Got this comic book for $1

Neuroticism an odd one out.. it can signal care very strongly.. and attract sharks in a toxic environment.. (Gotham)

(Eg it's now taboo to ask female service staff, indeed any female, to smile)

..Joker was kinda playing a positive-sum move

Joker always seemed to be motivated by solidarity with other criminals and antipathy to law enforcement than actual economic gain. Strikes me a bit as Gygax's version of evil.
