Body of post:
(v3 = version 3. Thx MUCH for feedback re: v1/v2 bugs.)
Re: 1) links to said praise for my Amazon-/Microsoft-/VC-praised work, 2)
hypersexuality correlates strongly with psychopathy
See below (e.g., via searching for keywords).
Re: THREAT
(This section and several that follow are excerpted from the 166-page pdf [i.e.,
this pdf] at [libgen URL provided in said reddit post].)
Summary (details below)
~77 million psychopaths (Ps) are IMPERILED (4 reasons).
It’s likely that many Ps are aware of 1+ of said reasons (~2.3% of Ps have an IQ
≥ 130; ~16% ≥ 115).
Many/most/all Ps are DANGEROUS.
Worst case: a growing number of Ps are aware that Ps are IMPERILED (PsIMP),
and are resisting (e.g., organizing; coercing; equipping to coerce-via-terrorizing;
partnering with known groups of violent extremists ).
History and logic indicate that said worst-case is likely to be in progress.
Re: said worst-case could explain a large part of Epstein’s life and 100% of
his death/escape
Re: life
Keywords: organizing (e.g., being a banker for Ps’ resistance), coercing (e.g.,
“donations” from non-Ps),
From the August 11, 2019 article in The New York Times titled “Jeffrey Epstein’s
Opaque Finances Could Become Focal Point for Investigators”:
The money . . . would flow among . . . dozens of bank accounts, shell
companies [my emphasis] and, at times, charities linked to high-powered
friends.
From a 2017 report published by the OECD (my emphases):
[T]errorists need ways to raise, move, conceal and spend money. One of
their main means is the use of anonymous “ shell companies ” . . .
From the 2019 article in The Atlantic titled “ Russian-Style Kleptocracy Is
Infiltrating America ” (my emphases):
“Long before suspicion mounted about the loyalties of Donald Trump,
large swaths of the American elite—lawyers, lobbyists, real-estate brokers,
politicians in state capitals who enabled the creation of shell companies —
had already proved themselves to be reliable servants of a rapacious global
plutocracy.”
“If every nation had signed on to the OECD standards, the effect would
have been a hammerblow to . . . the vital infrastructure that allows
kleptocratic money to flow unnoticed. In the end, the United States was
alone in refusing to join the OECD agreement , finalized in 2014. ”
From the August 12, 2019 article in The New York Times titled “ The Day Jeffrey
Epstein Told Me He Had Dirt on Powerful People”:
The overriding impression I took away from our roughly 90-minute
conversation was that Mr. Epstein knew an astonishing number of rich,
famous and powerful people, and had photos to prove it. He also claimed
to know a great deal about these people, some of it potentially damaging or
embarrassing, including details about their supposed sexual proclivities and
recreational drug use.
Re: death/escape
(The below in this section is excerpted from a section further below.)
All told, it seems at least somewhat likely that Epstein’s 2019 arrest/jailing was
preceded by:
● many Ps organizing re: PsIMP
● these Ps knowing that:
A growing number of non-Ps know 1) PsIMP, 2) hypersexuality correlates
. . .
These non-Ps are MINDFUL of the worst-case re: extensive linkages
among people who are 1) (likely to be) hypersexual, 2) (becoming)
wealthy, 3) (very) intelligent.
The more evidence there is of said linkages, the more likely it is that non-
Ps’ worst-case analyses will catalyze efforts that lead to bad/BAD outcomes
for Ps . . .
So if Epstein testified at length re: said linkages (e.g., links among many people
in his black book ) . . .
So Ps could’ve organized to prevent . . .
Re: PsIMP
Summary (some details follow; more below)
Psychopathy is substantially heritable.
Via the burgeoning science of molecular genetics, many/most/all genetic markers
for psychopathy will be identified soon.
There’s been “a rise in calls, particularly in law enforcement, for universal genetic
databases, where everyone’s biometric data is put in one place,” according to a
2019 presentation by a professor of “strategic foresight” who’s an adjunct at the
New York University Stern School of Business.
