Hmm... this is fascinating stuff. Thanks for posting that!
That's a really interesting spin on things. Compelled to do the greater good.
I suppose it makes sense. If you have sociopaths on one end of the curve, naturally there has to be something like this on the other end!
Maybe make this into a comparison with our own characters? What characters do we have that are like this? Or on the sociopathic end? Or somewhere in the middle?
What's even more interesting is that it seems, at least to a limited extent, it's possible for a sociopath to do "good" if he sees it as benefiting him.
