      Terrorists aren't psychopaths. They're idealists with a strong but horribly warped sense of morality. Very differenthttps://twitter.com/YS/status/877473958089695233 …

      No. When I spoke about psychopaths, I am referring to the original topic. Terrorists.

      Psychopaths do not understand sacrificing their lives for a perceived higher good. Martyrdom is alien to them.

          They cannot be blamed on societies teaching boys to repress their emotions. Recruiters are trained in manipulating emotions.

          Psychopaths are also very unreliable. Not great team players. Impulsive. Great manipulators tho. It's a term often used, rarely understood.

          This is why I tweeted about my annoyance of ppl using & describing psychology but knowing nothing about it besides their pop-psych books.

          ...as I recall, that guy said he wasn't a psychologist, and yet he's holding forth on it as if he's an authority. What a world.

          Yes. It was bc of him that I tweeted about it. But he's conceding a bit. Many ppl do this. They diagnose everybody. Or conflate psychology

          with sociology or gender studies. They also take statistics & use them to tell their own story. Never thinking that bias, sfp etc may apply

          to them. It can get frustrating. But there seems so willingness to discuss with him. So I feel it's worth a try 🙂

          I went through the entire thread earlier where he first showed up. It was agonising; both of you showed amazing patience.

          Fanatics are extreme altruists, sacrificing their lives for an ideal. Psychopaths are supremely selfish.
