Lacking empathy just means that other peoples reactions are mystifying.
A lack of empathy is not synonymous with a lack of morality. If the internal dialogue of a psychopath is to make the world a better place; leave it better than you found it, than there is no self serving and lives are not ruined.
I agree with your first sentence, to be fully human is to be self serving and strive to be better than (read dominate) our fellow humans.
Those who lack a conscience are just better at it than others. Evil is a verb.
90% of people waste 90% of their time on things that don’t matter.

What Putin has essentially said is ,that he has a weapon which can take out underground bunkers with precision, which cannot be stopped. Still want to go to war? It means that if they have the right intel they can decapitate the enemy. If what he says is not BS , which it is not because he has already given the customer a sample. Future hostilities will mean one side will not have a command structure.
Putin tried to convince the world that Russia was a super power.
The past 3 years has shown that to be BS.
"Superpower" is a term used for the US and Russia due to their nuclear stockpiles.
