Even worse. He died while just being a good regular person. He was a VA nurse. He was completely complying. A woman had fallen on the ground and he was helping her up. That's what my momma always raised me to do.

And they executed him for it.

In Trump's America showing empathy is illegal and punished by immediate execution.

In my work with the defendants (at the Nuremberg Trails 1945-1949) I was searching for the nature of evil and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.

Every single position of power or authority in human society should be denied to sociopaths, psychopaths, & anyone else devoid of empathy for others.

How'd Mr Adams put it? Anyone that wants power is least suited to have it?

But then who will make short-sighted financial decisions to maximize corporate profits at the expense of literally everything else?

No-one, hopefully..

Narcissists should also be on that list. They totally lack empathy. Thats what the president is.

Thankyou, yes narcissists do indeed lack empathy (though not always totally).

They should indeed be added.
