The Psychology of Psychopaths

Psychopaths are described as human predators who manipulate, lie, and harm others without remorse. Experts like Robert Hare estimate that psychopaths make up a small percentage of the population, but they are disproportionately found in corporate and political spheres. The absence of conscience and empathy in psychopaths is highlighted as a key feature, leading them to exploit others for personal gain. Despite some high-profile psychopathic criminals, most psychopaths engage in more covert harmful behaviors, such as family abuse, manipulation, and deceit.
