The same roots of cultural brainwashing that have produced cannon fodder for wars (guys who don't feel much and so have a hard time telling right from wrong), was already bad
But when part of the population does "not feel"
it also infects other parts of life, and can and does produce people focused only on external and incredibly shallow status symbols to "prove" they are "superior"
I have no words to convey how -stupid- and shallow it is to be "proud to have zero introspection".
