In the Q&A, there were a few questions regarding apathy. I've never really recognized it as that until recently. I actually had different names for it. Going with the flow, whatever you wanna do, doesn't really matter to me, ok-whatever. But there have been major events in my life that really should have meant more to me, but didn't. I actually was waiting and wanting to experience that passion, that caring, that incentive. No go! Is this connected to oxytocin?

For those that struggle with being able to identify their feelings, or being able to put their feelings into words, I want to suggest you look into Alexithymia!!

Did the empathy study mentioned at 42:30 didn't distinguish between cognitive and affective empathy? You seem pretty hung up on the notion that (affective) empathy is always prosocial when it clearly pathologizes in larger populations where cognitive empathy is only pathological when there is comorbidity. You also have only mentioned deficiency in production and not hyper production and the impact that may have on conditions like vulnerable narcissism and pathological altruism.
