Compassion, empathy, seeing yourself in others, this is the critical foundation of anarchy—the necessary premise to even think of a world without rulership. Sociopaths cannot grasp this.

Short answer: I have strong reasons to believe that sociopathy is largely excluded at high values of intelligence/reflection/etc. See the linked piece on ontological update crises and cognitive architecture for a teaser.
