Yep. Without the capacity for shame/ guilt, empathy and inquisitiveness, they just laugh at it and can't believe how weak/ pathetic you are. Not only that but there are predators and then there are those who are hostile because they think you are a threat, with the first group, they just see those that 'treat 'em good' as especially easy prey.
People assume there are more qualities universally innate to humanity than there really are. They think because they perceive certain emotions in certain situations, or that they have the capacity to experience something, that everyone is also born that way. For instance, it was crazy when the people with an internal monologue found out there were people who have no internal monologue at all, I couldn't even believe it until they started accusing people with internal monologues of being schizophrenics, because they didn't understand at all. And how can we know that we experience pain to the same degree as another person, physical or emotional? It's impossible to find out. Also, if someone had all the colours swapped in their vision, but they were all still distinct colours (unlike colour blindness), they would never be able to figure out that their view of colours was different to everyone else- how would they even describe it?
Then there’s the Chinese. There was a study done I have somewhere, some significant percentage of Chinese children have no empathy gene. They did a thorough study and concluded it was a genetic difference, those children never developing what the rest of the world seems is present in all humans. I have met some like that, and could never understand them until, I read that.
But other East Asians, like Japanese and S Koreans don't have the same issue? I would assume the dysgenic impact of the CCP and Mao's revolution promoted the reproduction of heritable Psychopathy.
I have met one, Korean who had this. I have no other stats on it though past the study of Chinese.
