It gets interesting 7 minutes into the video.

For some reason it's always seemed like psychology is the toothless science in that observations can be made and nothing get's done about them. While I get that individual liberties are an issue and there could be people with all the neurological hallmarks of psychopathy who turn out perfectly okay it seems like there has to be more use to info like this than 'feeling down? Need help? Come in, we'll tell you what you have and how we can be of service' - which is fine in it's own context but obviously never goes near the types of mental or neurological illnesses where people wouldn't self-report aside from mandatory sessions in jail.

Seems kinda obvious that our society is fragile and we may need to take steps in one way or another to safeguard it better against dark triad influences.

Welcome to the First United Church of Freud. Our hymns today are "Nearer My Mother to Thee", "That Old Rugged Cross-Dresser", and "Rock of Aging Crisis". We will be reading from the book of Neurosis, chapter 12, verses 1 through 17, and the book of Paranoia, all of chapter 13.

(What you described seems so much like church, that I though a good parody was in order. :wink: )

There clearly seems to be a lot more drug and insurance money in that and less risk of having to actually challenge formidable people.
