  1. now, where do megalomaniacs fit into this? I was afraid this was going to be just another clinical whitewashing of this subject matter but I think dr. durvauila actually explained it thoroughly and honestly. thanks doc. I use the word "predator" to describe all these character disorders. their absence of empathy makes them very predatory against their own species. a very unnatural human trait. but the doc never uses the example of abuse to describe the creation of sociopaths. can't being abused or bullied as a child create a reactively non-empathetic and predatory character? lastly, although the causes of psychopathic and sociopathic behavior may differ the result is the same! so these words can be used interchangeably to describe the behavior but not the origins of the behavior. so unless I can sit down and have a discussion with my rapist about his past he's still both a psychopath and a sociopath for all intents and purposes as far as i'm concerned

  2. i agree with you Kristina. its the content of the video that's important. not the occasional silly reaction shots of the interviewer. there is such a thing as being overly critical and these people "doth protest too much, methinks." they're definitely demonstrating psychopathic behavior. or is sociopathic?

  3. +Julia... you make an interesting point. it all boils down to the reality that it doesn't really matter if any of the elite are insane, mentally ill or socio- or psychopathic or whatever. what matters is that they're just HORRIBLE people and should've never been entrusted with the wealth and power the system has granted them. equalism simplifies all this by just identifying ALL these horrible people as PREDATORS. that reduces it down to its most basic element. it combines all these negative character traits into one simple identifiable trait - THEY ARE PREDATORS!
