I mean their thought patterns are likely devoid of emotion. Whether the thoughts are “logical” in the sense that you’re getting at is up for debate. I think they’re logical from his vantage point where his base is comprised of woke idiots and so he panders to them. There’s a logic to his illogical (at face) policies
Stop.

We won't go into whether Sleepy Joe or the Mango Mussolini "think logically"…

Yes.
If you think of it, Sociopathy is actually a good personality for a hero. You have social fearlessness and a natural ability to dominate and think logically. Bond is a sociopath, like Joe Biden.
Stop.

Sounds pretty sociopathic to me.
Bond would also be leaning more towards psychopathic nature. He is a narcissistic that is for sure and plans his moves, even if it means getting innocents killed and shows no remorse.
Norman! What did you put in my tea?

In the novel, Bond tells Quarrel to find two strangers who resemble Bond and Quarrel and to pay them to drive around town in Bond's car as decoys - without telling the two strangers the real reason for their job. Naturally, these two unsuspecting decoys are swiftly killed by Dr. No's agents. So, Bond effectively set up two innocent strangers to be murdered. Sounds pretty sociopathic to me.

I meant not because he is crazy.

I don't think he is. He doesn't really seem to enjoy killing. In the recent films he kills on a personal level out of revenge, but because he is crazy. Take what I just wrote with a grain of salt.

Yes, he has to be a sociopath in this line of work.
"Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop."

He appears to be a fictional character from a book. You on the other hand appear to be a living, breathing idiot.

Absolutely.
He's actually a sociopath both in films and in novels. Actually in novels even more so.
He always got his six.

Althrough you're right about the first one (and Bond fits in, he's going to extreme willingly and not so fascinated about anything really), the second is wrong.
Sociopaths are well aware about the consequences of any of their actions. And it's actually the only thing that stops them, as they don't have much of authority guide and no moral guide at all in most cases. They just wouldn't like to be punished.

Two key characteristics of a sociopath is a high excitement threshold (needing to go to extreme lengths to get a bit of happiness) and a lack of awareness toward one's consequences of their actions.
I wouldn't say James Bond is either. He's simply just an imperfect man in a violent stressful job.

There must be studies of that sort out there. Suicide and PTSD are common and unfortunate issues that affect a lot of returning soldiers. It would be irresponsible if the military was not trying to study that to mitigate it.

James Bond is an orphan whose parents died when he was very young. This left him with a sense of displacement. He didn't fit in anywhere and he had a detachment from people. It makes him the perfect secret agent as he has no attachments. When you are trained as an agent, they teach you to be dispassionate and detached. That's easier if you've been that way all your life. Killing is a very traumatic event if you aren't mentally trained for it, but the OSS was the best. They kind of touch on this in Casino Royale (2005) in the very beginning. The first kill is the hardest, the rest come easier. They reference this type of mentality in Gross Point Blank as well when Martin says he fit a certain psychological type that the Army was looking for.
Interestingly, Fleming was the same way. He was a drinker, used women like toilet paper and never looked back.
I used to be in a military unit whose mission got them into some tricky spots in Iraq and Afghanistan. You'd be really surprised how war affected people differently. Some just kind of shrugged off the killing, some couldn't stop seeing the horror and many of them turned to drink and drugs. I would be really curious to see a study done on the mental makeup of these folks to see if there was a common thread (orphans, abused as children, etc) for those who didn't seem affected by it. I bet Bond would fall into that category.
My memory foam pillow says it can't remember my face. I can tell its lying.

This question is so stupid. I weep for the future of humanity

well, if he kept being remorseful about killing people it would make it jolly difficult to do his job. and the flings woth women aren't meaningless, he seems to enjoy them. As for hitting them - the books were written, and the early films were made, before this modern obsession about men never hitting women no matter what - which come to think of it is odd anyway, considering we're all supposed to be equal nowadays. You'd think there'd be less squeamishness about hitting them nowadays, rather than more. And he never appears to me to drink excessively.

You're such a special beep Oh wait . . . no you're not.

More to the point, is Ian Flemming a pathetic drunken wimp?

you cant be sympathetic and be in his line of work.
So what is the personality type that seeks out 007's line of work? A narcissistic sociopath perhaps?
Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Sociopathic don't mean one's crazy or insane. And indeed - when a man kills for a living, he has to be at least somewhat sociopathic, no question there. Hopefully I'm not being overly optimistic in assuming most people wouldn't be able to do Bond's job for moral reasons as much as athletic ones. Killing folk ain't no joke once you stand there with a gun in your hand however easy inconsequential it's made to look in glammed up spy movies.
"facts are stupid things" - Ronald Reagan

Exactly, 007 has a license to kill. Turning Dent over to the police would have been a waste. Bond as an agent with MI6 isn't concerned with obeying laws. His orders are to accomplish the mission- period. Now he can't be reckless (to avoid undue attention to himself) but nothing he did struck me as being some crazy, insane person.
As for sleeping with numerous women, it comes with the territory. In Thunderball he tells Fiona he tells her he did it for Queen and country. He has to use whatever means he finds necessary. WTH is wrong with that?

They didn't have torture back then
?????? Maybe, if you are talking about the Jurassic period.

Sure, he could have committed a suicide, no denying that, but you'd think Bond and co. would have been aware of that matter by then.
