Scott contrasts his analysis with my Geeks, MOPs, and Sociopaths model (which I mostly stole from ). He doesn’t see the sociopaths. The comment section on his essay includes many people pointing to sociopathic destruction of various subcultures—crypto is a common example.

So I read this essay and - I am not trying to insult anyone here - but the reason the author does not see sociopaths is because what he describes is itself the modus operandi of a sociopath: he sees everything as a competition for status.

not sure what you guys are talking about... your implied definition of sociopath appears to have drifted enough in the 2-3 indirections here that it has no real relationship with mine my usage is in terms of being *out* of status games and being able to program them for others
