Don’t be sad.  I was sad too.  At first.  I truly believed that everybody had some good in them.  We want to trust everything and everyone.  We want to believe that all behavior is learned and therefore preventable.  It’s not.  A psychopath can vary quite a bit in actual behavior, but their context of ruthless selfish logic is just plain old genetic.

Empathic humans are as far as I can tell the only creature in the known universe that gives so much with the promise of so little in return.  I’m just making you sadder huh?

Look at it this way.  The world would just be giant stadium of thoughtless brutal fighting without us.  We are the parents reigning in the out of control children in the playground.  We are civilization.  We are hope.  When we work together the sum is greater than the parts.  This is literally what economy of scale is.  Our cooperation and trust makes the world a MUCH better place.  Even the dismal science (economics) has this at it’s center.

Be the change you want to see in the world.  Now we have the tools to fix it.  Use your gifts.  Treat everyone with compassion and love.  Cooperate.  Resist and avoid emotional programming.  Investigate waste and corruption and stand firm against it.  Create and share.  Know yourself.  Learn how to contribute to civilization.  Grow.  And we grow with you.  It’s a fact.

I’m working on a code (not a murderous one) for psychopaths.  Not just to protect us from them, but to make their lives better.   Give them a life without panic and subterfuge.  A new option.  Just as psychology lifted emapths up, psychopaths have their own psychology.  With awareness they have options.

Hang in there, we’re just getting started.