Said calls by law enforcement can be expected to continue/increase, not least
because:
“[M]ore than 50% of all police officers killed in the line of duty are killed
by psychopaths,” according to a study cited in a 2011 article .
Psychopaths (Ps) comprise ~1% of humans (i.e., ~77M of 7.7B ).
So a P is at least ~50x more likely than a non-P to kill a police officer, all
things being otherwise equal.
Given said identification of markers, the advent of said databases would
IMPERIL Ps.
Keywords re: reason 1: “ predictive policing .”
Re: reason 2: “Indefinite detention” of Ps could/should ensue, according to a
leading psychopathy researcher who’s tenured at the University of Pennsylvania
(i.e., Ps who haven't committed a crime could be imprisoned).
The other 2 reasons Ps are IMPERILED are premised partly on said identification
of markers, but don’t require as a pre-condition said advent of databases.
Keywords re: reasons 3 & 4: BURGEONING sciences of human reproduction;
“ superstar-biased ” technological change; ongoing build-out of “ human-capital ”
markets (e.g., CE [i.e., customized education], gametes ); almost certainly: 1) each
P would be unable to reproduce via gaining access to (top-)quality gametes,
unless s/he coerced; 2) each P with superstar-level ability would suffer very costly
career damage/loss, unless s/he coerced.
Re: reasons 3 & 4
From 2015 international bestseller Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow (my
emphases):
The main products of the twenty-first century will be bodies, brains
and minds , and the gap between those who know how to engineer bodies
and brains and those who do not will be . . . bigger than the gap between
Sapiens and Neanderthals. In the twenty-first century, those who ride the
train of progress will acquire divine abilities of creation and destruction,
while those left behind will face extinction .
From 2016 book The Gene: An Intimate History , by a Pulitzer Prize recipient:
As the political theorist Desmond King puts it, “One way or another, we
are all going to be dragged into the regime of ‘gene management’ that
will, in essence, be eugenic. . . . Genetic change will be managed by the
invisible hand of individual choice [my emphasis], but the overall result
will be the same [as government-run eugenics”] . . .
From 2015 New York Times bestseller Bold: How to Go Big, Create Wealth and
Impact the World (my emphases):
“Exponential progress is now showing up in dozens of arenas: . . .
artificial intelligence, synthetic biology, genomics . . . ”
“[E]xponential technology refers to any technology accelerating on an
exponential growth curve—that is, doubling in power on a regular basis
. . . ”
From Homo Deus (my emphases):
In the early twenty-first century the train of progress is again pulling out of
the station—and this will probably be the last train ever to leave the station
called Homo sapiens . Those who miss this train will never get a second
chance. In order to get a seat on it, you need to understand twenty-first-
century technology, and in particular the powers of biotechnology and
computer algorithms .
From Bold :
“Underestimating the power of exponentials is easy to do. . . . [O]ur brains
. . . were never designed to process at either this scale or this speed.”
“If I take 30 large linear steps (say three feet, or one meter per step) . . . I
end up 30 meters away . . . [If] I take 30 exponential steps from the same
starting point, I end up a billion meters away.”

Re: Ps will be MUCH more dangerous in the years ahead
From the chapter in 2015 book Tomorrowland: Our Journey from Science
Fiction to Science Fact titled “Hacking the President’s DNA,” co-authored by a
former Resident Futurist of the FBI (my emphases):
“Our next commander-in-chief will be our first commander-in-chief to
have to deal with genetically based, made-to-order [i.e., personalized]
biothreats.”
“[S]cientists have discovered exponential growth in dozens and dozens of
technologies. . . . [E]xponential growth is so prevalent, researchers now
suspect it underpins all information-based technologies—that is, any
technology (like a computer) used to input, store, process, retrieve and
transmit digital information—and this includes biology . . . .
. . . Within a few years, politicians, celebrities, leaders of industry . . . will
be vulnerable to murder by genetically engineered bioweapon. Many such
killings could go undetected, confused with death by natural causes; many
others would be difficult to pin on a defendant, especially given disease
latency. Both of these factors are likely to make personalized bioweapons
extremely attractive to anyone bearing ill will.”
