Summary

The article discusses the lack of mechanisms to prevent dangerous individuals from attaining and abusing positions of power, with a focus on the destructive potential of narcissists, psychopaths, and sociopaths.

Abstract

The piece titled "WAR AND PEACE" addresses a significant societal issue: the absence of safeguards to ensure that individuals who pose a threat to global security are barred from influential positions. It emphasizes the necessity for tools and systems that can protect society from the harmful actions of leaders with severe personality disorders, such as narcissism, psychopathy, and sociopathy. The author, Øivind H. Solheim, uses the example of the conflict in the suburb of Borodyanka outside Kyiv to illustrate the dire consequences of such leaders' actions. Solheim, a Norwegian novelist and nature photographer, advocates for a more robust framework to prevent those capable of causing widespread destruction from gaining power.

The most dangerous dysfunction with the world and things as they work today

is that no one has taken care to create mechanisms and schemes

that guarantee the world that dangerous men are removed from powerful positions before they have the opportunity to cause great destruction.

The world needs tools that can secure us against the destructive actions of crazy men in powerful positions (read: narcissists, psychopaths, sociopaths).
