📝 dr.dietz and dahmer discuss steven tuomi:
** transcript from the trail **
j.d: “since i had completely failed in trying to resist the urges, yeah i just, i just went with it, embraced it.”
dr.d: “decided not to try.”
j.d: “right, right.”
dr.d: “but the only time you tried to resist was when you were going with religion with your grandma.”
j.d: “right.”
dr.d: “and then the failure with the fellow at the ambassador, do you even remember what happed there?”
j.d: “after that there was no resistance after that, none. It was a gradual escalation, drinking, bath clubs, book stores, bath clubs, right up until the ultimate.”
dr.d : “did you understand how self-indulgent this was?”
j.d: i did but by that time my moral compass was so shot, so totally corrupted that that was my main focus of life. These were my fantasies, that’s what fueled my fantasies. That’s what happens when you think you don’t have to be accountable to anyone, you think you can hide your activities and never have to account for them, it can lead to anything then, which it did.”
dr.d: “you think more people would have done these sort of things if you weren’t inhibited by your conscious?”
j.d: “it would depend on the person i suppose, i don’t know, I can’t speak for others. I really don’t know, I only know what happened in my case.”
dr.d: “you felt this as a struggle for a couple of years?”
j.d: “right, up until the ambassador and then there was no struggle after that, no struggle at all.”
dr.d: “you did just what you pleased.”
j.d: “right, exactly.”
