Aaron, your list always contains hits for me. Too many hits to follow up on. But the Psychopath study from last week was well worth the long read. Two types of psychopaths? That makes more sense than the old paradigm. It may also explain why civilians can go off to war, become calloused and unemotional, and then come back to civilian life relatively (not always completely) stable. Thanks.
