I really think this is an unfair stereotype. Being relentlessly resourceful is only a great quality as it relates to a great goal or ambition.
You could have an evil resourceful person who is not a sociopath. You could have a good resourceful person who is a sociopath.
Just because you are a sociopath does not mean you can't pursue a socially responsible goal. Also, the the definition of 'good', 'evil', 'socially responsible', we know are relative terms. In history, some sociopaths have used resourcefulness to re-define these norms for society.
The point I am trying to make is that being relentlessly resourceful, in the most rational sense, often means acting like a sociopath in the sense that you need to disregard social inputs unless they help accomplish your goal.
- klochner 16y agoSociopaths are unconstrained or uninfluenced by how they affect the well being of those around them, unless the effects help achieve their own goals or ambitions. You can certainly find a sociopath that is helpful to society, they just wouldn't care on an emotional level. I would be hard pressed to find an evil person who is relentlessly resourceful and social responsible.
