The concept of "sociopaths" is more of a cop-out than anything.

It amounts to a (vaguely pseudoscientific) dehumanization of those whose modus operandi transgresses our values most severely.

Imagining a subset of the population as literal cancer cells does not help us understand better the systemic issue which makes those people benefit disproportionately from metahuman entities (such as corporations or political agglomerations).
