Sometimes They Are More Than Stupid

The real question that the theory of psychological homogeneity raises is this: Is someone clearly pathological in one area of his life capable in other areas? Can a man like Ted Bundy be trusted driving a car or baking bread? Is a serial rapist otherwise a good neighbor?

Is it dangerous to have a sexually depraved man like the IMF chief in control of international money decisions? Is the financial chaos in the world a function of the underlying pathology of the decision makers?

More, do you become a faithless, arrogant, bullying creep when you become rich and powerful or do those traits help you become rich and powerful? If women become rich and powerful, do they act the same?
