Nice find The thought of psychopathy not being a mental illness is interesting. Especially since I'm studying mental disorders at the moment. I don't truly agree with the article though - I don't think hurting people (in many forms) is "functioning well in society". I do like the notion that they should be held more responsible for their crimes though, heh.

Moriarty definitely seems like a psychopath to me.

I know we're not given much, but if anyone has speculated on John's life enough to produce some kind of chronology (if he was born in 1971, like Martin Freeman, when would he have been at various places in his education? How long could he have possibly been in Afghanistan?) it would be much better than anything I am likely to come up with. I'll credit you in my fanfiction, you lucky devil, you.
