Great screaming headline of the day:
Psychopathic criminals have empathy switch
Subhead:
Psychopaths do not lack empathy, rather they can switch it on at will, according to new research.
Did anyone really believe that psychopaths completely lacked empathy?
Try this on for size: psychopaths have plenty of empathy, but they use it for evil instead of for good.
Effective cruelty requires empathy; without it, there's neither motivation nor direction.
(I'm no more a headologist than I am a rail engineer, but this is totally in Department of Duh! territory.)
