Was smoking weed and thinking about psychopaths. I think that psychopaths have always ruled at the top and always have. They're ruthless, manipulative, cunning, charming, can easily lie, fearless, high self aeareness, lack empathy, etc. These might sound like drawbacks from a neurotypical perspective, but if those traits are wielded as tools then they become invaluable advantages. The difference between a psychopath in prison and one in a position of power is their ability to control it.
I believe the greatest leaders in history such as Hitler and Donald Trump were sociopaths or psychopaths that managed to climb the ladder. And this isn't a new concept that only applies to modern history. They've likely been rising to the higher echelons for ages. Psychopaths have the ability to make decisions that most normal people, blinded by emotions, can't do.
And as a result, we have airplanes, trains, the internet, and many other inventions as thanks to them. Look at the Nazi's. They were conducting all sorts of crazy experiments that were extremely unethical but helped advance society. Your favorite Nazi zombie horror movie showcases their technological advancements but in a negative light because it was evil according to conventional standards.
Furthermore, religion might have been created by psychopaths and used as a tool of control. Same goes for the internet. It keeps the masses in check
And the Illuminati might just be inspired by psychopathy. Think about it. They're an elite shadowy organization that manipulates society on a wide scale using tools such as music, media, etc. They don't want to necessarily kill everyone. That would be counter productive to a psychopath. No, regardless of how meaningless you are to them, they still need you to survive and keep them in a position of power.
Going off that, the very concept of good and evil throughout history just night be based on psychopathy/sociopathy.
One might ask, are psychopaths evil? According to traditional standards: yes. Objectively: no. We need them if the survival of our species is the goal. Just like we need all mental disorders. If everyone thought from the same limited perspective, we would probably be banging rocks together still. Its true: all geniuses are crazy.
