"How psychopaths can save your life"

... is the title of a Kevin Dutton piece in the Guardian that I retweeted. Here are some quotable quotes:

This “new science” of psychopathy has met with resistance from many clinicians. And with good reason: their job means they only get to meet bad psychopaths. I’ve met them, too. But I have also met people more likely to save your life than take it. I wouldn’t go for a curry with many of them. But if a kid of mine had a brain tumour or my other half was on an airliner that had been taken over by al-Qaida I know who I’d like to see scrubbing up or storming the aisle. Those who go where angels fear to tread often have more in common than you might think with the demons they rub shoulders with.

Much is written about the stigmatisation of mental illness, but we still have a long way to go. What headline writer worth their weight in bold would dream of vilifying autistic individuals or victims of depression or PTSD in the same way that they pillory “psychos”? Last year in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, I and my co-authors presented the first published evidence that psychopathic traits – especially those linked to the personality dimension “fearless dominance” – are positively associated with holding leadership and management positions as well as high-risk occupations, such as police work and firefighting.

Next time you hear the word “psycho” spare a thought for the functional diaspora of card-carrying psychopaths who aren’t “psychos”. Who by their ruthlessness and fearlessness do good. And who, with their low-fat consciences and sugar-free emotions, execute the knife-edge transactions that can improve the lives of the rest of us. “You never know,” as Andy McNab points out, “next time you use the word ‘psycho’ it might even be as a compliment.”

    One of the psychopathic traits is the quest for power. What would "you" give up?

  3. I don't know whether Dutton is ever successful in carving out a unique place for psychopaths by glorifying certain traits. The traits and trait combinations he refers to simply aren't unique to psychopaths.

    It's a worthwhile project, incorporating awareness of psychopathy into the common social awareness. However, jamming them in to fit some mould of what is currently considered "good" is banal and diminishing to the entire species by reinforcing the current ruleset. He is the one doling out the sugar.

    It's a far more valuable project to look at the philosophical implications of the occurrence of psychopathy for the whole species. William James said "To study the abnormal is the best way of understanding the normal." Perhaps we can say "outliers" rather than "the abnormal".

    Psychopaths have a clarity of vision that pierces society's veils. For example, language is used instrumentally and "truth" is fluid. Using a lens such as theirs, we can see more clearly the assumptions we make in constructing society. There are cascading new interpretations for metaphysics (particularly philosophy of self) and social and moral philosophy.

    And remember: it's always a person standing in front of you. Parnasse is correct: they can't hurt you unless you let them.

    1. Per usual, you make some great points, North. I'm not a psychopath but I know people would say that when I decide to act I'm fearless. And I believe you're right that sociopaths more easily pierce the stylized veils of society, being keenly aware of social image, mannerisms, mores, etc. Detachment has its advantages in strategic and other ways.

      The value of analyzing the implications of psychopathy for the species strikes me a bit more than simply in the abstract, however. After all, harm is harm if the person standing in front of you secrets a knife while your back is turned. Nevertheless, evolution would not have selected them to survive this long if they didn't contribute to the species. So it seems to me. Nature is wiser by billions of years more so than am I or ever will be.

      I think you're right, too, regarding Dutton's lost opportunity. It somehow feels a bit cheesy, pandering to lawyers on Wall St.

    2. Fearless? I invite you to elaborate, I'm interested to hear more about you.

      Yes, we can certainly learn from the modus operandi of sociopaths. Dutton has some points in this regard, I grant.

      The sociopathic element of the species presents a contrast to the rest of us. Because of their difference, we can see how conscience operates, for example, from *outside* our own 'system'. Sure, we could always see that conscience helps us remain contributing members of society. But with the sociopath, we observe different mechanisms serving a similar function, for example, their sensitivity to blame, and their use of shortcuts (M.E. has written about these in various places I think, but here is a good example: http://www.sociopathworld.com/2010/03/sociopath-code.html) So what does this imply?

      You mention evolution and you put it very nicely. It's only the next step to see that our ethical systems emerge from collaborative survival drives. As Jake of Adventure Time puts it: we're all wild animals, brother.

