One more quick run at the sociopath angle for today
In fact, I'm not going to say much at all.

I'm going to give you over to Venkatesh Rao, and let him unravel the business world for you through the prism of the TV show *The Office* (the American version).

However, this unraveling also reveals three personality archtypes and how they interact with the world;  I extend his view of the office world to society as a whole, and it is an interesting explanation for how the world works.

Rao breaks the human population into three types: sociopaths, the clueless, and losers.  These designations might not mean them in the way that you think at the moment.  However, Rao's look at the sociopath dovetails in neatly with our discussions on kakistocracy, and I have been looking for an excuse to share this series with Steemit.

This is a series that might take a couple of days to assimilate, but I assure you it is well worth your time

Amazing read! Never watch the show, but the visual tidbits I saw of it from time to time, always made me intrigued about it.

> three types: sociopaths, the clueless, and losers

without even reading more that sums it all up.

The sociopaths have their beta pack of sycophants.  They want to be on the 'winning team' regardless if it is clearly EVIL.

The 'Losers' see the parasitic class but are powerless to alter the system, since they can quickly be labeled lunatics and shunned by the 'Clueless'.  This very much inline with "The Allegory of the Cave".

If any 'Loser' becomes too loud and obnoxious, frightens a flock of muggles, then the ranking sociopaths will order their underlings to KRT with immunity.
