    Psychopaths with a clinical diagnosis or just people you don’t agree with and then you label as “psychopath” for a justified extermination?

    How could even be property diagnosed if it’s known that a positive diagnosis would mean extermination?

    That’s a really dangerous approach, more likely to do far more wrong that right.

    We need a way to fix everything that’s wrong with humankind but I do not think that’s the way.

    You also should wary of those approaches, in a french revolution scenario of killing all but the true good people the revolutionaries always end up killing each other quite soon.

      50% of it is genetic. Theoretically, we couldn’t eliminate it 100%. But with new tech, we could detect the genes in vitro and possibly modify them as tech progresses. That is a dangerous idea, too. But so is dying in nuclear winter because there are too many tyrants.

        And do you think all tyrants or a great number of them are genetically psychopaths?

        I do not think that’s the case. A psychopath is characterized by lack of feelings towards people, all people. Many tyrants do love people, and many of their actions are driven because they think their violence is protecting these people. Other may just be because extremist ideologies. But I think few do it because they are just psychopaths.
