I think it's fair to say the Coreys really do admire 'sociopaths'. When they're baddies they're presented as these near supernatural apex predators who control everyone around them (Marco, arguably Great Man Duarte). When they're goodies like Amos they're Buddha in a cave. It's just humans reaching for an emotional explanation for why bad people can do upsetting things and get away with it and aren't we all just monkeys after all?? All this for a medical condition that I understand is no longer believed to exist outside a general lack of empathy spectrum?

A way to make game theory even more psychotic than it already is! Have you considered a career with the CIA?

Fundamentally IMO there's nothing interesting about Laconia. The Coreys' fascination with great man history and psychopathy as a superpower has metastasised into What If Protomolecule Makes the Trains Run on Time.

Isn't Laconia just, like, monkeys, defending their tribe

quote:However, I think the dark side of that ability is the common thread of how unrelentingly... Well, it's not even dour, is it? Mundane, tedious, ho-hum, beige. I think this is actually really core to the books' (unintended?) philosophy, and is why I came to dislike them so much more returning to them years later. But will let the series wrap up first! Does anyone ever, at any point in the books, think of space as beautiful? Or Earth, or any of the colony worlds? Hell, is there even any sense that anything was lost when Earth was glassed in the sense of its history, natural beauty or culture, instead of just 'billions dead - that's a million times worse than a hundred million!!'
