because in every other facet of society, to not have a conscience leads to a diagnoses of Psychopath - but scientists escape this label - even though the unethical among them have wrought destruction on all of us - to varying degrees including death - for over a hundred years.

Someone said earlier, that ethics and philosophy don't belong in science : maybe that's what's wrong with mainstream scientists : they have no ethics nor philosophy to support a healthy conscience - hence why they don't have one :

= psychopaths.

While ethics is not science, I believe scientists should attempt to be moral. I do not think scientists are an immoral bunch for admitting that ethics is something that ought to be rather than is. This is why I think your OP is a huge strawman.

The problem with that is that the only people who will respond seriously to you are people like me.

I self-diagnosed primary psychopathy years ago. Prior to that I'd never felt affective empathy of any kind. When I see injustices in the world, I don't feel sad, I feel angry. Despite what you think, I still have a personality. I'm just beyond your empathic horizon, so to speak. I'll help you if I think what you're doing will help as many people as possible. Otherwise, I'll do nothing, which, in my experience, causes people who wish to harm others to implode.

>psychopaths rule our world

I've heard that outside Prison, Business CEOs & Upper Management have the highest levels of Psychopathy.

According to the British psychologist Kevin Dutton, the 10 careers that have the highest proportion of psychopaths are:

# 1. CEO # 2. Lawyer
# 3. Media (TV/radio) # 4. Salesperson
# 5. Surgeon # 6. Journalist
# 7. Police officer # 8. Clergy
# 9. Chef # 10. Civil servant


Except from Wikipedia:
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy_in_the_workplace
"The organizational psychopath craves a god-like feeling of power and control over other people."
"They prefer to work at the very highest levels of their organizations, allowing them to control the greatest number of people."
"Psychopaths who are political leaders, managers, and CEOs fall into this category."

"Psychopathy has a much higher prevalence in the convicted and incarcerated population, where it is thought that an estimated 15–25% of prisoners qualify for the diagnosis"

This makes no sense. Conscience is something that an individual has. That the process of doesn't have a conscience not mean that the individuals that perform this process does not. I would actually think the science community has a healthy amount of conscience. That the subject matter of science does not concern academic investigation of ethics, does not mean that they are bad people. A plumber isn't evil just because he merely fixes pipes.

What you fail to realize is that morality implies some level of self-preservation. Even if all I do is protect myself, protecting myself in the context of human society means ensuring that that society protects me. You gain from any self defense measures I create through society, and you fail by trying to rob me of that, by trying to put me outside of society.

That's a very, very bad definition, because a presidential election, too, can be defined as a thing that elevates one person in status above another in a way that allows them to control the actions of the other.

Injustice refers to something that isn't just, justice refers to morals, and morals are "standards of behaviour; principles of right and wrong".

>What you fail to realize is that morality implies some level of self-preservation

Now this part is just garbage and I don't really understand your point, please develop because there's no meaning to what you wrote.

>You don't understand psychopaths. To you it's just a word. You've never met someone that you were able to identify as such. You have no experience

Between you and me, I think you're the one considering that psychopath is just a word. It's a nice word, isn't it ? Do you feel better, using it to define what you think you are ?

I have experience of people, and more precisely of bullied children. Some of them also have autism. I don't want to be mean, but you profile seems like the one of a former bullied kid trying to explain his natural anger by psychopathy.

Therapeutically, you can be anything if it helps you to feel better. I hope you feel less rejected by defining yourself as a psychopath, anon.

No, because people who work for the government lose their status as people. They declare their allegiance to a system, and automatically become bonded to law. Their actions are not controlled by the president, they simply willingly act on the word of whatever fool has been elected.
>justice refers to morals
That's your (politically motivated) interpretation. It isn't like that for everyone, not by a long shot. You give nothing to go on for what's right or wrong, which only results in every nation, every culture, having their own standards.

>Do you feel better, using it
No, I feel nothing in relation to it. It's not a word I invented, it's a word you invented. You as the human, as the representative of society, of the humanity of it all, of science and psychology. It's your word, and I'm attempting to use it to communicate with you. I gain or lose nothing by it because you're not a trained psychologist.

>less rejected
I literally don't understand the concept. People around me have felt fear at the concept of rejection, but I've never met someone I couldn't outpace in an argument. To *actually* oppress me, someone would have to justify their behavior, at which point I can just ask them "why?" and it all falls apart. Most forms of violence revolve around the attacked person attacking back, and most forms of escalation are misunderstandings on an emotional level that push people to go from talking to violence.

You're using your experience to try to map me into a box you understand. That's wrong. That's fundamentally not how to deal with a psychopath. We are known to be able to manipulate psychologists—trained, intelligent psychologists. Experts in their field. This is because they don't actually perceive us, they don't actually empathize with us. They, like you, make assumptions about our "personality," and it doesn't work, because, quite frankly.

Someone without a personality can be anyone.

It's kind of misleading, as both the underlying cause and the effect of this differs between the disorders. In detail:

> Cognitive versus affective empathy

>Empathy can be subdivided into two major components:

> 1) cognitive empathy (also termed 'mentalizing'), the ability to understand another's mental state;
> 2) affective or emotional empathy, the ability to emotionally respond to another's mental states. Affective empathy can be subdivided into personal distress (self-centered feelings of discomfort and anxiety in response to another's suffering) and empathic concern (sympathy towards others that are suffering).[41][42]

>Studies found that individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) self-report lower levels of empathic concern, show less or absent comforting responses toward someone who is suffering, and report equal or higher levels of personal distress compared to controls.[41] The combination of reduced empathic concern and increased personal distress may lead to the overall reduction of empathy in ASD.[41]

>Studies also suggest that individuals with ASD may have impaired theory of mind, involving the ability to understand the perspectives of others.[43] The terms cognitive empathy and theory of mind are often used synonymously, but due to a lack of studies comparing theory of mind with types of empathy, it is unclear whether these are equivalent.[43] Notably, many reports on the empathic deficits of individuals with Asperger syndrome are actually based on impairments in theory of mind.[43][44][45]

>Baron-Cohen argued that psychopathy is associated with intact cognitive empathy but reduced affective empathy while ASD is associated with both reduced cognitive and affective empathy.[46]

Psychopath here. Just want to point out that part of the reason it took me so long to realize I was "different" was because my cognitive empathy is fully intact.

