In a lot of interviews with these people they mention about how others are 'weak' or 'bound by social rules' or something along those lines, and flaunting these taboos is what make them feel special or 'superior' because their minds are free. It's always some variation of that. They know the social contract is there and they actively violate it. I've met plenty of people in real life that think like this (criminals), they think people are suckers, fools, or sheep and they deserve to be exploited.
I was friends with a psychopath for a long time (ended the friendship when I finally admitted to myself what he was).
This definitely matches how he saw himself. Big time self identity as having transcended the social contract. But also, not in any way ignorant of the social contract. Understands it better than most people actually, made a serious study of history, philosophy, and sociology when he was still struggling with his own psychopathy.
He tried really hard to find a reason to be good.
A friend of his died in suspicious circumstances, and it matched an “idle thought”/what-if scenario he used to talk to me about. I suspect he killed that guy, and my gut tells me he hasn’t stopped.
Hopefully you've tipped off the cops
He’s extremely powerful, and I have nothing to back it up with.
I honestly hadn’t considered it, and I will do that consideration seriously.
If you're serious and you really think that my be the case, might want to contact the detective on the case or try to get one opened.
Right, to them there is no social contract. They recognize us normal people have & adhere to a social contract, but for them the social contract is like God to an atheist. Nonexistent, fabricated, an illusion, a delusion, etc.
I like that analogy
