I'm reading the Psychopath Test, a book that is, unsurprisingly, about psychopaths, or, really, psychopathology. Here's a passage from the book that contains an e-mail exchange between a psychiatrist and the author:The bad news for everyone else is that psychiatrists claim that since psychopaths love power, the ones that don't end up in prison, end up at the top of society. Finally, an explanation for Donald Trump, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bill Gates and Dominique Strauss-Kahn that makes sense.
"But Bob Hare and us have always agreed that psychopaths are born that way and not created by controlling mummies and weak fathers."
"That's lucky," I e-mailed back, "as I am a weak father and my wife is a controlling mummy."
Especially useful now that economist, Simon Johnson says that we are living in a classic oligarchy.
