So what about those with political influence or high placed in bureaucracy who are even more power and have even less in common? Worse yet, the positions select for those who are not only manipulators but have a malleable sense of reality. The infamous Karl Rove attributed quote about being an empire and making their own reality.

If we are going to avoid promoting sociopathy the first thing to do is not to make the sollipistic manipulators even more powerful.

Rove and his ilk were enabled by the ultra wealthy. Otherwise he’d be a divorce lawyer.
