People having a lack of empathy is a very real thing. Semantics is fine, i should have used anti-social personality disorder to be absolutely correct. There are people who just lack the capacity to care at all about other people and will even murder if someone gets in the way of whatever plans they have . People are objects to be used and manipulated by people with anti-social personality disorder. Depending upon the degree or type I guess. When people refer to someone who is cold without conscience or remorse and say psychopath, yes they just mean anti-social personality disorder.
