"Bit of a disclaimer — I am not a psychopath..."

Ah-Hah! In today's world, if you have to say you're not a psychopath, you're a psychopath.

Damn, and when I saw Dark Triad I thought we had become all-powerful - "Use the power of the Demand Curve, Skywalker."

But seriously, what I found most funny, was this trait about us economists, er, psychopaths - "carrying a superficial charm...". Maybe that will put to rest the old cliche - that "economists are like accountants, except with less personality".
