Comment from discussion of Jim Fallon’s talk on the psychopath’s brain

Oct 8 2011: This is just so wrong. “Brain Damage”? No. How about, evolution! I’m sick of ‘specialists’ trying to talk about us like we have brain damage or must have witnessed some sort of huge disaster in our lives to be void of emotion. Personally, I feel I operate on a higher level. Emotional connections are limitations to greatness and offer no positive effects to life. While it may make you feel better to consider yourself ‘normal’ and see me as a ‘brain damaged psycho’ all you are really doing is swimming through the pool of reality with your eyes closed. Maybe it’s just because those of us with this “brain damage” are able to set goals and don’t get distracted by petty emotional problems like the rest of you. Maybe time for you all to take a look at the evolution chart and have a good hard look at where you think it is headed, because human society no longer needs communities for protection from each other so the emotional ties are the modern version of the appendix; and as such is no longer required.
