  It’s not exactly something everyone has. There are quite a few psychopaths and sociopaths and a huge amount of narcissists out there

    Do you think there are more people with NPD than ASPD?

      Rudimentary Google gives me ~6.2% vs. 0.2- 3.3%, why?

        Personality disorder rates are higher in high-income countries. Whereas about one in 10 American adults (if not slightly more) meet diagnostic criteria for a personality disorder, the worldwide prevalence is lower—sitting at about 8%, according to a 2020 literature review.

        Put that with the 6.2%, and that makes it sound like most personality disorders are NPD. That sounds unbalanced and suspect. Where did you get that figure? Drag always heard 1% for each.

  I disagree. Reason can take you there by virtue of justice or equality.

    How can pure reason arrive at any understanding of justice?

      1. I am a sentient creature that feels pain and pleasure

      2. Others appear to be sentient creatures that feel pain and pleasure

      3. Pain is bad, so I should avoid inflicting it

      You don’t need empathy as an axiom to derive it rationally

        Statement #3 is hearsay. I would argue the only thing you can know is that you personally do not like pain. There is no absolute good or bad, only what aligns or doesn’t with your passions.

        The Golden Rule of “treating others as one would want to be treated”, is a logical conclusion that comes from experiencing the world and seeing that there’s a high probability that others will return actions in kind. It’s not perfect since everyone has different preferences (just look at the variety of sexualities and kinks out there).

        Pain and pleasure are passions. You said you were gonna use pure reason. Not use reason as an aid to passions.
