    I think it’s very much environmental.

    I don’t believe in “psychopaths.”

    • There’s a few research papers which identify psychopaths have different autonomic nervous systems. The autonomic nervous system controls the flight or flight response. The difference found in psychopaths nervous system results in a complete dulling of this function. Meaning they dont get stressed which explains how they can lie and a lie detector can’t pick it up. Psychopaths need to have a running history from birth until the early teens years of certain traits whereas a sociopath would be more inline with the classic “they were a great kid until they starting hanging with the wrong crowd”.
