I don't feel like I'm lacking either all that much. If anything, having too much is an impediment in life. Less intelligent people don't need to worry so much, and sociopaths don't have a care in the world.

    I have a similar conclusion from the other side - I don't want to lose any of my intelligence Or empathy, because I already don't feel like I have as much of either as I'd like, so pushing one of them lower is not a goal.
