Chesterton's fence.
I say this purely to foment thought, but think about it, has anyone identified why we even have psychopathy among us? And why many of them are so successful?

As to why they are successful: cooperation is a more successful strategy than individualism, but cheating is a more successful strategy than cooperation if you can get away with it. Our societies have been largely shaped by cheaters for their benefit so they get away with it a lot, right up until the guillotine comes out.
