Is Viewing Life as a Game Psychopathic? (8 min clip)

Great artists like Andy Kaufman often view life as a game, and the people around them as mere characters. Does this perspective lead to great creativity—or to psychopathy?

In this clip, the team compares artistic license, Eastern philosophy, and psychopathy, finding some surprising connections between the three:

Does Buddhist equanimity have anything in common with psychopathic calm?
Does artistic license lead to psychopathic justifications?
And can seeing other people as characters rather than people lead us to treat them poorly?

Or are these all entirely different phenomena?
