Clayton - apparently he’s not actually arguing that most people are psychopaths, but rather that the results of their actions are akin to those of psychopaths.
That is correct. I mean David for example, killed 100 palestines to collect the foreskins. War and corruption can be thought of as psychopathy too. Ακόμη 99% of politicians would do it if they can get away with it. Γενοκτονία, war, socialism, big government, are a reflection of voters’ effective psychopathy. In fact, a person doesn’t have to be a psychopath to act as a psychopath. If responsible productive acts like making honest money are punished and unproductivity is rewarded, humans are “forced” to be psycophats.
Say you want to be a responsible husband. Get rich first then get laid. Chance is you pay huge income tax. After that you have to keep paying lifetime alimony and child support to kids that’s not even yours. The amount is set proportional to man’s wealth. If you just breed and knock up babes like irresponsible studs, you get rewarded and government would pay for those. What men would not be a psychopath in their sexual life? Losers… Όντως, I think being a psychopath is a normal, natural, or even moral answer to injustice. Φυσικά, once the world is just, it’s to your best interest to be productive.
However, the idea that humans are indeed actually psychopaths may not be too wrong either.
As someone point out, all those paths are always minority. But they’re not minority because people are not like them. They are minority because social illness is unnaturally defined so that the majority is not categorized as ill.
Delusion for example, should include religions. Ωστόσο, delusional is defined in a way that popular religions don’t count.
The same way most humans share the same traits with most psychopaths. Most humans are selfish. Most humans will choose an act that profit him $100 even if that means many others lose $1000000. Most humans will just justify that immoral acts rather than stop doing it if incentive is high enough. Most strangers would renege on their contracts if they will get away with it. But the definition of psychopaths are carefully defined not to include most people even though most people would do the same thing a psychopath would do under most circumstances.
Look at definition of exploitation for example. It can naturally mean all non consensual interaction or it can naturally mean all taking advantage of other people, consensual or not. Feminazis carefully define exploitation to mean women having sex to paying males, irrelevant of consent or not. This very unnatural definition makes arguments very difficult.
