So today while working on my new facebook clone for the sociopaths / outcasts of the world, after playing out in my mind a scenario of scamming someone, my logic started to dissect the entire situation and it went like this;
"Hah, what a dumb ass mark, he'll give me all his money unknowingly and he won't notice anything until later, this is such a great plan, I'm a genius'
"What makes him dumb and what makes me a genius?"
"That he could never think of such a plan and I did this plan on the spot"
"Well, he probably could, he's almost as skilled and smart as you, it's his conscience preventing him"
"So he isn't intellectually deficient, but merely prevented by his conscience to think such things"
This made me have a "Wow!" moment, and made me ask myself this:
If he can think something up, but something in his mind prevents him to do it, is he psychologically impaired? Is having a conscience on the same level as having dementia, mental retardation, dissasociative disorders that shut down certain mental functions such as imagination, and major depression?
Let me know your thoughts.
