8. I have been trying to research and learn about this for years now
The best that I can tell, it's bad genes combined with bad nurturing. A lot of people don't get the nurturing they need to move beyond the egocentric stages of development.

And it's a bit of a catch 22, because while I can easily think of a society that would produce more empathetic people, you would need to have way more empathetic people than we do now to create such a society in the first place.
