Let me tell you folks. Humans are psychopaths. We are in an isolated planet for a reason. We can't stop making fool of ourselves by thinking that a mythic God created us with a special mold. We couldn't trust our neighbors out of fear. And we talk about psychopaths when in true case this whole planet is a place for psychopaths and we can't get it lol..

That said, great thread. This is something that everyone should be aware of when looking at some of the more serious conspiracies (example: missing children, 9/11, sugar in cigarettes) - "Which human, what group of people, could ever be capable of doing something so terrible?" - Because they do not have a conscience.
And I'd ditch the stats of 1-20 people. The idea is that all children are "sociopaths", but not in a necessarily negative way. It is that areas of a child's mind are not firing. Certain lightbulbs haven't been turned on. Conscience included. This is why the sons/daughters of Psychopaths are usually none the better, (George Bush Jr.) - It is because the psychopath tries to groom anyone impressionable into their image.
And guess what happens when they get their fingers in the music industry. Or how about many of the movies or television shows. Disney when you're young, FOX News when you're paying taxes.

They have no consciousness.
They dont have empathy, they dont care about any kind of life.
They dont care about their own children.
They dont care about their own parents.
They are fearless predators.
They MANIPULATE people to get what they want.
They will go thought life leaving trails of misery, psychological, emotional, financial damage, moving from one target to the other.

This sounds just like people who are caught up in addiction; any kind of addiction.
Affect Neurobiology has just come over the academic horizon and it will cause us to re-evaluate all of this.
To call these people 'not us' and to try and identify them as something 'other' is horribly short sighted.
Psychopaths are born; not made. New brain science is revealing this. If you don't know about affect neurobiology; don't kick yourself; things in science are moving so fast you must have missed it.
Basically, any theory that does not include all of us and tries to segregate people in to groups is just flat out wrong.
It's all of us doing this; not just some of us.

You could have traits, you don't have to have ALL of them. Typically, one of the biggest flags is they feel no REAL remorse. It's an act if they try to convey it in words. With these types, they use their words wonderfully, actions never follow or match up.
nobody in the field ever said with these exact words "psychopaths are not humans", but, they sure want to say, they do indirectly, the problem is that if they start doing that, the money wont come into their way anymore, they wont be able to keep researching, it would be, maybe, worse, for the case
but man, if you cant feel anything, how can you consider yourself human? if you dont have any care for humanity, you are not human, if you cant relate to our humanity, you are not human
off course that there are LOT of damaged people out there, that, if you test them, you will realize they can be recovered they just need some love and support to get over it

Wiki article on psychopathy is an interesting read.
en.wikipedia.org...
Among psychopaths, connection between amygdala (responsible for emotions and emotional learning) and frontal cortex (rational conscious thinking and behaviour) seems to be less developed than among normal people.
This connection, called the uncinate fasciculus, is the last white matter tract to mature in human brain during childhood. In a sense, small children are all psychopaths until their emotional responses mature.
