The same capacity we have for picking up what other people are feeling, and instinctively cooperating with them which is valuable in many circumstances can turn into mob violence in other circumstances.

And perhaps the same capacity for detaching ourselves from what other people are thinking and feeling and acting independently which can save us from getting sucked into a mob, is not a million miles removed from the ability of an individual psychopath to detach themselves from all human values.

A bit frightening, human beings. Balanced on the brink of wisdom, and only too likely to fall off on one side or the other.
