Interesting lurking here.
Repetitive.
A copy of a copy always degrades. Lossy replication theory.
How do y'all deal with each other? Rudderless, without emotion - other than that which you mimic.
Any of you notice that here? Probably not.
Someone opined that aspd is a "next" evolutionary step - shedding "useless/unnecessary" emotions. Lol. What would result is...this forum.
Copies of copies. Iterative lossy degradation.
You.

by PrabbeI like your thoughts... "useless, unnecessary emotions" (?) i think to have no feeling would be like a life with no music, beauty, art, or fine wine, for that matter. So empty (and boring) and so, so sad.
A very common recurring theme = ->> not knowing how to feel/act appropriately in given "X" situation. Miming emotional responses/reactions of empathy, understanding and the like, ie, modelling (socially) appropriate reactions to fit in (while simultaneously getting what you want) is the fundamental baseline "go to" default means of coping on short notice in world full of useless, outmoded emotionally driven silliness.
But extirpate those emotions so many disdain? Left coping bad copies.
Evolutionary dead end.
They - the nons - win. Aspd thrives in "General society" through opportunity. They create, aspd fed.
Pale death is that where beautiful originality- ie- is squandered.
Pale life? I do expect an answer. At some point.
"Miming emotional responses/reactions of empathy, understanding and the like, ie, modelling (socially) appropriate reactions to fit in (while simultaneously getting what you want) is the fundamental baseline "go to" default means of coping on short notice in world full of useless, outmoded emotionally driven silliness."
I find it hard to believe that most people don't do this. According to generic online dictionary, empathy is the ability to understand and share someone else's feelings. It's easy to understand people's emotions, and respond appropriately, to make them feel better, but to share it? Does that mean getting sad because somebody else is sad even if what they're sad about has nothing to do with you?
I'm not aspd and I think that sounds strange. There have been times where I've wished I could take away someone's pain, but never have I wished I was able to feel the pain as well.
I think like many traits, empathy falls on a spectrum and some people are definitely able to share (experience - not just understand) other's feelings. I think, for example, this is evident among the "tortured artists" who feel life so deeply. Perhaps it is the other end of the scale of mental illness.
Kind of like the Goldilocks of mental illness - too much feeling vs. no feeling, and then just the right amount of emption to cope in this world.

If aspd was an evolutionary step, I think the incidences would be greater than 3-4% of general pop? That being said, I wonder if society is encouraging antisocial behaviour through mass consumerism, technology, and the lame ass media.
aspd is usually a product of enviroment.....
they show us the holes in our society, as the holes get bigger so do they become more prevalent......
and they are the fixers because things must be destroyed before they can be rebuilt...
sociopathy is a destructive force by definition
they destroy everything from concepts, prejudices, to lives, to societies as a whole...
