God this is true, there's a staggering amount of people that lack it. So much selfishness as well

Selfishness can be trained away, lack of empathy not very much it seems.

Happily we store all these non-empats in position of power.

I lost most of mine during Covid. The amount of selfishness by people during that time has made me want to never be empathetic towards them... and there were A LOT of selfish people.

It's akin to a skill, after all. Like humor. Having either one does not make someone good or bad. They're just gimmicks in the end.
