Would it make sense to forcibly cure psychopaths if the tools were available?

Even if true as written, having a higher than average risk of criminal behavior is not the same as being a criminal.

Note that just because someone with Antisocial PD is not a violent criminal doesn't mean they're harmless - in corporate environment they cause massive losses to both companies and workers alike, for various reasons - increased risk taking, corruption/fraud, lower shareholder trust, poor mental health of workers due to toxic work environment etc.

Oh really? Please list the categories of humans who are in fact "harmless".

Like everything in life and human advances, this coin has two sides to it - in corporate environment they cause massive profits and advances and option's in their nations prospects.

Sometimes our society need these people, such as war, where would we be if we couldn't 'let slip the dogs of war'?

Without such people, we'd end up in a world war stalemate with all the soldiers deliberately aiming their weapons away from the enemy... 😉
