Okay, so let's lay down some theses and tell me what you think of them. So the first is that about 4% to 5% of the population, maybe more, has dark tetrad cluster B traits to some significant degree. And so that was histrionic, narcissistic, antisocial, and psychopathic. That's the cluster B cluster. Whether those are psychopathologies, like illnesses, that's a matter of dispute.

They're certainly forms of severe... social misbehavior, manipulative social misbehavior. And people who fall into those categories will use cries of victimization to parasitize. So they're parasitizing on empathy, that's one hallmark. They have disordered interpersonal relationships, often very intense. They're predatory, particularly the antisocial types.

That's more straight, repetitive criminals. Very stable pattern of behavior. So let's say 4% to 5%. It's probably increased because of the net. That would be my guess because it's not well regulated on the net because most of our evolved mechanisms for dealing with such people don't work.
