The reason that psychiatrists have to be sociopathic is I have to be able to sit with someone who's suicidal and hopeless and depressed and not absorb that.

I have to put up a wall of empathy.

And I can turn it on and off like a valve.

So I've trained myself to like be more empathic.

Having kids was a big part of that.

So it's not that I'm evil.

But sociopathy is really common, like a surgeon has to cut into another human being and not feel bad about it.

Right.

Which sounds kind of weird, but like makes sense.

So there are absolutely these kinds of traits where if you kind of think about like.

You know, like having to fire people, if you can't fire people effectively.

then it's really hard to run a successful business.

So being able to fire someone, and it's not even that firing someone is like evil.

People may perceive it that way, especially if they're the ones getting fired.

It's a necessity for a successful business, right?

And so there are a lot of those traits that I think we see that lead to success.

And this is also where you have to be broken in the right way.

There are some very narcissistic people who are very, very successful.

I think the tricky thing is that even though you can take this subset of people who are really successful and they test highly in, let's say, narcissism or sociopathy, this is where we got to be careful.

There's another question you can ask, and this is a bit technical, but
