The belief that more than 1% of the population is a psychopath and the paranoia that everyone, though they may not be 100% psychopathic, you interact with could possibly carry psychopathic traits. This includes the belief that, since psychopathy is genetic and a trait that can be passed on, that someone can be born expressing a small percentage of psychopathy and doesn’t have to be 100% or 0% psychopathic; they can be anywhere in between 0%-100%. This also means that, since psychopathy is a favorable trait for the fitness of the species, that over time there will be an increase in people expressing varying degrees of psychopathy since it is a desirable trait. It is important to remember however, that psychopaths are unintelligent chimps devolving the human race.

I saw an article recently that included a study on female psychopathy that claimed it was much more pervasive than than we previously believed.
Hym "There's more female psychopathy than you think and if you broaden the term to 'seeking short term gratification' then it's likely that there's EVEN MORE psychopathy among women then the study accounts for! Because I doubt the study accounts for 'The personal definition of "the core of psychopathy" from a guy who just doesn't want people to seek short term gratification.' So... WRONG AGAIN JORDAN! God you're wrong a lot! And I'm right... SO VERY OFTEN. It's absurd. A fake debate between a charlatan and an imposter. Fascinating to watch. Especially knowing the full context of the situation. That's what makes my thing so interesting. Knowing the full context."

(noun) A term in modern political discourse describing individuals with psychopathic traits who are drawn to positions of power, including political office, driven by a desire for control and prestige. These individuals exhibit malignant characteristics such as superficial charm, manipulativeness, lack of empathy, grandiosity, and deceitfulness. Their traits influence decision-making and public interactions, suggesting a tendency to pursue power for personal gain rather than the public good.
American Psychopathy calls out today’s politics for what it is—a high-stakes hustle where charisma beats credentials, lies sell better than truth, and public service is a grab for clout and cash.
