		<description>BTW for any sociopaths interested in modern philosophy, Sam Harris is a modern Epicurean Consequentialist worth checking out.</description>

		<description>Hey hey hey now.

Just because we have no conscience doesn&#039;t make us all bad. I mean I&#039;m a sociopath and I have philosophy and ethics and social contracts, I don&#039;t just go around stabbing people for lulz or anything. I troll people for lulz but I don&#039;t stab them :3

But seriously all being a sociopath means is that we lack or have an extremely diminished capacity for social emotions. We aren&#039;t all antisocial, antisocials are a subset of sociopaths and may also include nonsociopaths such as narcissists and aspies.

A lot of us were born this way, I have a cortisol disorder myself. And just wanna point out, you empaths have very selective emotions, most Nazis weren&#039;t sociopaths you know? Nor were most Crusaders, or most witch burners at Salem, nor are most soldiers who drop bombs on people. The guy who flew the plane to drop the Hiroshima nuke never lost a night of sleep and wouldn&#039;t be made to feel guilty for anything he did that day, but he had an abundance of love and empathy for his family.

What I&#039;m saying is, empaths commit all the crimes they project onto us, and we aren&#039;t all monsters.</description>

		<description>objectively speaking, most of people will feel true love or attachment to just an insignificant amount of people. so say, most of the people are attached to a group of 100 people (thats a psychological phenomena, people don&#039;t give a shit about outgroup ones), out of around 7 billion. sociopaths would be attached to 0 out of 7 billion -&gt; not much difference. On the other hand, most of the people are able to do as much emotionally destructive things to outgroup people as sociopaths are able to do that to anyone. So combine with the obove ratios, and see that sociopaths are not so much worse then you are (probably). You might say that they kill, but, they don&#039;t realy, only in very hazardous locations, where, normal people would also kill outgroup people just as easily (but for that to be sure, you should travell to such a place to see). If you are in a leading position, taking into acount your 100- or at best 500 group of people, you easily don&#039;t give a ____ about the rest. And if there are no more then 100000 thousand highg level leaders, then probably, there will be significant amount of people who are not much important to leader people. all the people, sociopath or not, have trained behaviours however. Trying to invent a behaviour (habbit so to speak) which would make people non violent against eachother, is better then &quot;fighting&quot; sociopaths, since from the above estimations it is evident that most of other people are just as bad (if those estimations are close enough to reality, which i think they are).</description>

&quot;The problems are growing from feeding the Newtonian Linear based reductionist machine&quot;

I disagree. The Newtonian Reductionist model is just that, a model. The problem is in the minds of those who use it, not in the model itself. It&#039;s a tool, like quantum mechanics is a tool and as our cultural world view is a tool. 

Understanding this does not mean you have to think it isn&#039;t worthy of your respect or that it doesn&#039;t deserve credit as a powerful force in every day life. 

It&#039;s just an opportunity for you to expand your awareness and understanding.</description>

		<description>Okay, here&#039;s my actual website. I didn&#039;t include it before for obvious reasons. But, I&#039;ll take the first step and be the honest person here.</description>

		<description>The term I pick also use a log much like the one you point to. I actually thought I was about to read about sociopaths who were exchanging criminal endeavors and voting about who to appoint &#039;King of Badass Socios&#039;. 

Maybe that&#039;s part of your plan? To lure them here? 

Anyway, you&#039;re not doing anything new, my friend. You&#039;re pointing to sociopaths in powerful positions - that would be the mob. But everybody already know about them. Why do you think they still have influence? Because they talk mice to the politicians and the police? And now you ask individual common folk to &#039;blow the whistle&#039; on these guys?

&quot;Don&#039;t worry about being wrong about the details&quot;.

I have rarely heard advice as bad as this. You are asking people to mimic the behavior that you want to get rid of. Do you know about habit forming dynamics? If your advice works people will use in other aspects of their lives as well. 

You are a very good example of what psychopathic individuals are trying to put forth: You need the psychopaths! They are part of the human race, and by rejecting them you are rejecting elements of yourself that the human race needs in order to survive.

In other words: You think you&#039;re trying to kill us, but you&#039;re hurting yourselves more than you can ever hurt us. Why won&#039;t you learn? I&#039;ll give you a simple clue as to where you can find the answer to what you - and the other normal, non-psychopath people - are doing wrong: 

Concentration Camps and &#039;The Final Solution&#039;. - Used with the purpose of eliminating the Jews, the Gypsies, the... you name it, everything not very normal and common at the time. 
The hunted people were seen as not really human and the cause of all evil.

Medieval Witch Hunts. - This was used against people who were somehow different and didn&#039;t seem to share the most common ideas and ways of living, in an attempt to eradicate the devil and those who were not Christians. 
The hunted people were seen as not really human and the cause of all evil.

Your kind will never learn, author! That is why you need the few who can face what you cannot. Everybody have their place, it is you who create conflict by insisting that you are any better than others merely because of your numbers. You lack logic, how can you possibly hope to come up with any solution?

I rest my case.</description>
