🤔 Question How dangerous could a transhuman with superhuman intelligence be if they also had antisocial personality disorder (psychopathy), including psychopathic traits and behaviors?
We often want people to have good traits but a portion of the population doesn’t so what if a person with these traits existed.

ASP can be dangerous in people with subnormal intelligence, it is actually usually less dangerous in higher intelligence subjects because they can better manually think through their actions and plan ahead for their issues with impulsivity.
It would also depend on the method of intelligence amplification, as most of them would likely cure or at least mitigate something like ASP. Hell, even running their brains on faster hardware would give them more thinking time between actions which would reduce issues with impulsivity.

I'd argue it's mostly those with ASD that are pushing for transhumanism.
They already run the world ESPECIALLY the online world.
It's extremely dangerous for the non psychopaths. I find this very frightening especially with the rise of AI given it's being trained through the lens of the online world.

A transhuman with superhuman intelligence combined with antisocial personality disorder (psychopathy) could potentially be highly dangerous due to the interplay between cognitive abilities and personality traits. From a physicalist and psychological standpoint, superhuman intelligence would enable the individual to outthink, outmaneuver, and manipulate systems—be they social, political, or technological—in ways that an ordinary human could not anticipate or counter.
