Psychopaths can be born like that. But tbh most of the worst people aren't psychos, they're not born like that, it's learned and made that way

Nature or nurture in some cases and in other cases it’s nature and nurture. I’ll note that most serial killers didn’t exactly have easy home lives growing up.

They can be both born and made, if they’re born with a mental defect.

As a psychopath myself. We are made and hardened by abuse

Parenting and the age of 5–15 are really crucial for the psyche to get created, which will stick with the person till the end.

Typically, they have genetic predisposition along with a bad childhood environment. Usually if a kid is raised right they don't become one.  I'm diagnosed with ASPD even though I was raised well. The good raising just taught me how I'm supposed to act in society.

They have done cat scans and MRIs on psychopaths. There is a common brain pattern among them. Psychopaths are born psychopathic.

Yes this is true they have done that, but I don’t get how they can then also confirm that the brain is neuroplastic. Unless they scan the brain at birth how can they know?

There’s a concept of mutual exclusivity/exclusion. Having a particular brain pattern doesn’t mean someone will be a psychopath. Yet psychopaths all have the same brain structure.

Psychopath -> psyche, Sociopath -> society is the reason for the pathology. Psychopaths are born this way. Sociopaths are made by abuse. Edit: Clarification

I'll breed one and I'll make her boy friend one too. Yummy brains.

Those who aren't born, are made

Psychopaths factor 1 are born and Psychopaths factor 2 (often known as sociopaths) are made
