Is empathy a kindness?
The personality disorder of lacking empathy is theoretically the reason that our race became what it is today and now the true cruel, uncaring Alpha male sociopath is harangued by society for all them murders that they done.

Or economies that they have collapsed.

I'm not sure I'd murder one of the plebs.
Society has built a reasonable system to protect them so the risk isn't worth it. But equally it's not my fault that I'm cleverer than almost everybody so there's no way I'm going out of my way to keep the mediocre pricks happy.

Cleverer - such an ugly unitellectual word.
Unless you are a true polymath, my definition is having been published in multiple philosophical disciplines for example Wittgenstein or Russell and not a Renaissance Man type who flings a bit of paint around and can carry a tune on the ole piano whilst speaking a couple of languages. Then you are not cleverer, you are merely above average intelligence.

Not a personal attack but an observation.

I assume you dropped the comma and the 'n' to make a subtly ironic point there.

I make no claim to be cleverer. But yes, the spelling mistake is bollocks.
