Does wealth contribute to lack of Empathy? I think that it causes one to feel superior to the lowly who are regarded as things and not as people. The more money that krazynov, bezos, musk and fuckerman accumulate the less they care about anyone else. It's a disease. The cure is taxation of the rich, a kind of rehab program for them. That would be us showing empathy.
Maybe, but I don't believe that Gates, Soros, and a lot of other rich people have it.
I prosecuted in juvenile court and later was court appointed in juvie cases. 2 categories: 1. delinquent. 2. dependent. I was a master in some cases and later helped write the child standards for Social Security, and was a judge there for 10 years. A lot of it is due to mental impairments. Once upon a time I also represented school districts, and was "parlimentarian" in discipline cases.

Of course my post was a gross overstatement. But the bell shaped curve of empathy by wealthy people is severely skewed towards lack of empathy. Likewise there are assholes among the less fortunate but I suspect that they are more empathetic.
If I were doing a study I would have the impact of each individual weighted by their wealth. Musk would be over the top. But this is obvious.
