    A not insignificant, but small, percentage of humans are narcissist psychopaths. They hide it well enough to blend in day to day and continue to breed. They’re in it only for themselves. They’re drawn to power and therefore politics.

    I’m not about eugenics. But if that ever comes back into fashion, I think this is the trait we should breed out.

      i would go so far as to say that eliminating the influence of psychopaths on civilization is the single most important thing we need to do for the survival of our species - that if we don’t get all of these obviously profoundly mentally ill fucks out of their positions of power one way or another, nothing else we do is going to matter.
