatized prisons and probation systems are examples. Did you know Ohio among other states literally has a program that forces inmates to work in shops for companies like Ford, Honda, GE, GM, and others for literally pennies an hour. The state gets 3 dollars an hour per hour worked per inmate but gives said inmate only 20 ot 30 cents of it or less. They say it is volintary and allows inmates to learn valuable skills but even putting it on the resume just throws up red flags that sends your application straight to the garbage can. Also if the inmate refuses the do the assignment they are put in the "hole" for months or years until they comply. My cousin has been through this twice and has tried putting this on his resume. Usually this just makes him a target for instant rejection as it shows he was locked up before a background check but at the times the companies took interest and called in learn more, the state denied the program even existed. In Ohio it is calles Ohio Penal Industries. The name says it all. A letter to governor Kasich was leaked showing an executive at Yamada, a subsidiary of Honda, saying they would pay to have several more assembly shops opened on prison grounds if Kasich could promise to keep those prisons at 80 percent capacity or more to supply the workers. A large privatized prison company had a letter written by its COO leaked that was to the very same Governor stated they would take over Ohio's prisons at two thirds the industry standard if he could get laws passed to increase the average sentence of inmates by three years and do away with all forms of early release. They submitted a proposal to getting rid of the parole board altogether. They lobbied to take over the probation systems if legislation was passed to make 3 to 5 years probation, what they called Enhances Community Control (not even kidding) mandatory as a part of every sentence for a felony even if the offense was nonviolent or completed in full. Look it up. I am not kidding or exaggerating in the least. I am sure more and worse is going on all over. Did you know one in three american adults have a record and that number is rising fast? Also the US has less then ten percent of the world's population but over 25 percent of its incarcerated persons. Those with a record cant find jobs after release and that causes issues for the economy. A large background check firm lobbied with the state of Florida to have laws passed that would allow them to perform background checks without the consent of someone and to gain access to their juvenile record. Another company is lobbying even now to place all offenders on a registry like sex offenders, even those who had already committed their crimes years ago, that they could create and maintain for the state and would include employment, address, and credit info they would have the rights to package and sell like Facebook and Google does with data they collect. Another company proposed having what is calles Civil Commitment expanded to more than just serious sex offenders to include any criminal who has more than one of any kind of offense and any violent offender. They of course would be the sole runners of these facilities and would offer the "rehabilitation" programming and would make the decision when the inmate was "fit" to be free again. This is in addition to whatever their court sentence was. The proposal also included provisions to have these civilly confined persons work in shops for other companies for pennies or nothing as real inmates already do as part of there much needed reprogramming. We are talking about confining people indefinitely for potentially anything, even stupid shit like child support. This sounds good for creeps that keep hurting kids or habitual violent people, but they want to be able to hold any offender potentially and have the sole discretion of when they get to leave. Look it up. This is real. I used to think it was all bullocks until my cousin showed me his paperwork. He was in the hole for 32 months of his 60 month sentence for continual nonpayment of child support because he refused to assemble wire harnesses for Honda or make corrugated cardboard for Georgia-Pacific. His child support still racks up while locked up making him automatically in default when he is released and now he has a record getting a job is harder which makes paying harder which leads to being locked up again. These companies are zeroing in on passing laws like this for child support specifically all over for some reason. One proposal was made on Texas to pass a law that could have people in any kind of debt be civily confined to work camps where each day of labor would generate income toward their debts while the confined persons get next to nothing because their food and "housing" is provided. The money they would earn would be so low that a person there would take five or six years just to pay off ten grand of debt. The work they do for other companies would yield less than minimum wage, and they would get next to none of it. This would not create a debtor's prison or be double jeopardy as it would be civil and not through a criminal court. The proposal had student loan debt and hospital bills at the top of the list. I dare you to look this up yourself. Anyone with a shred of empathy would soon be overwhelmed at the sheer collousness and inhumanity of it all.

I enjoy all your videos but this one had me laughing out loud. The Cosby bit, comment section overload, good stuff.

