RE: Why Do Psychopaths Get Bored? A Plausible Explanation

in #psychology6 years ago (edited)

I'm glad that you appreciated the talk! Thank you! Actually, it isn't exclusive to psychopaths, it's just that they'll make the decision faster than most "emos" because it's logical to sacrifice 1 to save 4, and accept the consequences, rather than sacrifice the 4 and have to deal with unforeseen consequences. It's just logic.

Now, if the 1 was, say, an extremely rich or famous person, the outcome might be different, because you may consider the possibility of being rewarded lavishly. It's not that the 4 are worth less, morally, it's the lure of wealth...
