Basically, imagine a world where instead of organizational/life decisions based on 'how can i get MORE (and more and more ....) benefit, irrespective of who gets hurt' OR 'how can i get MORE benefit without damaging others (and maybe benefiting others too) ?'

the later can work just fine. actually it would be optimal. in my opinion.

when i posit that the flaw with the biblical discussion of 'free choice - or good and evil' is that why wasn't it good and better? to me it's a silly argument to excuse evil. it's never good and should be abolished whenever possible.

For the average person that has not dealt with a psychopath, nor read or educated themselves on the subject, it would be literally impossible to spot a psychopath even if they live under the same roof.

I don't think they really don't know, they just don't have a name for it. It's one thing to know a person you're dealing with is an extreme as...ole and the other knowing that he has no conscience and is basically as good as a serial killer. Finding a name for it and know what you're dealing with is the most important.

I totally agree, and this is what I wanted to point out. You know something is severely wrong with the person but just don't have the exact answer/label/diagnose, and you need a psychiatrist's opinion to actually KNOW you're dealing with a Psychopath.

I was wrong, I thought my brother has Bipolar II disorder or Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) for years, I was dead wrong, but the bulb lit up when I saw the diagnose written on paper and only then I was able to go research a bit more and put all the pieces of the puzzle together.

There are thousands/millions of abused women worldwide, that don't even have a clue that their husbands are psychopaths, they don't even have the slightest clue they have a mental disorder, they purely believe that they are abusers and that's the end of the story. I am a member in two Domestic Abuse communities and can tell. Many victims have got NO clue that they're dealing with people without a conscience.
