I love Market Efficiency UwU. Isn't the Rule-ing class just so responsible with their power? 🥰

Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
I associate low-empathy with immoral, and I think that's a common position. These oligarchs are evil but areprotected from public visibility and scorn. If those protections were removed, then they'd face pressure to make more empathetic decisions that value the people they profit off of.
Funnily enough, empathy doesn't always apply to all other people! Many often learn to only utilize their empathy to gain social advantages by leveraging an understanding of others, or practice selective empathy in that they have functioning, typical, empathy - just only within their bubble. It's why some of them get uncomfortable when they're forced to perceive poor people in a more humanizing way - they have empathy, they're just choosing not utilize it in a way that benefits larger society. I feel I should also point out that a number of people fit the qualifications for being considered low-empathy, but are regarded as leading admirable lives by otherwise choosing to be good to their fellow human beings - James H Fallon comes to mind.
