Strange that we should come to opposite conclusions; I feel like pretty much everyone I've ever known has real empathy.

You might be attractive.

empathy to random humans is rare, empathy to those in your immediate vicinity is not. I suspect the biggest asshole at your work probably has empathy for their family.

The fundamental issue at play here is trying to manipulate language by using the word disgusting to evoke a stronger reaction than is warranted.

At some point you're going to need a stronger word than disgusting because you've watered it down so much. Where do you go?

I was raised on empathy, and then got out into "the real world" and humanity actively beat very nearly every last shred of empathy out of me. At this point I truly believe that the majority of humanity are straight-up monsters and the Universe will be a better place when we're gone. Good thing we're letting the richest 1-10% of us decide we should all just die trying to make them richer than they already are. Soon enough the Universe will be safe from humanity.

Sheesh
