Source refs: `video:interview-vvj4mxqu2qk@transcript:v1#seg-0056` - model: Jiang argues that corporations are structurally psychopathic because they pursue profit without regard for human beings or the environment, so people who rise within them tend to mirror that logic. Source refs: `video:interview-xcdhfrp4wyi@transcript:v1#seg-0088` - model: Jiang argues that in older small-scale communities psychopaths were easier to identify and punish because social life was close-knit and ostracism or banishment carried existential consequences. Source refs: `video:interview-xcdhfrp4wyi@transcript:v1#seg-0089` - model: Jiang says mass society and bureaucracy favor psychopaths because large impersonal systems reward secrecy, lying, deception, and manipulation more than close communities do. Source refs: `video:interview-xcdhfrp4wyi@transcript:v1#seg-0090` - diagnosis: Jiang extends the psychopathy diagnosis to prominent modern leaders, arguing that charisma and respectability do not cancel out psychopathic behavior in elite politics. Source refs: `video:interview-xcdhfrp4wyi@transcript:v1#seg-0090`, `video:interview-xcdhfrp4wyi@transcript:v1#seg-0091` - model: Jiang says there is a direct correlation between the size of a society and how far psychopaths can rise within it, with smaller societies screening them out more effectively than large states such as America or China. Source refs: `video:interview-xcdhfrp4wyi@transcript:v1#seg-0093` - prediction: Jiang predicts that after this contraction societies will be forced toward greater compassion, responsibility, resilience, and local accountability, which in turn will screen out psychopaths more effectively.

For live/current events, first check /episodes/ and /interviews/ for newer event-specific readings.
