MACHINERY · THE CRIMINAL BRAIN ON TRIAL
FRANKENSTEIN'S ECONOMIST
ONE POLL · FOUR INGREDIENTS

Can you build a killer?

Enter A–D vote counts, or use the demo to explore. Then test four traits.
CLASS POLL · ENTER VOTE COUNTS
THE RULES OF THE EXPERIMENT

Same opportunity.
Same punishment.
Different decisions?

Change the circumstances. See how the economic calculation differs from the brain-based explanation.

Finally, discover which fictional killer archetype the class has assembled.

Poll votes shape our fictional monster, not the probability displays. Those are assumed examples for comparing mechanisms, not measured murder probabilities.

What kind of killer did your class create?

The poll picks the ingredients; your scenario choices shape the fictional profile.

We are not all the same potential murderer.

Your class created —. Now put the original theory on trial.
STARTING STORY · SIMPLIFIED ECONOMIC CRIMINOLOGY

Anyone might find murder pays.

If the expected gain exceeds punishment and moral costs, anyone could potentially kill.

Gain − expected punishment − moral cost → choice
The calculation takes these values as given.
WHAT FRANKENSTEIN EXPOSED · NEUROECONOMICS

The same incentives feel different.

Brains differ in reward, fear, self-control and empathy. The same threat does not feel the same.

Same punishment → different brain responses → different choices
Some trait combinations may raise vulnerability to violence.
THE REVEAL · WHAT HAS ACTUALLY BROKEN?
Same punishment. Different brains. Different deterrence.We began with everyone as a potential killer. Now we see why some people may be more dangerous under the same incentives.
A simplified benchmark, not all rational-choice economics. Poll votes are opinions, not brain measurements. Fictional profiles cannot predict who will kill.