. . . Re: reasons 3 & 4
Summary (details below)
In the years ahead:
● the cost of conceiving a child via buying a top-quality gamete will decrease
steadily/rapidly (e.g., soon all women with health insurance will be able to
afford in vitro fertilization and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis)
● superstar-biased technological change (SBTC) will continue to be rapid
and to accelerate rapidly
● buying a top-quality gamete will be the best way for most individuals to
co-conceive a child who can thrive amid SBTC (i.e., a buyer’s child
would receive half of his/her DNA from the buyer and half from the seller)
● scientists and technologists will continue to produce aids to child
development (i.e., help for (single) parents)
As demand for top-quality gametes increases, demand for indicators of gamete
quality will increase. In particular, demand for better indicators of learning ability.
TOP indicators of learning ability will take shape via the ongoing build-out of
human-capital markets (e.g., CE).
Via the above in this section, there’ll be UPSIDE for all non-Ps: for some, $ via
selling one’s gametes; for all, access to top-quality gametes; etc.
Implications of this upside: Many/most people will soon be active in human-
capital markets; many/most of these people will be active on a (near-)daily basis.
Via this activity:
Each P will be unable to reproduce via gaining access to (top-)quality
gametes, unless s/he coerces.
Each P with superstar-level ability will suffer very costly career damage/
loss, unless s/he coerces.

Re: Ps are DANGEROUS
From 2011 book The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness
Industry :
[“]She said, ‘I’ve got a bad personality. I like to hurt people.’ I thought she
was winding me up. I said, ‘Okay, fine.’ So we went through the [fMRI]
tests [i.e., brain scans]. When she was looking at the photographs of the
mutilated bodies, the sensors showed that she was getting a kick off of
them. Her sexual reward center—it’s a sexual thing—was fired up by blood
and death. It’s subconscious. It happens in milliseconds. She found those
things pleasant .”
. . . Each P who isn’t imprisoned will eventually have nothing to lose from
becoming a terrorist (e.g., after being diagnosed with a terminal illness).
From 2015 book Future Crimes , by said former Resident Futurist of the FBI:
Drones, as the military has shown us, can also be used in highly targeted
ways against particular individuals, whether for personal revenge, criminal
attack, or terrorism. We’re already starting to see high-profile people come
under assault in both strange and dangerous ways. In late 2013, Chancellor
Angela Merkel of Germany found herself under drone attack during a
campaign rally in Dresden.
. . . [P]ernicious payloads can be loaded on board UAVs [i.e., unmanned
aerial vehicles, a.k.a. drones] as well, including explosives and even
weapons of mass destruction, such as a biological, chemical, or radiological
weapon. . . . Al-Qaeda, Lashkare-Taiba, and numerous other terrorist
organizations already have active drone development programs.
. . . Re: history and logic indicate that said worst-case is likely to be in
progress
From a 2018 book by a professor of international relations at the U.S. Military
Academy at West Point:
The allure of preventive war is rooted in fear . . . [F]ear is most acute when
power is shifting among states [i.e., groups]. This is particularly true for
those that see their relative power in decline as a rising challenger enjoys
increasing strength.
. . . [A]s the declining state watches its power erode, fear of the future
grows.
. . . The strategic logic of preventive military action is simple: The
objective is to physically destroy or neutralize the rival’s growing offensive
capabilities with a first strike or by coaxing war, at an early stage in the
power shift, before the rival is potent enough to pose the threat that haunts
your visions of the future.
. . . [Hence] that long parade of preventive conflicts we can observe over
thousands of years of history.

From 2001 book Killing Pablo [Escobar]: The Hunt for the World’s Greatest
Outlaw :
“[Pablo Escobar] intended, he said, to use the public’s weariness with
[Escobar-funded] violence to his benefit. He planned to turn up the
violence until the public cried out for a solution, a deal.