      You might enjoy reading this: Casanova & the Alpha "in evolution, surviving descendants are the only currency that matters." http://bit.ly/1Wb9ncg

      This is only one thread. There are so many cascades.

      You wrote: "After all, harm is harm if the person standing in front of you secrets a knife while your back is turned."

      Funny you should say that. It was only a month or so ago a colleague came at me from behind, knife aimed at my chest. His father (at least) is sociopathic (by his report). I thought about death then, what it would feel like.

      You are right about the person before you. And part of my insistence on less superficial conversation is that we ought to be aware. More aware of ourselves and what we need ("At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want." ~ Lao Tzu). More aware of our context and this includes the construction of society so we can see that laws and rules are the social contract and not the plotted road for our lives.

      There is so much to write on these topics. Personally, I was reflecting today that my sociopathic ex gave me the greatest gift of showing me what my own organism, my own neural network, was capable of. He gave me the energy to bust out of my own prison, even though I broke every bone in my body doing it. I learnt so much. "The wound is the place where light enters you." ~ Rumi. I've expanded endlessly... and those mistakes can't repeat.

    3. I wonder how much conscience really does play a role in society. Other mechanisms may be at work besides fear of guilt, the feeling that I shouldn't do something because it's wrong or will pay consequences. From what I've read and seen, the majority of people will do what they can get away with and it doesn't seem to bother them much.

      On being fearless: I should know better than to stick my nose into a street fight and I certainly don't feel guilt for letting people slug it out -- I might even root for one of them. It all depends on the circumstances. If I see a bully, however, I don't think at all, I attack. Many a manly monster has looked at me in shock because I'm not a big person. Quite the opposite. Why do I risk getting hammered by someone twice my size? Two reasons come to mind: one, I hate bullies and get enraged, two, I really despise seeing the weak get hurt. And lurking under that, at the bottom of my heart, is the feeling that I really don't care if die doing what I think is important in the moment. If I had the guts and thought it would make a difference, like stop a war, I'd be a self-immolating Buddhist monk.

      Why I feel this way, you might reasonably ask. I have no idea, other than I'm a very passionate person possessed by an alien drive to make the world better for all species, which most people find somewhat crazy. The world according to Dr. Jekyll needs a lot of TLC and when that fails, well, Hyde appears to stand between the bully and his/her victim. Not too smart but like I said, I really don't care much about going out in a hail of bullets. I've lived a very rich life.

      If wounds are the places where light enters, then I believe there's millions of people riddled with light.

    4. George Lincoln Rockwell said that unless you find something worth dying for you won't really live. You'll just putt-putt along. His thing was trying to save white people from their pathological altruism and trust (of non-whites, communists, gays, insert-pc-beloved-group-here). a bit like Meir Kahane, he died reviled by the people he was trying to help. lots of fearless dominance though.

      Delete
    5. Rockwell espouses a basic biological imperative: The will to sacrifice oneself for one's offspring.' Which, in my case, includes everything. All matter matters. All life has spawned me. Life is incestuous on a certain level. Not to say I approve of human incest or bestiality. Definitely not.

      Pathological altruism exists. I know it well. Sociopaths have cured me of that for the most part, I think. Hope. Am I grateful? Not quite. Trust isn't lightly given. But I do admire their capacity to detach from emotions, which is essential. We can't know ourselves without stepping outside of own skins.

      Re: Meir Kahane: This is interesting.

      I think dominance is best served when combined with sacrifice. Course, I would say that. I don't always think rationally. ;))

      Rational self-sacrifice is the essence of a self-immolating Buddhist. So I choose to think. You're right, though. If sacrifice is unhinged from rationalism, it's useless. Pointless. Christ, Buddha and other mystics have amply demonstrated that through deliberate acts that changed the world. Human consciousness.

    8. Mr. Hyde,

      It sounds as though you are discussing pure self-sacrifice. What the modern interpretation or metaphorical arrangement, so to speak, of this seems to entail is its direct connection both to the antique pagan polis and to the contemporary secular state. In order to grasp its true meaning, we need to understand the original link or connection.

