Search Results: will he change for good

No I’m not a sociopath. In fact I am sometimes too empathetic for people.

Anyway I have known a few in my life (even regrettably dated one in the past). I can’t change their nature but just accept the sad fact they can never be trusted. Sociopaths will only value people to the point they get value out of them. This can be sneaky because their “value” can mean different things. It can be looks, money, sex , social optics, etc. Even the ones who are heavily involved in “social justice” initiatives just want the social kudos that come along with it vs. really caring about the people they are supposedly fighting for. Sociopaths see life as a chessboard.

They get paranoid about being “found out” because when they know when that happens people don’t trust them. They need to be trusted to gain their own ends. So they are good at acting and behaving seemingly genuine. But when no one’s looking they will be the last to inconvenience themselves to help someone else who can’t repay them. That’s the acid test of identifying a sociopath; how do they treat people who can’t benefit them.

With all that said a part of me can’t help a bit envy for these people at times. They seem to always get what they want. Sociopathic men usually do (at least initially) very well romantically with women compared to more empathetic men.

It’s because they come off as confident and non chalant because they aren’t worried about hurting a woman’s feelings. They understand the concept of challenge and good at being manipulative. But they put on acts like they care to convince them otherwise. And of course they become the nasty heart break stories women complain about. Then some of these hurt women generalize ALL men for these asshole’s bs.

But on the flip side it must be a heavy burden knowing that you can never really be trusted and must always cover your ass.

When I look at the snowball effect of technology that has been occurring and how it continues accelerating, I wonder if we will... someone... will "lose it" or consciously decide society is not ready for all this, and try to set us back a few centuries to slow it down.

A lot of the technology progress can be good. Trouble is, can hit on our worst issues... security, trust, fear.

Quantum computing, artificial intelligence, bio engineering, space... to name a few.

We are in a massive time of social change pushed by technological discovery.

Will someone try to throw sand into the cogs and slow it down?

Wars, plagues, social uprisings?

Do you think those in power might try to "pull the plug"... if it looks to be getting out of control?

Granted... often wars lead to new technologies. But what if many of the top physicists were retained by Germany and wiped out? They've done this in Cambodia and China and Germany before... terminating people. This time... it's global.
