Conversation Starters for Psychopaths

  • Please, just don’t say anything.
  • Is a scandal immoral, or merely inefficient?
  • How much of you is public property?
  • If you loved the previous me, why do I keep imposting myself?
  • When finally unnecessary, will you feel free or merely unused?
  • If there are only losers, why game?
  • Does possession begin at the moment of intention?
  • What have you lost you never knew you had?
  • If addressed in silence, to whom will you reply?
  • Is cruelty immoral, or merely unfashionable in the wrong context?
  • Does their comfort outweigh your clarity?
  • If you can carry it and they cannot stop you, whose is it?
  • Can you reposses a promise?
  • If the world is wired, does honesty imply treason or good manners?
  • Is refusal a kind of consent, if it depends on me ignoring it?
  • If I admit I am using you, can we proceed in honesty?
  • Why are all coincidences so well organized?
  • If I decline the fiction that you outrank me, does your badge evaporate or only your face?
  • I never lose, really really.
  • Let’s have sex, right now?
