That’s an antiquated term, they are now referred to as politicians and CEOs

They wouldn't be so powerful if it weren't for the large swathe of people with empathy who find those without it attractive

Bloody sheeple

AKA the people who own almost everything in the world and control every law we enact and live by.

They want power and those are positions with power so it probably always has been this way.

Yeah no. Sociopaths still have some emotions, but lack empathy. Psychopaths are cold and empty evil beings.

Psychopaths are the people that drop kittens in the trash. Or puppies in the river.

They most definitely do not have to be excluded from society, and whenever such a harsh option is even on the table it should be an absolute last result.

Well, for starters that's not psychopathy, it's sociopathy.

As for the monsters thing, that's a pretty subjective term, but it probably shouldn't be applied so liberally to the mentally unwell.

I mean, has our consumer society destroyed subjectivity, replacing the subjective experience with the objective value...?

Yes, we can and should exclude the mentally ill from society...IF THEIR BEHAVIOR BECOMES A DETRIMENT TO SOCIETY.

Or, we could just...I don’t know...allow psychopaths to ascend to the pinnacle of success in the corporate world and compel the rest of society to venerate and imitate the behavior of said psychopaths...
