brain scientist discovers his brain is that of a psychopath

November 1, 2013

HERE.

It’s a fascinating story. Scanning the brains of psychopathic killers, Fallon discovers that he has a psychopathic brain as well. He’s no killer, but candidly admits to getting a kick out of charming and manipulating people into doing dangerous things. His brother says that hanging out with Fallon is more dangerous than his time spent in the Vietnam War.

No doubt, any of us will have encountered a number of full-blown psychopaths along the way, and it’s an intriguing game to play: pick out the psychopaths we’ve met. I’d have to say I’ve met three in academia, two male and one female. They weren’t entirely worthless people, but did seem to function according to a completely different set of rules that didn’t match the normal standards of humanity.
