he said "i am a nihilist".
to me, the one who believes in values is an optimistically demented delusional fanatic who sees himself as something like a god.
a sociopath is just a person with a neurological configuration that puts him in the minority position relative to the average neurological configuration of the rest of us. therefore we interpret what he does as a divergence from our average.
if the majority were born with the sociopaths brain, it would be the minority with our brain that were treated as freaks.
now, why on earth do we all seem to think that if we dont "put" values on things we lose any kind of moral dimension? its bizarre.

he didnt see himself as some sort of romantic decrying the destruction of a prior state of goodness by an inhuman economic system. he simply bore witness, and wasnt fooled that the system was crushing some sort of brilliant goodness that lurked underneath it and inside of us
