"How StarTrek Explains..." SOCIOPATHS
"Why is the sociopath so charismatic? Why are good people vulnerable..? Why do sociopathic leaders rise to power throughout history, despite the toll they inflict? How can their excesses and influence be contained?"
"In "Mirror, Mirror," the normal Kirk, realizing he has entered a barbaric parallel world, is able to impersonate a barbarian long enough to save himself and his shipmates. In our own universe, meanwhile, Kirk's corrupt counterpart cannot fake values like empathy, trust, and fair play, and quickly finds himself locked in the brig. The sociopath may be charismatic, wily, and manipulative, but he lacks the moral depth and imagination to fool people who do not wish to be fooled."
(Context/Point has NOTHING to do with Trump or any other politician as original Reason article happened to be titled, just seemed VERY poignant to recent events and bitcoin historically)
