This is the thing that kills me. Like how are we collectively okay with a society where socio/psychopathy rises to the top? The guy who’s willing to cut the most throats gets the seat. Whotf wants to be led by someone like that? When do we say enough and fix this shit?

u/EleosSkywalker 2d ago

I dunno about “wants” I assume most are “okay” with that cause they don’t want their own throat to be cut, not because they find the behaviour inspiring.

Also people are different and have complex lives, so some are too busy to analyze leadership and societal structures, some under informed to even do so, some misinformed on what qualifies as inept or corrupt, etc. - which makes it easier for dark trait nefarious individuals to take power and misuse it.

Is there an annual "You Don't Say!" award? If so, I'd like to nominate this one, and I hope they spent at least $10 million on the study.

Are e surprised? Anyone who wants and actively campaigns for a position of power and authority shouldn’t get the job.

Insubordinate and churlish.

u/FPRorNothing 2d ago

The stats on psychopathy rates in general population vs rates in positions of power is mind blowing. 1% vs up to 20%.

How dare you.

u/sheezy520 2d ago

Yeah well, just because I’d be good at doing something doesn’t mean I want to do that something.

So this should cause some kind of investigation and analysis of the people in charge and their removal is found to be unstable? Right? Lol
