I honestly pity you if you think having principles is a psychological trap.

Of course, the complete lack of inhibition that affords, is exactly what can make psychopaths so compelling.

      Principles and morality are not the same thing, so no, incorrect. I could have completely amoral principles. Morals are grounded in social consensus, principles are not.

      Spend less time trying to be right and more time learning.

      Of course, a complete lack of self awareness is also a common principle-free, sociopathic trait.
