I’ve written about this topic here several times, but it occurs to me I haven’t properly categorized it. All the appropriate blog posts are under Defense Against Psychopaths.

The problem is that category has become quite broad. So I’ve created a new category Defense Against a Psychopath. This is where to go if you’re trying to solve an immediate personal problem.

Here is a quick guide to the new category, so far.
Shunning is key. The problem is no solution will work unless you can identify them BEFORE they take advantage of you. They will succeed unless you know your self
So…
- Know yourself.
- Identify psychopaths
- Shun psychopaths
If you can’t shun them keep all interaction public. This is a decent disincentive to anti-social behavior. This is so you never let give them 1. singular authority over data or 2. a supervisor role over another human (including yourself.)
So now it’s
- know yourself
- Identify psychopaths
- shun psychopaths
- If you can’t shun because you have to enforce the two rules, keep all interaction public.
If you want personal help, read the following in order.
