Most psychopaths are well functioning people. Most psychopaths with below average IQs aren't.
'Dumb' crazy isn't very interesting, more comical and sad to watch somebody with low intellect attempt to make sense of the world and contribute to it.

Intelligent psychopaths/sociopaths are very interesting, brilliant ones are fascinating and scary.

The real 'crazy', people who live in a very different reality than the rest of us, only interest me from a neurological point of view. Their wiring is all off, I don't believe schizophrenia has much to do or anything to do with how somebody was raised - though haven't done any reading on it so have no idea what experts say today about the disorder.

Sad that there are 8 billion neurons in the brain, most unmapped, and we have doctors pretending to understand all these psychiatric disorders. We have barely scratched the surface of a decent understanding of the brain.
