David Gillespie and I went into this episode with a planned topic and two minutes into our chat, he started talking about some other fascinating sh*t and our plan went out the window. At least you know this conversation is totally organic and unscripted. Yes, we’ve touched on psychopaths before but this time we did a deep dive into the psychology, sociology, anatomy and neurology of not only psychopaths but also, psychotics (not the same), sociopaths and narcissists. Among other cool stuff, David explains how psychopaths are lacking a certain type of spindle neuron (that most of us have), which drives their total lack of empathy, how their brain is literally anatomically different to the majority and why they consider empathy to be a weakness. Enjoy.
