Uhm... I thought weak individuals tend to be squeezed out... There
is nothing fair about mother nature..?

Well, I see at least as many assholes in the traffic as in VWs. Not
only do they break the law, the real law, they also put my life in
danger, real danger.

Yes, I believe many people who have problems seek comfort in virtual
worlds, but... having problems doesn't make you a sociopath. Some
"sociopaths" have rather excellent social skills, you know:
manipulative people, social engineers, even plain criminals.
