Psychopathy is a spectrum of possibilities linked with survival drives. It appears in commonly accepted forms in everyday life and more egregious, devastating ways as well. Often extreme manifestations of psychopathy become part of everyday existence, almost taken as normal while its cumulative destructiveness mounts. This paper explores a range of psychopathic states in individuals and groups, including positive and negative contributions these tendencies can make. Psychopathy in individuals and culture interweave in many ways, and some of the latter are discussed.
精神病态是一系列与生存驱动力相关的可能性。它以日常生活中普遍被认可的形式出现,也以更恶劣、更具破坏性的方式存在。通常,精神病态的极端表现成为日常生活的一部分,几乎被视为正常,而其累积的破坏性却在增加。本文探讨了个体和群体中的一系列精神病态状态,包括这些倾向可能产生的积极和消极影响。个体中的精神病态与文化在许多方面相互交织,本文将讨论其中的一些方面。
