Story summary

Here is a summary of the news story:

Abigail Marsh, a professor at Georgetown University's Department of Psychology and Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Program, has been discussing psychopathy in an interview with Yascha Mounk.
The conversation, which was recorded for a podcast called "Persuasion", explores what to do if a child you know might be psychopathic, whether psychopathy is linked to charisma and success, and how to protect yourself.
According to Marsh, a common trait of children who may develop psychopathic tendencies is a fearless personality, which can manifest in behaviors such as not being afraid of things that other kids are scared of, like big dogs or high places.
The interview was part of a series of events hosted by "Persuasion" and its partner publication "American Purpose", including an upcoming event on Sunday, September 6 at the Abbey Centre in London, where Mounk will be interviewing Francis Fukuyama.
