Wait a sec, there are three different claims that have seemed to gotten confused in this thread.
Psychopaths don’t have a moral sense as we’d recognize it.
Psychopaths have a different moral sense than most people.
Psychopaths have pretty much the same moral sense as us, but it doesn’t drive them nearly as much as most people.
The difference in the above is between the absense of a moral push, a moral push in a different direction, or a push in the same direction but feebler than is felt by most people.
And I think distinguishing between the three is probably significant in discussions about CEV...
I think that knowing what people mean by “right” and actually having it as a terminal value are different things, but I’m not sure if 3 means regular garden-variety akrasia or simply terminal values with different weighing to our own.
