A desire for a loud car in a man is linked to sadism and psychopathy, study finds.

Past psychological claims to attention-seeking behaviour fell unverified. The point was only to annoy other people, to cause uncomfort in them.

As we’ve been seeing elsewhere so much these days: Cruelty is the point.

Perhaps we invented attention-seeking to distract ourselves from noticing how much we promote and love these people? 🤔

What about Harleys?

@MarkRDavid Depends on who you ask. Classical biker gangs used to ride Harleys and tended criminal. But now I think it’s not as clear-cut.

It’s worth mentioning also, that many cultures do tend to associate sadism, dominance & psychopathy with leadership. An evolved reverse-psychological trait perhaps, taking advantage of the deeper instinct of submission out of fear.
