The intelligent and quick will amass wealth in any age in my experience. But psychopaths are something else and I understand such people who lack empathy for others exist. I'm not deducing or reaching that conclusion about you at all, nor your reason. Respect where it's due and if you respect me I respect you.

Psychopaths are easy to find, just look to your top 100 CEOs.

The duality of man is pretty interesting.

Like from any generation you can say the hunters tend to be psychopaths and the gatherers rely on them but shake their heads while they do it.

Do you think you can be a 'wolf' without being a psychopath?

Didn't you want good questions Shov? Speak up! This is a democracy.

If governments are parliaments of whores then in a democracy the whores are us.

Setting aside the assumption that gatherers depended on hunters when the reality seems to be the other way around in the vast majority of cultures historically, that seems inaccurate on its face as well. Psychopaths may be hunters (or gatherers), but not all hunters (or gatherers) are psychopaths.

The features that make a psychopath simply tend to be beneficial in corporate culture - aggression, narcissism, blame-shifting, lack of empathy, delusions of grandeur, etc.

depends on how the cells mutate and conditions ripen you and then if you can survive living among psychopaths that want to eat you, sure.

if you mean the pencil factory relies on pencil makers not the guy who built the pencil factory then that is just cope.

you can live without the hunters by eating berries sure but the hunters keep bringing sizzling steaks and cool skull crowns back to the camp.

So Im gonna just keep handing over berries to trade them for some of that.

confirmed, anyone who suggests a book like who moved my cheese is just a mindful sociopath in training.

all of those corporate self-help books are just sociopath manuals... how to make every human relationship transactional. if your friends don't financially benefit you, cut them from your life. doing a swot analysis on whether or not to get divorced.
