Sociopath Community

You've clearly never met a righteous sociopath. Do you really believe these people are beyond redemption?

In economic theory, Adam Smith proposes the idea that the most effective society is one in which all individuals work to achieve their own gain. In theory, this should be the most efficient way in going about life (the universe, and everything), but Smith is wrong. The most effective and productive society is one in which the desires of the individual and society are achieved  simultaneously. A sociopath, especially one that's lower functioning, may not be aware of this, but a higher functioning 'path would be able to see and use this to their advantage, as well as the advantage of others around them (those they assume to be their peers).

For a higher functioning sociopath will have already found a niche in society where they are surrounded by others like themselves (corporate America, fascist society, etc), and thus will have no need to focus on petty gain.

No, I have never met one because a sociopath doesn't care about righteousness. Redemption is irrelevant.

The most effective and productive society is one in which the desires of the individual and society are achieved simultaneously. A sociopath, especially one that's lower functioning, may not be aware of this, but a higher functioning 'path would be able to see and use this to their advantage, as well as the advantage of others around them (those they assume to be their peers).

  They might use it to their advantage in the sense that they know that society thinks in such a way, but they still care more about their personal gain than what's best for society. If both the individual and societies desires are aligned then there isn't a problem, but as soon as a society norm is no longer in their best interest they will do what is best for themselves.

For a higher functioning sociopath will have already found a niche in society where they are surrounded by others like themselves (corporate America, fascist society, etc), and thus will have no need to focus on petty gain.

 Petty gain, no. If they are surrounded by others like themselves they are more than likely to be pursuing a much larger gain and their world be more cutthroat. Which even further prevents them from making 'righteous' decisions due to the fact that those decisions are almost never as profitable as a cold, calculated, business maneuvers, even if it is morally wrong.

You could, but nothing beats a 1st hand experiance.

Im still working out the kinks on this ideology, I definitely feel like I'm coming onto something here.

I still don't get what you learn through helping that you can't learn some other way.

sorry for the late reply but thats the point my fellow sociopaths, the world is ripe for exploitation. Some of us more than others have developed the tools and skillsets to do so. Listen what i am saying is sociopath is NOT  a bad thing. but if used appropriately will lead to better desirable outcomes. Take the example of the bum asking for change. Yes i have thought of disposing of such a bum but we need to be more capitalistic about our motives. The bum has a social utility. He can and must be exploited. 

So how would one exploit a bum, we sociopaths are known for calculation so be let us BE calculating. Think of the bum as a mere pawn. Use them to get closer to someone, nothing allows you to climb emotional ranks and trust with people than appearing to be genuine especially to less unfortunate. If need be one can pay said bum to do tasks for you. pretend to rob you in front of someone and then be the one to save the day. Their social utility is almost endless.

So such things would be apart of the website, using the less fortunate as a means to gain trust with a group or individual you wish to infiltrate or manipulate. My fellow sociopaths we must be cunning and calculated and committed. Such things are not illegal...highly unethical sure.  

The best example i can find is someone like a Frank Underwood, from house of cards, now that is someone we sociopaths should aim to be like.
