Big organizations run on raw cognitive power and conscientiousness. They don't run on empathy. Little bitty families run on empathy, especially when there are infants, but that doesn't scale. And I actually think that's why the personality trait conscientiousness, which is diligence, orderliness, industriousness, it's associated often with patriotism and more conservative values.

I think that's why it evolved because empathy does not scale. Because everyone isn't a big, happy family. And once you exceed kin group size in your organization, you have to turn to a different ethos. And I think that's particularly problematic for unconscientious women who self-aggrandize on the basis of their compassion.

Yeah, well, that'll get her attention if she doesn't have anything better to do. And it has no sense, right? But that is another example of that exaggeration of compassion to the point that it becomes toxic. And the fact that it's necessary to human beings, especially in the early years, like vital, also means that it's a very difficult force to regulate.

I mean, the general rule for caretaking – and this goes for the elderly as well, pretty much anybody you're actually taking care of – don't do anything for anyone that they can do for themselves, right? Because you're actually stealing from them, not helping them.

You know, I mean, certainly one of the rules for psychotherapy, insofar as there are actual rules for that enterprise, which has probably become now more destructive than useful, is that people have to make their own way, right? You listen and you help people strategize and you ask them questions, but you don't provide them with the direction for their life because that's their enterprise.

And that requires a very, well, it requires a hard bound on compassion, that's for sure, because you don't want to get in there and interfere. Can I ask you a little bit about the way that you
