To be fair, he is specifically pointing out bits of information that are designed to lead you a certain way, he is not just saying don't believe him.
Thus you can't debunk him just by saying "Don't believe him because he is a psychopath is insufficient".
If you want to pin all of his logic on that baseline theory (which would be stretching it), then your replacement no longer works, as crack dealers aren't known for being persuasive and manipulative in words in that way. Similar for most other distrusted groups.
- MarkPNeyer 13y agoadditionally crack dealers and pedophiles are probably more likely to be sociopaths. i'd guess most groups gain 'distrusted' status because of the influence of sociopaths within them.
- Guvante 13y agoOrthogonal to my point, and I would guess that your assumption is incorrect. Well known cases are probably sociopaths, due to the combination making them more interesting. But we are both just conjecturing :).
- undoware 13y agoOf course crack dealers are manipulative and good at lying. The ones that aren't are caught. It's selected for.
- g8oz 13y agoI don't think you know much about crack dealing.
