    What’s alarming to me is that this shows me they don’t experience fear. It sounds like to them, it’s an inconvenience.

    So if they can’t be motivated by fear, are they actually motivated by money?

    I don’t think so. I think they’re motivated by power. Wealth has no meaning to them - you can observe the behaviors of a lot of them (with like extremely rare exceptions and they are usually the only ones not born into wealth) and they don’t match up with enjoying life.

    They don’t seem to experience joy. So if they don’t experience any emotion, that gives them a pretty concrete diagnosis of sociopathy doesn’t it? So, we have the worst of the worst humans doing as much damage to the world as possible because they can’t feel.

      Yeah, very concrete diagnosis of sociopathy. Except that diagnosis doesn’t exist. Please, leave the diagnosis to professionals. Not knowing the correct name is the first sign you shouldn’t be doing it.

        Antisocial personality disorder doesn’t exactly roll off the tounge and not nearly enough people know what it refers to.