      Keeping that in mind, the link would suggest that saying “he/she is very self-sacrificial” could mean that “one is offering his/her body to Aztec anchorites,” making the hero himself/herself a fit recipient of sacrifices in return. Would you construe this as rational or irrational?

      Delete
    9. It's rational if that's what you believe, if that construct works for you, imbues your life and death with meaning.

      I don't sacrifice in that sense. I simply act.

      Mr. Hyde

      Delete
    10. You simply act? "That" would permeate and fill one's life and death with meaning, especially when you act or do something extraordinary a year or even two years ago, and people still want to talk about it.

      Delete
    11. I don't think in the act, I respond instinctively. No future or past exists in that moment. Only the present urge to respond.

      Course people talk. Mouths exist to chatter. Doesn't mean I have to listen. Earthly delights are mine and yours to define. Including how, when, where and to whom we sacrifice. I choose to do it spontaneously knowing how dim-witted an adventure that is. ))

      Perhaps I gave you the wrong impression. I'm not sacrificial in the way of Buddha or Jesus, though I admire and want to emulate it. Something else is at work in me. Not sure what.

      Mr. Hyde

      Delete
    12. I'm referring to encounters with strangers, btw. Spontaneous interactions.

      I try to act like Jesus with family and friends, much as possible. Jekyll is agnostic, Hyde neo-pantheist. I've got serious issues with money-changers hawking their toxic wares on the steps of life's temple.

      Mr. Hyde

      Delete
    13. Yes, instinctively. I can relate to that, including choosing to do it spontaneously. Such sacrifice is the most authentic and singular, I believe. You call it a “dim-witted adventure,” but it is instinctive, and that is what matters when it comes to a true sacrifice.

      “Something else is at work in me. Not sure what.”

      I thought so, Mr. Hyde. I suppose that a person is not truly one, but truly two.

      Since you’ve mentioned your duality, how often do you switch internally between Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? While thinking of the known case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, coupled with its well-known and complex implications, is your own transition between these two states fluid and spontaneous, or would you say otherwise?

      Delete
    14. Fluid and spontaneous. Which isn't ideal, but what I got to work with. I can't predict what will prompt Hyde to appear.

      Mr. Hyde

      Delete
    15. I can understand your point about it not being ideal, and working with what you have. I do the same.

      As to further discussing the duality, I have a necklace of the Roman God Janus. My father gave it to me at a very young age. He wanted it to show me that people have two sides, namely a good side and a bad/dark side, as well as a memorable past and a future. He also said that we must embrace both sides in ourselves or in another person like us. I find that to be instinctual in me.

    16. Interesting conversation that I am rather late in returning to.

      @Mr Hyde:
      "I wonder how much conscience really does play a role in society. Other mechanisms may be at work besides fear of guilt, the feeling that I shouldn't do something because it's wrong or will pay consequences. From what I've read and seen, the majority of people will do what they can get away with and it doesn't seem to bother them much."

      I pondered this for a while. I don't often feel guilt (at least, not any more). But I once did and it was because I had been taught to surrender my will to a set of rules. You will find many such people, rule-bound and hamstrung. And I believe you are correct about the remainder - they will do what they can get away with.

      There is, however, a seeming catch inside me. Beyond genuine competition, I don't want to hurt other people, or take their liberty. (I have, of course, done selfish things and one genuinely callous thing - but I don't regret them, I don't regret them. I was breaking free.)

      @Parnasse I wonder if we are infinite impulses - of various shades - integrated by consciousness, rather than just two. Do you (or Mr Hyde) regret spontaneity? I wonder what the darkness feels like? Is it some expression of life-force? What do you think?

      Delete
    17. North, There's a few instances of being spontaneous I regret. But there are also instances in which I regret not following my instincts, especially in those instances when my interference could have saved a life.

      I think darkness resides inside every living thing, and that it feels different to most everyone.

