I don’t agree with the use of the word “sociopathic”. It’s Greek for “socially ill” and has historically been associated with pseudoscientific stereotypes applied with people with antisocial personality disorder. Mental disorders are not bourgeois, they are proletarian. They are associated with hardship and trauma, not privilege.
maybe check out ‘The Sociopath Next Door’ by Dr. Martha Stout, or ‘Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths Go to Work’ by Paul Babiak and Robert D. Hare for a quick lesson. Unlike sociopathy, it’s possible for ignorance to be temporary.
Why would I read books by authors willing to use ableist slurs? Martha Stout and Paul Babiak sound like terrible people I want to hear nothing from. I’m already sure their opinions on mental disorders are worthless pseudoscientific garbage.
