      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.

      Surely that's a blanket statement? More likely to be overlapping Venn diagrams.

      No. They can join terrorist organisations for profit & power. They can't be fanatical idealists willing to die for a greater good

      The psychology of psychopathy & the psychology of ideological fundamentalism are mutually exclusive.

      That can be true as well as the psychology of psychopathy & of fundamentalism being mutually exclusive.

      You're being absolutist. The "profit" could be the afterlife and all the promises associated.

      In theory but in practice, not really. They don't tend to think that way.

          This is quite good on it. http://infosect.freeshell.org/infocult/The_Psychology_of_Fundamentalism-Gerald_Wiviott.pdf … I can't really be bothered to argue about it much tho. Complicated & work to do.

          The goal is moving 😁 "tend" means overlapping Venn diagrams.

          No, Malik. I'm really not interested in fighting a battle over this & trying to 'win.' Psychologies fundamentally different.

          You can search my tag & psychopathy & get a lot more of the stuff I've read & studies I've been involved in & psychopaths I've worked with.

          But I can't be bothered to argue. I think if you read the psychology of fundamentalists & the psychology of psychopaths, you'll see.