      Here's my theory on why life is both light and dark:

      In the beginning, there was a Singular Intent to Know Itself.
      Because the Singular Intent was a single being that knew everything there was to know about itself in that particular singular state, It decided to sacrifice itself, by exploding itself into infinite bits that made the universe (this self-willed sacrifice of the Singular Intent is why so many human religions contain myths of sacrifice). The great IT thus diversified its life-force so that it could gather more info about itself, as seen through the eyes of myriad life forms. When time runs its course, IT will gather the lived experiences of all life forms back into its bosom.

      Kooky theory no doubt. But I choose to believe it because it makes me feel good. And, it fosters tolerance and mercy, which I need to survive.

      Real darkness only swallows me on those days when I forget the above viewpoint, because then I descend into a mindset of 'Us versus Them,' and feel disconnected. I thrive on being part of the whole universe, and that includes the black holes inside human hearts. I've never met a person who hasn't suffered. Even monsters feel pain. Sometimes they even cry.

  5. I like the "soft" M.E. She can go right along doing the things she's doing.
    I suspect that she is being guided by her "agressive therapsts."
    It's O.K. by me.
    When I was young, I would keep off the streets and avoid social interaction.
    I lived purely through my imagination, and watched old films from the 1930's
    through the 1960's. These old classic films had characters just like the
    "beneficial" sociopaths that M.E. writes about. There was a place for them in
    society, because it was primative. There's nothing to compell sociopaths to be
    "useful" now. In the olden days sociopaths were explorers, mercinaries, and
    hired guns. Now they have no challenges. Today's sociopaths are like the thugs
    we see on some sites who just beat people up to post it on the internet.

    white females everywhere. I picture you as one of those.
    I have nothing to offer you, or anyone else. And there's a high likelyhood that I
    will be dead on Janurary 1, 2016, a scant 100 days from now.
    Imagine that. Knowing that you have 100 days left. Authum to New Years if
    even that long. You are a harsh woman but a strong one. That's going to be
    necessasary in the coming days. The emmagrent swarm, coupled with racial
    resentments, are going to make life difficult for the weak. Massacures and
    bombs are going to go off in unusual places. The quality of life will be nil.
    It WON'T be like the lovely romantic films of the 30's and 40's. I'm glad to be
    leaving this graveyard.
    P.S. : Please Google "You're The Only Woman, That I Really Love," by Ambrosa, and "The Year Of The Cat," "Time Passages," and "Your On My Mind," by Al Stewart. They are my love songs for you.

  14. There are no underpinnings to me. A Psychopath can bluff his/her way
    through life to compensate for lack of experience. Sex appeal also helps.
    The "creep factor" is ever present with me because I have Moon in 11th house
    square Venus in the 8th house of DEATH. Venus is what you LOVE. I love
    tough, murderous Sociopathic, masculine women to compensate for my
    efeminancey.
    Venus in Pisces is a sacrafical placement. A person with this placement would
    let themselves be abused by their loved one. Venus in Aries (Like Casey
    Anthony) can't get enough sex. It is a "male" like placement.
    Venus in 8 is attracted to death and would probably rob a grave, IF the body
    were "fresh" enough. My Venus is square Saturn in the 5th house. Astrologers
    know that Saturn in the 5th can be a very misreable placement because the 5th
    house is the house of pleasure. It includes sex, gambling, creativity, and
    children. Sex is a vulnarable "gamble" (You conceal nothing) that may result in
    the "creation" of children. It all ties together. Casey Anthony has 3 planets in
    her 5th house. Mars, Uranus, and Neptune. You should really read up on this
    stuff. It shows why she couldn't get enough. I can't get any. And she can't get
    enough.
    To make matters worse, I have Pluto in the first house (How people percieve
    you. They can't help it, )opposite Mars in the 7th house. My mere entrence into
    a crowded room can affect other's in a negative way. The 7th house is the house
    of marriage. Bad placement for Mars. You bring out the worst in others.
    Casey has Juipter in her 7th house. That's why she always wins in court, and
    will benefit from marriage.
    I have Chiorian in the 7th house. I'm going to marry the water that they dump my
    ashes in.

