I agree, but I find it hard to beleive that isolation alone is enough to make them so unempathetic. I can only assume it has something to do with the human capacity to lie to one self, otherwise even acknowledging the truth would just be too uncomfortable.

Makes me imagine some weird distopian future where all people with power and wealth are forced to take some anti-self-deciet drug to prevent crimes against humanity :P

But who would force them?

Well it's a sci-fi distopian future so there would be some twisted pseudo dictatorship of course ... except for the one guy at the top who exempts himself from the drug. Ok this is basically "equilibrium" with a different brain mod isn't it :P
