Psychopaths are capable of creating propaganda that convinces people who otherwise would not want to harm others.

And unfortunately, the 2% is somehow capable. Like the psychopaths are somehow capable of creating this propaganda that can convince people who otherwise would not want to harm someone. There's a reason that there's a reason that there isn't that 40% of the country doesn't murder people.

People with a psychopathic mental frame do not work well with others.

And the reason for that is generally people of that mental frame don't work well with others. So they can be type A and focused and driven enough to get to the top of a business world where it's like... Crushing other people to get up and stuff like that. You can do that just fine, but then the idea of all banding together to fleece the rest of the world, which Alex would say is what they're doing, is just, that's not how psychology works.

Psychopaths control the planet without fanfare or fear-mongering, and people accept this takeover.

We allow the psychopaths that control the planet to take over. But there's no fanfare. There's no fear-mongering. There's no Hollywood movies demonizing it so people are unaware of it. They just line up and happily commit to it because that's the human spirit.

Psychopaths are tortured and unhappy until they abuse children, at which point they feel good.

Psychopaths are like zombies that have nothing and are totally depressed and tortured and unhappy. It's not like they don't have feelings. That's all a lie. Inside of their world, they are tortured. And only when they've got a kid in the basement torturing them and they're begging for mommy do they even feel good. Then they feel really good. It's a drug.

Charismatic psychopaths within extremist groups can lure reasonable people into adopting psychopathic behaviors.

But at the same time, if you have that 1%, within that 1%, there's going to be, I don't know, 20% of the 1% that are incredibly charismatic and are able to lure people into their psychopathy just almost like by proxy. Right. You'll have, I mean, cult leader types within that 1%, and you have people who would otherwise be maybe reasonable people, maybe people who could go a different path, and unfortunately, they're now functionally psychopaths.
