Bart:
     Smiley is probably a more typical sociopath than Morty. Not only 
does he have no qualms against the harm he does, he does not understand 
why people would take exception to it, although he is intellectually 
aware that people do. Unlike Morty, he does not seem to think too far 
ahead or stick to a plan (otherwise, he would never have taken the 
Hogwarts teaching position), which, once again is more typical for a 
sociopath.
