YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMany people requested a followup to my sympathy and empathy video that would address the question of sociopathy. In this video I advance the hypothesis that sociopathy is one end of a continuum that contains all normal people. If this hypothesis is correct, the blocking of sympathy, as defined here, would be an adaptation which most or all people evidence sometimes (when sympathy would do more harm than good to one's inclusive fitness), and which would characterize a true sociopath at all times. It is pathological when it is misdirected, which might occur very frequently in novel, modern circumstances.
