What interested me was when Factor-1 gets its own scales rather than mixing it with Factor-2, my scores rise substantially. That's because when you shift all the explosive impulsiveness and recklessness from a general #psychopathy checklist, my form becomes far more obvious

Anyway, you are welcome to ask questions about what being a #psychopath is like

Best Podcast: Clearer Thinking

I actually can’t believe I haven’t recommended Clearer Thinking yet in previous years, given that it’s been consistently one of my most listened-to podcasts for several years now. The topics discussed range from psychology and economics to politics, climate change, AI, philosophy and many more topics. Apart from the excellent guests they manage to find on a weekly basis, the main highlight of the podcast is the host Spencer Greenberg, who always manages to ask unexpected and challenging questions yet always does so with openness and compassion.

It’s pretty hard to pick a single episode, so I will cheat a bit and recommend a collection of connected conversations about different personality disorders:

• A conversation with a sociopath
• A conversation with a narcissist
• A conversation about borderline disorder
• A conversation with a rigid perfectionist who has OCPD
• A conversation with an autistic person
• A conversation with a person with OCD

Each of these conversations gave me a new understanding and appreciation for the difficulties that people with these disorders live with, all from their own perspective (which is sadly all too rare). I strongly believe that by listening better to each other and showing curiosity rather than judgement, we can prevent a whole lot of damage and suffering, and I cannot think of better examples of that than these episodes.

Previous winners: 80,000 Hours with interview with Audrey Tang (2022), The Way Out Is In with Space, Time, and the Ultimate Dimension (2023), and Dice Exploder with Rule Zero with Ema Acosta (2024).

Die #asPD wird sich bei künftigen Wahlen daran gewöhnen müssen, noch schlechtere Ergebnisse einzufahren.
