>>12299262humanity has conquered the world through our intelligence... our ability to make plans and tools to increase the amount of effort we can preform.
We have gotten so good at this, in fact, that despite our limited muscle mass (relative to other mammals), we are now the apex predator on the planet.
In fact, there is no predator of humans, except other humans.
So, it follows, that the best way of attaining and keeping dominance, is to be the smartest human, and concurrently, to reduce the intelligence of all other humans.
Most humans would think this a barbaric action, to deliberately reduce the intelligence of their fellow humans...
but not ALL humans think that this tactic is abhorrent.
psychopaths, for example, would naturally do all within their power to minimize the intelligence of their fellow humans, in order to keep their position on the top of the "ladder", so to speak.
Thusly, the educational institutions are purposely being watered down, and re-engineered to make a more docile, servile, obedient, and dumber type of human, for the purpose of guaranteeing the power and position of a few greedy psychopaths.
Q.E.D.
consequently, psychopathy is one of the great filters.
