Hmm. I am blinkered by my own world view (and I recently learned that I am not a neurotypical). If any claim cannot be expressed mathematically as well as being repeatedly supported by experimental evidence, then I call bullshit on the claim. Anybody tries to fire-hose me with claims gets told to cut the crap. I long ago dismissed Deepak Chopra as a spewer of nonsense.

Psychopaths are accomplished liars. They keep getting away with telling lies until the proverbial brown stuff hits the fan, which is why people were so willing to help in the first place, and why he is now at risk of being given a thorough kicking in the face and guts. I have studied one psychopath at first hand. He has extreme difficulty forming any sort of close personal bond with anybody else, and I gather from other sources that this is a common issue with psychopaths. @Triphid may be able to cast more light on this.
