fortunately I'm well equipped in the latter

Why are you keen to listen to random strangers online who could as well be talking complete non-sense and wasting your precious time

you're not a stranger, I've been talking to you for days

and no, it isn't nonsense

that is something discernible

don't give yourself so little credit

Yes, but I'm just another individual spotted in the wild

not quite

Why would you want to hear my opinions

I think you're an intelligent and thoughtful person

I'm not suspicious btw, only curious

I understand

you underwent a couple of layers of selection to end up in here

you're not just a random, even if we had not talked to date

"what kind of higher, permanent, rock solid truth are we talking about here"

I can only say that it is something not yet realized

I listened to your music too, so just on that basis you wouldn't be worthless

fair enough

I have a couple of ideas about music that need a bit more testing

music and personality

I think that Buddhist, Hermetic and other doctrines which say that such a realization is a moment of bliss, not an endless maintenance, make sense, and hence, I consider myself somebody who isn't there

I want to listen to music by a confirmed sociopath

that is good

how does one go further down that path

wherever it leads

define sociopathy

I won't right now, but I'll define a sociopath

a sociopath is a person who has no conscience, the primary problem of whom is never having formed a loving bond with another human being

further from the above are my own ideas

I agree with some psychiatrists in the earlier part of the 20th century and a couple of other people that humans create for themselves various "false selves"

I suppose you could call them identities too

or masks

these false selves are derived from an underlying true self

that may not be realized

but is nevertheless playing a big role, each "mask" is a subset of the true self in a way

a sociopath is someone who has no true self, has not developed one, or cannot access his true self in any way (theory)

due to the above issue, never having formed a loving bond with another human being

in a critical stage of development

usually that bond would be with a parent or parents (and a few more people for most healthy individuals)

For me, sociopathy has so far been, In my undestanding, defined by these two

1. Ability to understand how human emotions work, but not to genuinely display or posses them

(hence psychopaths/sociopaths are masters at deception)

2. Inability for any loyalties other than towards one self

both are indeed qualities possessed by the sociopath

except 1

needs a bit more nuance

a sociopath may be very capable indeed at displaying human emotions

3. Due to the above, and other cumulative effects, inclination towards destructive, violent behaviors (due to inability to perceive any sense of collective)

by displaying you mean faking

more consequence than collective

well no I don't

a sociopath in display

is not just mimicking expressions etc, they are actively processing that emotion

but cannot appreciate its significance

I would speculate some kind of mirror neuron thing going on

and sociopaths do genuinely feel anger, resentment, etc.

some people who lack affect in near aspergers way are sociopaths, but by no means even a significant minority

sociopaths more often than not, process emotions of people going about

than do they deal with their own emotional life

dont you think ?

since manipulations is almost as if their primary concern

the idea is the true sociopath cannot deal with their own emotional life

or gain any insight into it

couple that with inability to feel remorse and you get your 3

my idea is that sociopaths should be dealt with according to their actions, if any deviant behaviors they display

it isn't based off of a collective spirit

as if they are a fact of life just as any other

that isn't what stops people from doing bad shit generally either

except like, Chinese people

and even there, it's a layer on top

No, I was talking about their destructiveness

A sociopath isn't destructive because he feels no empathy

They will more easily be destructive towards society, since they don't consider people or property as of having a value greater than utilitarian

but because he fears no consequence

yeah, that's reasonable

no sense of "sacred"

anyway, the idea is

and i almos forgot

a true sociopath would be unable to produce genuine music

so I'm looking for something that could contradict that because I don't think it would be too hard to find music by a sociopath

their obliviousness to danger almost as a rule comes from their huge self-confidence and sense of infallibility, which they find difficult to overcome

I could be wrong

i.e. huge ego

yeah, because every sociopath is a narcissist

by definition

likely due to the causation

actually I have some evolving views here, about the whole thing, but I don't know where that's going to go right now

everyone knows what a sociopath is, no one knows what a sociopath is

but yeah, music

the idea is, music is deeply appealing because it resonates with the true self

"touches the heart" you could say

good music I mean

will catch up with this later

gtg shop some groceries

I found new sources of fat, food cost now down to $2/day

61 dollars a month

my investments pay for almost 10 times cost of food

american christians really are revolting subhumans. I got a lecture in mental health concepts in different cultures, most of it being focused on perceived diseases according to folk definitions in different cultures, and it said whites in the american south actually believe in witchcraft and hexes

Faith of the American frontier, is one primitive, dumbed down, sensual worldview of sub-tropical areas

And betrays the spirit of the negro villages at every corner
