Between 1995 and 2015, I came to notice that corporate and political leadership began to resemble the prisoner population I had trained to treat, more than the prisoners themselves (who became more and more normal with mass incarceration).
As we increase concentrations of power, especially the kind that comes with impunity and legalized corruption, it functions as bait for sociopaths. Sociopaths make up 1-4% of the population but take up 20% of leadership positions.
In other words, if we have a system that preferentially selects criminal personalities to office, then we have a system that will increasingly self-destruct than offer anything productive for society.
