if you want to waste a day or two, try to find an eminent mathematician or physicist who had NPD or ASPD. as far as i can tell, i haven’t been able to find any successful ones who had either disorder.
as far as the research goes, ASPD is correlated with significantly lower non-verbal intelligence. and in one study i found, NPD wasn’t really correlated with any parts of intelligence except with lower non-verbal intelligence.
which can lead to the idea that everbody starts out aligned, and then when those with less cognitive reserve are confronted with trauma, more serious misalignment/personality disorders can arise.
even if you look at kids with ASPD who try to murder their siblings when they’re two, most of the time it’s a younger sibling. which can be explained by the kid being jealous that they get less attention than their younger sibling. which can be entirely explained by a lower (emotional) pain tolerance.
contra the orthogonality thesis.
