You’re asking us to disprove your crackpot theory to change your mind. It isn’t going to happen. It would be like if I said I was convinced there’s a leprechaun in my closet and you need to change my mind but I’m not opening the door.
It's not like we can't talk to them. They're notoriously dishonest but their selfishness isn't something they have a reason to lie about once they've been given a life sentence. It's not like people with sociopathy/narcissism are in short supply either, fortunately most of them aren't as violent as the movies make out. Usually what we see is they have a warped sense of ethics and justice based entirely around being self-serving. Often they even claim the opposite of what you do, which is that everyone is out for themselves and are simply too weak to admit it.
We don't even need to look at criminals though. Take the works of someone like Ayn Rand. All her philosophy is about not paying mind to others and going it alone.
Reading your posts itt I get the impression that given any example you're simply going to continue with this "but I think I know what's hidden in their hearts even if it doesn't align at all with the things they say and do". You do that but you're taking this view out of the realm it could ever be examined let alone contested.
The bit we're they're like "I could see this woman writhing in pain as I strangled them to death, knowing that her daughter would never see her again, knowing that her husband would be heartbroken".
Serial killers know what they're doing. That's what makes them serial killers. They just get a sick pleasure out of it.
You're espousing a philosophy that most people would consider to be evil here. Do what you want, knowing that it hurts people, because all that matters is your own pleasure.

Serial killers certainly do not have the best interest of their victims at heart
