  • Well it might make a few bucks there but it’s a pretty disgusting concept. I don’t really understand how there are so many people utterly devoid of empathy.

    I always assumed it was an innate human trait and that someone needed to have it abused out of their brain or have some kind of mental illness. Is it even possible that this many children being mistreated so badly or have undiagnosed mental illness? That is both a shocking idea and hard to believe.

    The alternative is that it’s a learned trait and the parents and educators of these people have failed them so spectacularly that they can’t even begin conceive of their inability to identify with another person. The cognitive dissonance required to see a person that doesn’t look exactly like them as not a person is astounding.
