thats actually not true. a sizeable chunk of the population are psychopaths and are capable of both developing empathy as well as competently faking empathy. by faking, i mean faking to the point that they can easily manipulate psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, prison guards etc etc etc
it doesn't matter whether or not its an authentic or genuine response or that the actor is experiencing the emotion, it only matters that the correct and properly calibrated responses are given at the right moments.
