I find the thought processes interesting.

Psychopaths don't have to be immoral. They have free will like everyone else.

Sure, they have free will, but morality means nothing to them. They haven't been given the equipment to care about it. This is what I find odd from a "design" perspective.

I've read a bit about how it does make some sense from an evolutionary perspective, as sometimes situations call for pure pragmatism.
Feel free to send me a private message.
