Entropy – Psychopaths and Possession
The psychopathic condition – most notably the lack of affective empathy it brings – is a strange one to live with. There can be intense feelings of possession of another, but these feelings must not be misunderstood for what the majority of neurotypicals consider to be ‘love.’ One can have a possession and care greatly […]

Lethal Dose: Refusing to Leave Cluster B Interpersonal Relationships
A Borderline resorts to emotional manipulation. The narcissist steals the light from his acquaintances. The antisocial deliberately harms. At what point do you pack your bags and leave? The victims of Cluster B disorders have the ultimate say in any interpersonal relationship they share with the damned. The Borderline pushes and pulls and puts up […]

Stark Raving Sane
There is a common misconception that psychopaths are “crazy” or otherwise delusional. This often leads to people confusing the condition with psychosis, for instance. The psychopath is perfectly sane. She is aware of her effect on others, but she does not care. The only delusion is that of extreme narcissism – often times without […]

The Space Between Fiction and Truth
While very few confirmed psychopaths are prototypical – that is, earning a perfect score on the primary instrument of assessing psychopathy, the Psychopathy Checklist – Revised – it would be foolish to believe that any psychopath is not prototypical in certain aspects. My impulsivity, for instance, is legendary and pervasive to the point to where I […]

Terminal … Can Those with ASPD Recover?
Does anyone actually “recover” from Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) or psychopathy? Yes and no. We must remember that by the very definition of the disorder that those with ASPD display a persistent and pervasive disregard for the rights of others. This gets at a mindset that is exceptionally selfish and callous, and we must keep […]

A Tale of Two Masks – Why Not Use a Pseudonym?
It’s been a while since I’ve plugged my book, A Tale of Two Masks. I originally wrote the book back in late 2013, but didn’t make it available to retailers until late 2015. The reviews have been great. I bring this up because many ask me why I was so brave (or foolish) to not write […]

Cockblockotron 2000: The Nature of Subjective Morality
I am unconcerned with whether morality is subjective or objective. Ultimately, the only morality that matters is my own and it is fluid insofar as it serves me. However, those that claim to be above the psychopath’s self-serving ways are often rendered crippled by the very question of morality. In today’s foolishly multiculturalist world, in […]

Powder Keg
I don’t think that most people understand what is meant by psychopathic irritability. When most think of the term, they conjure images of a rough day in which they just want to be left alone lest they lash out. Imagine this, but on steroids. My state is one of perpetual irritability. There is no rhyme […]

Is ‘Psychopath’ an Inherently Ableist Slur?
Is ‘psychopathy’ inherently an ableist slur? No. The works of Robert Hare and Kent Kiehl, among others, have shown repeatedly that the neurology of those classified as psychopaths is different than those that merely have Antisocial Personality Disorder. The areas of the brain controlling affective empathy, impulse control, and emotional memory are different in these […]

We’re in Love with Malicious Intent
People want to believe that malice only lives in the heart of the antisocial. The truth is, that whenever two groups exist, malice will find a way into the minds of all. Whether it is heterosexual versus homosexual, transgender against cisgender, or Christian versus Muslim, arbitrary divides will cause hatred to swell within the hearts […]
