Sociopaths are fundamentally evil. Yes, it's a mental impairment, but the result is essentially evil: Self interest to the point that one has no regard for anyone else.

[(Anonymous)]

If you believe that, is there any abnormality that makes someone fundamentally good?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think that's factually correct as an analysis of sociopathy, and I think it's also a fucked-up way to talk in general.

No, they're not. Your pop culture definition of what it means to be antisocial is incomplete and incorrect. What they are is fundamentally terrible at empathy, to the point of being unable to distinguish emotional distress in other people.

True sociopathy is a form of face-blindness, essentially. It doesn't mean they're incapable of caring about other people or incapable of wanting to be good people, it means they're people who often just can't tell if someone else is experiencing emotional pain.

Well, no. This is a basic misunderstanding of what sociopathy means. Sociopaths might lack empathy, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll behave evilly toward others. Many of them are jerks, this is true. But plenty of sociopaths understand that while they may not feel the same regard for other people that non-sociopaths do, it still behooves them to NOT act like an evil asshole. Some of them struggle to make up for their inherent deficiency, much like people with Aspergers struggle to find coping mechanisms so they don't end up social outcasts.
