Locked up in a sense or just have like a life of misery and cause harm to society. And yet what our studies have shown, and we've been following kids for over 16 years from the time they were 10 until now, they're 26. Actually, they're turning 27. And that's not the case. These are pretty successful individuals. They're successful because they have this blend of pro-social and anti-social.

They have, like I said, a lot of assets and competencies, so they don't get shunned. Like I've said, when it comes to the girl world, that being beautiful, you can get away with murder if you're attractive. And then on the boy side, there's a lot of things like if they're a good athlete and you're in a very athletic school, they can get away with murder.

There's evidence that they have better social skills. Their emotional intelligence is higher. I think that there probably is higher intelligence, just like a general intelligence, because to be able to manage and manipulate interpersonal relationships is quite complicated.
