I'm similar to you but there are people who are very different. Psychopaths exist on the end of this spectrum but there are many people in between as it is a spectrum and can be measured physically and determined genetically. People not like us are much more common than you think. I'd peg the number at 30-40% of people who are largely indifferent to murder and abide by the rules simply because of consequences society or habit. This is of course is just a anecdotal and hypothetical number. The problem is when people judge humanity they instinctively reach for a mirror and believe that other people are a reflection. This is partly true but it causes people to miss many parts of the personality spectrum that are massively different. Case in point: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/the-neuroscien... The above is an example of a psychopath who probably would have lived his life as a normal person were it not for his occupation and a serendipitous brain scan. You will note that he has confirmed psychopathy through genetic evaluation and physical evaluation of the structure of his brain. Also just want to say that I lied. I'm not like you. I'm a bit lower on the spectrum. I won't murder someone but if a stranger dies in front of me, I won't care. I'll definitely try to help him, but I won't be having problems sleeping at night. |
