    “the only realistic way to win is through sociopathy”

    I don’t think these people are playing at sociopathy, I think they actually are sociopaths and have embraced it; I don’t make this as a dig at people suffering from sociopathy, I mean that these people are also sociopaths and rather than try to overcome it have embraced it instead as something that’s given them wealth and power.

      To be fair. It seems like a skill than can be developed. I have not partied with alot of upper class people. The ones i have treat exploitation and domination as a game or a virtue. They are brought up trained in it. The way we treat sharing as a virtue because it helps us survive, that helps them survive. Plus they do way too many drugs. So that has to help the process.
