It’s worse. Certain economic and social systems are designed to make the only viable, or most viable, survival strategy to be a sociopath or worse. Most people are forced to cosplay that at some level in these systems, whether they have those traits naturally or not, in order to survive. And despite human nature being communal, it’s more powerful in survival adaptation.
I’m morbidly curious as to when you think capitalism started, considering your take here :V
Hint: it was fire
That’s not the problem. The problem isn’t the people willing to exploit the system. They’re the sociopaths in question that capitalism is designed to help succeed.
The problem is, everyone else has to cosplay them in order to survive. And human nature, despite being communal, is more powerful than that in only one way; survival adaptation.
Our species will adapt as hard as it has to in order to survive, no matter what.
In a capitalist system (mind you, societal as well as economic, socialism strapped capitalism might actually work very well), because the best survival strategy is to be a sociopath or worse, most people will be forced to do so to at least some level.
Change the system, change the outcome.
It’s almost like capitalism is designed to make sociopathy the more successful survival strategy

Everybody else? Roll for Initiative.
With a loss of people like that, The Escapist is dead too.
The pro gamer move would be to pick up the Zero Punctuation rights at auction.
I recommend Chromium Ungoogled if you can’t let go of the Chromium ecosystem for some reason. It’s an open source fork of Chromium and puts pretty much all the power in the users’ hands, so much so that to get certain features to even work you have to configure it. It is also fully compatible with the Chrome app store, if you want it to be.

Unfortunately your “literature backed” perspective is either outdated or willfully wrong. Please, for both our sakes, engage in an effort to keep up to date with medical and psychological research, especially regarding Plurality as this is an ever evolving and intriguing field.
Because you’ve made so many comments on this, I’m just going to throw all my responses here.
Firstly; the brain IS “designed” to run many different parts individually, with random access at any one point. It is a incredibly powerful multithreading processor; it’s just normally not running multiple people. And while there’s currently no decent study on running multiple people in parallel, that’s not really what’s going on; just like RAM swaps in a computer, it’s merely extremely fast swapping, which from the inside looks like parallel existence. The distinction is difficult to notice and must be studied in situ and on the ground, so to speak. Get back to me once you’ve done that, kay? 😉
Conditions like DID usually have side effects because the swapping is traumatic, both emotionally and for the brain executing the action, physically. It’s not a set of conditions borne from normal brain operation. Additionally, it’s usually a fracturing of a single person into many fragments of them, none of which is a full person on their own. Non DID plurality does not have that problem, provided it’s done correctly.
There are, just as in many communities on the Internet, toxic sides and those who operate based on fact. I’m sorry that you stumbled into the mystical side of plurality, the one obsessed with the word Tulpa and everything that it entails.
If you’re still willing to learn new things and accept that science isn’t static, the side JCT belongs to is probably willing to teach you.
However, it may not be mentally healthy for you to consider this. That’s okay! You don’t have to. Everyone should do what exactly what is mentally healthy for them. That includes you. And, if that means not considering plurality any further, then you should go right ahead and do that.
I’ve been having trouble understanding how the docker-compose thing works, and the whole… impermanence of docker containers. Got any tutorials you’d recommend? Note I’m on Windows.
As I already said, we’re not going to be able to get rid of the sociopaths. It’s a mental disorder, by chance and or trauma. They’ll always be with us, barring some genetic engineering that borders on eugenics. That’s not the point.
The point is to make them the minority, and have a system where everyone isn’t forced to act like them in order to succeed.
I’ve already stated a potential option. Capitalism on its own is technically a purely neutral economic system, provided it’s ONLY the economic system. We have expanded that system into our society as well, and that’s when it becomes toxic.
Use a capitalist economy, but strapped and locked down by socialist (true socialist, not the USSR or communist) principles and systems. Ensure that if capitalism has social effects, they’re extremely minor, and elevate the good of people above that of capital. Socialism Strapped Capitalism.
Good inroads to this are things like UBI, a maximum income, and ensuring social and environmental effects are included in corporate financial calculations.
