Objectively speaking why do we need psychopathic/sociopathic/ASPD people in the gene pool?

Think about it:
> 20% of prison inmates are psychopaths, 50% of the violent crimes are from psychopaths
>There's historic evidence that a single individual in a position of power can cause extreme damage to those hierarchically below them (not to say to society as a whole): Hitler, Stalin, Enron CEO, Jim Jones, Saddam Hussein, etc.
> Not all psychopaths are serial-killers, but all serial killers are psychopaths
> The consequences of having no remorse, makes them unable to learn adequate behaviours from their mistakes or by punishment, yielding therapy
> Psychopaths given counseling are 10% more likely to engage in antisocial behaviour.

Interesting, let's say for the sake of the argument that UN decides to make critical thinking a must to have in basic education. They probably reach to a similar conclusion than me at some point in their lives, because it's not about apathy in the sense of "I guess if they aren't doing nothing to me I can safely not care", but rather in the fact that we're currently in a time where technology (such as nuclear power, internet, ai, etc.) can really pose a threat to ourselves by falling in the wrong hands. And while we could setup legal frameworks to avoid certain things, in the end, with enough work they can always be circumvented.

I ask this question because it deeply troubles me that it seems highly rational and pragmatic to just, vanish them from future generations.

We can try to put what came out of Pandoras Box back in, but it will cost almost as many lives as keeping them out if not properly conceived.

I know this is going to sound incredibly cheesy and very stupid, but I will say it anyway, because it is true. It is about pathos. When you have a car, you drive it only where you want it to go, if you aim it somewhere else, you will crash there. You must have a steely gaze on a better position or you will not get it. This is also where pathos meets logos.

The steps taken towards the goal will be hard, but achievable. Visualization is key, pursuit is secondary.

No shit, this is what being in a position of power means. The solution to this is to provide an incentive to those in positions of power to act just. You get a corrupt politician? Execute him or her for disobeying the trust his or her people granted him or her. Even psychopaths will act just in then, because they do not want to die.

>Not all psychopaths are serial-killers, but all serial killers are psychopaths
Most serial killers are probably psychopaths, but psychopathy does not produce serial killers. Serial killers are produced by a cocktail of mental illnesses and environmental factors.

>The consequences of having no remorse, makes them unable to learn adequate behaviours from their mistakes or by punishment, yielding therapy
Completely false. Being locked up is just as boring for a psychopath as it is for you. A psychopath is simply a machine that calculates risk vs reward for everything without letting emotions getting in the way. Just get better at convicting criminals, and you will end up with less crimes commited by psychopaths.

Psychopathy is purely the inability to feel empathy. This does not, by default, make them evil, it only allows them to more easily act evil in scenarios where they would benefit from doing so.

As to their benefit? They are great warriors. They are doctors that do not operate more poorly when under great stress, leading to more saved lives. They are judges that do not let emotions dictate their sentences.

Psychopaths do well in positions where they are rewarded well, stress is great, and rationality is valued moreso than emotions.

The people do. You allow the people to vote at any time to execute a member of government. The specifics of this voting would have to be worked out more, but basically, the military is under order to never permit the stoppage of this voting. The military is under order to kill the politicians that the votes demand. No politician can ever change these orders. The ability to cast this vote would be as essential as money.

Humans are a lot like chimps, and sociopaths just have an alpha chimp complex. They don't care very much about other people because they are meant to be leaders not servers. They are meant to dominate all the rest.
Alpha chimps will easily kill other chimps that they do not know or think pose a risk.
Often the killing is to protect their reproduction so that other males form foreign tribes can't bred with their females.
Alpha chimps tend to be stronger, more masculine, and much more intelligent than the rest.

All three branches of government can be bribed at once, enabling a corrupt bill to be decreed without any opposition from any branch. However, if decreeing a corrupt bills gets you killed, then politicians will not decree corrupt bills, because you cannot put a price on your life.
>monkey see monkey do. if you don't think humanity is that stupid i'm giving you way too much credit.
It is evident that I am only talking about corporal punishment of politicians.

A species doesn't "need" a certain kind of individual for that individual's traits to prosper fitness-wise. Psychos exist because they can operate and take advantage of natural human in-group traits like empathy/sympathy, charity, and trust. Psychos have thrived in this environment because there are just enough of them so as to not totally fuck with the harmony and balance of human society, which is still much bigger than them and their impact.

Psychopathy, not in the sense of psychotically harming others for fun but rather not having the wall of empathy that prevents you from doing it when the need to do so arises, is very beneficial in a world where all that matters is whether you and your kids survive with everyone who fails at this simply disappearing from the gene pool. The modern society provides you with most of the security you'll ever need to protect yourself and your genes but there are still cases when psychopathy will become a highly-promoted trait, such as when this society collapses and the world becomes an elitist shithole where only the best float out of the event horizon of having nothing, not even basic security, with psychopaths being literally born for this specific environment. Every such crisis of humanity throws regular people to the back of the reproduction queue (if they even survive in the first place) and crowns psychopaths as the type of person that everyone would want to reproduce with as they now possess a status that's much higher than the average of the normal empathetic human. It's also funny seeing feminists constantly blame men for having so many psychopaths within us, but it is not us who pat them on their backs and suck their dicks dry when the crisis comes while shunning the good guys as pathetic spineless betas who'll never be able to protect them.

Psychopathy has nothing to do with genes, it's an environment based acquired trait.

Wrong. For every successful psycho who brings us forward just because they manage to find a niche where they're genuinely valuable, there are tens of thousands of leeches, scammers, rapists, murderers, and just generally unpleasant people who get little done. Keeping psychos around has only ever hurt us on average. Exterminating them would massively improve our ability to increase societal trust, which is more important for productivity than anything an abusive psycho could force out of people.

Thats natures way of saying your individual life doesn't matter, as long as the Species survives and thrives. And if enough shit goes wrong the Species dies out too

Which is why morality that IS taught is forcing us to live artifical lives, which is killing us

Like the people ITT talking about killing Germans because of their fight against the Jews. People will justify killing and genocide if the government/media/academia says its cool to kill one group of people, but call you a psychopath if you say it about another. Human nature is funny
