Impulsivity is a Sociopath's liability


Posts: 492

 

 

I think Professor Lund really fell into an impulse trap (she herself admits impulsivity is a liability of being a socipath)   when she allowed herself to be shown on Dr.  Phil with a crude wig and no real attempt to diguise her face or her voice.

 I don't think she really wanted to have called into question her legitimacy as a Professor of Law or as a Mormon who teaches Sunday school to young children.

Dr. Phil probably took delight in watching her fall foolishly into such a trap.  And the soundbite,  played over and over by media,  of her with a knife saying she cuts herself,  and that she can kill someone,  has made her a laughing stock among seriour scholars of law,  and of course among devout Mormons (especially those who have children in her Sunday classes).

One also wonders if it was self-punishment,  or what Wang Bi was refering to when he said: 

he calls upon himself downfall at the hands of gods and men.

This is calamity and self-injury.

Even if she becomes a pundit and an advocate for sociopaths,  the predatory aspect is not going to go over big in the coming culture,  which will likley include global war and economic recession.

 As Howe and Strauss tell it,  anyone predatory will be likley to become a pariah in such a social climate.   The power she had as a legal professor and as a Mormon and teacher of Sunday school,  hiding in "plain sight",  as she puts it,  while still being able to anonomously enjoy all manner of psychopathology in her private life,  is not somethign she can ever replace.

 A tacky pundit,  advocating for a lost cause (sociopaths fail on both the mundane and transcendent levels) in a changing social era will not be a role which will fulfil or sustain her.

Yes yes the author sucks and should be put away and made an example of, and those who have sadistic or sociopathic tendancies should be treated as second class citizens, we've heard it all before.

How about a new unrelated topic? Do you have any hobbies?

 I think my Effexor is making me manic.   One of my hobbies is social commentary.  The other is animals.  Going for a smoke now.

Just those two things? When not thinking about animals, it's social commentary you're enjoying?

Nothing else?

 I would say you seem pretty manic. Obviously some compulsion to this mission of yours. Does your brain feel like it's on fire? Because I can't imagine that you're enjoying all this disgust you seem to be feeling.

 I wonder what she does with animals when she is manic.

Global war and economic recession? What proof do you have of this one?

Exercising patience is a way out of many a doozie.

Why get your hands bloody, when the opponents can bleed themselves out and even thank you for it.

Observe, analyze and study.

It pays well to be a grave digger after a battle.
