Ya. To me, these guides are just describing the human condition. Struggling for an analogy here. We're basically stuck at the bottom of a sand dune. Irrational at the bottom, more rational as you get higher. Gravity always. Ever more sand being added at the top. Being "smarter" takes a lot of effort. Few of us have the training, experience, or excess energy to do so consistently or well. Maybe sociopathy is just weaponized irrationality, somehow exploiting these universal weaknesses, knowingly or not.
