Yes. Absolutely. When that happens inside a human being's head, we generally call them 'mass murderers'. Even I only cooperate with society because there is a net long term gain in doing so; if that were no longer the case, I honestly don't know what I would do. Awesome, that's something new to think about. Thanks.

That's probably irrelevant, because mass murderers don't have power without all the rest. They are likely to have sentience and conversational ability with self-consciousness, at least.
