Dr. Aiden Gregg is an associate professor at the psychology department of the University of Southampton, where he lectures and conducts research. Dr. Gregg has done a lot of thinking and research about psychopathy, sociopathy, anti-social personality disorder and related ideas.
In this section of the interview, Dr. Gregg further explains psychopathy, and his idea of “redrawing the lines” of psychopathy, sociopathy and anti-social personality disorder, in an idea he calls “the pococurante” – a person who doesn’t care about the truth, other people, the future, or even himself in the future. He also talks about the data from Dr. Kent Kiehl’s MRI experiments with psychopaths, how they might indicate an explanation under Freudian theory, with a lack of an ego to negotiate between the sensible and baser desires of a human.
