Well Fatrick could absolutely be a low to mid functioning psychopath.That's contested. Low functioning ones are pretty visible, thus probably overrepresented in studies. Juvenile offenders, petty crime, unstable jobs, violent relationships, in and out of prison a lot. High functioning ones usually stay out of jail and are just manipulative/exploitative users of other people.
There's also a confounder as there's some heritable stuff involved, but early childhood neglect and trauma can make some people into low functioning psychopaths too.
Our general consensus across the thread and I suspect among the pests is that he isn’t totally stupid and has a fairly reasonable vocabulary.
It’s clear he is way less intelligent, informed, or capable of reasoning, understanding and critical thought than he believes himself to be.
A problem with him is he does seem to think that people are generally less intelligent than he is, as evidenced by his easily disproven lies.
Being a firearms and self defense instructor for a start. While that is a common Internet tough guy claim, it is also something that requires some sort of registration.
Therefore he should either be able to produce documents on request or at least be searchable as a current or former instructor.
It doesn’t seem to occur to him that other people would be capable of scrutinizing this.
The cheating in the marathon, while that admittedly took someone with a bit of specific experience to really figure it out, it still wasn’t a top level expert in marathon adjudication.
Thick as shit people normally more or less understand that they are not as smart as smart people so don’t usually try elaborate claims like this.
So I think Patrick is cursed with a bit of intelligence, but not enough intelligence to realize he might not be a total fuckwit but isn’t a smart guy either.
Plus he totally would kill someone if he thought he could get away with it.
