“But the psychological characteristics of sociopathy are not good or bad,” I continued. “Like, there’s nothing ‘wrong’ with apathy. You can use that trait to make bad choices or good ones. And the more we can normalize things like that—the more that sociopaths can be educated to understand they’re not ‘wrong’ or ‘bad’—the less stress they’re likely to have about it. Ergo, the less compelled they’ll feel to act out because of it.”
