But what use would that information be? I don't care one iota if my president is a sociopath as long as he or she implements the agenda I want them to.

- PavlovsCat 10y agoAnd since you have zilch recourse if they don't, making predictions based on their past behaviour and personality is your only bet. Also, marketing budgets in the millions of all sorts of people and corporations engineered to make them seem less banshee-like speak another language -- you may not care, but most people still have the hair on the back of their back stand up when faced with the alien, barren inner landscape of a sociopath. Faking it is, uhm, kind of important to everything they do and are. Without it, they have a meltdown, at best only destroying themselves. If we're talking about the real deal and not just someone who is sometimes a bit of a jerk, that is. If people mind stuff like baby killers, Stalin and other things, they do mind sociopaths, whether they know what the word implies or not.
