Alan Watt: On psychopathy and white collar crime

[MrFaisel34]

Sucessful psychopaths, on the other hand, are sucessful because they usually hold positions of authority and can blend into society and the workplace. They are--usually--unrecognizable to most their collegues and victims

Yes, no doubt. I recommend a few books on the subject on this video's text box, and I hope most viewers will get ahold of a few of them.

Most 'successful' psychopaths go into government and into the corporations, where they become highly successful, by using other people and being utterly ruthless, and this means wrecking everything and everyone that is (or might be) to their disadvantage.

A very good policy would be to make *everyone in public service* take a psychopathy test.

[dutytocareforothers]

@LibertyArchives3 But they want psychopaths to work in corporations. So the tests would work to the advantage of the CEO. And who is to say these tests are not being used for that purpose now?

Well, private corporations are free to hire who they wish, and yes, some hire psychopaths and sociopaths on purpose. Corporate finance is a good example of what a haven for psychopaths is.

But the public sector (and that's what I alluded to) must be a different thing altogether: what we pay taxes for, must have a public, transparent, effective, screening mechanism to prevent against having these characters in government: whether it's an elected position or not.

[dutytocareforothers]

@LibertyArchives3 There are a lot of psychopaths in universities: they even have a pseudo-screen process. It's called workplace mobbing. Mob out those deemed "bad" while the really bad power-mongering "experts" stay in their positions to manufacture more discontent and pitfalls.

I understand private corporations are "free" to hire who they wish but it doesn't mean they cannot be judged, criticized, and insulted. Plus they are upheld to the same laws as anyone: e.g., Enron, Wal-Mart, etc.

...and I'll add that these big corporations are not independent companies at all. They are, always have been, specialized arms of the globalist banking axis of London/NY/Basel. Any big company trying to go its own way soon finds itself bear raided into bankruptcy.

These titanic corporations exist for one purpose only: to take over all - all - resources, destroy all competition, and establish a worldwide system of monopolies, under the control of the banks who own them.

Sure, a university job is great for a psychopath: there are people to do the hard work for you, easy grant money, prestige, career opportunities.

Also there's the fact that in academia today, the key skills are knowing how to be a good liar and how to distort your data.

I'm aware of the tactics going on, like mobbing. You know, that is KGB, Gestapo, Stasi methodology. Pathocracy at its best. It wouldn't happen in the West right?

@dutytocareforothers

Btw, I say this not as some kind of über-control method, but as a defense against that. Right now, the public sectors throughout the world are infested by these people; always have been, in a sense, but now it's easier, and more obvious.

One of the things that's coming out of this 'pathocracy', as it should be called, is the universal movement to control everything the commoners do, keep tabs on everything and everyone.

[LibertyArchives3]

@dutytocareforothers

The 'global' pathocracy behaves just like every other pathocracy (nazi, soviet, etc) has, throughout history: they set up police states. Psychopaths, sociopaths, and the quasi-schizofrenics and obsessive-compulsive characters they usually have as their helpers need that control over the rest of society, you see.

So, in a sense, it's us or them. Either we get rid of the pathocracy (and this starts with government) or the pathocracy gets rid of us.

Here is one to add to your book list: Working with Monsters by Dr. John Clarke"

[LibertyArchives3]

@MrFaisel34

Thank you, it sure seems to be an interesting book. Added to the list, and I will check it out, thanks again for the reference.

@MrFaisel34

Also, here's another one for dealing with workplace psychopaths: Psychological Warfare at Work by Dr. Patricia Spindel.

Respond to this video... I would like to repost some comments I posted previously because of typos.

Psychopaths have a craving for power and status. They fawn over their bosses because they are aroused by the power and authority they hold.

Most people usually associate psychopaths with serial killers or murderers as seen in the mass media, but those are the unsuccessful psychopath.
