The Psychopath Doctrine

Why do psychopaths run the world? Is it merely their thirst for power, or do they understand something deeper about human nature? For centuries, we have tried to explain power through morality, reason, and truth. The ruling class has a different theory. People do not follow truth. They follow meaning. And meaning begins with fear. Fear of failure. Fear of insignificance. Fear of exclusion. Fear of death. Courtesy of the ruling class, The Psychopath Creed is a subversive instruction manual on turning fear into meaning, and meaning into power. Their methods are deceptively elegant: * Leadership: Harness fear of change to capture the imagination. * Language: Use empathy to make people crave your presence. * Ideology: Channel the search for meaning into devotion. * Hypocrisy: Turn contradiction into charisma. * Success: Campaign for people’s egos and become their hero. * Hardship: Mythologize adversity to make others fight for you. * Freedom: Give people the feeling of autonomy, and they will give you the world. These are concise principles for the daily exercise of power. See modern society through the eyes of those who run it, and put their understanding of human nature to work in your own life. Fear is good. Welcome to the creed.
