As I already said, we’re not going to be able to get rid of the sociopaths. It’s a mental disorder, by chance and or trauma. They’ll always be with us, barring some genetic engineering that borders on eugenics. That’s not the point.

The point is to make them the minority, and have a system where everyone isn’t forced to act like them in order to succeed.

I’ve already stated a potential option. Capitalism on its own is technically a purely neutral economic system, provided it’s ONLY the economic system. We have expanded that system into our society as well, and that’s when it becomes toxic.

Use a capitalist economy, but strapped and locked down by socialist (true socialist, not the USSR or communist) principles and systems. Ensure that if capitalism has social effects, they’re extremely minor, and elevate the good of people above that of capital. Socialism Strapped Capitalism.

Good inroads to this are things like UBI, a maximum income, and ensuring social and environmental effects are included in corporate financial calculations.

Thank you for being my first block here, you galactic brain simpleton, you ;)

It’s worse. Certain economic and social systems are designed to make the only viable, or most viable, survival strategy to be a sociopath or worse. Most people are forced to cosplay that at some level in these systems, whether they have those traits naturally or not, in order to survive. And despite human nature being communal, it’s more powerful in survival adaptation.

I’m morbidly curious as to when you think capitalism started, considering your take here :V

Hint: it was fire

That’s not the problem. The problem isn’t the people willing to exploit the system. They’re the sociopaths in question that capitalism is designed to help succeed.

The problem is, everyone else has to cosplay them in order to survive. And human nature, despite being communal, is more powerful than that in only one way; survival adaptation.

Our species will adapt as hard as it has to in order to survive, no matter what.

In a capitalist system (mind you, societal as well as economic, socialism strapped capitalism might actually work very well), because the best survival strategy is to be a sociopath or worse, most people will be forced to do so to at least some level.

Change the system, change the outcome.

It’s almost like capitalism is designed to make sociopathy the more successful survival strategy

Hello there to anybody on KBin reading this, feel free to throw memes at me

Very effective, very mildly infuriating. Good job.
