Based on my experience, psychopaths are far more common than the statistics would indicate. Many of them are good at appearing to fit into society. Most people would not know a person is a psychopath unless his mask slips in front of you. It takes time for psychopaths to reveal themselves, and if you do not know the signs or symptoms, you will never have a clue. They are dangerous, so it is good to be educated about the signs so you can avoid them.

I agree. The statistics are so flawed, but you will never get Robert Hare to admit that. I mean even most spouses don't know... until the psychopath is ready to kill them for the insurance policy. I think one great example is Armie Hammer going on a drug binge and posting videos of himself online just saying and doing deeply disturbing things. He went from "handsome Hollywood darling" to now selling time-shares in the Caribbean. He harmed a number of women who fell for him BEFORE he outed himself quite carelessly, costing him his inheritance, his wife, his child, and his career as the "hottest actor" in Hollywood. Little did Hollywood know, the man has been "acting" since toddlerhood. That is why he so good at lying convincingly (read: acting).

I've thought about this a lot. I'd say the actual statistic for psychopaths and sociopaths is higher, yes. Think about it, when psychopaths/sociopaths were first coined in the dsm 3 or 4 or whatever, the statistic was this: Psychopaths: 1% Sociopaths: 4% BUT this was done in the 80's/90's! Back when the world population was only 5 billion. Now it is 2020's with 8 billion people, and the dsm still says it is STILL that same percentage?? That doesn't add up, at all. What do I think now in 2020's? (based on personal experience and research) psychopaths: 2% (1 in 50) sociopaths: 5% (1 in 20)

You can be completely normal and have a psychopath son or daughter. For a psychopath, it is genetic (sociopath is genetic/made/upbringing/nurture), all that matters is somebody in the mom's family tree long long ago was a psychopath. Means there was a great great great grandpa or a long lost aunt that was a psychopath.

I’m a substitute teacher and have a lot of students at my elementary school who exhibit signs of conduct disorders and several who’d hit the marks for psychopathy if they were adults. Their environments at home and in community are largely troubled. With pretty much all of them having had COVID, I’ve been concerned they had changes to their brains from that as well. In one grade, I estimate 8% show very strong symptoms of conduct disorders, which is abnormally high. The info in this talk has given me some insights into how these kids function. Thanks!

Just because they lie a lot doesn't mean the lies are well crafted. It would still go to impulsivity. Put out the fires later on.

This seems rather black and white when it comes to parenting. The situations I have seen have two-homes; one home has a parent who is distant emotionally and bribes the kid/s to stop tantruming. The other home has parents that are warm, but hold expectations and won't concede to manipulation. Inevitably, the former contributes to the escalation of problem behaviors and overrides what the other home attempts to do. I think a lot of these kids live in a more grey area and that it does a disservice to place the responsibility on the parents who are being consistently undermined by the child and co-parent.

Psychopaths do not know what fear is, what it feels like, if they did, then i'm sure they could develop some empathy/sadness/a conscience. There was a study in Canada, a lady could not feel fear and never ever had, so she volunteered for an experimental trial. (I don't think she was a psychopath though) She felt fear for the first time and burst into tears, said she never wanted to feel such a thing again.

I've wondered that before too. But they have reduced activity within their pain network. In neurotypical people, the brain activates when we experience pain as well as when we see others in pain - it's like an empathy bridge. Psychopaths, however, lack this empathy bridge so their pain network is not activated.

