Among psychopaths and politicians, alike...
A Vanderbilt University study has new findings on how psychopaths weigh risk and reward. The study suggests that psychopaths may possess amped-up dopamine reward systems that compel them to pursue their goals regardless of personal cost.
And you thought they were just oblivious to the risks.
Well of course!
Psychopaths (and, I assume sociopaths as well) are simply VICTIMS of a chemical imbalance, just as obese people like to think THEY are!
Similarly, Big Pharma and the FDA in the USA assume we're ALL pharmaceutically-deprived, don't ya know....
We've come a LONG way from assuming ghetto gangbangers were the ONLY ones that could blame others for their shortcomings.
