Is it possible that Psychopaths and all mental illness with ill intentions are natural? Like they are the wolves to us dogs, and that human nature at its core is meant to do harm?
What if we as a species evolved and domesticated ourselves into dogs, leaving our wolf ancestry behind, and all these people with bad intentions have prominent wolf genes which should explain their predation?

Animals are made to hunt and eat, it's amazing that nature even manages to turn savage killers like wolves into nurturing parents that are higher on the food chain than perfected killing machines like snakes.
Of course they are, psychological pathologies are natural as fuck.
But what you understand under the term "psychopath" is not someone who wants harm people all day, the psychopaths you are talking about try to do anything to reach their goals and they don't give a fuck if someone gets harmed by their attempt of reaching that goal.
>hey don't give a fuck if someone gets harmed by their attempt of reaching that goal
that is still harm, just not physical.
The complete lack of empathy for others can usually be traced back to underdeveloped areas of your brain where enpathy/emotions get processed, like your Amygdala for example.
People like OP don't seem to understand what the term psychopath actually stands for
I think you are getting something wrong here.
The psychopaths you are talking about don't sit around all day while thinking "hmmmm, how can I fuck up humanity today"?
They are in a social situation where they need to make decisions, and psychopaths don't tend to think at all about the harm they might be causing(they actually don't give a fuck, they don't just pretend to not give a fuck), they are only seeing their goals and how to reach it.
Psychopaths are in a good number of cases physically unable to give a fuck about people around them
Actually no, that is also what I'm trying to say, the people I'm talking about dont have to think "hmmm, how can I fuck up humanity today", but rather it is perfectly normal and natural for them to do so, and some do it unknowingly, they do not notice this nor do they think that theres something wrong with them, it is whats natural for them, they have always felt like this all their life.
what I asked in the OP was, maybe these people shouldn't be shown in a negative light and have them branded as psychos or with mental illnesses, because they are much more than that, they can make hard choices, choices some people are not comfortable of, necessary choices.
I do apologize for the confusion though, I am actually finding it hard to express what is it I'm asking and trying to say, its somethin along the lines that maybe theres nothing wrong with them contrary to what modern psychology believes, and that their behavior is part of human nature itself, and that these people are actually more evolved in certain areas instead of being 'devolved'
>mixing personality disorders with "all mental illnesses"
>far fetched comparison to animals
Yet another thread about things OP doesn't understand.
My bad, sorry about that.
But I see it like that aswell, if you ask your average Joe about psychopaths, he will most likely tell you something about some serial killer or whatever, but there is so much more to that topic than most people think.
I personally believe that some psychopaths who found their way to the top had/have a huge impact in our lives in many different areas.
I fully agree with you that the term is not getting the full attention it deserves abd people just assume to much and know too less when it comes to topics like these.
>I fully agree with you that the term is not getting the full attention it deserves abd people just assume to much and know too less when it comes to topics like these.
yeah, not to mention the topic itself attracts edgelords making it hard to actually have a nice discussion about it.
in this note, whats the general consensus on Psychology itself?