  15. I am an empath interested in learning about the mind of a sociopath. I am considering writing a book, but want to get more information about how your sociopathic mind works. I am interested in stories of manipulations and detailed accounts of thought processes.

    I am also interested in becoming more sociopathic/manipulative and seeing if I can attain the sociopathic social genius you possess.

    Sociopaths, Please email me at agnimaharesh@yahoo.com if you're interested

    It could be bluffing, or the psychopath was just born “on-the-cusp.” You see, this is where it becomes fiddly, even for experienced astrologers.

    “I love tough, murderous Sociopathic, masculine women to compensate for my

    Well, Psychopathic Anonymous, don’t be so distraught about your circumstances and astrological positioning. You are not alone in this seemingly otherworldly “spot” of your chart. As these clips demonstrate, your described positioning, or universal occurrence of it, has already clocked in the cards of the cosmos’ grand creation. It’s out there, it has been done, and as they say, “It could happen to you, too.”

    And before I forget to include it, there is also this example of such occurrence in this wide universe (although distinct in its own right):

  17. What headline writer worth their weight in bold would dream of vilifying autistic individuals or victims of depression or PTSD in the same way that they pillory “psychos”? Last year in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, I and my co-authors presented the first published evidence that psychopathic traits – especially those linked to the personality dimension “fearless dominance” – are positively associated with holding leadership and management positions as well as high-risk occupations, such as police work and firefighting.

    I really like this statement. It resonates with me as someone who holds a high (executive level) position of leadership.

    The fact is that I am willing to sacrifice much more than the average person to achieve the goals I set for my organization. I have the stamina to go the extra mile. I will stay up all night for weeks on end to overcome challenges and achieve success. Not one other person I work with could cope with what I do. It would overwhelm the lot of them. I'd like to see an emotionally unstable basket case attempt to do what I do. I really appreciate what Dutton is saying, here.

    Psychopaths are very good at this. We will work hard to preserve the "power" and influence we gain in various spheres, because that is what motivates us. I *want* the extra burden that comes with added responsibility, because this personal and rational sacrifice is the price I have to pay to maintain the balance of power- and that suits me fine. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. I am built to lead others, and nothing brings me greater fulfillment.

    But my work is on behalf of the people I *serve* within my organization.

    Here is a secret the world doesn't always acknowledge: The best leaders are the best servants. Most of us are not dictators who delegate all the hard work to various secretaries and lackeys. That is a myth. We work our asses off. But good leaders also know how to set boundaries, and respect themselves enough to not allow others to run them roughshod.

    Nothing brings me greater pleasure than watching people flourish under my leadership and guidance. But at the same time, nothing will guilt me into violating my own boundaries. I will not allow others to take advantage of me, because I can read their intentions- and I genuinely don't care whether or not people *like* me.

    I just want their respect. That is my "love" language.

      Yes, this is good leadership and it requires courage.

      Have you seen Simon Sinek's "Why Leaders Eat Last" (https://youtu.be/ReRcHdeUG9Y)? He talks about the cost of being the alpha as self-interest: the group expects the leader to be 'first unto the breach', to protect them.

      I'd be very interested in your thoughts.

      I consider myself a developing leader in my line of work. I'm not driven to power, but do insist on delivery and will take personal risks to ensure it. And through that risk-taking, I've learnt that I am well-respected.

      "But good leaders also know how to set boundaries, and respect themselves enough to not allow others to run them roughshod."
      Yes, I agree with this statement too. And the reason this works is that it creates an environment in which people know what's expected.

      "I just want their respect. That is my "love" language."
      That sounds very INTJ to me. I like it.

    2. Hello everyone out here, am here to tell the world how a spell caster brought my husband back Home, i never thought that spell casters are real, until my husband left me. My name is Serena Williams, i work and live in UK, i got married to my husband 12 years ago, we have 3 kid together, we never have any misunderstanding all this years we lived happily,but all of a sudden he changed and started treating my kids and i very bad, later he stooped coming home, he dose not come home at least month, this really bothered me.

