Treating sociopaths is not the same as lying about sociopaths or sociopathy because you think doing so will prevent sociopathy.

Treating sociopaths is not the same as lying about sociopaths or sociopathy because you think doing so will prevent sociopathy.
- anonymouskimmer 3y agoSure. The key is whether a statement is a genuine truth, or a policy based on a genuine truth plus various moral priors. Moral priors aren't genuine truths, they're predilections or rules of thumb. And even baldly stating a genuine truth enough times will have effects outside of its truthfulness. People respond to truths, they don't just hear them.
