#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

And you think...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

It costs a fraction.

What do we actually put into caring for people who have schizophrenia?

#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

So first, there's a moral imperative.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

But let's say we put that aside and we only care about the economy, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

Because there are mechanisms of thinking that look at it that way.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

How could we not amend that, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

But we are so reckless about...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

with our resources and we're tripping ahead of ourselves that we don't think, oh my goodness, there is no better place on God's earth for prevention than here, prevention in terms of human suffering and also where do people like that go?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

I mean, more often, people like that go to a place of increased suffering, inability to take care of themselves or to be in supportive relationships.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

Okay, we know there's a higher prevalence of that, but we're also creating the pool of people through which

the envy, the narcissism, the sociopathy, the destruction arises.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

So again, if we care about people, we would be so focused on that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

If we don't care about other people and just ourselves or just economic costs, we would still be so focused.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

But, you know, we're not and we tend to just kind of call it good because we don't see anything disastrous happening at the moment.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

And I think there's a societal negligence there to the shame really of all of us

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

when child abuse and the impact neurobiologically and psychologically is potentially the greatest cause of suffering directly and indirectly on the face of the planet.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

It can impact it a lot.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

And I want to say, can people overcome and be as loving to a partner or a child or anyone else?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

Yes.
