According to the DSM-5, individuals with ASPD (edit: anti social personality disorder) exhibit a pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others, occurring since age 15 years. This pattern is manifested by at least three of seven specific behaviors, including failure to conform to social norms, deceitfulness, impulsivity, irritability and aggressiveness, reckless disregard for safety, consistent irresponsibility, and lack of remorse.
Added explanation, good point (should be there) and thanks 👍
ASPD, is that Advertising/Sales Personality Disorder?
Here’s what my glaring personality disorder taught me about B2B sales.
Was it don’t try to sell to people at Walmart we’ll straight up shit your pants
For those that don’t know, ASPD = Anti Social Personality Disorder. Symptoms of ASPD can surface before age 15.
Bingo.
My pet theory after observing friends and acquaintances growing up into adults (and hearing them speak on the subject) is that such behaviour can coincide with seriously considering suicide, but not going through with it (or failing). This can give a huge rush and sense of renewal, a new life where you don’t have to care about others anymore and are no longer bound by morals. Similar to how I’ve heard incel acquaintances describe being “black pilled”.

Just read the sections on Sociopaths and Psychopaths. They describe your average marketing department.
C suite also
There was a study, years ago, where they found that socio/psychopaths made up like 30% of all C-Suite employees. In the larger population, they make up less than 2%, and that’s including all partial diagnoses. Add onto that the fact that most upper-level staff at any major firm these days are dipshit Business Idiots who know fuck all about jack shit, and you get the modern irrational economy.
The presence of narcissism and sociopathy in the C-suite is due to selection bias, specifically for people with “bold” personality traits.

When you layer masking on top of that, you get a skilled individual that can navigate a lot of business situations. This all happens because they’re incredibly useful traits for making money, above all else. Ethics be damned.
How do I turn my disorder into cash money?
I think you have to go to the NSFW websites for that
Disability payments.

A disorder must either somehow negatively impact your activities of daily living like your job or staying out of prison, or causes significant distress. If you’re explicitly making tons of legal money off your delusions, it’s not a disorder.
so successful sociopaths and narcissists don’t have a disorder?
i don’t think that’s quite right.
He is half right but he forgot the “or negatively impact others’ lives” half.
A narc doesn’t care about others. Its their disorder.
When it comes to the DSM-V, that’s how it works. You must have a functional impairment.
there’s nothing about negatively affecting others lives?
Only if it makes you unable to develop stable relationships. DSM doesn’t pathologize being an asshole. That’s normal human functioning.
So you’re saying it’s not a disorder until we make it one wiyh violence?
Primarily what I was saying is we should avoid thinking material conditions that create rational bad actors are pathologies or moral failings.
This definition denies the existence of the functional disabled.

Alas I am poor so no wallet voting applies.
Actually it does. The reason for you not buying it doesn’t matter. They wasted their advertisement dollars on you, because you’re not buying it anyway.
If advertising to you didn’t work then advertisers wouldn’t be doing it.
As a young adult man, seeing an ad for diapers designed for elderly women doesn’t entice me to buy them. I’m also not buying a new car after seeing every ad for a car. I know of Liberty Mutual by way of their advertisements but I’m not in the market for buying an emu so they won’t get my business.
Why did we suddenly change from “thinking that advertising is fine is absolutely a mental illness” to “advertisers can successfully cause tons of damage”?
I don’t see a lot of reasons for such a shift away from the point.
Advertising does not work equally well on everyone. It’s literally a numbers game.

Surely it won’t be too much to upgrade to the latest patch, since I already bought the last full version?
Contact your vendor/provider’s latest TOS for clarification.
