    Calling someone a sociopath is an action that ought to be kind. It ought to engender sympathy and a desire to help. I don’t want you to be kind to Bill Gates. He sucks, he doesn’t deserve your kindness. Sociopath is Greek for “socially ill person”. Bill Gates doesn’t struggle with navigating society, he controls much of society. He’s the opposite of socially ill. He inflicts social illness on other people. I want you to save the word sociopath for nice people who deserve kindness and sympathy. Bill Gates is an asshole.
