Thanks for commenting.

People are all psychopaths (investors, alpha males, heroes, villains, altruists, those pretending to be weak and fools, etc.)

Since both psychopathy and altruism are organic phenominon that originate within the human brain, I don't think that everybody is a psychopath, but I do believe that most people have the potential to exhibit psychopathic or altruistic tendencies. According the the N.G. article linked by @valued-customer, a true psychopath could never be an extreme altruist because these traits involve the same areas in the brain, the psychopath being unable to access them while the altruist neurologically floods them.

Healthy people balance self-interest with concern for others. Also, according to the article, in those who are not necessarily brain damaged, access or attenuation of these brain lobes can be learned. In other words, we can become more psychopathic or more altruistic depending on our intent, just as we can learn to read and to write if we practice those skills.

My intent here is to point out that our culture tends to force us in both directions. Some factions implore us to work hard to acquire and therefore surpass our fellow men for our own good, while other factions tell us that we need to give everything we've worked for away to those who are less fortunate for the good of the society.

I don't believe the average Joe, whether he wants a new car or to open the borders to immigration is the problem here. It's those who wish to further their specific control agenda who we need to recognize and resist, not blindly carry their banner forward without careful examination of their, and our own, motives.
