Objectively speaking why do we need psychopathic/sociopathic/ASPD people in the gene pool?
Think about it:
> 20% of prison inmates are psychopaths, 50% of the violent crimes are from psychopaths
>There's historic evidence that a single individual in a position of power can cause extreme damage to those hierarchically below them (not to say to society as a whole): Hitler, Stalin, Enron CEO, Jim Jones, Saddam Hussein, etc.
> Not all psychopaths are serial-killers, but all serial killers are psychopaths
> The consequences of having no remorse, makes them unable to learn adequate behaviours from their mistakes or by punishment, yielding therapy
> Psychopaths given counseling are 10% more likely to engage in antisocial behaviour.
