The only way I'd watch Tucker Carlson on purpose is in a cage fight with Mike Tyson. Pay-per-view is fine, but I'll travel if I have to.

I used to live there a long time ago. It wasn't terribly stable then. It's sad that it's only gotten worse. It's a beautiful place, with some of the kindest people I've ever known. I hope they find a way out of this.

Sociologists call it anomie.

I think you might have it backwards. An empathy deficit (sociopathy) is highly correlated with the C-suite. It's not that sociopathy makes a person a better leader. It doesn't. It's more that a person with dark triad traits isn't going to care who they step on or what lines they cross to get there.

In other words, they were already screwed up.
