Side effects of a transparent society: In a transparent society psychopaths will have no where to hide
The side effect many people are discussing with regard to a transparent society is that greater transparency over time will eventually expose all psychopaths. In one of my previous posts, I posted about how typically in centralized hierarchical pyramid style organizations the psychopaths tend to thrive. It is also true that extreme levels of privacy also benefits psychopaths. The question is what will society do once all psychopaths are easily identified? Will we begin to see widespread discrimination? This post will discuss a potential impact of a transparent and open society on the psychopaths among us.
Will psychopaths be exposed in privacy free flat decentralized networks?
Different industries are suspected to have more psychopaths in charge than others and in the corporate world an estimation of around 4% of CEOs are high functioning psychopaths. Lawyers also maintain a high number of psychopaths compared to other careers according to estimates.
Are companies deliberately recruiting psychopaths for certain positions?
Leading commentators on psychopathy have said that companies inadvertently attract employees who are psychopaths because of the wording of their job advertisements and their desire to engage people who are prepared to do whatever it takes to be successful in business.[5][6] However, in one case at least, an advert explicitly asked for a sales executive with psychopathic tendencies.[18] The advert title read "Psychopathic New Business Media Sales Executive Superstar! £50k - £110k".[19]
While this quote does not count as legit evidence it does show that it is at least possible that certain companies may be deliberately recruiting the most unscrupulous individuals they can find. We also know that in certain specific professions involving intelligence that questionable morality or immorality is an asset. It is very plausible at least in my opinion that psychopaths in specific positions are being sought after or highly valued but it's also difficult for anyone to know without having clear data. It is difficult to determine even a percentage of the population which are psychopaths because outside of the prison population most people are not well observed or tested in ways which can determine psychopathy with a level of clinical certainty.
As the world becomes more transparent, how is society going to react or cope with a potential reality where a larger than expected percentage of the population are exposed as psychopaths? What if it's as high as 20% of the population? How will society manage this situation even if there is complete transparency? Will society be wise about how to handle the situation or will we see the sort of witch hunts we typically see in these situations?
I’m not even sure if it can be seen as a good thing or not . It’s sort of scary once we find a higher number of them and they aren’t able to hide . I’m not even sure how society will react upon numbers
Yes, and there will also be nowhere to hide from them.
I am not against transparency, I just stated another truth.

Witch hunt followed by social re-programming. How horrific will it be to be profiled as a potential psychopath because of your purchases or behaviour and then sent to a psycho ward for treatment before you've even done anything wrong?
Of course all in the name of public safety! It's scary shit.
From the perspective of a healthy society, psychopaths can be seen as an intraspecies predator which, depending on their abilities, preys upon individuals or entire societies often through the impersonal and dominating mechanisms of business.
When we come into contact with people with psychopathic qualities we are often overcome by a sense of confusion, deep mistrust and also worry about being led astray by fantasies infecting our minds. .
Transparency is one of the words frequently encountered today. This word, often used in many areas such as politics, economics, information, is often emphasized in a positive sense. Is this really the case, or what is called transparency, on the contrary, adds a new dimension to the control society? Does an environment where information is easily accessible actually strengthen the control community? Is transparency trust or vice versa?
it's impossible to be transparent in this world everybody has a different world in themselves this is special because ☺
I do not agree with you. You do not understand how many psychopaths, who can do what. who comes to mind that a religious man could be a child abuser. or that the owner of a large company is a rapist. television and newspapers are talking about it as a kind gentleman. It is clear that this did not stem from lack of education. this situation does not take the necessary moral decency. a solution for this is sought.Thanks for sharing.@dana-edwards
Transparency is honesty in our lives and honesty means value rather than slogan, which is an existing value and must be dedicated to our lives at home, work, society and home.
Transparency is also an important investment and economic development principle, which means the necessity of advertising and information about the activities and programs carried out by the organization, as well as for countries, we often hear from officials that the government's actions are transparent.
Hey dana-edwards bro, thanks for sharing your post.
This is a very informative post about Side effects of a transparent society for me...so thanks for your post bro.
Followed You...Please bro
Thanks
Well, that's an interesting question, if the percentage would be as high as 20% what possibly could society do to change that? Maybe our society is designed this way, to make everyone psychopaths? Witch hunting 20% of the population is hard to imagine. I mean, there would simply be too much to hunt, you know?
