Comment on Having the ability to lie and manipulate with no remorse will get you much further in this world than having morals and being correct

  Is there any reason why you downvoted my other comments?

  You can learn a lot of valuable skills by being a caregiver to someone like this, although they will try to pull you into their cynical worldview. This is a simplistic, and distorted view of the world that aligns with how psychopaths and narcissists experience the world, however, isn’t useful nor realistic.

  They both have a splitting mechanism where people are split into an all good and an all bad object, and struggle to integrate these two objects into an integrated object that accurately represents the person. The psychopath can’t create complete objects, and so splits the person into good in the form of utility, and bad in the form of impediment to their goals… Cynicism is assuming everyone’s true self is the bad object because they feel it’s safer to assume the worst in someone than assume the best.
