Socipathy Quotes

“Joel Bakan, author of The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power argues that if corporations have 'person hood' under the law, then it makes sense to question what kind of people they are. He posits that corporations behave with all the classical signs of sociopathy: they are inherently amoral, they elevate their own interests above all others', and they disregard moral and sometimes legal limits on their behavior in pursuit of their own advancement. Organizations of this type would thrive under the leadership of people who have the same traits: sociopaths.”

“How much did you make last year?” he asked me.

“Why?” I responded. He quickly told me that he would pay my yearly salary to settle our personal case.

Without even considering the idea, I said, "That's not fair."

Rather than disagree, he retorted, “Well, what does fairness mean to you?”

I thought about it for a few seconds and said, “You know it when you see it. I can't give you a universal definition, but at the very least, it means that you take into consideration all factors and not just one.”

He surprised me again by inquiring, “tell me all of the factors I should be considering.”

From that moment forward, he would incorporate the concept of fairness into every substantive discussion that we would ever have. Not because he believed in it, but because he knew I did. Once he grasped the notion that my entire way of dealing with an adversary was in terms of fairness, he began to speak my language. Whether he was conveying an offer, a counteroffer, or just a general principle of life, he would couch his position in terms of what was fair or unfair.”
