Comment: Political Ponerology is a seminal book that describes what is quite probably THE great problem of our time.
Self-absorption in all its forms kills empathy, let alone compassion.

From everything I have read about pychopaths they all seem to have one element in common: they treat life and their experiences as a computer simulation such that conscience becomes irrelevant.
I am curious to know what you have read on this topic?
Now certainly we are capable of convincing ourselves we understand how psychopaths think. But we fail over and over again at that task, as any psychopath can demonstrate readily.
What if a psychopath were to suddenly gain a conscience? How do you know it wouldn't destroy them completely? Or that they wouldn't just use it to continue to become even more evil?
Maybe psychopaths are cleverer than most people and they have a vision of the direction in which they are leading to. Conscience is particularly relevant in an ordered gathering of people (and for ascension).
The psychopaths are those who piggyback on the conscience of others to get what they want. Odd how this seems to lead to social order and social cohesion.
People are being desensitised to observing unpleasant experiences. The norms of behaviour shift accordingly.
It is many ways impossible to sustain the same level of happiness, the general goal to oscillate between sombre and ecstatic upon a reasonable basis, not too sharp, not too sudden but a controlled drift from one to another based upon activity. Think of the balance between exercise and eating, insufficient exercise leads to poor health, excessive eating leads to poor health and poor health is pretty miserable, not desirable at all.
Something to bear in mind about more or less happy, start really low and although they can be more happy and derive satisfaction from it, others might consider that more happy, to be extremely unhappy, think self harm and abuse, start low enough for long enough and extremely bad outcomes are still an improvement.
So balance your happiness, plan ahead to serve it and respect the happiness of others, unless the people you make more unhappy, make you more unhappy in turn as a direct result of you ill planned actions.
Care and share in the wonder, joy and understanding of life.
Something that's also worth a thought: How long do the sheep think a small number of sheep dogs are going to defend them for, if they're not prepared to put in the effort to learn to defend themselves?
Nevertheless it is still not a motto I would pass on to any child whilst trying to educate them to live conscientiously and harmoniously in a community.
and who votes?
Seems apparent to me from your comment that the answer to this question is no, but i will ask anyway. Have you actually read anything on the topic? Many, for different reasons. Some hoping to maintain the status quo, others hoping to change things for the better, whether deluded or not, doesn't make one a psychopath. That seems rather simplistic.
Have you ever voted?
they are all greedy with power, in a way this world is full of them, we could be those also!!
Not all politicians are greedy power seekers either. Most probably believe they are doing the right thing, serving the community, etc. Whether the knowledge is present is another matter also! Undeniably politics, as other fields do attract psychopaths. But to categorically label all of them psychopaths is misleading, and lazy, imho. We live in a world that is pathological, so its rather difficult, if not impossible not to get through life without some damage.
There is some really good books on this topic that are very much worthwhile reading.
Without conscience by Dr Robert Hare.
Snakes in Suits by Dr Robert Hare & Paul Babiak.

Political Ponerology by Andrew Lobaczewski.
9-11 The Ultimate Truth by Laura Knight Jadczyk & Joe Quinn.
