Is psychopathy an advantage in fighting?

Psychopathy is an advantage in all of life i believe.
 
it's like with anything.... do what ever is possible to get the desired result. If you can completely block out or don't have emotion... it makes you react properly instead of letting your emotions get in the way. Being a fighter, your goal is to win.... it's a lot more beneficial to do that without your emotions getting in the way, winning by any means necessary. The same applies with any goal.

Is Indy a psychopath?
I mean the guy with the sword just put on a little show, didn't even attack and even if, Indy could have fought him with the whip...

Pretty sure he was just tired at that point and no one puts on a show like that without wanting to fight. A whip against a sword?
The sword pretty much always wins just has to put up with a ton of pain on the way.
 
I don't think Jon Jones is a psychopath. I'm pretty sure at least 25% of the roster was on gear before usada,

I can think of a few exceptions to this:

One case is that their psychopathic behavior earns so much money that people are willing to overlook their being hard to work with.

A second case is if the psychopath succeeds at cynically convincing those around them that they are in fact empath. But maybe time reveals all things? But maybe the system is such that those who realize it will always be marginalized by the psychopath by the time they realize it.

A third case is if the expectations in the environment are so low that no empathic collaboration is possible, so empathy confers no advantages. Think prison, or maybe a really terrible work place.

My father's a psychologist and one of the things he does is help companies deal with managers who are psychopaths. Psychopaths have some advantages in the short term (they are willing to take risks and the smart ones can be very manipulative), however in the longer terms their weaknesses tend to become truly destructive (they tend to be impulsive and have a hard time sticking to long term plans, they create fear and loathing in their coworkers). They are like the soccer manager, Jose Mourinho: initial succes inevitably followed by collapse in less than three years. Of course, I am generalising and simplifying here.

It would absolutely be an advantage.

People are misinformed about psychopaths. They associate that label with killers and murderers. It's not so. There are plenty of psychopaths that lead normal and successful lives.

In fact most people that are successful in high-level business are clinical psychopaths. They feel no remorse for fucking people over and ruining others lives on their way to the top.

It's interesting. I wonder why impulsiveness is associated with psychopathy?
 
I remember an article where a psychologist was shown stare downs and asked about them. His answer about Fedor was like: the moment he lifts his head and looks at his opponent in the other corner , he looks right through them. And it's that moment they go "oh shit!" because he completely dehumanizes and depersonalizes them in that very instance.

Ive read about this also. His gaze pierces the opponent as if it doesnt even recognize there is an other human person infront of him

I always argue with family members about this. I tell them the only way to get really rich is fuck people over and run them down on the way to the top.

I feel it's not pretty but it's true.
Case and point no one in my family is extremely wealthy. Upper middle class at best.
