[GPSCC-chat] "Stopping the Insanity"

[Gerry Gras]

I think this is well worth reading.

"Stopping the Insanity"

"Now comes a new study from Switzerland's University of St. Gallen
showing that the most successful of the global financial elite probably
pose more of a menace to society than known psychopaths."

"As the website Newser reported, the researchers "pitted a group of
stockbrokers against a group of actual psychopaths in various computer
simulations and intelligence tests and found that the money men were
significantly more reckless, competitive, and manipulative." Even more
striking, the researchers note that achieving overall success was less
important to the stock speculators than the sadistic drive "to damage
their opponents.""
