So, a configured abstract reward system can make psychopaths look like regular narcissists. And then?
Did they find a cure or become mutual accomplices? They learned that if they maintain without showing emotion long enough that they can earn a form of respect by playing the patient's own game. Not surprisingly, the respect sustains when nourished with rewards. The doctors and patients are now comrads. The patient shows improvement during the state of success, diplomatic accomplishment, overcoming their peers, winning, etc. and while it is nice they can reproduce the system, they are still misunderstanding it.
By their logic, we would elect the patients into office, process their confidence as wellness, and maybe one day they can become so cured they will be president!
Maybe there is some valuable stuff being researched here but this essay doesn't confirm that. There is a comparison opportunity in the two origins discussed that might offer actual insight but I guess that was just a narrative decoration?
