The reality of clinical psychopaths is far from that portrayed by Hollywood in movies such American Psycho (2000), typically involving killers and mass murders. The set of psychopaths is much larger, and includes politicians and academics, and corporate psychopaths. Your passive aggressive corporate CEO could well be one, and there are now many books about this subject, such as Snakes in Suits (2019) by Paul Bakiak. The psychopath is characterized by antisocial behaviour, lack of empathy and remorse, and extreme egoism. We see these properties in people like Trump and the Clintons, and most of the super-elites. The question is what does society do about them, and Brandon Smith has some suggestions, such a screening, but I think he vastly under-estimates the extent of the problem. Still, it gets the ball going.
