I watched an excellent video on the above last night, and its disturbing. Psychopathy is hardly researched and its incidence is between one and four per cent of the population, no one knows what it is or where it comes from. It is over represented in politics and boardrooms.
Technology, computers etc is aiding the spread of peychopathy as human personal contact is not needed. The immediate example of this is the water companies discharging effluent into the sea and rivers and not caring about the damage, it saves money and dividends go up. Today the railways are a shambles, crew are taking time off because its christmas, and for no other reason, they should be at work.
Chaos ensues. The Tory party lies, and doesnt care if its found out. Wokery is about having a woke view and ignoring all the facts that disqualifies it, ably shown by Lineker, Labour, yes and the Tories. Its not psychosis its psychopathy, they are well aware of what they are doing.
This site and im sure many others rage at the serious problems the world has, and im sure the above has a very large contributory factor. I think i know where it comes from, this world is about fighting off, surviving against an enemy that never goes away, win a battle, and the beast re charges and comes back. Look at your health, you will lose one day.
Look at Russia......the wars in Africa, even in the west democracy is subverted at every turn. Arabia cuts peoples heads off. Evil wears a mask in the west, the prisons over flow. Gos help us all, most people are sheep and follow the psychopathic, you risk rage, punishment if you dont.

I remember telling the Donald global politics is like constantly playing a 3D chess game, which he then repeated and also thought he could play 3D chess, me thinks he has found out he isn't a player.

Many believe we are at the end of times. No-one knows exactly when it will happen but happen it will and the whole world will see it. There is just one adversary who knows full well that in the end it will lose the final war with Heaven, but in the meantime the aim is to persuade as many as possible that there is no God, no eternity, and no forgiveness. Anything is used in terms of lies and deceit that concentrates on all our weaknesses which are as well known by him as by God Himself. We only have to look around the world to see it in action and yes every generation has thought the same except this time a real analysis of the Bible and other scriptures' teachings makes it seem more likely than before. The warnings are coming thick and fast.
We all have a choice on which side we will fight for we will be called both to choose and to fight. We are clearly told that Jesus is the only way to remain strong enough. We lie back and take no notice at our peril.

Sorry, but having died three times i can say with some conviction that 1) whilst mildly concerning having everything fade to black it only hurt after i was brought back to see several faces mostly wearing medical attire and concerned looks and 2) it was, simply put, quite simply lights out all black thats it. No light no imps no heavenly choir just nothing. The church I was brought up in taught that there was no hell, no hellfire, no imps with pitchforks, no eternal torture. If as they taught ‘hell’ is the absence of contact with a supreme being, then my experience speaks to that and in fact i can live with that, and die with it too. |

Now, back to the point of the OP
Psychopaths have their uses. The UK government think tank of the cold war years intended to use psychopaths to clesr tbe streets of the dead after a nuclear strike as they don’t suffer what we now call PTSD

We are clearly told that Jesus is the only way to remain strong enough. We lie back and take no notice at our peril. The truth is very unpopular. Regarding these wars. All of us should be spreading peace. None of us should play any part in it. We should not vote for any MP who votes for war on our behalf and none of us should have anything to do with production of arms, funding the military or indeed doing anything that facilitates it. By doing this you save other people's lives. The other thing is people should always tell the truth. That does not mean telling everyone everything they want to know. Instead it is better to refuse the question than to lie. One reason our economy is in such a dire state is those who trade do not do it honestly. A prime example was the Post Office scandal. Cowards pleaded guilty to crimes they did not commit. In the bible it says the coward will go to hell, and they did. You see just imagine if every one of those thousands accused all pleaded not guilty. Do you really think the government crooks could have pulled it off? Actions like this show that people can be walked all over, so they do get walked all over. |

Arien, our similarity is amazing, i have often said to others that this world is about choosing sides, going back as far as i can remember. And being old and tired, my energy is further diminished by the understanding that even after leaving this world the struggle continues, but surely not as bad in the next world. To use a war analogy, im sure we are on the frontline.
Is there a final battle,? my colours are with the Almighty, and i will show the same mercy to my foes that Putin shows to the Ukraine. Is there a vanquishing?, whereby we can all go home and live in peace and eternal bliss.

Is there a vanquishing?, whereby we can all go home and live in peace and eternal bliss. My understanding is that there is indeed a battle raging. The adversary is desperate to gain as many souls as possible to follow him while God waits patiently and hopefully for us to make our choice. According to my studies we have already seen the 7th seal broken and this suggests that soon God will decide that enough is enough.The adversary fights with deceit and lies, the world will turn to false prophets who will be skilled in leadership. People who seem to be the answer to the chaos that will engulf the world. Sadly the opposite is true and Jesus will return as Israel is engulfed. Not all will be destroyed, some will be lifted up ready to return during the Millennium to complete God's work while Satan is temporarily chained. There are enough prophesies throughout the Scriptures, parts of which have already come to be, for there to be good reason to believe what is written. After in depth study and a lot of prayer I have come to my own conclusions but don't ask anyone else to believe. The truth is out there if we are prepared to look with an open heart and mind. Luke 11:28 in Other Translations 28 Jesus replied, “But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.” 28 Jesus commented, "Even more blessed are those who hear God's Word and guard it with their lives!" |

I fail to see your point.
Sewage release is a sign of psychopathy? There was me thinking it is because of a £600 billion legacy problem with our sewers caused by decade after decade of under-investment during nationalisation because there was never any votes in sewerage lol . There was more water leaks, dead rivers, and turds on the beach during nationalisation... so there was more psychopaths back then???
If you are born in the UK today, you are one of the luckiest people to have ever lived, that is just a fact on literally every metric. The main problem we have today, is that people will tell you that you have it bad so that you will buy into their narrative, because it is easier to be negative than positive.

It's well established in the research that those in leadership positions have higher rates of psychopathy than the societal average. That's likely to be because psychopaths don't care who they trample on in their ascent to the top. Paul Babiak and Robert Hare's book, "Snakes in Suits" is a good starting place if you're interested. They looked at rates of psychopathy in Wall St executives and found it to be three times the US national average. In my field of research (military mental health), we would love to conduct similar research on the Armed Forces and anticipate similar results, but of course we would have to get the MoD's permission to carry out such a study...and they are strangely reluctant to give their approval!  However, you can extrapolate the principle to any field of interest, so it would also be reasonable to suspect that our political leadership is over-populated with psychopaths. The dominant feature of psychopathy, whether one takes one's diagnostic criteria from ICD-11 or DSM-V, is a total lack of empathy or concern for other people. I think it's safe to say that this is a common feature of many political leaders - and in particular the 'strongmen' types (even if they're women) - and my professional view is that the more extreme any individual's political opinion is, the more likely they are a psychopath. Extreme political positions are utterly dependent on not caring about the adverse effects on others of achieving the political goal. |

Let's face it, you have to be abnormal to want to devote your life to 70 hour weeks and arse licking your way to the top. Normal people want to spend time with family & friends and engage in hobbies. |
