Their fearlessness allows them to make decisions without hesitation from "summary" of The Wisdom of Psychopaths by Kevin Dutton
When it comes to decision-making, fear can be a crippling factor. It can cloud our judgment, cause hesitation, and ultimately lead to inaction. However, for psychopaths, fear is a foreign concept. Their brains are wired in such a way that fear responses are blunted, allowing them to make decisions without the burden of hesitation. This fearlessness gives them a distinct advantage in situations where quick decisions need to be made, such as in high-stress environments or during moments of danger. Without the fear holding them back, psychopaths are able to act swiftly and decisively. They are not weighed down by concerns about potential consequences or second-guessing themselves. This allows them to make decisions with a clarity and confidence that is often lacking in others. Their fearlessness gives them a sense of freedom in decision-making, unencumbered by the doubts and uncertainties that plague many people. In many ways, this fearlessness can be seen as a form of strength. It allows psychopaths to take risks that others might shy away from, and to navigate uncertain or dangerous situations with a sense of calm and composure. While this lack of fear can sometimes lead them down dark paths, it can also be a source of power and resilience when channeled in the right direction.- The fearlessness of psychopaths when it comes to decision-making is a double-edged sword. It can be both a blessing and a curse, depending on how it is used. But there is no denying that their ability to make decisions without hesitation sets them apart from others, giving them a unique advantage in certain situations.
