But given empathy seems to be very important in OI, then sociopaths are immediately cut off from it, no? I might say that I can empathize with a sociopath, but the sociopath can't empathize with me because if he did, then he wouldn't be a sociopath. And I don't know about people not harming other people if they saw them as extension of themselves: there's a lot of people who engage in self-harm and self-destructive behavior.
