Psychopathy Theory

Do Psychopaths Run The World

An intriguing documentary examines the hypothesis that our civilization is and probably always has been run by organizations headed by psychopathic-like individuals.

Research on psychopathy has uncovered the following troubling facts:

• Psychopaths are highly attracted to positions of power and control.
• Psychopaths are adept at manipulating people to get what they want.
• Psychopaths are pathological liars and can be so convincing that you begin to doubt your own sanity.
• The higher up in any organization you go, the more likely you will find psychopaths.

These facts suggest the hypothesis that psychopathic-like individuals are running the world. The 99-95% of us that are not psychopaths need to come to terms with this frightening possibility and start doing something about it. How much of the widespread suffering afflicting our world could be stopped by changing to a society that is not run by the worst people on the planet?
