Episode notes
Psychopathy and Politics
- Psychopathy may be a rare temperamental variant, not necessarily a qualitative difference.
- Aggressive, deceitful individuals gravitate towards extreme political beliefs where violence is more likely.
Speaking Up
- Speak up when the cost of silence is higher than speaking.
- Consider both risks and choose the lesser evil.
Equality and Development
- Assume everyone has equal capacity at birth.
- Provide enriching environments for full development, then let individuals sort themselves out based on effort.
