American Journal of Bioethics, 2024

When used clinically, psychedelics may appear unusual or even unique when compared to many more familiar or long-standing medical interventions, prompting some to suggest that the ethical issues raised may likewise be exceptional. If that is correct, then perhaps psychedelics should be treated differently from other substances used within medicine: for example, by being subjected to different ethical or evidentiary standards. Alternatively, it may be that psychedelics have more in common with various existing medical interventions than first meets the eye. We argue in favor of the latter position, drawing on parallels from earlier debates around genetic exceptionalism in bioethics. We suggest there are risks to adopting a stance of "psychedelic ethical exceptionalism," and propose that consistent ethical rules and evidentiary standards should be applied across all relevant areas of clinical medicine. Importantly, this does not preclude the possibility that changes to existing standards should be made; but if so, this should not be justified by appealing to the alleged uniqueness of psychedelics.

Louis XIV était un roi amateur d’art. Ses préférences allaient à l’architecture, à la danse et à l’art des jardins, mais il était loin de se désintéresser de la peinture.

Personality and Individual Differences, 2012

The Dirty Dozen measure of the Dark Triad (i.e., narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism) has not been assessed in relation to the HEXACO model of personality despite evidence that the latter might provide better detail about the Dark Triad traits than the Five Factor Model. In this study (N = 544), we present the first attempt to correlate the Dirty Dozen subscales with a HEXACO measure. Consistent with previous research on the Dark Triad, the Honesty/Humility factor was more strongly correlated with the Dirty Dozen subscales at the zero-order level than was the Agreeableness factor but the association with psychopathy was stronger for Agreeableness when we controlled for shared variance in the Dark Triad. In addition, we explored how the Dirty Dozen relates to different facets of the HEXACO model, affirming its utility in that despite the relatively high correlations among the traits and the limited content breadth, it still taps a range of personality traits.
