The Psychopath Factory examines how the requirements, stimuli, affects and environments of work condition our empathy
In some cases work calls for no empathy—characters who don’t blink or flinch in the face of danger nor crack under pressure. In other cases capitalism requires empathy in spades—charming, friendly, sensitive and listening managers, customer service agents and carers. When workers are required to either ignore their empathy to do a job, or dial it up to increase productivity, they are entering a psychopathic modality. The affective blitz of work, flickering screens, emotive content, vibrating alerts and sounding alarms erode our sensitivities whilst we are modulated with attention stimulants, social lubricants and so called anti-anxiety drugs. This is amidst a virulent and exacerbating climate of competition and frenzied quantification. Capitalism pressures us to feign empathy and leverage social relationships on one hand, whilst being cold and pragmatic on the other. We are passionate and enthusiastic whilst keeping a professional distance.
Sympathy, care, compassion and altruism are important; The Psychopath Factory argues that it is a mistake to presuppose that empathy can achieve these. Rather than being subject to the late capitalist organisation of our empathy, psychopathy could be a means of escape.

“When workers are required to either ignore their empathy to do a job, or dial it up to increase productivity, they are entering a psychopathic modality. ” - Sounds like the Soviet Union!

Wtf does the Soviet Union have to do with anything?!?
Absolutely nothing!
Which tells me you,re either suffering psychotic delusions or nurturing dangerous obsessions. Get some help ffs.

@cklem40 - it’s a joke isn’t it? Every description of capitalism’s worst aspects is met with “sounds like the soviet union”. What fantasy land do these people live in? Americans are surely the most propagandised people on earth and it shows — nothing that many of them believe has any connection to reality or the present moment.

Both capitalisim and the soviet union are trash and benefit a few. Don’t get too carried away kids.

Thanks for sharing.
One great thing about this site is that you can judge others and throw, for example, anti abortion comments under an audiobook titled: Bicycle maintenance from A to Z.
