I watched #Manosphere, the documentary on Netflix
Jesus, these men are such paper-thin cardboard cutouts of mankind. They are hollow, empty, whiny people catering to even whinier boys.
In YouTube comments of reviews of the documentary, the men making comments are also such a clutch of whiney complainers.

Kathryn Newhouse was my friend, and we lost her. https://www.hrc.org/news/an-advocate-for-trans-rights-with-a-bright-smile-hrc-celebrates-the-life-of-kathryn-katie-newhouse
In honor of her passing, which was tragic, I recall the time that we lost her.

Rate yourself against a #psychopath
The guy is on the floor and bleeding profusely from a large open wound under his ribs. He is clearly incapacitated and in seriius medical trouble.

Rate yourself against a #psychopath
You are out with friends on a Friday after work to celebrate a birthday. They bring out an ice-cream cake with sparklers and a chef's knife. A drunk guy who has been ogling the birthday girl struts over, and becomes lecherious. Things escalate. He reaches over you and grabs her by the throat
You are likely to
Rate yourself against a #psychopath
A coworker of several years enters a meeting room looking distraught and says to the team that the colleague you were all waiting for had been killed by a bus while she was crossing the road with the lunch tray.
Your reaction is
- Instant blubbering mess of tears, snot, and drool
- You involuntarily slap a hand to your mouth and yell "OMG! and you gut hurts
- You stifle a yelp, and are very concerned
- You glance at the others to guage their responses
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

In this view, #psychopathy might be:
Primary Psychopathy or Factor-1(Grandiose/Manipulative): high Openness, low Conscientiousness, high Extraversion, low Agreeableness, and low Neuroticism (low anxiety)
Secondary Psychopathy or Factor-2 (Impulsive/Irresponsible): low Conscientiousness, low Agreeableness, and high Neuroticism (anxiety, impulsivity)
Unfortunately, what everyone thinks of when they imagine a Factor-1 #psychopath makes the OCEAN get twisted a bit to fit. So maybe not perfect
Integratory
This is where the most interesting part is for me. For example, where they have renovated Hare's questionnaires, and posited that #psychopaths are born, and that #sociopaths are made by the environment, but that both are not CATEGORICAL, but rather DIMENSIONAL, and composed of several traits, along which people may vary.
An additional approach is to use the highly validated OCEAN scales, and postulate that #psychopathy is just settings on the OCEAN scales.
The issue with the Anatomical is that it again relies on carceral samples, and uses somewhat biased diagnostic tools to select who gets scanned (and who doesn't)
This creates a potential for a self-reinforcing loop that increasingly identifies candidates according to a biased dignostic, and then refines the diagnostic using MRI studies derived from that sampling.
