What are the Chances of World Peace with so many Psychopaths in power?
Edited on Wed Jan-12-11 11:22 AM by Cal33
Both genetics and environment play a role in the formation of
"anti-social personality disorder," which is also known as
"sociopathy" or "psychopathy." These sick people are recognized by
their ambitious greed, lack of conscience, their superficially charming
ways, and the ways in which they can lie, cheat and deceive in order to
achieve their goals (which are always MONEY and POWER over others in one
way or another). They tend to become corporate execs. and politicians,
because that's where money and power can be found.

2 to 4% of sociopaths are found in the general population. You can
be sure that the percentage is much higher among politicians and
corporate execs. for the reason mentioned above.

That's why our world is always in trouble. Too many sociopaths are
holding high positions. We will never be rid of wars until we have
reduced the numbers of sociopaths in positions of power.

Looking back at our written history of some 7,000 years, there have
only been 250 years when there was no major conflict going on somewhere
in our world.

What do you think our chances of having a peaceful world really are?
And how can we change the situation in our favor?

1. Women need to excercise their reproductive power
and stop the hereditary transmission of these traits.

2. You've got a point there, but I think it will be some time before
scientists will be able to identify all the genes for human personality traits,
and even longer before they'll be able to do something about altering them.

In the meantime we can already do something about how to raise our children
with a better sense of values, but even this is a difficult goal to achieve.
