2019-05-20 at 9:58 PM UTCBecause they were originally human, rather than starting out reptilian the way psychopaths do. Not trying to bash reptilians though. A large percentage of my city's population is sociopaths and psychopaths, perhaps higher than any other modern city in the US.

San Antonio TX. I've personally known a shitload of people that were sociopaths or psychopaths, and an awful lot of people that've killed more than one person. Contrary to what a lot of people think psychopaths and sociopaths aren't automatically violent. I suspect the military has figured out how to induce these "disorders" and certain forms of autism, bipolar and schizophrenia are related to APD

Originally posted by Sophie There's a misconception in how psychopath brains work. I read about a study recently where they MRI'd some psychopaths, had them look at some stuff that would stimulate empathy/sympathy in normal people. As you'd expect the parts of the brain related to empathy didn't light up, however, when these people were asked to try to feel empathy/sympathy and they were shown the images again, the parts of their brain normally associated with empathy and such did show activity.
This is interesting, but not entirely surprising to me.
I still remember this term paper I wrote like 10 years ago for my first psychology class (we were given a list of topics to choose from for our term papers). One of the topics was "should psychopaths be held accountable for their crimes under the law?". And there was actually some Scandinavian country that had hypothesized a granular "responsibility scale", rather than looking at it as a strictly binary matter like most judicial systems do (i.e. you either get life in prison or you walk out of the courtroom a free man, depending on whether or not you are found to be legally responsible for your actions, and there is absolutely no middle ground). I always found that kind of thing a bit extreme - regardless of which direction it takes.
But anyway, yeah, the main argument for legally punishing psychopaths for their crimes exactly as though they were not diagnosed as legitimate psychopaths is that they still know and understand the difference between right and wrong, even if it doesn't come totally naturally to them.
But simple intuition, as well as studies like the one you mention, all make me feel like it's more complex and thus needs a more complex solution (like a granular sentencing approach, where the pre-existing neurological condition is taken into account). -

Not trolling. Although I'm sure people would assume that when I say that I've been able to control electricity similar to the girl in the video, although not nearly as well. Fire and water, too.
And a bunch of other crazy shit. Although a lot of it is gnosis. Gotta love heroes though. I know a guy who is most definitely a sociopath, but kinda sorta has morals in some way. He has some of the same abilities. Possibly a serial killer. That wouldn't be the only one I've known though. -

She confides in Peter that she has lived in the Company's holding facility for 16 years. She also admits to being diagnosed as a sociopath; she explains at age six, she accidentally set her grandmother's house on fire and, at age eight, caused a major blackout in Ohio. She also says that she spent her ninth birthday in a glass room with an IV of lithium in her arm.
Everyone I've met with definite, repeatable paranormal abilities, seems to be a sociopath or psychopath, or very close to it, strangely.
lies bring attention? lol it's not like anyone would believe me so if I was lying, don't you think I'd go for something believable? -
2019-05-20 at 11:23 PM UTCAnd if I'd cooperated with the government, I would either be dissected or in a military prison at the moment. Hmm
EDIT: maybe stuck in a lab somewhere being injected with god knows what. APD runs in my family, now that I think about it. -
2019-05-20 at 11:45 PM UTCMaybe we're all on the spectrum.
