Animals are distinguished by species on their physical aspects. Of course so are humans distinguished in animals in this way. But the real differentiating characteristic is between the brains of humans and animals. Sometimes I think that maybe humans can be differentiated into two species, normal people and psychopaths, on the basis of our different brains.

I know how this sounds and it could sure be the thin end of the wedge to real darkness. On the other hand, maybe many psychopaths already think this and we normal people haven't caught on.
