While a disproportionate about of Wall Street hedge fund managers might be psychopaths, the vast majority of people who are diagnosed as psychopathic have very difficult lives.

They leave in their wake failed marriages and distant children, often find it difficult to advance in careers, and suffer a continual existential torment of loneliness, and the paranoia that the world is against them. While outwardly charming, there aren't many people who want to spend a lot of time with a psychopath.

I was only making a joke on my predicament, no need to bring down the mood dude.

"They leave in their wake failed marriages and distant children, often find it difficult to advance in careers, and suffer a continual existential torment of loneliness, and the paranoia that the world is against them. "

So apart from the difficulty advancing in their careers, they're exactly like Wall Street hedge fund managers.

I found it a worthwhile documentary that covers some relevant and depressing topics.

Having said this, I found myself disliking it until they got past the bullshit you mentioned and started the interviews. FWIW, had it not come recommended by someone I respected, I'd have probably given up in the same spot you did.

It's a badly executed film with good enough material to make it worth slogging through.

Also Vaclav Havel.

Also don't go into it expecting an actual documentary, because it's straight up agitprop but its heart is in the right place.
