Sociopaths: They See Us as Prey
Melinda Pillsbury-fosterSociopaths have always been with us. Without conscience themselves they lie without compunction, kill to achieve their ends. Now, we can identify all of them, those in government, in corporations, and those poised to destroy us personally.
The three things you need to know about psychopaths are these:
1. 5% of all human males and 1% of all human females are born psychopaths
2. An otherwise normal person can be turned into a psychopath by having too much power over others.
3. People who are not psychopaths have a tendency to blindly obey and follow them.
We spent roughly 200,000 years in small hunter-gatherer groups. The members of these groups had a better chance of surviving long enough to breed if their group was led by a certain kind of natural leader and if the members of the group followed the leader as an absolute ruler. That's what created the situation described above.
Politics is a gameboard that selects and empowers psychopaths.
There is good evidence that most of our rulers are, in fact, psychopaths. This idea is the basis of the landmark work "Political Ponerology: A Science on The Nature of Evil adjusted for Political Purposes" by Andrew M. Lobaczewski
Publication of this book in the US was prevented for years by one Zbigniew Brzezinski. It is now available, thanks to the efforts of historian Laura Knight-Jadczyk, who provides a penetrating analysis here:
