I’m convinced people can become psychopaths, which I see as simply losing
interest or faith in the simple, obvious, pragmatic good, after making
seemingly innocuous choices, like being lazy, until their mind loses
contact with value from lack of investment in value.
And because everything is exponential, they drift towards entropic, less
useful, less meaningful pleasures until their hearts and vision are so
small, they delight in totally useless behaviors like those we call
“psychopathic”.
