I was banned from Reddit for saying that we needed to wipe psychopathy from the gene pool, in yet another exhausting example of how it's more important to never do anything wrong than it is to do something right. So here we are... The human species is on a path to failure, with a chance of nuclear missiles falling soon. The next Winter might never end, but I'm glad the virtue signalers kept me from offending people

Replace psychopathy with autism and you have RFK Jr.

You're a fucking Nazi and you don't even realise.

It's not just that, it's also that psychopaths are the subset of people who'd do such things. How do you make them remove themselves?

By doing it before birth with genetic testing. Only 50% are socialized psychopaths. However, then we'd still have the other 50% left.

That's usually hereditary and the parents won't want such action.

The point is to correct it, not to abort.

Well, the majority hates autists more than narcissists and will probably approach that task first, so that people like me wouldn't exist. And it still hasn't. So this is a very remote possibility.
