By the best interpretation of this statement, it is highly confused as to what sociopathy is, and may be harmful in its belief that normal human cognitive biases are signs of mentally ill behavior. It makes total sense that people would have inconsistent metrics applied to themselves vs to others. It's normal human psychology.
- malvosenior 8y agoI believe that the NYT knows they're biased and actively tries to conceal that (with articles such as this one). They also try to manipulate their readership and general discourse. So I'd say it goes beyond just regular, every day human psychology and into sociopathy or whatever the organizational equivalent is.
