Not to be confused with sociopathy, psychopaths are born without a conscience. This is not to say that they necessarily behave completely selfishly, since other behaviour can be learned,

Prevalence

About 1% of the population are born with psychopathy. This is pretty easily tested, but the entire phenomenon is not given much attention and brought into the public consciousness much.

Importance

Psychopathy is of great importance to the deep state, as it renders people more predictable. People who are totally selfish are also totally controllable by a suitable combination of threats and rewards. By contrast, people with a conscience are less likely to be so manipulated and are more emotionally robust. In the case of Tony Blair for example - lying to start a war in which over 1,000,000 people were killed could reasonably be expected to create psychological problems (i.e. at least sleepless nights or remorse). This does not seem to be an issue for Mr. Blair, whose only semblances of remorse are perfunctory in the extreme.

Sociopathy

Socopathy is the learned behaviour of emulating psychopaths.
