I am curious as to how the construct of IQ applies to all of this, I have been harping for quite some time that there is no difference between stupid people and those who exist on the psychopathy/sociopathy spectrum, the only difference between the two groups are the levels of ambition and motivation.
The one thing that defines them both, however, is a complete lack of situational awareness, or to expand upon that, any concept of others, of potential infallibility, they think that they are Gods, which is why they're so attractive, the confidence they give off is overwhelming, at least until they encounter a garden variety, above-midwit IQ.
I believe one defining characteristic of sociopaths is they are incapable of empathy and probably sympathy, too—though they can simulate it for the benefit of others.
I don’t know if any accurate data exists or would agree with me, but in my experience, most hyper-conformists who accept official narratives and precepts without question are midwits or below. However, there are some outliers who are highly intelligent, but can be just as bovine about certain matters. If they are in positions of influence, it may be safe to presume they are paid off in some way to endorse the Narrative and accompanying precepts. With others, their judgment is likely clouded by pride, internalized trauma, or something else.
Brilliant stuff
Thanks, Centaur.
