We are Psychopathic Geniuses. Are you one of us?
Only 1/30,000 people are 160+ IQ, and only 1% of the population has psychopathy. Assuming probabilistic independence, about 1/3,000,000 of the population satisfy both criteria meaning there are only around 2500 of us in the world.
Every human interaction induces a game. The player who wants to win the most sets the rules. Affective empathy and other neuroticism set the bar for your capacity to take action. This bar is concerningly low for most people, bordering on the self-sacrificial if not outright masochistic. In effect, when faced with a purely rational opponent such a person can never win. No intelligence makes one impotent, no lack of affective empathy and other irrational biases makes one incapable of competing at the extremes. In this sense, us psychopathic geniuses are the ideal people, a superior people.
