I think in the past, I was subject to sociopathic people within the family and elsewhere. I don't hate them, I've just come to understand the whole phenomenum more. I myself have some of the traits (although certainly not all of them).

Think???
Conjecture........................
How many DIAGNOSED sociopaths have you encountered?
Im sure you are familiar with the phrase, "If you cant dazzle them with science, baffle them with bullshit".

By their fruits, ye shall know them. I don't think; I know. I was just being evasive. It does not take the DSM to understand the actions of those which are petty, rivalrous, unjust, pernicious, malevolent to others. Thank god the psychologists do not have the last word on human nature.
It's simply a manipulative statement that places blame on you and uses fear to influence behavior. It says if you do not do your "duty", if you think you are above the task that was assigned to you, then YOU will cause god and men to cause injury to you. a "you brought this onto yourself" kind of thing.

Well, it's probably a solid and true law of life, and certainly would not favor the soft or the sentimental. For a sociopath, their duty might consist in guarding their own interests well. And if they failed in this, there would indeed be calamity. Nietzschean valuations could in presuppose just this kind of axiom.

by smkovalinskyFor this type, we need not fear there will be no retribution. As Peter Novak explains, the brain itself, at death, will put them into a sort of hell, caused by time-dilation (this is where the idea in antiquity of "eternal suffering" comes from: It is simply brain and neuro-science: The brain can make an hour feel like a century.) The influx of repressed judgments, which the sociopath was so good in life at ignoring, will flood the brain like a tsunami wave, and there will be no escaping : "there will be evil" is not just rhetoric.
Honestly, I've been accused of being a pretentious windbag before, but I already see this leading down a road that'd take it to a new level. I could never condense my response.
EDIT: This the tail I consume in my Ouroboros mind.
- How on earth does adhering to Novak's theory make me a pretentious windbag?
- How exactly am I being pretentious?
- You just cannot refute the theory out of hand, as it aligns with cutting-edge neuro-science and brain studies. It should only be dismissed with counter-theories coming from neuro-science (thus far it has not been, not even by researcher Susan Blackmore).
- If the brain (according to researcher Anthony Peake) has the ability to dilate time greatly (and this has been proven) and if the right brain has the power to flood the brain with repressed self-judgments at death: Then the concept of judgment and hell believed by all peoples in antiquity is explained as being a natural phenomenum: Coming from within the recesses of the brain automatically and objectively - and most emphatically NOT coming from any God or Being or "Great Judge".
