This is very interesting and possibly true, but I don't necessarily agree that psychopathy is the keystone. It might be, but something else might be.
That wasn't what I wanted to talk about anyhow.
What is the psychogenesis of psychopathy?
Do psychopathic traits in humans lie on a bell curve?
(Most human traits lie on a bell curve and the majority of individuals lie somewhere in the middle, with the extreme tails at either end representing a small fraction of the total).
If psychopathic traits are on a bell curve then is it even possible to eliminate them? Just by imprisoning or trying/executing these individuals who have committed and will continue committing horrendous crimes, does that eliminate such traits from society?
If psychopathy is on a bell curve, then I'm afraid it does not. More individuals will be born and some fraction of them will be psychopaths.
Is this true?
It gets down to morality and ethics and what we believe about God.
Discuss.
