There's a number of movies and TV shows with a psychopath as the star. Often I envy their sheer cunning. Sometimes I wonder what it'd feel like not to hurt.

LOL

I really doubt that psycopaths ever have a good day, despite at how they are glamourized on TV and movies.

The price for that is too steep.

I kinda do envy psychopaths. It must be comforting to be so sure that you're right instead of the self-questioning that occurs regularly in life...

Psychopaths are just nice people that are misunderstood. My best friend is a psycho.
I am not.
Yes you are.
Leave me out of this.
No you shut up. Not you, I was talking to the dog. He says I should kill you.
You'd listen to your dog over your best friend- your coffee mug? I contain your elixer of life. You can't go on without me!
Grrrr.
It's happening again!

I think you're thinking of schizophrenics. I DON'T envy them.

Airencracken

So you mean more of a sociopath?

zenbooty

psychopath and sociopath are almost synonymous technically.

zippyjuan

I don't hate people- you just have to know how to cook them and what sort of wine to serve with them. I prefer a bit of chianti myself.

InfiniteNothing

No, you're thinking of cannibals

All geniuses are sociopaths
-John Columbus

welfareloser

only cunning in the movies. most sociopaths are just as dumb as everyone else.

and since they don't get the whole society thing, they are left out. most are unhappy as they torture cats and strangle prostitutes.

so, no, i don't envy them.

bitch, you ain't no cracker psycho.

Don't make me strangle you stupid Kitty.

gear02

well...this thread has jumped the shark.

InfiniteNothing

Really!? they always come off as master manipulators. I want to be a master manipulator.

zenbooty

Note the quote doesn't say all sociopaths are geniuses. It just said all geniuses are sociopaths .

They get society, because society is a sociological construct that can be analyzed in an impersonal, clinical manner. The sociopath just can't connect with people on an emotional, human-to-human level. The moral connection between oneself and one's fellow human beings just isn't there. Other people are just intelligent animate objects to be used and manipulated for the benefit of the sociopath like a garden tool or pack of gum.

Neither do I. It must be a very vacant, hollow existence.

Kinda creepy... you've just described my view on life.

ItsAllSoHilarious

I remember when i was 11 and my "friend" at the time died of leukemia. We had a service for him at school and all these people were crying and i suddenly realised that i didn`t care, about him or about anyone, not my sister not my parents anyone. There are many people out there who seem to believe in the dumbest things - religion, love and morals - i just DON`T GET IT. They don`t exist, at first i thought it was all a con, that people just bull****ted conveniently to obtain what they wanted in life but some seem to have genuinely been suckered by this form of mind control. There is no hell just as there is no heaven - when you die, you are as dead as the dirt that buries you - so seize whatever you want now. You only have one life so cheat lie and manipulate as much as you like, stop lying about your feelings, your bull**** classically conditioned morals and rules and do what you like. Ultimately, We are all just a bunch of greedy, grabbing monkeys.

zenbooty

There have been places and times where this was the way of life for people. Generally, life was "nasty, brutish and short," as Hobbes once penned. We can do, and are doing, better than that.

Hypnotist

Man, I don't like to be cynical, but... Absolutely... and while you're at it, go ahead and spice things up with a little armed robbery, rape and cold blooded premeditated murder. Sure, test the validity of those "bull**** classically conditioned morals and rules" and ultimately, you'll be on your way to joining a "special" group of greedy, ANKLE grabbing monkeys frequented in the rear by some guy named Leroy at an all inclusive resort called The Dept. of Corrections.




Makes ya think, don't it? If you choose to be "nasty, brutish, and short", that's certainly your choice. But as ZB points out, ask yourself... are you living in the past?
