Hmph. If you're emotionally numb, you can't feel happy about manga! And then what's the point, hmmm?
Damn right!
I pity people who can't feel good or bad about things.

Well, sociopathy implies mental instability. Mental instability is quite common in great artists. Contemporary (young) artists who are highly respected score with chicks and get mad respect. Therefore, we can follow this train of tard logic to conclude that sociopaths get chicks and mad respect.
Word.
A lot of sociopaths are extremely stable in their sociopathy. Look at someone like Mengele. Sociopathy isn't anger or rage or hatred - it is a cold, unfeeling, nihilism where emotions, compassion and empathy are seen as weakness.
Ironically, this makes sociopaths rather contemptibly weak. In their own way, they're remarkably vulnerable, as, in the place of human emotions, all they have left is gratification and the id/ego. And given the average sociopath has a lower social cognition than the average person, this also makes them peculiarly vulnerable to manipulation.
Psychopaths, on the other hand, tend to stem from people who possess emotions, but also possess the capacity to completely overrule them. While they do possess a functioning moral centre and emotional capacity, they can, quite literally, shut them off. This tends to lead to a much higher social cognition than a sociopath, a problem also exacerbated by the fact most psychopaths tend to be frighteningly intelligent.
In essence, the two are, in essence, the same disease, but if you had to ask me which was more dangerous, I'd go with the psychopath. A sociopath is, basically, a freak of nature, a mental amputee, disabled and lashing out at the world. A psychopath is, in essence, much the same, but with the intelligence to never get caught.
