Oh I forgot: generally lack of empathy comes from not being comfortable with feeling every feeling. Chris mentions this, it’s a good post.
E.g. without feeling disgust what would John have to feel? Maybe helplessness? If he actually ran their mind in sim properly?
Maybe empathizing properly would mean he has to fix them and he doesn’t want that responsibility?
Idk there can be all sorts of couplings and locally optimal strategies that result in not feeling them and empathizing properly.
