[ “Hopefully there will be a way to detect this as a brain disorder and find a way to treat those cursed with it and jail those who act upon psychopathic impulses.”

You know what’s dangerous about that don’t you?
Yeah.
Like when the psychopaths are the ones in charge - and conservative thinking is held to be psychopathy (and punished as noted)... ]

Dang, good point.

But we certainly need to Jail those who act in unlawful ways whether they be psychopaths or not.

Yes - agreed, however,
that is why I have a quibble with fMRI’s & other supposedly “objective” means of measuring this.
I honestly don’t think that “control”, such as found in “Minority Report” would be that outlandish a concept, and not very far away, should we be led to RELY on them heavily (in making the diagnoses).
