rooted in a fundamental belief that everyone wants to be good at heart
What about if antisocial personality disorder is mostly genetic? Couldn’t some of the behaviors be defined as intentional? It’s still not that person’s fault of course. How does that fit into your theory?
ASPD comes with reduced empathy, and thus reduced ability to visualise and anticipate the harm caused by one’s actions. I think people with ASPD mean well in terms of seeking to bring joy to all those they remember are capable of experiencing it. They just forget sometimes that other people exist.
Hmm, maybe, I don’t really know. I think my uncertainty is in understanding if we have various genetically driven behaviors like so many other animals. Many of us (animals) kill and do many harmful (malicious) things to each other for survival and reproduction. We may not see it as malicious when other animals do it, because it’s “natural.” We seem to pretend that we aren’t part of nature. Some traits like ASPD do seem to greatly aid in the survival game.
Do you believe that there are many behaviors of animals that genetically predetermined?