[@erickbush1167]

Good vid. The sciencey stuff on lie detectors is pretty well known however the background/ history of the life detector was really interesting. You should do a truth serum vid. You could delve into the hollywood myth vs reality... if there even is a reality for truth serum. Maybe its complete hollywood BS which i guess would make it a short vid. Still, I'd like to know and it could be really interesting.

[@philippesantini2425]

Ahhh! Morning Joe with my morning joe! Thanks for another well thought out and presented topic/production. Biggest lie I can think of, in my opinion, is any lie one tells themselves and chooses to believe...denial. It's one of my biggest fears, to fool or delude myself. That said, I tried always being honest but surprisingly or not, many people don't like it & end up avoiding you/me. These people often lie to themselves and want others to go along with it. Especially in group setting. The best way I found around this is to use the Socratic method, it works for lies aswell as with flawed reasoning...the catch is you must remain emotionally neutral(not snarky or sarcastic) and genuinely curious and interested. Sometimes it means playing dumb. ;)

[@lestermilton226]

One of your funniest vids. Awesome joe!

[@Adrian-yn4qg]

That section on police violence was pretty funny. I do have one story I'd like to share on the topic. My uncle is a retired office serving somewhere in New York (I won't get specific about where). We were discussing the whole black lives matter thing and I asked if he could answer a question I had honestly. He agreed. I want to say, my uncle is objectively a good human being. The question was, "have you ever worked a single day as a cop and not had to lie to help or otherwise protect another officer regarding some form of misconduct"? The answer was no, he'd never worked a single day without having to lie in someway for his fellow officers. I should mention that we were counting lies of omission.

[@rust_in_peace5123]

I'm an officer and I've never had to lie for another officer. For what it's worth. However, I work for a good department in Texas and I've seen some really shady shit at other, less professional departments with much lower standards. We just fired a dude at my department for integrity issues, which I'm thrilled about. If I ever feel pressure to lie in my line of work, I'll find another job. I've heard New York still has alot of "good old boy" departments. With the exception of one guy, I haven't liked any cops I've worked with who came from New York..

Hey. I have an "um actually" to barf out so bear with me. @4:30, Joe says "the more psychotic you are the more likely you are to pass a lie detector test" after just explaining that the green river killer was a psychopath. Psychopathy and psychosis are two different things. The conflation of the two is common in popular media but psychosis is a condition where it becomes difficult to differentiate between reality and fantasy. Being psychotic does not necessarily imply a lack of empathy and an individual experiencing psychosis who is not a psychopath would still fail a polygraph test. That being said, I'd love to see a video on mental health myths like this one. :3

[@sebastianjasper2308]

Some years ago, I had a lifechanging experience after eating magic mushrooms. Well I mean the entire experience was more than awesome, but there was one amazing after effect to it I really liked: for at least half a year after this experience I was completely unable to lie, even if the truth was uncomfortable, I just had to be honest - and it was a great feeling by the way! As time pased, the influence of our society made me comfortable with lieing again. But since that experience I bear in my mind how great honesty feels, and now again I try to remember myself of that feeling!

@@DallasMay I recently read a Superman comic book where Superman called Batman (in disguise) to come give a polygraph test to this guy claiming to be Clark Kent, and it honestly baffled me because both Batman and Superman should know that polygraph tests are bullshit. One of them is a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter, the other is LITERALLY The World's Greatest Detective, and they're both pretty smart on science stuff, so why they thought a polygraph was a good idea is a mystery.

[@ThrottleKitty]

They are litterally good for nothing, as they litterally do nothing. It's basically the equivalent of a really shitty blood pressure reader with tons and tons of noise in the data. It's been very thoroughly shown that the act of going through the testing process affects the things it's testing to the point where even if it did have any sort of tangible use for measuring something, it would be a terrible way to do it as the device itself taints the testing process. Imagine an blood pressure test that you had to ride a roller coaster while taking it.

One time I took a lie detector test for a job in a convenience store. I went out and ran five miles in ninety-five degree weather before I took the test because I thought it would relax me. I was always drenched in sweat after I ran, especially in the summer. I sweat a lot. Also, I was in AA at the time because I was a recovering alcoholic. I have since been diagnosed as a schizophrenic. When I took the test they asked me if I had ever knowingly written a bad check. When I was in the army back in 1980 I had written a check I knew would bounce, but I knew I could cover it at the end of the month. I got a penalty for that, but I was willing to pay it. I bet the only definite reading they got on me was when they asked me if I was sitting in a chair.

