Why Psychopaths Rise To Power

Indeed human societal organization/ hierarchy traces back to the cave time, but even beyond to the coreSelf “experiencing” in animal forms. The behaviors can therefore be seen across the animal (includes humans) kingdom. It’s basic peaceful/ followers’ versus dominant/ predatory nature or individual characteristics.

The confusion for the ordinary individual comes from strict identification with the bodily form and arrogance from perceived impressive structures and social organizations we build.

That is an oversimplification of the situation. History is more about enforced control rather than about selective control. It is nature herself who puts the strong man into power. Nature itself creates the evolutionary mold from which the strong man emerges.

Something should be done about it, as he suggests but only with the knowledge that nature presents opportunities for the powerful to selfishly seize power.
