Why should humanity tolerate psychopaths?

>>1470405
Because Rule of Law.
If you are some simpering monarchist or thoughtless fascist I guess you wouldn't understand this and just wish immediate death by the word of the Big Father Figure you never had.

>>1470420

While I understand the importance to leave no room for arbitrary punishment, I believe you can settle laws in ways that put people under the sword who violated a clear treshold set by law.

Does humanity tolerate psychopaths?

>>1470405
>literally what is jail/prison

>>1470420

Psychopaths are parasites. They benefit from all the advantages of human society without ever contributing anything - at best - and are often times a source of great mental and physical pain for those around them. They have more in common with your average solitary wild animal than they do with a human.

If you believe that such a drastic state of affairs - where you have literal inhuman entities walking among us - can be framed in something as provincial as Rule of Law, it raises some very interesting questions about you.

Also the term psychopath is often used by people who are too emotionally driven and don't understand rational self-interest

>>1470455
OK, so you want to get rid of psychopaths. But what constitutes psychopathy? Who determines who is a psychopath? Congratulations, you just gave whoever is in charge carte-blanche to kill any political prisoner they don't like by labeling them with "sluggish skitzophrenia" or whatever label they want.

>>1470457

Morality works like heard immunity. "Rational self-interest" only helps the psychopath if he is part of a largely moral and conscientious society that forbids grassroots punishment.

If we take this to its logical conclusion, then the most unacceptable people and most liable to the label of 'psychopathy' are creative artists of all kinds and successful businessmen.

Anyone classified by the state to be as an undesirable (a.k.a. "Designated Villian), especially those who control assets that can be confiscated.

>>1470499
This. Psychopaths care about themselves; ideology is mainly a tool for them in a Machiavellian power game. Despite Walter Langer's outdated yet popular assertion to the contrary, clinicians generally agree that Hitler didn't exhibit sufficient psychopathic traits.

The best way to manage psychopaths, apparently, is to reward them for prosocial behavior; they don't respond to punishment the way most people do, as they just try to figure out how to still get what they want while avoiding punishment.

>>1470470
>>1470515

Brain scans are a red herring, I think. It helps to see them as people completely overrun by their egos. Everyone more of less knows what this means and what this looks like, even in the US. It sounds convenient but the only ones who don't or would claim that they don't are probably psychopaths or in the process of succumbing to terminal egotism.

And I didn't imply we should kill them. Maybe put them in an enclosure somewhere?

Why does OP seem like an edgy teenager who thinks psychopaths are common or intelligent?

What would isolating them from society cost us?

This can only end well:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sluggish_schizophrenia

It's literally your proposal put in practice.

>>1470405
Because they are the ones in charge of society. Most politicians are psychopaths.

>>1470607
A lot, because you'd have to spend considerable resources to detect them and then spend even more isolating them in prisons, etc. High-functioning psychopaths would just become jailhouse kingpins and might destabilize prisons and affect the corrections process of the non-psychopathic population.

>>1470552
I think using four factor model helps here. The factors being Interpersonal, Affective, Lifestyle, and overt Antisocial.
Studies have found positive correlations between IQ and the interpersonal and affective factors and negative correlations between IQ and the lifestyle and antisocial factors. But I believe those who had none of the factors were more likely to be intelligent the first group. The issue with these studies though is they usually look at criminal population which I'd argue is already selected for low intelligence.
I wouldn't be surprised if people who primarily exhibit the first two factors have basically a normal intelligence distribution.

>>1470609

Psychopathy is basically recognized worldwide. Symptoms are plentiful and observable. The rejection of society would make you a "dissident" anywhere, from a Paleolithic cave to the ISS.

>>1470627

>the corrections process

I'm talking total isolation for life. A large enclosure the size of a small country with a wall around it. No contact with humans. Allow them to live and die by they own principles.

>>1470644
I'm sure you think you're being reasonable, even talking common sense, but I assure you that you're not any better than your Soviet predecessors.

>>1470644
So it all comes down to what policy you are advocating that those with power should do to those who they identify as "psychopaths".

>>1470635
>But I believe those who had none of the factors were more likely to be intelligent the first group. The issue with these studies though is they usually look at criminal population which I'd argue is already selected for low intelligence.

