In this podcast episode we converse about the simulated affect and emotions of a psychopath, (sociopath, a monster). We begin to explore how these deceptions draw us into an entanglement with the monster. We look at how the ersatz emotional expression of a monster conflicts with our belief in the basic goodness of human beings. We speak of psychological and literal entrapment, punishments, and damage inflicted on us by the monster. We explore how the monster’s psychologically-coopted allies, dismiss us when we attempt to convey desperation regarding the danger and captivity we are facing.See more motes on www.monstrstoriespodcast.com
