      It seems that what limits our empathy is our intelligence. I believe this can be both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because less empathy allows more rational decisions (as mentioned later in the article). A curse because less empathy can lead to corruption, which can even negate the bonus of more rational decisions (in the case of killers and so on).
