    I am confused, why would one without the need for, or at least, without an understanding of any morals - as you seem to suggest, by a lack of conscience, our register of such (and I must admit, presently my own understanding of the sociopathic psyche is lacking, so I will take your word for it)- have any reason to improve upon what he does not have, save through some survival instinct leading them through the path of least resistence?

    I assume your next question then to be, if a need for a moral idol applies only to certain members of our race, why does it apply at all? I answer that because a sociopath will not always be such, such a life being one step in a continuous journey, a progressive evolution, with virtue, as rastilin states, as being the *overall* beneficial course of action, created from our past experience, and I add to this, depending on our future experiences, and the requirements thus.

    Why must we change our beliefs to learn?