Very interesting. As an autist I had the exact opposite experience. I have always felt distressed by others suffering, but I didn't understand how incredible much easier it is for normal people to read these states. When this dawned upon me I understood how easy it must be for normies to manipulate autists. This is why autists are not dangerous like psychopaths are.

Was wondering if/when someone was gonna call that out.

Fact is, it's my diagnosis. Doesn't really matter if I got it from a clinical psychologist or myself. Anons on 4chan sure as fuck don't have more evidence about the lifelong state of my mind than I do. And supposition or disagreement about my diagnosis goes back to the authority that gave it, which is still me. In other words, even a trained psychiatrist has fuck-all to use as evidence to tell me what I am over the fucking internet.

This wasn't really about proving the validity of my discernment on the matter, this was about seeing how OP would react when presented with what to any onlooker could conceivably be a psychopath. I do think that the word fits my traits, and that my diagnosis of myself is accurate, but regardless of its accuracy, OP still acted like a faggot in response to an "apparent" psychopath.

TL;DR: It was a ruse that it was a ruse. I meant all of it.

Ethics have a place in science, and I think most people aren't actually arguing against that. They are arguing against that science should be concerned with developing the field of ethics. It's a sublte difference.

It was the same for me. Ironically I thought of myself as more empathetic person since I am so good at reading body language, mimics and generally comprehending what makes someone tick. So it was baffling to me that I was never in my entire life been able to connect to other person, achieve intimacy or truly care for anyone.

It took me years of life, psychology major and finally stumbling upon Simon Baron-Cohen's works on empathy, ASD and ASPD to solve this puzzle.

I said conscience. It's an arbitrary word. It applies loosely to any number of human behaviors and yet directly to nothing defined or measurable. People can have feelings and whims and empathize and yet have highly structured thought and generally abstain from "moral" judgements in favor of what kind of behavior is sustainable and productive. This is by definition sociopathic or psychopathic but it means nothing other than this person is interested in verifiable information and falsifiable opinions. They like to understand.

You have a child's worldview.

If you were forced to choose between the death of ten strangers or one person you love, would you refuse to make the decision to keep your hands and conscience clean, and have the decision made for you? Would you sacrifice what you love for the collective good? Or would you sacrifice the collective good for who you love?

Your answer is irrelevant. Words like sociopath only indicate a deviation from values which you, the beholder, take for granted. But those values have no basis in reality. You impose those values on the world around you and they cannot be upheld in all situations. It is very possible that life forces you to either make a calculated decision with other lives or let someone else with less "conscience" make the decision for you. Your inaction is still action and still serves your interests. "Sociopath" applies loosely to anyone and directly to no one because we have the capacity to scrutinize our ideas well enough to undo them and we all have the capacity to do what we must when we must devour to survive. This arbitrary categorization of people is just virtue masturbation. Welcome to real life.

You act like outcomes are obvious before research. Ridiculous. The problematic psychopaths are organizational leaders, who are mostly in business etc as >>10668435 mentions. Most scientists are trying to get enough to live on doing science, which is getting unlikely without being crammed into a corporation.

Corporations are entities without any sort of moral feedback loop that allows a social check on their operations, and they outweigh governments when collaborating within an industry.

Scientists aren't the problem, but we sure as hell know what the actual problem is. Get off our backs, man. If you're going to come posting in our board about this, then blame the actual bastards responsible damnit.

It’s true to some extent. The bigger problem are the hoards of overly emotional idiots who can’t help but make the same irrational decisions over and over again.

If you have a flaw in the system someone will inevitably try to exploit it. These people might have a personality disorder that makes them dead to feelings of empathy. Or they could just be regular people greedy enough to just live with their feelings of guilt. Ultimately it doesn’t matter and this behaviour will continue regardless whether psychopaths exist or not.

T.

Lots of absolute refusal to cite sources or define terms and an olympic level capacity for jumping to conclusions. One does not need ethics m to behave sustainably and productively within limits set by the the social contracts of our legal system. One does not have to be void of emotion to be only strongly influenced by verifiable facts. One with highly structured thought and little interest in value judgements is not necessarily dangerous to those around them. Sociopaths can choose to invent radio and/or fall in love with pigeons and be otherwise basically harmless.

No mattwr how hard you repeat your feelies on the subject, your arbitrary categorizations of character have no basis in verifiable reality and neither do your value judgements. I think this is all representative of child-level failures to think critically, and this is symptomatic of a world where even the educated have lost the capacity to scrutinize their ideas. Does that mean I want to gas you all? Fucking no. It means I want education socialized so that people have more frame of reference for how many of their ideas have failed to endure the stress test of time. That is overall just a more interesting, sustainable, and productive course of action and I don't have to derive "ought" from "is" when saying it.

Corrected the wiki
A scientific definition of the term psychopathy has still to be approved by the scientific community, the term is mainly used by the general public, popular press, and in fictional portrayals.[9][10] While the term is often employed in common usage along with "crazy", "insane", and "mentally ill", there is a distinction between psychosis and psychopathy.[11]

Psycho scientists invent new ways to inject poison into microscopic life, they imprison atoms and arrange them in a circle, like a satanic sacrificial ring, then they inject one until its shadow appears opposite it.
