Yes - Psychopathy is a thing, last time I researched, in the CEO territory.

I assume it is selected for.

I assume it benefits those at the tippy-top of the western corporate structure.

They make more money, taking advantage of situations that squish other people, in my view more quickly than those with fewer pathologies. In my personal experience they seem to be tacitly accepted by boards & investors. I understand "maximizing profits" is the job.

Not a new thing.
