You ask "In a real world, how could we, the moral masses, protect ourselves from the globalization of psychopathy?"
Laurent Guyénot introduces the powerful notion of a systemic psychopathy induced by a ‘cognitive virus’ transmitted over hundreds of generations, which is self destructive.
We're already over half way through fossil fuels needed to process and mine and build solar energy flow harvesting machines. And the down slope of all resources extraction curves is steeper than the up slope, meaning we have a century or so before we're back to the energy supply.
Global population will go back to what it was (~1billion) when the first commercial electric machines were invented some two decades or so BEFORE the first commercially successful internal combustion engine created by Étienne Lenoir around 1860. The first commercially successful electric motors for a lathe and a locomotive were developed in the 1840s
Even if raw material inputs from mines were sufficient, its not possible to build them without high energy density diesel, despite the 2 decade head start electric machines had over diesel machines. So humans face biophysical collapse any way, rendering the question of whether we are living in a simulation or not a non starter: there's no time, Elon, to develop your magic simulation machines!
