    I would like to know the percentage of high level politicians that are psychopaths.

      I kind of don’t want to know, because the real answer would probably be terrifying.

        CEOs, too.

        Also school teachers. Pastors. Cops.

        Let’s add librarians for contrast.

          I have met many, many school teachers in my adult life and the vast majority of them are lovely people. There has only been one who I’d describe as a psychopath.

          Alcoholics? Absolutely. It’s a toss-up between teachers, lawyers and nurses for the hardest-drinking group of motherfuckers I’ve ever known.

            it’s a profession that gives a position of authority over others; and specifically over people who are quite vulnerable.

            You may not have met them, but there are teachers that are psychopaths. Many of those teachers who are also psychopaths might also come off as quite lovely, too.

              I feel like maybe you don’t know any teachers. The fact that you lumped them in with politicians, ceos, and police is, quite frankly, batshit insane
