OK. I now see how people can have an inability to learn or act from social
programming, thus developing into a sociopath. But, that doesn't explain
variences of social disorders, UNLESS they have other mental symptoms as
well. Classifying someone as a sociopath minimizes isolating the problem.
Such a classification would definately indicate brain damage (putting aside
it may be the philosophy of a normal brain) and I would look toward
medication and/or surgery along with cognitive therapy. Before doing so
though, I would definately MAKE SURE they lack ability. How do you test
someones ability, mental reflexes? Especialy someone who's uncooperative or
may be lying to you (always need to expect that)?
