>empathyintelligent people have the most empathy, and the highest capacity for empathy. Intelligent people appear less "empathetic" to average people because intelligent people can assess the stupidity of actions of those around them. They can put themselves in the other person's shoes and process how they would handle the situation alternatively. Usually, an intelligent person's empathy leads them to the conclusion that the other person does not deserve their sympathy. Take black people for example: One can observe their attitudes and statements such as "white people are the reason I am not successful and have any shortcomings in life", and then compare this to their behavior. They use little reasoning and rely on force to solve issues, and are parasitic to civilization. If their behavior were universalized, society would revert back to a primitive tribalistic state of might makes right. It is only proximity to others which creates the stark contrast that fuels their feelings of inadequacy. Intelligent people will process that this behavior is not conducive to success by any objective metric, and will deem them not worthy of sympathy. There are many examples of this
