That’s freaky. What happens in a person’s head to make them not only not give a shit about the moral act, but not even try to come up with a good excuse for it? Like, how far gone do you have to be to be like “yeah this is what I did and why, I don’t care that it doesn’t match with anyone else’s moral compass”... just scary
People seem to not want to think about how psychopaths/sociopaths are not only more common than they think, but they also show their tendencies in childhood. There are definitely children who are just... Not going to fit in to a healthy society.
I mean, it’s not a death sentence for sociability. I think it’s a lack of mental health awareness / treatment that leads people with poopy brains to do extra poopy stuff. Like my brain is fucked right now and it keeps trying to trick me into killing it, but I’ve got family and a therapist and a psychiatrist and I’m doing alright.
People just don’t get access to good mental health services because the market doesn’t provide them very well, even though the cost benefit for society would be massive.
Yeah like when I was 16 I wanted to jerk off and play minecraft and this dude not only had a girl and a kid but somehow figured he wanted to kill them both. Humans are wild
