There is no evidence that psychopathy is determined by a gene. Like most human traits, the environment makes a bigger impact on outcomes. Until we as a society/species stop rewarding psychopathy , things will keep ending up here. Genetics are irrelevant. However I do agree that capitalism cannot work. It is inevitable destruction. Also pretty sure capitalism wasn't the structure during French revolution. Wasn't it serfdom ? I mean. That's almost the same. But yeah.

Oh, I thought you were referring to physical disabilities, like all Down-syndrome people, etc. Well, I've never read of a sociopath who had said, "I was raised in a normal family." I thought this was a really interesting read: > The gene loaded the gun, but the environment pulled the trigger. > This gene-environment interaction helps explain why two siblings with similar genetics can turn out very differently. The child who experiences abuse or neglect while carrying a susceptibility gene faces compounding risk, while the sibling who grows up in a safer environment may never express those traits at all. \- https://scienceinsights.org/is-sociopathy-genetic-nature-nurture-and-the-brain/
