psychopaths in charge of the asylum

Following a link from the ever excellent Smoking Mirrors (and trust me, you need to read this man's thoughts), I read this extraordinary article about the psychopaths among us.

When viewed in this light, the world makes perfect sense.

Israelis dropping napalm on children, banks being bailed out by the very people who caused the problems in the first place, and the cattle public of Wooton Basset lining up to honour child killers all seems suddenly entirely logical, whereas before it struck me as essentially complete and utter madness.

But not if the world is actually run by psychopaths.

Of course it is. How could it ever have been otherwise. The article makes clear that psychopaths have an advantage over us handicapped non psychopaths. They feel no pity, remorse or empathy for a start. On a level field, they are already ahead on the score board.
