[Content Warning] psychopath (including sub-clinical)

See also: 

• “History Tells Us How the Ukraine War Could End (it's worse than you think)”   https://youtu.be/nDqn27gl2vg   An excellent consideration of history and psychopathy, and human failings when facing psychopaths       
• “Can psychopaths change?”   https://theconversation.com/can-psychopaths-change-270344    This provides a differentiation between sociopath and psychopath (the latter lack remorse or guilt), which is better than every other attempt to differentiate that I have ever read (not to mention the view that the difference is semantic only, which is what I - until now - have held to). The article criticises previous attempts to examine this, and reports on a study which shows SOME promise. 
  The article does not address the view that psychopathy is a spectrum.
