    A lack of empathy can legitimately be viewed as “cognitive damage”. And this is by no means an isolated case. Not even remotely.

      No it’s not an isolated case, but that comment is directly about this isolated case, stating it’s proof against an entire profession.

      Good comment - I think I’d disagree though. A lack of empathy can certainly be caused by cognitive damage but I don’t think it IS cognitive damage. I could be wrong though.

      It’s not an isolated case, no, but this video and comment thread is.
