Being a sociopath doesn't make you a billionaire but being a billionaire makes you a sociopath.
Solving our mental health problem won't prevent billionaires from existing.
Making excuses for billionaires isn't a mental health issue, it's an intelligence issue.
I'm not suggesting solving all our mental health problems will stop billionaires from existing (though in truth, class disparity creating the stressors it does would definitely make stopping billionaires help population mental health), nor am I suggesting that billionaires should get any sort of excuse. I am pointing out how people in abusive class positions (i.e. billionaires) can still be high-empathy people, and how sociopath literally isn't a diagnosis anymore. I believe you are having a reading comprehension issue.
No. There are no "high empathy" billionaires. There are most certainly still people diagnosied with sociopathy.
I don't know why you feel the need to make such baseless arguments, blaming it on my reading comprehension is doesn't seem to fit. I'm reading you fine, I'm simply calling bullshit.
Didn't say it would. I have no idea where you pulled this from.
I alsi wasn't giving any slack to billionaires. I also have no idea where you pulled this from.
Both of the above statements from you imply you either didn't read my comment or understand what it said, primarily because they feel like arguments intended for an entirely different comment. Please tell me how I can best rephrase it if I communicated my ideas unclearly at all.
Also, please refer me to the part of the DSM-5 where it lists "sociopath" as a possible diagnosis.
