They just put him in a police car...he wasn't smiling!

14. Not feeling empathy or remorse don't mean they don't feel pleasure. They are playing a game.

Games have winners and losers, always. There is no reason to feel remorse, but rather feel proud of themselves. If using someone and causing them pain feels good to them, they win. If they away with it, they win again.

Saying they are incapable of feeling empathy or remorse does not discount the reason they did it to begin with. They enjoy what they do. This is the mistake many people make dealing with such characters. They will never find anything wrong that give them pleasure

People who do these things don't stop because they have no shame about it. It's all good to them, really it is. Until they get caught, then they are sorry. For being denied their pleasures, not what they did.

I'm not sure if we are talking about the same thing. Because our context is not theirs, but they rely on our believing they have the same values and emotional reactions non-predators do. It gives them more pleasure and pride in their cleverness to think they have fooled people.
