We -- all of us really and almost without break for all history -- suffer
under misrule by organized psychopaths who invariably control the vertices
of power and use it to ensure that they remain in power, long term.
But no matter -- MWI -- there has to be some reality where psychopaths are
treated as the diseased individuals they are and given help to overcome
their affliction... now how to get the current "me" into that reality stream
Time for a biotechnology lab to work out how to rewrite human DNA so we live
up to the "angel" end of "the rope over the abyss", e.g. work out how to
eliminate psychopathic behaviour and generally make us be nicer to each
other. Then stick it in a highly infectious retrovirus and release it...
>>There's a continuum of behavior which at the extreme absence of empathy we
call psychopathy or sociopathy. But that doesn't mean more empathy is
better. Sometimes it's good to be hard hearted. Should we have been nicer
to the Neanderthals?
Didn't we interbreed with Neanderthals. that is either as nice as it gets or
is a very nasty act indeed.
But I take your point. Sometimes it is necessary to say NO, but the extreme
absence of empathy that characterizes psychopaths is the reason why every
society ultimately falls into the grip of a self-perpetuating culture of
crime & corruption and rots out from the inside.
