Thanks! If more people had a better understanding understanding of psychopathy, a lot less of the current insanity would have been accepted and perhaps more psychopaths in government would either have been prevented from getting there or bunged out/arrested for their crimes.
It could have been very different, all along if we, generally, could have recognised psychopaths and keep them out of public offices/positions of influence, or have had them removed as soon as indications of callousness/psychopathy/corruption/ showed, and been able to do this all along.
Who guards the guards? Maybe the MRI pushers are the psychopaths. After all, they are taking away bodily autonomy, just as in the COVID era. Not a good thing.
My other issue would be that there is not always a brain lesion to be found. Narcissitic Personality Disorder can blend into the same presentation as Psychopathy, and is not caused by a physical fault.
"But out of everyone I think Josh Slocum has gone the farthest in presenting a ponerological perspective on modern American politics and culture. And he didn’t need to read the book in order to do so. He lived it for himself and saw the connections as a result, so I consider him one of those remarkable people who has independently discovered many of the things Lobaczewski and his colleagues did."
Josh Slocum was not the only one to have taken the lived-patterns he grew up with, and then began recognizing the same patterns in modern society. Without the book. People often mistake those who have gone public in podcasts as the only ones to have seen this. As they did with the observations of Mattias Desmet....nice fellow too, but he was the first only in terms of publicly articulating his observation. A number of others had long known what he knew, and certainly others had recognized the COVID Psy-Op early in the game.

I've been saying for some time we need to do an MRI scan of every public servant's brain to screen for psychopathy.
AI should make this easy.
>In before muh false positives: It's better to keep a hundred good men out of government than let in even one psychopath.

"Sick minds in power lead to sick societies.
It’s fractal."
Reminds me of the interesting analogy that Mattias Desmet made to the Sierpinski Triangle, in his recent book on Totalitarianism.
