Right, and they have to lead.
They have to lead large groups of people, so they can't afford to do it.
What you'll find is that some of the most visionary entrepreneurs who have FU money and power, they can be and often are.
Doesn't matter because they're so brilliant.
Now, they are successful in spite of those characteristics, not because of those characteristics.
Now, politicians can be successful because of those characteristics, because they wield a weapon that people on their side like against their enemies.
And so you'll find in a highly polarized, politically polarized and populist environment, like we have on both right and left, you're going to tend to see hardcore populist right-wing and left-wing politicians coming out of the dark triad.
Why?
Nobody likes bullies, but you don't even like bullies on your side, but you sure like what bullies do to your enemies.
And so they will use it.
So what you'll find is that politically, voters will use dark triads and then throw them away.
And that's what ultimately is going to happen in our current environment.
Yeah, I agree.
They like some of it, but it's too dark.
They'll mess up our country in the meantime.
And by the way, this is not a partisan point.
No.
Because when I look at this hardcore right wing, hardcore left wing, you listen to both of them and it's like, this is pathology.
Because they do even better if they're great people.
If they have these unbelievably visionary qualities and they're great people.
