Ask HN: Psychopaths/Sociopaths
Last time I tried to discuss this topic on HN, my post was flagged. However, I think HN is a great place to discuss it, because I'd wager a significant percentage of commenters here fall into the "sociopath" category, myself included.
So my question is,
1) Are you a sociopath?
2) What do you think of society's labeling and marginalization of so-called sociopaths?
Sometimes I think sociopathic individuals will be the next minority to fight for their rights. It's scary how much anti-sociopath rhetoric is prevalent in media today. Nobody is offended if you say sociopaths should be rounded up and killed. According to society, as long as you can sufficiently label someone a sociopath, it becomes within your rights to deny them freedoms and torture or kill them.
