Metacrisis: Extinction by Sociopaths?

Do sociopaths bear any responsibility for the metacrisis? It’s no secret that sociopathic tendencies are driving factors for success in our current socioeconomic model: assertiveness, charisma, and risk-taking behaviors are qualities that contribute to success in work and politics, and are at times even elevated by our society as virtues for effective leadership. The likes of Steve Jobs and Napoleon Bonaparte are revered for their leadership, despite demonstrating behaviors that would otherwise fall on the sociopathic spectrum. The behavior patterns of these sorts of individuals almost certainly contribute to the interconnected problems faced by humanity today, and any steps to resolving this metacrisis will likely require checks on systems captured by sociopaths.
