The new site looks amazeballs! (my attempt at saying what I really feel). Your posts have made me a better man if in no other way then by the mere fact that I drink more water nowadays. For a while I delved into the psychology of true sociopaths (after an encounter with one), and there were some positive things I picked up from that. Firstly, I learnt that sociopaths pay more attention to others than normal people. They are better listeners and much more attentive to things like body language etc. I also learnt that a lor of us normal people hide our sociopathic tendencies behind moral facades. Think of the football fans who end up hurting each other after a match in support of their team, or a cop who goes too far to catch a criminal. That made me aware of my own tendencies to do this. Another thing I learnt is that sociopaths are more creative in thinking up solutions to problems because they have a wider range of possible actions. I think this is what ties in with your post. There was a story in Kevin Dutton's book 'The Wisdom of Psychopaths' about a landlord who was having trouble evicting a tenant, and Kevin asked some psychopaths what they would do in that scenario. Long story short their solutions seemed more likely to work. I think normal people can benefit from leaning into their sociopathic sides to some extent.
Haha thank you. Appreciate the feedback and the support.
Great post, thank you for sharing. Honestly this is worth an essay all its own, you should write one. Or maybe someday soon I will, because that's an endlessly fascinating topic.

Cheers man
thanks, I might. I'm lining my ducks up for a quant blog, but I intend to make it more than just another number-crunching blog. Cheers!
Great post! I look so forward to your posts! I will be sad if they are less frequent. Keep writing. You have a gift!
