This seems a little absolutist. These traits exist on a spectrum. Are personalities and minds really that predictable and non-malleable?



There's no incentive for them to change. If they can use people and then discard them for new supply, maintaining their power over people with manipulation and games -- then why change? Change would involve becoming vulnerable, giving up their means of power, and confronting their harmful actions.
