  1. A few months I'd imagine, just long enough to dissect them completely. If the cadaver (or more often part of it) are intended to be used as a teaching aid then they can be preserved and used indefinitely, as anyone who has seen human body parts and embryos in jars of formaldehyde/alcohol will attest.

  3. Unfortunately, it's the very same psychopaths and sociopaths who have attained powerful positions within society who get to decide who is one. The fields of #psychology and #psychiatry are, like the field of #economics, sociopolitical in nature.

  5. Racism and bigotry are culturally defined and historically contingent. For instance, until recently racism (by whites against blacks) would be de rigueur in, say, the deep South of the USA and certainly during the heyday of legal chattel slavery. Similarly, antisemitism in Europe up to the post‐world war 2 era.

  8. I thought the idea that you could detect whether people were this or that through brain scans had been debunked or at least found to be deeply flawed. Also, isn't the definition of psychopath/sociopath for the most part culturally determined — do they really exist outside the sociocultural framework of the observer?
