    I think it's more complicated than being stupid and young.

    The brain of a Sociopath actually looks different in an MRI scan.

    • Grandpa had a heart attack and he was happy that he died because he was mean to him as a kid
    • Recorded his grandpa dying to promote his YouTube channel
    • Bypassed every stage in the grieving process
    • He was "Dragged to his grandpas funeral thing"
    • Narcissistic; strives for attention
    • Repetitive, intense focus on certain subjects (veganism)

    I don't think he's a sociopath. He's striving to be the Rush of youtube though. Taking controversial stances on thing to garner the most vocal followers. It's a valid strategy to someone who's goal is to be popular.

    What???? He is a clear sociopath.

    Sociopathy is not an all or none concept. One individual can possess a few of the traits, while another can possess each and every one of them. However, this kid hits the mark on the majority of these traits.

    1. Charisma and charm; intense eye contact
    2. Craves power, fame, and recognition
    3. Can have short tempers
    4. Often loners with extreme self-centeredness
    5. Master manipulators; Lies and gaps in their story
    6. Blames other for everything
    7. Seek to dominate others and "win" at all costs
    8. Delusional and literally believe that what they say becomes truth
    9. Pity play-painting a pitiful picture of one’s life
    10. Jekyll and Hyde personality – this pertains to the mask of kindness coming off
    11. Lack of remorse for wrongdoing; defective conscience; seems to take pleasure in the suffering of others
    12. Drinks or uses drugs to "feel" something
    13. Irritability and aggressiveness, up to and including sadistic cruelty
    14. Invent outrageous lies about their experiences
    15. They are never wrong, never feel guilt, never apologize. Even if shown proof that they were wrong, they will refuse to apologize and instead go on the attack.

    I think people take the term sociopath too lightly these days. Just because someone is an asshat doesn't mean they're a sociopath. Sociopaths actually have a legitimate mental disorder that prevents them from experiencing emotion and empathy the same way that normal people do.

    MRI's of sociopaths TEND to look different. It isn't a way of diagnosing someone.
    It will generally utterly fail at prediction because organic features alone won't guarantee an expression of those features in the same way.

    Not that I am a psychologist, but for my job I have to constantly assess a person to find out what motivates them(to get our goals in physical therapy). Honestly I could never be a psychologist because people are
    constantly telling me their traumatic lives-often pain involves a person's amount of stress and how they handle it. These stories are the worst things you can imagine(incest, suicidal parents etc) Bottom line. We are all broken in some way because this is one f*cked up world. So let's all be as nice as we can be to each other. Usually people have their reasons for being the way they are. Not that it is a excuse for bad behaviour-just another way of looking at people.
