I don’t agree with the use of the word “sociopathic”. It’s Greek for “socially ill” and has historically been associated with pseudoscientific stereotypes applied with people with antisocial personality disorder. Mental disorders are not bourgeois, they are proletarian. They are associated with hardship and trauma, not privilege.
Why would I read books by authors willing to use ableist slurs? Martha Stout and Paul Babiak sound like terrible people I want to hear nothing from. I’m already sure their opinions on mental disorders are worthless pseudoscientific garbage.
