“It is shocking to me that our societies spend hundreds of millions of pounds researching definitions of ‘psychopath’ and ‘sociopath’, creating institutions to house such inmates, to protect the public from these violent offenders, yet almost nothing on investigating the psychology that leads to organisational killing. An individual psychopath, if free, and if factors combine to trigger attacks, might kill five or six times in their life; a government or an oil company can carpet-bomb cities, killing thousands, or wipe out the ecology of an entire region. And then do it again. And again. Seemingly with impunity.”