10:02 How to spot a psychopath: 1.) Is the person charming? Does everyone in the room like them? 1.5.) Do they get angry? Call people names? (big sign) 2.) Do they seem to get bored easily? Do they always have to be doing something? Are they always looking for "the next entertainment"? 3.) How often do you catch them in a lie? They are pathological liars. 4.) Do they drink, smoke, or gamble, etc? (addiction) 5.) Are they promiscuous? Do they struggle to stay faithful? Do they have many romantic partners? 6.) Are they impulsive? 7.) Are they irresponsible? 8.) Do people always leave their life and new people enter? Like a revolving door. 9.) Do they have a criminal history? (This can also include no criminal history at all, meaning things they are not caught for yet. Small things like shoplifting as a teen or running a red light and not paying the fine in their 20's. They are good at talking out of trouble) 10.) Do they lack empathy? (I.e. Do they lack care about or for other people?) bonus: do they like horror movies, violent video games, or rap music? (usually they like 1 of 3) My own research: 1.) Do they lack 1 or more PRIMARY emotion? Primary emotions: -happiness -sadness -fear -anger -love -disgust ^ normal people feel ALL 6. I repeat, normal people feel ALL 6. A psychopath or sociopath will be missing 1 or more. They just can't feel it. They don't know what it is and have never felt it, ever. 2.) Do they seem to have a high iq? 130 iq or more 3.) "What is your most embarrassing moment/memory? Tell me it." Most psychopaths will pause because they have to make up a fake story because they don't have one. Regular people meanwhile will cringe at the thought. 4.) What makes you happy? A regular person will say "spending time with family" "my dog" "my spouse" A psychopath will say "drinking/gambling" "food" "s*x" or "money" They also may struggle to answer or match your answer, if you answer first.

Good but there are unsuccessful psychopaths that do not manage to charm very well. They can still kind of do it in small ways though, like making someone feel special talking to them, caring about them or such. They are good at finding something to work you with.

My vote re psychopathy is for pre-natal neurological maldevelopment. For sociopathy, it's horrid parents.

When studying biological phenomena in the context of QM-TIME sync-duration AM-FM time-timing memory, ie probabilistic correlations in Actuality, the concept of a sustained sequence of functional e-Pi-i Reciproction-recirculation reference-framing, of time-timing re-evolution, ie a single "thread" along a "linear-scalar" conglomeration of reproductive development that is "natural technology", from nodal-vibrational emitter-receiver log-antilog interference assemblies in temporal sequences, to "living Organisms", it becomes apparent that the Absolute Zero-infinity probabilistic correlations of resonance bonding proportioning are confined in this Timing-Spacing matrix by free-floating nothing in No-thing except pure-math relative-timing condensation holography. To confirm your thoughts, the real-time realization of living beings operate in cyclical pulse-evolution of biological DNA and RNA histories of sequential chemical memory, all e-Pi-i functional motion components. Our actual childhood has its Origin in QM-TIMESPACE Perspective Principle.., so Psyche and Psychopathic behaviour is apparently a derivative of infinite-eternal Return to the Mean Form of Function, i-reflection QM-TIME Containment. Mathematically speaking.

19:50 Sociopathy= anti social personality disorder or "secondary psychopathy". This is about 4% of a country's population. (Created) They can have some emotions but this is limited and depends on the person. Psychopathy or "primary psychopathy" is 1% of a country's population. (Born) They usually have 1 or 2 emotions and the rest is logical thinking. Most people will tell you after researching psychopathy, "in the end the terminology doesn't matter". Psychopath, sociopath, narcissist, etc. In the end, what you call it doesn't matter, it just IS.

It was actually an evolutionary disadvantage, but it depends on how you see what an advantage is. If you are nihilistic which I assume most psychopaths have a concept of in their view of the world, they will not care of their traits. But if you base off of survival, psychopaths are usually mauled both in the physical or "primitive" state and an artificial society. For example, Psychopaths in the stone age would usually not detect any predators or would simply not care for a predatory response to occur or what was from fear. Because Psychopaths have a removed ability of fear this hinders their ability to live a long life. But I will say, that psychopathic traits can sometimes give you an advantage. Fearlessness in some instances can be good. But it's not so black and white on how you framed it. I believe it comes down to the type of person you are as a psychopath, just like a neurotypical and how they might be.

Early childhood? Yes, and no. Sociopathy or secondary psychopathy is mainly nurture based but can also have some genetic to it. However mainly it is nurture, or well, lack there of. Psychopathy or first psychopathy is completely genetic. It is a part of who the person is. There is no chance of change because it is like someone with a permanent scar. It just IS, permanently.
