In
humans, he cerebral cortex is the seat of higher moral deliberation. The ability to conceptualize morally is a genetically
determined brain skill just like mathematical
or
mechanical ability. Someone born with effectively no ability to empathize with other living creatures, is what we call a moral
moron, or constitutional psychopath. They are four percent of the population, one in twenty-five people,
and are found in every walk of life.
As
with any dichotomy, there is a proportional number of people at the upper end of the moral continuum. Those who are average
in the moral sense cluster around the center point
Today,
the word sociopath is often used as a substitute term for psychopath, but actually denotes two sub-categories:
Psychopath
– One vs. Humanity
Dissocial
Reaction – One + Family vs. Humanity
This
is because the word psychopath, in popular use, has come to evoke the image of a violent, wild-eyed individual,
with hair-trigger rage reactions. Most of them, however, lead quiet lives of shallow superficial respectability, because they
learn early in life that keeping out of trouble is more enjoyable than getting into trouble. Their goals are usually the same
as anybody else, but often the means to attainment are very different.
There
are many good examples of this among individuals who grow tired of their spouse in a situation where money is involved. The
spouse may miss their daily insulin injection, fall down the front staircase, or suffer from a car with leaky brake fluid.
Psychopathy
can interact with other behavioral disorders. Criminals are almost always, at very least, constitutional psychopaths. The
worst are rapists, snuff and child porn video makes, kidnappers, pedophiles, and those who torture and kill for pleasure.
These people are irredeemably evil, and cannot be rehabilitated. The moral integrity and safety of human societies depends
upon eliminating them.
Group
Psychopathy
There
are many factors which determine human behavior, but if one group of people is forty IQ points lower than another group, then
it will also be forty moral IQ points lower. If this leads to the taking for granted and general acceptance of certain types
of evil behavior, then a tendency for this will be passed along genetically in that group, leading to what is often referred
to as a race of psychopaths.
Twits
will refer to the mature understanding of these matters as racism, but tepid knee jerk reactions, after all, is
what makes them twits.
