Sociopathic thinking is very quick and efficient, not going through as many parts of the brain, like the conscience, but more like the strike of a predator.
Reminds me of the time almost 15 years ago when one of our section heads gathered all staff together to present one of our worse managers with a meritorious service award, with these inspiring words: "Without managers like this all of you would be nothing." Had a great effect on morale.
