I have long considered how some people can undertake seemingly senseless harm, or selfless good, to other people. I have remarked that the way that people's brains work seem to differ in particular ways, such that our social behaviour can be divided into roughly three separate groups: psychopaths that seek power, slaves that seek to be led, and the rest of us.
This article by National Geographic discusses differences in how people perceive each other, and what may cause those differences. It's a full NatGeo article, so I'll let it speak for itself, and leave my comments on the matter to be elucidated by replies from ya'll.
It's difficult to ignore the import of behavioural science on politics, science, technology, and just about every aspect of human life. So don't.

Sorry I missed this one. Very interesting take on altruists, that they are the organic opposite of psychopaths. Also had to note that altruist good, psychopath baaaaad, when they both appear to be off the "normal" bell curve of brain function.
You’re article has inspired me to write a post of my own. As such, I’m linking my post back to yours. I want to see if back linking is superior to resteeming. I seldom read resteems, but I do read many of the posts of those I follow.