I don't smoke, I don't have a criminal record.. I strongly believe that I was intenionally failed, because I'm foreign Born law abiding US citizen. If I had a negative background, I wouldn't have made to polygraph test... The device was created so that certain people learn how to operate it and have a Job...

When I was in the military, I had a top secret clearance. When it came time to re-up it, I had to take a lie detector test. Dude said it should only take about 30 minutes. We were in there for 4 1/2 hours, and he finally gave up and just passed me because every single one was inconclusive. The problem? I breathe erratically. I just do it naturally. This causes a lot of issues with how the system works. I also have nerve damage in my left hand, which was causing micro stutters in my fingers that I never noticed, which was also sending the machine on the fritz.

I have had this idea that it might work if you work out 2 different questions for yourself that you answer yes to one and no to the other. So regardless of what question you get when in the polygraph, you simply answer your own questions that you have in your head. Do you think that will work ?

Great video If it's a stranger performing the test, I can't say I'd feel that nervous taking it. For some reason when I see myself feeling really nervous is if someone I know personally were to be asking the questions, particularly my parents or wife. Not sure I'd be willing to step on a tack for those situations, though. Anyway, inserting reiteration of persona pet peeve here: 8:18 pointing to empty space on the screen while speaking about Google suggested videos. 8:35 said video box finally appears while now speaking about T-Shirts (Edit: actually looking it up this time, yes, 20 second limit, BUT I'm still curious how well an edited-in, place-holder "loading" box would look while waiting for the real ones to actually show up.)

Monitor asked me to think of a number between 1 & 10, write it down, show the class then sit on it so it would be closer to my brain. (funny guy) I wrote pi to 4 places... Then he asked a baseline series and eventually got to asking me what my number was, going randomly through the possibilities, requesting that I respond negatively to each number, which I did. But he only asked about whole numbers! lol ID10t, just sayin... He told us you can't really beat the machine, only the interpreter...he was mistaken, I beat them both. 8)

Psychopathic and psychotic are two VERY different things.

It should also be noted that neither psychopathy nor psychosis increases the chance someone will be violent, in fact usually the opposite is true.

[@mikeciul8599]

Not long ago I saw the movie "Mr. Marston and the Wonder Women." I recommend it! It's a bio pic about William Marston, his wife, and the woman who lived with them. The movie speculates about the nature of their relationship - it may not be true but it's a fascinating story, and it goes into Marston's interest in the polygraph, his theory about power relationships, and the surprisingly frequent BDSM scenes in the original Wonder Woman comic. It reminded me a bit of "Theory of Everything," that Eddie Redmayne movie about Stephen Hawking.

In second grade I convinced my teacher Mrs Borton that Josh Jenkins put my head through a single square in a chain link fence. Not only is this an impossibility but I had broken his arm and come up with this lie on the spot. I was believed and it had me doing all sorts of social “experiments” it boggled my mind that I was believed. It still does. Things that are so clear for others is murky for some, why?

I took one when I was a suspect in burglary where a bunch of guns disappeared. It got interesting when they guy asked me if I've ever killed anyone & answered, "Yes." Apparently nobody bothered to tell the polygrapher anything about my military background. LOL. Protip, don't live in podunk towns. Even the cops watch too much TV.

Joe Scott.... you ARE the father! 😂

This was very informative and more so because I watch Steve Wilcos show that relies on polygraph tests and wondered how reliable they are.

I had heard its as good as the operator and his/her handling of the test subject - to prevent a false test.

You don’t defeat the device you defeat the person giving the test.

it's been said that a coin toss is better than a lie detector, b/c the false positives are similar, but at least you can't train to beat a coin toss! 😂

Just one teensy tiny little correction: psychotic means suffering from psychosis, not acting in the manner of a psychopath. Psychosis and psychopathy are vastly different things.

[@JorgeRodriguez-ml6rv]

Awesome 😁👍

I’ll remember this when I’m uh... actually, nevermind.
