    That’s an interesting idea.

    I would have thought those people had at least some amount of empathy if they can recognise what they’re doing is good or helpful to others.

    What do you think drives somebody with no empathy to be good?
    Public image? Fear of god?

    I feel like empathy is more of a scale rather than something you either have or don’t.
    People with the lowest amount of empathy would have the highest amount of narcissism.

    I think the vast majority of the population has the ability to empathise with others at some level. And when you’re not driven to be good for empathetic reasons, it’s probably for narcissistic reasons instead.
