Jennifer London sits down one-on-one with neuroscientist James Fallon, who studies what makes psychopaths tick and through his research discovers some dark truths about himself.
I'm intrigued by Dr. Fallon's work, but he uses the words killer and psychopath interchangeably at points which can make it sort of confusing. As not all killers are psychopaths and vice versa. Also, killer is a somewhat nebulous term to use is it not? I mean a guy who is irresponsible and kills someone because he's driving too fast is not the same as Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy. Wouldn't murderer be a better descriptor.
Anyway, great interview, interesting stuff. Cheers.
Funny how you on post part of this story. Self-serving? Dumbass.
