Yea, every 5-6 years it seems like someone within a few degrees of separation from me gets arrested for some pedo shit. It makes it hard to trust anyone. This year there were two. It’s fucking terrifying.
It’s almost like you don’t hear about people in other classes because unless they commit some particularly heinous instance or attack a large number of kids, that shit is basically reported on once and forgotten.
Having power has been shown to reduce your brain’s capacity for empathy. Neurologically, the rich actually are more capable of evil than normal people.
I think you might have it backwards. An empathy deficit (sociopathy) is highly correlated with the C-suite. It’s not that sociopathy makes a person a better leader. It doesn’t. It’s more that a person with dark triad traits isn’t going to care who they step on or what lines they cross to get there.
So selection bias, basically. Leaders aren’t always sociopaths but sociopaths are more likely to be in leadership roles due to their lack of concern for the means that get them to their end.
And having no empathy makes it more enjoyable to fuck people over to become rich. Maybe not a consideration for royals who were born into wealth, but certainly a factor in the circles they move in.
Why are there so many pedos among the rich
There’s a decent number of pedos among all classes, but the rich ones can get away with it easier

I think it’s a power thing. If sex is perceived as a power thing, than what’s the most vagrant display of power? I’d argue child sex slave
Yes, but probably flagrant not vagrant.

In other words, they were already screwed up.
