    Sociopaths are more successful period. Wasn’t there studies showing basically all big companies CEOs are?

      That sounds a bigger indictment towards the American capitalist system; Because the same way a military induction program evolves to create the perfect sociopath to be a soldier; Capitalism as a sociopathic system might be creating broken subjects to do it’s bidding!

      Depends on how you define success. Success in capitalism requires viewing people, nature, everything as a resource to be extracted and turned into profit, which is difficult to do if you have empathy.

      If you define success as creating a loving and nurturing environment for children, respecting nature, and leaving the world better for the next generation, then sociopaths fail miserably.
