The argument is an interesting one. The upper classes who become our leaders send their children to boarding schools. A result of this is to cut off from one's emotions - and those of others - a system psychopathy. This allows these leaders to make decisions about others - I would strongly argue that the Tories now actually cannot understand the damage they are doing to ordinary and disabled people because of austerity. Other schools using similar methods does not actually justify anything.
We really need to ask if we need our leaders to be damaged.
We really need evidence before accusing hundreds of thousands or millions of people of psychopathy.
I grew up in a boarding school from the age of 7, I'm no expert but I'm reasonably sure I'm not a sufferer of psychopathy. I might be a black swan though.
