The crack pipes are the nail in the coffin for me. We are most definitely watching a movie 🍿
🧠These people are stupid!
There's no way in hell the Democrats who for decades ran a well tuned and well oiled criminal corruption machine that was very efficient and ran like a sewing machine they had it down to an art and were very careful of their actions they were successful so you mean to tell me that they are going to blatantly steal an election and take office and immediately throw it all clean out the window and start tossing monkey wrenches into their well tuned well oiled machine shutting it down and then replace it with a Barnum and Bailey circus tent and act. No I don't think so We are watching a movie 🍿
It's an interesting topic for sure. Many are afraid to talk about it because there is no easy answer. Psychopaths and sociopaths gain a big advantage in that they are not bound by empathy and can brake society norms. Many probably don't end up killing people, but they'd all have no problem doing so if it gave them an advantage.
They are all parasites. They can't make society. Society needs empathy. People without empathy can't make those bonds. They copy others and learn to blend in. Even worse is that many psychopaths and sociopaths are drawn to live near each other (Washington, DC) and they can only support themselves if they have a lot of money from the sheep. The problem is that they have a relentless need to control and prevent discovery of themselves. They also think they are superior to other people because their ability to break rules gives them an advantage in society.
They can cheat and not feel bad about it.
When a civilization gets too many psychopaths and sociopaths it starts falling apart and descends into chaos. They can't fix the problem because they'll never police themselves. (Psychopathic politicians will defend psychopathic criminals). It's not even that they say "Hey I'm a psychopath". Many probably don't even realize what they are, but they know they are different from others.
Societies, like a host, can only survive so many psychopaths in control before it collapses. They can't build a community. When they enter one they try to take over, bring in more like them and destroy all resistance to their behavior.
I saw a video once about a psychopath who raped and murdered dozens of women. Many were girls between 8-12. When asked, "Why do people trust you?" He look confused and struggled for an answer until he said, "Because I look trustworthy". He had no idea what trust really was. It was all about tricking people.
You see it in Roman Polanski's work. He is a clear psychopath to me. In his stories characters are stilted and emotionless like he doesn't know how to write characters driven by love and trust. To him it's just someone got duped.
In their minds they don't get what's wrong about exploiting others. You want it, so why not take it. Society can't function that way. That's why their communities end up filthy, disorganized and riddled with crime. Psychopaths and sociopaths will not put their wants aside for the good of society.
They don't even function well if too many in the family have the trait. Imagine if two psychopathic parents have a psychopathic son. Why on Earth would he take care of them? He might try to find an easily controllable wife to do that job, but he'll never do it himself. They shield each other, but they don't sacrifice to help each other.
They need us to build what they take over.
There has to be a way to deal with them "humanely" IF we want a society where those traits are identified early.
If you go the other route and just get rid of 'em, then they'll be afraid for their lives to be exposed and will actively try to evade detection.
These fuckers are smart too, so "humane treatment" isn't always going to be setting them in front of a TV in a little cell with white pajamas.
This is why we need wide-scale conversations about it, we need to brainstorm answers.
If we do space-colony, they'll just take over other planets. Unless we sterilize them first. Maybe sterilization and then off to the space colony you go. It'll be like australia was, no rules, no guards... just let them build their own world and live in it. IDK.
I'm so glad you're a latenighter btw.
I wasn't advocating getting rid of them. As I said there are treatments to help the human brain learn empathy even if the paralimbic system is not functioning correctly. It seems like the DS medical community blocks them. They don't want treatment for it.
They say it can't be cured, but growing research says that with proper therapy and if identified at a young enough age you can use other methods to stimulate the brain to learn "empathy". (Whole rabbit hole there, but many suspect at the root there is a block that prevents the brain from learning. aka I learn that others feel pain like me).
It's like when a person has a stroke and part of the brain is damaged that allows for speech. Physical therapists help them build another route in the brain to bring back their speech. Lots of research has found success in this with people exhibiting psychopathic behavior, especially if they are still children.
When children are malnourished the brain takes on psychopathic traits as the brain goes into starvation mode and devotes its resources to survival traits instead of thinking traits (which build empathy and community).
There are many who were conditioned to become like psychopaths, but could be brought out of through therapy.
Real psychopaths (fed well) that are born that way likely can't be fixed unless detected very early in life. Even then they can only likely learn to live with it. They will always be a danger to society as they seek to gain absolute control over others.
Generally once they're an adult it's too late. However, if they are screened as kids and it is detected there is still a chance to right the brain. Unfortunately with all the chemicals (like lead) causing brain damage many kids are being manufactured to become psychopaths.
Psychopaths can't build their own world. They can't make society. Period. That requires working together and sacrificing your wants for the greater good. That requires empathy. They feel nothing when they help others or the community. All they want is accolades. Otherwise they're not interested.
They deliberately get people to fight because it entertains them and stimulates their brain.
Well the most natural thing to do, like as in the most stone-age thing to do - it seems to me - is for them to be gotten rid of. that would be the natural order.
but if there was good therapy, I spose Im all for it.
Early screening is the first step. What after that, I really don't know other than we can't just let them wander off to do their thing and pretend to be normal people. If it were me, (good thing it's not), I'd be looking at price tags for space colonies. Maybe not for all of them, but certainly for some of them.
But early screening opens a can of worms too. How accurate is the screen? And I’d imagine any parent whose kid screens positive would fight tooth and nail saying it’s false, research isn’t there etc etc.
Also if it’s a kid…how can we know for sure that’s what’s going to happen. It’s almost like Minority Report, we know you’ll commit crime in the future so let’s sterilize you first.
If we had a functioning legal system maybe the psychos would actually be locked up for their crimes but too many loopholes and corruption.
