Oops, sorry I didn't reply to this.

I decided to take a leaf out of EquALLity's book and search for unanswered posts.

I'm not sure how I feel about this article. While I don't like psychopathy (of course, lacking empathy for others is a dangerous thing), the premise also reminds me a bit of a witch hunt, which is also concerning. And psychopaths could potentially be good people if they adopt a strong system of ethics for some reason (I think people can value a thing in itself for the sake of it, as a matter of existential identity).

It's an interesting article though. It certainly worthy of a lot of consideration.

Anybody else read this?
