Empathy is simply being able to understand the feelings of others, and to also be able to feel them for yourself. This can easily be used for evil and manipulation, as the first step for manipulating someone is to understand their desires and emotions.
> entertaining thoughts of manipulation shows your contradictory mindset>yet you cannot resist the allure of wielding power over others.Not really, it's was just a hypothetical scenario to illustrate a point. And nowhere I implied non-psychopaths were less evil, if anything I implied the opposite - as I argue a non-psychopathic genius would be more effective at evil acts should they decide to commit them.
>You claim to recognize the worth of empathyAs I put it, empathy has worth for both good and evil.
