Reduce my empathy for extra intelligence. Kill two birds with one stone.

    I mean, my empathy causes me a lot of stress. I'll take the intelligence.

    Personally, I feel like low empathy is a sign of low intelligence ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Emotions control so much of human behaviour so if you can't understand yours or others you won't be able to solve any problems with a human element.

    As someone pretty high in both, I’d lose some empathy. Gets me me in trouble sometimes