This is a major issue with the study of psychopaths. Most people aren't going to go to a therapist and take the PCL-R to find out whether they're a psychopath or not, it is most often only administered in prisons by very specially trained psychiatrists.

And for the non-prison population that does take the test, what will be their reaction if the results indicate psychopathy? Most would probably just deny it and refuse further study or treatment, others might embrace it because they found out "who they really are", commit crimes (violent or non-violent), and the diagnosis becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

So a modern-day Alsatia? Or are you thinking a modern-day Devil's Island (an isolated but heavily guarded prison island)? This is an interesting idea, but wouldn't they just form power blocs, eliminate political rivals within this isolated society, and work to break free for further gains in power?

>>1470667

I don't see why political views or property would matter. Most psychopaths are apolitical middle class.

>>1470668

I believe in grassroots justice, actually. A community has insight into people and context for their behavior that no institution can hope for. At least when it comes to violent specimens, they should be allowed to oust them and at least partially prosecute them.

>>1470685

Yeah a Devil's Island, inverted fortress, guarded by a small army, the whole nine yards. There wouldn't be that many of them, no one would survive long enough, and psychopaths aren't known to work together.

Wouldn't that cost a ton of resources to maintain watch there all the time? While you're correct that many psychopaths aren't known for cooperating, more high-functioning ones would likely recognize that it is on their mutual self-interest to band together, use the less high-functioning ones as tools by promising them rewards, and inevitably forge some type of escape plan.

You could counter this by designing plans to thwart such alliances, but people who think like that would probably be psychopathic themselves, so you'd have to somehow reward them to make it worth their time, in which case you still have psychopaths in normal society.

That's fine, but your initial idea of isolating them so that they could run their own version of society had occurred in various criminal havens beyond the rule of law, and is inevitably replaced by incorporating that territory into the rule of law and placing criminals, psychopath and non-psychopath alike, in prisons, which are obviously very costly to maintain.

Look at what is happening right now in the US, people are outraged by how many people there are in prison and how much it costs to run; 80s and 90s ideas of the "superpredator" who needs to be removed from society for a long time or forever, three strikes laws, etc., have really fallen out of vogue politically.

In what way is it a contradiction? Generally if you want anything out of society you're still a contributing element to it in some fashion. Even the very lowest of the underclass still has a role in society.

Because everyone actually, can you say you don't belong to any arbitrarily designated collectives that someone wouldn't be willing to oppress you over?

Society is just an idea. If we stopped recognizing it, it would cease to be. The reason it "exists" in the limited capacity it does is because a whole mess of individuals have agreed that it should exist.

Another meaningless noise from one of the billions of little cockroaches that I, The Manipulator, control. If I were to choose so, you would realize that people are nothing more than a game to psychopaths such as myself. You see, that idea you have, of removing psychopaths from society, was strategically implanted in your head as part of one of the many mind games that we play, probably a psychopath trying to eliminate the competiton. Every single idea you have was, since you are nothing but an insignificant, mindless little insect, along with everyone else who isn't a psychopath. The only hope your proposal has for ever coming to fruition is for a psychopath to decide it will, because all decisions are made by psychopaths.

The people would have the first, and most powerful, say. Nothing would happen without their word. I said 10 people as the bare minimum, it's not uncommon for a psychopath to have harmed 100 by the times he's 30.

Normies SAY they have the values of a psychopath. "Never let anything stop your dreams!" "Don't listen to doubters!"

And then they get annoyed because someone can actually follow their advice.

Personally I think the real problem is that normies need to think about the cliche drivel that they say that runs society.

In a liberal justice system, no, not really. In the absence of physical evidence, conviction based on eyewitness or other similar testimony alone is exceedingly rare, and when it does happen, it is often flawed. If you don't have physical evidence, there often won't be a trial a judge will usually dismiss the charges or grant summary judgment to the defense.

They have no scruples treating humans this way due to, inter alia, their inability to feel empathy.
>[T]hese individuals lack the capacity to feel empathy, and thus are not receptive to moral reasons. They fail to consider moral reasons as directly applicable to them, and are consequently not morally motivated. They lack the emotional depth pertaining to an appreciation of moral restraint on behavior. Lacking such capacities it is unfounded to hold them morally responsible.

