A great article by Rob Kall- thoughtful, reads like a conversation. He asks some good questions, shares some great info, and poses a great idea: I believe that the damage to our culture, social and ecological justice and to the planet and to individuals is massive. Yet, outrageously, its been estimated that the budget for research on psychopaths is under $20 million a year. Ive come to believe that we need to engage in a major project, on the scale of the Manhattan and Apollo projects, to study e tiology, neuroscience, identification and prevention of hurt and damage by these predators. (Im going to refer to the group-- psychopaths, sociopaths and narcissists-- as predators.) While my interest in sociopaths began several years ago, it really took off last year. Ive also been thinking about, writing about and interviewing about what I believe is a bottom-up revolution-- a transition from top-down culture to bottom-up culture, catalyzed by the internet and smart phone technologies. Bottom-up cultures and behaviors are non-hierarchical, decentralized, interdependent, cooperative, participatory, egalitarian, many-to-many, diverse, non-linear, anti-fragile and grassroots, to name a few of the aspects.
