I wouldn't say that; I would say it shows that she probably has mental health issues that "the Pharma Bro" successfully exploited, but these are very different from being sociopathic. Sociopaths are predators, she was prey.
- robgibbons 6y agoBeing a sociopath (antisocial personality disorder) does not mean a person is a predator at all. It means they lack empathy, disregard the feelings of others and often lie, break laws/rules and generally act impulsively. The exact description her own brother gave of her.
- 1000units 6y agoOf course it follows that sociopaths are natural predators.
- User23 6y agoAll humans are natural predators, it's just a matter of degree and socialization.
- 1000units 6y agoYes, of course, excuse me. I should have said they are natural high-degree predators. It should also be noted socialization has a direct relationship with heightened predatory behavior in sociopaths: higher socialization translates into better understanding of how to manipulate people. Whereas in non-disordered individuals, socialization fosters empathy and compassion.
