I’ve noticed with curiosity that some people can spot a psychopath pretty quickly whereas some never do.
If more were able, “Who’s Sane” wouldn’t have gotten in.
I believe anyone can be trained to spot a psychopath, even though they are masters of deceit. Sociopathic behavior exhibits a broad range. There are many telltale signs:
Pathological lying
Total lack of remorse, guilt, or conscience
Refusal to accept responsibility
Conning/manipulative
Glibness/superficial charm.
Grandiosity
Need for stimulation/proneness to boredom
Shallow affect
Callous/lack of empathy
Parasitic lifestyle
Poor behavioral controls
Promiscuous sexual behavior
Early behavior problems
Impulsivity
Many short-term relationships
Criminal versatility
Sociopathy is primarily genetic, and there is no treatment. It can be spotted in young children who gleefully inflict pain on others and who laugh off any attempt to shame them for theior cruelty. The only protection against psychopaths is to avoid them at all costs. This is why the idea of “rehabilitation” of career criminals, almost all of whom are psychopaths, is out of the question. Most politicians and many lawyers exhibit psychopathic behavior.
The Clintons are a textbook example of a psychopath with a companion enabler. At Columbine, harris was the psychopath, Klebold was the enabler. Do-gooders are the psychopath’s best friends, because do-gooders are enablers who assist in facilitating mayhem and avoiding consequences.
