“Is your search for stories aimed at truth or fiction today?” A prisonerasked while his shackles were being locked to the prison psychiatrist’sinterviewing couch.“I seek truth,” the doctor said while watching the guard leave, “but allyou seem to offer is your fiction. I’m hoping today might be differentthough.”“You should call the guard back because my truth will still be true butas it doesn’t mesh with the crap a university crammed into your skull,you’ll again see it as fiction and your search for stories will beunsatisfied.”“That ‘crap’, as you refer to it, has been developed after years of clinical studies and an exhaustive search for stories, and by some of the world’s brightest minds.”“Is an externally rendered depiction of a psychopathic mind set, asoffered by a genius, more intrinsically accurate than a psychopath, of above average intelligence, telling of the inner workings of his ownmind?”“The phrase ‘clinical studies’ implies that psychopaths were indeedinterviewed in an attempt to find how to make the world better.”“Yet another psychopath would interpret what was said differently thana shrink does, just as you routinely refuse to hear any truth I say asanything but fiction. I suppose that if you can manage to somehowcram your misunderstood conception of my mind into one of yourutterly false but university accepted but boxes, then you’ll publish yourown ‘clinical case studies’ of me and proclaim your brilliance.”“Perhaps you could employ the time of your multiple life sentences anddangerous offender status to take correspondence courses toward adegree in psychiatry. Then you’ll have the accreditation to write yourown views.” The psychiatrist settled his ample butt into his swiveling
 
and reclining chair. “Your raw intellect is as strong as many of thestudents I graduated with.”“I couldn’t pass the exams to gain a degree.” The convicted killer saidflatly. “My answers to questions would differ from those the professorsbelieve are correct.”“Give me an example one.”“According to a recent article I’ve read, ‘sociopaths adopt a particularbelief system based on a logic of their own and they seldom have anydoubts’. My participant’s knowledge of this belief set and this logicputs my opinions into the psychopath’s condition into conflict with theperson grading my paper and because I don’t suffer any doubts, I’munlikely to insert the wrong answer, just to get the question right.”“Can you tell me how your beliefs and logic differ from mine?”“Certainly,” the sociopath smiled enigmatically, “but afterwards, I’llhave to kill you.”“I watched the guard secure your chains,” the psychiatrist chuckled:likelihood of his being harmed was remote, to the point of fictional, “soI’ll take my chances.”“A psychopaths logic differs from yours in that his is true and yours isbullshit. He is without doubts because Aristotle’s logic only allowstruth with no other option. The Sophist diatribe that you accept aslogic is always false because it’s rooted on untrue base precepts andthis waffling version of reasoning allows either yes or no to seem astruth or fiction, depending on which you want to result. Consequently,you’ll never achieve the level of certainty that a sociopath has.”“One that allows you to make arbitrary life or death decisions for yourvictims.”“Indubitably.”“I’m not trained in law, so I’ll leave the discussion on logic, to focus onyour beliefs.”“Or to put it more succinctly, you’ll ignore a vital portion of apsychopath’s mental makeup due to your unwillingness to allow yourmind to become unfettered, or as you might view it, ‘unhinged’.”“If learning to understand your logic would make me willing to murdera fellow human being, then yes, I’ll prefer not delving deeply into it.”“A psychopath’s logic is the elusive key to how to make the world abetter place and were you to dare examining it objectively, you could
