#2  "About one percent of all people are psychopathic, which amounts to something over three million psychopaths in the USA and perhaps sixteen million among Muslims."

Add another 10% of American citizens on psychotropic meds, and you have a one-in-9 chance of encountering an unbalanced stranger every day.

As you move more politically to DC, I suspect the metric gets logarithmically larger.

#1  FTA: Understanding of psychopathy is lacking
I read a lot of history before I ever studied psychology or psychiatry. You don't have to read a great deal before you can get an understanding. Combine a lack of empathy with greed & I believe that is the foundation of the syndrome.
Psychopaths tend to rise to the top of organizations because of the greed aspect. Organizations with too much psychopathic input tend to be at war with themselves. Look at the west & central Asia for modern examples.
