I suppose if you wish to believe that a fact cannot be disputed, that is your prerogative. You need to remember though that humans are not infallible, and we are the ones who decide what is "fact" and what is not. That is why even in science nothing is ever said to be proven with absolute certainty. The way I see it, everything is in a constant state of flux, going from one form to another. Along with that, our perceptions change as we get older and our experiences multiply.
I am sure that in your own life you might have considered something to be a fact for you that later had to be revised because you became more enlightened about the situation. It is a fact that you now weigh a certain number of pounds, and that your hair is a certain length, and that your face may be free of wrinkles, but with every moment that passes, those so called facts are continually getting revised.
Impermanence is a fact of life, strange as that may sound. Even with that though, I cannot be so sure. But it's all I have to go on, mainly because my experience tells me so.
It seems like it is hard for you to accept the fact that this forum is shared by people who has agreed to agree on some basic premises, including the view on psycopaths. This is an axiom behind the worldview that is expressed in different ways on this forum. If we were to accept that psycopaths are misguided instead of on an different evolutionary path, much of the other reasoning behind the thoughts discussed here becomes incoherent.
You have had ample time to understand the view expressed here, but choose to see it another way. Are there still insights to be gained from repeating the differing views?
