Scientific Study: Many of our “Leaders” are Insane

Wall Street Protesters, it is not only OK to push back, but probably a very ‘sane’ thing to do.  When the insane have taken over the asylum, it is time to act.

A recent study from Switzerland’s University of St. Gallen shows that the most successful of the global financial elite probably pose more of a menace to society than known psychopaths.

As the website Newser reported, the researchers “pitted a group of stockbrokers against a group of actual psychopaths in various computer simulations and intelligence tests and found that the money men were significantly more reckless, competitive, and manipulative.” Even more striking, the researchers note that achieving overall success was less important to the stock speculators than the sadistic drive “to damage their opponents.”

“with the right parenting, (psychopaths) can become successful stockbrokers instead of serial killers.”

Great.  I guess now when a stockbroker wants a career change, he/she knows what will fit well with their personalities.

In 2004, the award-winning documentary “The Corporation” used World Health Organization metrics (questionnaires)  to show that if companies really are “people,” as our Supreme Court insists, then many of them are mentally ill.

So if you have been feeling kind of paranoid lately, like the elites in our country are out to get you, you are probably right.

Rock on Occupy Wall Street.  Let’s get the crazies back in the asylum.
