Cool take. The upside to psychopathy is a lack of neurotic concern. (That's also the downside I guess.) Pleasure is basically always a relief from something -- an itch being scratched, a weight being put down. Caring is burdensome. Strategic apathy can be freeing. Just don't go too far and lose *all* your neurotic concern ;)

Amos & Boris is my most favorite picture book. The beauty of the language, the quiet friendship, and yet the real "how will this be fixed???" brilliant plot, are such genius, all of it. I read it when I want to remember the high art that picture books can be.
