An Ode to Chaos – Psychopaths and Unmotivated Antisocial Behavior (Part 2)
I’ve written before about what Cleckley referred to as “unmotivated antisocial behavior.” In that post, I spoke of the “demons” that psychopaths battle and the antisocial proclivities that can often bubble up to the surface. A recent comment by one of our regulars had me thinking a bit more on this subject, however. For me, […]

Psychopaths and Lying (Part 3)
Psychopaths are pathological liars. We lie to the people we meet and we lie to ourselves. I would surmise that a differentiator between the successful psychopath and the unsuccessful psychopath is not only the magnitude of the lie but the frequency of the lies as well. Some psychopaths come up with incredible lies worthy of […]

Selective Tears
One of my biggest complaints with neurotypicals is the reactionary and selective nature of their empathy. Oftentimes their empathy only appears when someone close to them is in the crosshairs of tragedy. We see this day in and day out. Those that know someone who is homosexual or bisexual tend to support same sex rights […]

Forums Revisited
Most of you read the front page and don’t take advantage of all the other resources this site has to offer. I would like to extend a reminder that in addition to the chat room that the forums exist and have a lot of good information for those interested in ASPD and psychopathy. I encourage […]

Kill the Sacred Cows – Psychopathy and Discourse
I’ve seen a lot of individuals that claim to be champions of discourse. They are willing to challenge the status quo on many issues. They are willing to listen to unconventional arguments on many subjects. However, there is an almost universal problem: these same people hold sacred one or more tenets of thought or hold one […]

Falling Into Place
This post is different than most in that it is very personal in nature. I’ve been thinking a lot about the nature of goals and my life. In less than a month, I will be thirty years old. I’m not convinced that I want to stay on my current track in terms of a career […]

Subtle Psychopathic Behavior – The Fragile Web
The psychopath must be subtle with her psychopathic behavior lest those around her eventually cut through her facade. The unrestrained and uncontrolled psychopath that burns through everything will eventually find desolation or incarceration. Just as the kleptomaniac eventually gets punished for the nature of his ways, the psychopath that creates the most intricate, but fragile, of webs […]

Are Psychopaths Psychotic?
I have seen countless occurrences on social media where people conflate psychopathy with psychotic symptoms. I’m amused when arguments break out referring to whether ‘psycho’ is a slur, and if so, can it be reclaimed by psychopaths or psychotic individuals or neither. Let me state unequivocally that psychopathy and psychotic symptoms are not the same. […]

Video: Breaking all Barriers
I’ve given interviews to the media, presentations to lay people, and have written hundreds of posts. A distinction that I hold dear between myself and my competitors is that I am unwilling to hide behind a pseudonym. At first, I was afraid to write with my real name listed as the author as I believed, […]

Are Psychopaths and Sociopaths the Same?
“Are psychopaths and sociopaths the same thing?” is a question that I receive a lot. The word ‘sociopath’ has had a bit of a Renaissance as of late thanks to books mentioning the term in their titles and due to pop culture references such as with the BBC show, Sherlock. It’s unfortunate, because the current […]
