A terrifying article in the Atlantic about what happens when children are hard-wired to be psychopaths. There’s hope throughout it – about how we are now finding ways to manage it – with fair commitment from the society (and the government). The terrifying thought that comes out, however, is that yes, there are people who are hard-wired to be horrible people, and there’s nothing they, or anyone else, can do to fix it. There is a way to manage it, minimizing the bad, maximizing the good, but that’s all we can hope for.

There goes my belief in inherent goodness of all people.

(looking for, and finding, L being capable of empathy is very hopeful though)