I think I could be a bit psychopathic.

See, I always thought that everyone else was faking their grand moral posturing to a large extent. And I occasionally see evidence for this.

To be honest, it doesn't seem implausible to me that everyone can override their empathy easily, but "psychopaths" are just people who don't lie about it.

That sounds like most people. Humans are naturally petty, impulsive, and violent. They tend to rationalize their behavior without actually thinking about their motives or the consequences of their actions.

psychopaths do the dirty work the rest of us have trouble doing.

need a general to win a war against invaders? call a cool headed psycho path. have to engage in diplomacy that could make or break your economy. who's more charming than a narcissistic psychopath?

Those are just two examples off the top of my head. Complex societies may well rely on those types of people more than we realize.

the mayoclinic defines psychopathy as a type of Antisocial personality disorder: "also known as dissocial personality disorder (DPD) and sociopathy, is a personality disorder, characterized by a pervasive pattern of disregard for, or violation of, the rights of others. An impoverished moral sense or conscience is often apparent, as well as a history of crime, legal problems, and/or impulsive and aggressive behavior."

>>tl/dr a person who is biologically unable to feel empathy for other humans.

how does your model explain high functioning CEOs and politicians who behave in ways that they know will affect the lives of millions adversely, and yet seem to exhibit no empathy whatsoever?

>>1470552
The most realistic psychopath on TV is Ricky from Trailer Park Boys.

>>1470405
Define psychopath.

Human nature is complicated, we can't just go around locking "suspected" people. Also some tests indicate that over half of the world's population is somewhat psychopathic. Surely we must rely on rule of law and fair courts to settle this.

I was part of the control group in a study of psychopaths and when they looked at my mri, they noticed it looked more like the psychopaths than the other controls.
>>1471757
Yes.

>>1472762
How did you end up in the sort of study?

Would a person seriously suggesting genocide and concentration camps be considered a psycopath?

What do you do about people who are just assholes and harm people without being psychopaths?

Stewardship over them is preferable to killing them for something they have little control over
Also a lot of mental illness can be mitigated with treatment and therapy. That is the current mission of most mental health hospitals. Get them to be functioning members of society

>Emotional manipulation and abuse - "mean words" - are a tell-tale sign of psychopathy

Do you really think mean words are a sign of psychopathy?

Reminder that Psychopathy doesn't exist.
The word is Antisocial Personality Disorder and those people aren't as powerful as you think they are. They live in the moment and usually haven't got the ability to think in the long-term.
Some of them are powerful and successful in life through use of manipulation but that takes a lot of discipline for them.
The real danger antisocial people pose is their capacity for violence, rape and murder.

>Psychopaths are social parasites
Are you really gonna keep pushing this shit? A parasite leeches off an organism, that is not what psychopaths do, unless you have the world views of a 14 year old straight out of his first social studies class.

>>1471182
>Lists a bunch of shit that isn't a sign of psychopathy (necessarily)
>Kek this is infallible! I am gonna genocide people for being assholes and based on hearsay
You don't know anything about anything, you're proposing witch hunts. You're the kind of idiot that would benefit from reading some legal texts and maybe getting out more.

Accusing people of psychopathy is a sign of psychopathy!

Not caring about the consequences your actions have on millions of people you don't know is a very human thing, OP is a retard and I think you're him.

Society is a social construct, we were never meant to live in "communities" as big as this, because it enforces "psychopathic" behaviour our societies should hail psychopaths as the leading figures of a fucked up world

Not all lives are worth the same

But we're not in any way obligated to feel empathy towards anything. This would only help in some society which is grounded into the idea of well being for every member of the same.

>>1470405
>implying society is one guy

If you can exploit society without being caught, then why not? Not moral? lol

Also rejecting a society is completely sane thing to do. Why the hell conform to something you don't like? Or even if you do like it

>>1470635
how does your model explain high functioning CEOs and politicians who don't hesitate to screw over their friends and colleagues, and don't even show a hint of remorse?

It kind of is, you can't just make up words and go "Yeah that's a disorder". If it's not recognised as one in diagnostic journals, it's not one.

in order of appearance: the words of your post that are not meaningless buzzwords

psychopaths can never become true übermensch as they are too impulsive, they go on a cocaine binge and other bullshit before they get too big
