I make the effort to share this information because it gives me, at last, a plausible answer to a long-unanswered question: Why, no matter how much intelligent goodwill exists in the world, is there so much war, suffering and injustice? It doesn't seem to matter what creative plan, ideology, religion, or philosophy great minds come up with, nothing seems to improve our lot. Since the dawn of civilization, this pattern repeats itself over and over again. The answer is that civilization, as we know it, is largely the creation of psychopaths.
Since psychopaths have no limitations on what they can or will do to move up a hierarchy, modern corporations, governments, militaries, banks, etc. have become topheavy with psychopaths. It is not power that corrupts, it is that corrupt individuals seek power.
How can we distinguish between psychopaths and healthy people? What is the portrait of a true psychopath? Such dangerous questions have almost never been successfully asked. The reason is because we mistakenly confuse healthy for normal.
