“The lie is that there’s naturals and born geniuses.” Totally agree with this. However, I think you’re wrong to characterize successful people as “sociopaths”. That would imply they have nothing but indifference or ill will to other people and that’s not necessarily true. They may have to cut back on casual socializing but that’s not the same thing.
I was being a little sensational with the “sociopath” term and was applying it more so to the entertainment industry. So, I agree with you there. We skipped around a lot on this show so I don’t think I got to make my whole point on this topic, maybe we’ll revisit it in the future.
