Yours is. Moreover, the whole notion of empathy is disgusting. It is nothing more than an emotional blank cheque demanded by the weak and incompetent on those who are not so. It is the distilled essence of the Sklavenmoral. But as all such things, it is a poison which acts only against those who choose to drink it. Repudiate the concept, and it is as powerless as its preachers.
No, it's neuro- reaction. It's in our nature (in most of us, bro) - "Research in recent years has focused on possible brain processes underlying the experience of empathy. For instance, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been employed to investigate the functional anatomy of empathy. These studies have shown that observing another person's emotional state activates parts of the neuronal network involved in processing that same state in oneself, whether it is"

Of course, as i said before psychopaths, misanthropes and other very useful part of society doesn't have such neuro mechanisms.
But one important moment: Are we talking about "empathy" in meaning "the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within the other person's frame of reference, i.e., the capacity to place oneself in another's position" ? If yes - all that you're write above it's nonsence. Real creepy nonsence. It's the same to said that bitcoin will die because it's not provided with gold. Or

that miners have complete power and if you are not mining there is not much you can do. Miners are the ones who control the network I mean we should say mining pools as mining solo is not what we want.
And now i'm looks like this guy who said
WRONG.

Empathy helps to us in very various ways: starting from helping an old man with heavy luggage to not to kill a random beauty girl on the dark park because you wan't to fuck her dead body. Don't tell me that fear of the punishment stops you from doing that.
There too many ways to avoid it (i don't have statistic how it in western countries but i have for my country. Only 50 % of heavy crimes disclosed).
