This is a good reason why people with anti social personality disorder shouldn’t be shunned. Most of them operate just fine and don’t do “evil” shit. It’s just a personality disorder like many others, coping can mean cooperation.

Everybody has morals - we couldn't exist otherwise. Like we couldn't exist without feeling hunger. Some people just choose to suppress theirs.

Devil's advocate: what is considered "treating others well" in the absence of morals?
Doesn't being "nice," or a "good person" depend on a guiding ideal? Even if those principles are non-religous, they would inspire us towards harmonious, beneficial behaviors.
