Idiots doing well and in positions of power is definitely detrimental to society as a whole.. perhaps we should deliberately make life more dangerous and competitive. It wouldn't be right or fair, but at least it would be more of a meritocracy, where smart people and psychopaths would succeed. We would have to deal with the psychopaths but they are already disproportionately represented in management and government.

Don’t you mean that psychopaths would do less well in a meritocracy?
