    This is why we really need to rethink the value of having any state at all. States need those tools and information to best serve its constituents, yet when it gets it, sociopaths immediately take it over and use it for evil ends.

    Our problem isn’t really a governmental one, it’s an evolutionary one, but because of it it’s impossible to have any kind of a functional government.

    Maybe we ought to have a general AI run everything.

        This is true.

        So we’re left with the original question: what system can we build that’s sociopath proof, and if we truly can’t, when do we get rid of the sociopaths?

        Because we can’t continue allowing them to dominate us.
