[ContemplationInTranquility]

I remember hearing a programme on BBC Radio 4 some years ago about psychology and a group of psychologists on the programme were saying that they believe that about 4% of people are psychopaths and that they have a disproportionate effect on the world. I wonder if this could equate to having a more reptilian brain. Because psychopaths have no empathy or conscience and care only about themselves they are willing to do anything and walk on anyone to get on. Therefore I believe it is highly likely that many of those in positions of power are psychopathic. And of course once in powerful positions they are likely to surround themselves with people who are the same.

I've personally known a few people like this and suffered at the hands of one or two of them. What can be done to counteract the excessive influence of these kinds of people I have no idea.
