What is psychopathy and what are we doing about it? | Dan Komar | TEDxJuniataCollege

[@decentkiller1236]

This has a lot of good points, I have aspd (more specifically psychopathic tendencies) and I actively seek those types of situations where I’m forced to be empathetic. I do it do I don’t scare people around me to the point where they actively avoid me. It does help but I had no idea that it bc was an actual thing that was studied

[@doctor_uno]

@@tc9256 normal people do it too. Just that we do it doesn't change anything, we're not alien. The mimic of others is to present ourselves as normal to kind of "mask" the disorder because normal people will always fear what they don't understand, whatever doesn't fit with the group.

@Aidan Eaglesfield the only people you can trust are those that fear you

[@afireinhearts1302]

LOVE this topic~ so exciting & important...awesome work!!

As a psychopath, personally, I don’t care about your study

[@janguvpes7518]

Interesting talk, and I hope the research goes as planned. Can we talk about that shirt though?

[@ProjektLament]

This research will likely lead nowhere. Psychopaths do not experience a great deal of fear. And to jump from fear to caring for another is a large leap that I don't think would manifest. Then you have to consider that psychopaths participating will most likely lie and give false feedback that will pollute the process of the study

@Rakscha interesting comment, quite "awake"

[@decentkiller1236]

You are very right, but here’s the point where you are wrong. You can develop psychopathy within your lifespan. You don’t have to be born with it. It is typically developed after a very traumatic experience, due to brain damage, or it’s due to extreme isolation just to name a few. Those are people who typically do not lie about these types of things and will often seek out ways to grasp onto their past selves, but the degrees in this may vary, like myself of which I have been working on regaining what I have once lost for the past 12 years. Most psychopaths will not go through this due to the fact that I can literally take a lifetime just to feel human. Just shedding a little bit of knowledge onto you, if you see this anyway.

[@doctor_uno]

@@sanghitadey8475 sociopaths are made from extreme abuse which causes them to become erratic, hateful, and impulsive. A psychopath is born but it depends on nurturing too, everything takes a role. And I say also from my experience as well as that guy's experience, he's got ASPD too.

patrick bateman is not a psychopath, he is a psychotic wanna be. the business card scene really shows that he isn't one

[@11derekknotek]

This is a minor point, but it's not the incarceration rate that needs to stop; it's the damage done by psychopaths. If you don't fix the harmful behavior, then the incarceration rate is a positive thing. Those people need to be separated from society because they're dangerous.

[@man_of_lawlessness]

I cannot remember a time of feeling afraid when I was younger. If I'm honest,the younger I go back the more out of control I was and the more I wanted to drag people through rose bushes or smash their heads against walls and metal fences. Now I'm older I cba to goto prison so I don't do it.

[@pugilemoltobene3708]

The psychopath does not consider risk vs reward? This is where high-functioning psychopaths and the impulsive, more classic, garden variety differ. Also, you only discuss the amygdaloid and not the prefrontal cortex and executive decision-making process. Ughhh!!!! You need the perspective of a researcher who has worked in this field! No, this study will be a failure, but will be successful in the propagation of future research in the area; follow-on studies and reworkings of the initial study...

“And?” I replied to Mallika Simone.

[@CourageToLiveTrue]

About half more likely for women to have symptomology than men

[@jordonlongley6576]

Saying there are less female psychopaths than male is a psychopathic attempt at gaslighting at worst. Naivety at best.

Would be relevent but in my opinion is one factor among others. Besides, the prevalence is about 1,6% to 3% in men but also around 0,8% in women. Women who are psychopath are not socialised as men but they do exist...

@@Antoine2208 dude men in every country commit more violent crime. Every culture. Thats biological obviously, so obviously more psychopaths are male. Nothing to do with socializing or whatever nonsense you said
