Spiritless Humans
Behavioral and Psychic Characteristics
Their behavior tends toward being glib, shallow, egotistical, narcissistic, mundane, predatory, and materialistic. Sometimes these traits are camouflaged by a polished social exterior, but anyone with a discerning eye can see through the disguise. They lack individuality, independent thinking, and are strongly biased toward holding a herd mentality. They lack comprehension of anything beyond the material sphere of the five senses, and have no interest in such metaphysical matters except as flashy accessories to boost their social image. They also appear entirely incapable of empathy, soul-searching, and willful self-sacrifice. Nevertheless, in the presence of others they can put on a flashy show of concern, distress, or altruism for purposes of social manipulation; for example, crocodile tears to elicit sympathy, or doing something nice for another solely to guilt trip them later and extort a favor.
Psychically scanning their consciousness reveals something interesting. There is a certain simplicity, flatness, and inertness to their essence, even if their intellects are highly developed.
Non from me just questions for you for my my understanding.
However, some may see your judgements of them being a shell with no soul as hatred of their being from your beliefs perspective.

The op is spot on in what he is describing. The discrepancy is that the "empty shell" lacks spirit.

The closed minded mentality that I often run into on this site falls into that category imo.
These people (as stated above) often have highly developed intellect but that's not the problem.

Minus the DSM conclusion which would require the necessity of a lack of conscience, or some founation upon which their belief system rests, and some willingness behaviorally to respond and respect that in some way, this sound like sociopathy or, at the least, narcissisum, which is part of sociopathy...anyway.
As for the OP, and your response factored in as well, as what this thread attracts because of these is a glib, easy judgement and justification to rid the planet of certain others, or at the least do anything you want, because after all, you can just disregard them as the empty shell of the human being........
That's the problem with sociopathy...it is very good at turning the corner and pointing back at someone else, usually a victim of it, and identifying that person, as the one who is an empty shell. That's where this kind of thinking without all the facts leads one.....and it is a very slippery slope, getting suspiciously close to determining that any "uncontrolled" life that somehow manages to survive in this environment is empty without the "Lords," whomever they may be who decide what exists inside of whom, and therefore, soon, very soon, it is so easy, way too easy to define what is "better" and "worse" and more deserving of the gift of life and nature is a bastard without the machine involving itself....which is only as good as what made said machine.....
