@Hex@kolektiva.social @InfoDumpTruck@mastodon.social @adam@fedi.adamm.cc @wdlindsy@toad.social Yes. That was my point in the very first instance I brought it up.

However, the knowledge of a systematic neurophysiological component cannot either be ignored.

The challenge is ultimately more in the value system. We must be able to treat psychopathy as valuable first, to be able to shape and mold it into beneficial behaviours.

That’s how we mold future society into not bringing out the toxic effects.

@gimulnautti@mastodon.green @Hex@kolektiva.social @adam@fedi.adamm.cc @wdlindsy@toad.social psychopathy is the opposite of valuable. Its social cancer. Psychopaths are intra-species predators.

@InfoDumpTruck@mastodon.social @Hex@kolektiva.social @adam@fedi.adamm.cc @wdlindsy@toad.social This is false.

Psychopathy is a component of many valuable traits.

Many successfull surgeons are psychopathic. It's common in emergency workers. Firefighters as well.

Incapacity for empathy can at times help in surviving great hardship, because it provides immunity from sadness and shock as a side-effect.

It has been preserved by evolution. I would not fight against evolution. It's stupid to fight against evolution.

Don't fall for simple us vs them games.

@gimulnautti@mastodon.green @Hex@kolektiva.social @adam@fedi.adamm.cc @wdlindsy@toad.social I'm not "falling" for anything. Just because it happens to be convenient in very specific instances that we could find other solutions for doesn't make it valuable. Every other consequence of psychopathy is awful. Stop defending the "value" of a condition that is responsible for most of the worlds needless suffering. Also the fact that surgeons are psychopaths is a PROBLEM. It leads to so much malpractice.
