They could get me to not do things, like leave abruptly or not talk to this person or take that thing. If they asked me to do anything actively, I wouldn't do it. Not really because I think its good or bad, but because I'm lazy.
Also, I've thought about that Milgram experiment quite a bit. Its the basis of that "Banality of Evil" concept, and while I rejected it initially, I am now a firm believer in that method of analysis. Moral skepticism/relativism seems to make the most sense.

I always find it interesting to find out why some people refuse to do things, in your case it's quite a simple one :P But one interesting thing I tend to see is that people with strong religious/moral beliefs are the hardest to turn into things like this. Conversely, as you get towards the more extreme/strong end of religious beliefs you tend to see a lot more blind acceptance of authority so it's not quite a black and white situation.

[quote] Moral skepticism/relativism[/quote] Descriptive, normative or meta-ethical? Given what I know about you, I'm going to go ahead and say it's meta-ethical and that nobody is objectively right or wrong.

Yeah, I don't think objective ethics exists. You know me...too well.

If you find a person with ASPD who thinks objective ethics exist, give me a call. Also: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expressivism]Expressivism[/url] rules all.
