As @keksmex mentions, found the sociopath. So are you?
Do you realize that people who are more "human" have an inate requirement for other people around them to be human. The fact that you are productive doesn't mean you aren't a major psychological risk to everyone around you just for existing. Most people would prefer those curtains not be opened.
Do you truly believe all sociopaths are incapable of posing as perfectly normal, likeable people? Do you truly believe even a slight majority of them are incapable of that?
Look at the most infamous serial killers (not mass shooters, not spree killers, serial killers). How many of them were declared as sociopaths or psychopaths, and how many of them were described by their friends, family, and neighbors as totally normal, even friendly, or pillars of their communities?
Why wouldn't a sociopath be just as capable as any normal person of deciding not to do evil?
No, I believe they can but there is the potencial for someone to see through their cracks and the mear revalation that there are people for whom humanity itself is entirely foriegn may cause serious damage.
Why wouldn't a sociopath be just as capable as any normal person of deciding not to do evil? Because they don't understand the relevence. Some of it, beside the directly communicated like don't kill, is over their head.
