I have been reading about how psychopaths have infiltrated society and for millennia have caused terrible disruption, suffering and even war.  I am fascinated by the classic work "Political Ponerology" and wondered how many of you were familiar with it.
 
 
 
This is a video that shows the MRI results of a psychopath as compared to a normal human...
 
 
What does this bode for the future?

The idea of ponerology is to science as the work of Henry Darger is to
art, or Scientology is to religion. I prefer to gather my ideas from
reputable scientists and don't see why the existing disciplines aren't
enough to accommodate a discussion of evil.

I wonder which is more dangerous, psychopathy or crackpot-ism.
