I don't think he should've used the word sociopath. It already has a popularly accepted definition, and the concept that he's trying to represent doesn't fit well with it. If you want to read about real sociopaths, go somewhere else.
But let’s step back here. I am using the word in its
everyday, loosely overloaded sense. As in, you telling
your friend, “you are such a !@##$ sociopath.” I want to
stick to the term for two good reasons. One: Hugh
Macleod’s original cartoon which inspired this series is
too good to give up. Second, distrust of communities and
groups, and a stubborn individualism, are the main
personality characteristics here (and this position is
not original to me; it is derived from William Whyte).
Words like “player” or “enlightened” (two suggested
alternatives) don’t cut it.