      I was browsing through the net one day when a came across on how Lord Micheal saved a woman called Mandy Diana marriage, i aid let me give him a try on this, i never believed in spell casting before i thought that they were all scam, when i contacted him, he told me not to worry that he will help me, surprisingly he told me that my husband will come back to me in the next 24 hours, with a heart full o doubt, it was a shock that my husband came back to me and started begging that he is sorry, and now we are happy once again. Thank you LORD MICHEAL, and if you are going through this kind of problem, here is his email LORDMICHEALSPELLCAST@GMAIL.COM.He can help you solve your problem.Thank you LORD MICHEAL for restoring my marriage.

  22. Hello to every one out here, am here to share the unexpected miracle that happened to me three days ago, My name is Gabriel Austin,i live in Texas,USA.and I`m happily married to a lovely and caring wife,with two kids A very big problem occurred in my family seven months ago,between me and my wife so terrible that she took the case to court for a divorce she said that she never wanted to stay with me again,and that she did not love me anymore So she packed out of my house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get her back,after much begging,but all to no avail and she confirmed it that she has made her decision,and she never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my wife So i explained every thing to her,so she told me that the only way i can get my wife back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for her too So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow her advice. Then she gave me the email address of the spell caster whom she visited.(drocusodospellcaster@gmail.com OR drocusodospellcaster@yahoo.com }, So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address she gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my wife back the next day what an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me,and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my wife who did not call me for the past seven {7}months,gave me a call to inform me that she was coming back So Amazing!! So that was how she came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and she apologized for her mistake,and for the pain she caused me and my children. Then from that day,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster . So, was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster .if you are in any condition,or you have any problem related to “bringing your ex back. So thanks to Dr OCUSODO for bringing back my wife,and brought great joy to my family once again.{drocusodospellcaster@gmail.com OR drocusodospellcaster@yahoo.com OR this contact number +2348105578036 } , Thanks.

  23. Don't get wasted I am here to talk about my past experiences with spell casters..i had problems with my relationship and i did all to make sure that my woman never break up with me..all in the midst of this, i lost concentration at work and things went really bad for me as i lost my job too..the little money i saved was what i tried to get my wife back with even if i will loose all..i was too desperate and i was taken advantage of as i lost the same money on two different casters from Nigeria. of course i trusted them too much and never knew they did nothing for me so my woman went ahead with breaking up with me..i confronted them that they failed their promise and ever since then, i have never heard a world again from them..That was how fake casters ended my relationship with my woman and i planned i was going to stop everyone like them..i met with another that promised me to get her back to me and i almost laughed and said it was another lie, but he wasn't as he did cast a love spell on her and now we are talking of why we did break up and coming back together in just two days and not months like the other did made me wait..you see why you have to open you eyes and think before the liars here plays with your heart and trust like a toy.{GREATOGUDUGU@GMAIL.COM}tel.+2348057266712..he can also help you to solve any problem…Lol I am very happy now.Claudy

First of all i want to thank mareen for the post she made on how Dr Unity helped her in bringing back her lover. At first when i saw the posting i was so happy and in the other hand so scared,That this might not be real, Then i decided to give it a try in which i contacted Dr Unity and told him how my lover left me for another lady for the past 3years and i have been lonely and depressed without him,So i asked him if he has helped anyone called mareen and he said yes, that was the lady he helped in bringing back her lover. I said good and i told him that if he can help me in bringing back my own lover,He laughed and said once i have contacted him that my problem will be solved.He said that my lover will be back to me within 48hours, Truly when the 48hours was completed i got a text from someone saying am sorry, then i decided to call the number i saw it was my lover Steve voice.i was so happy he was begging me and crying on phone, That he is ready to do anything that will make me happy in life,So i told him to come over which he did,As he was coming he came with a brand new Car as gift. i am so happy today with the help of Dr Unity. He has proven to me that he is not going to leave me for another lady again and stay with me forever, Am so happy today and am also thanking mareen for posting this early.Dr Unity you are truly a man of your word.
