    It sounds like you’re really pessimistic regarding humans and their systems.

    Are you in a friend group that rewards psychopaths and rapists? Have you entered relationships where psychopaths and rapists have been rewarded? If so, do you know about scaled evolutionary approaches, and how it’s a good idea to join groups where your own incentives are aligned with that of the group? Do you know about the Duluth Model and CBT’s 5% reduction in recidivism of abuse, as well as ACT’s 30 to 70% reductions in recidivism of abuse (depending on whether people join voluntarily or not)?

    Those systems (the Duluth Model, CBT, and especially ACT) are not rewarding psychopaths. They are transforming people into reflexive and non-abusive people.
