Possibly the latter. I haven't heard of the brain resorting to such energy saving measures.
I have another (unsubstantiated) theory too: there is a group advantage in those with power having reduced empathy. Individuals in leadership positions will need to direct the group in such ways that are beneficial to the group overall, but may be harmful to specific individuals. Leaders with high degrees of empathy might find this difficult. This is probably why the Myers-Briggs type "ENTJ" (often associated with leaders) is jokingly summarized as "I'm very sorry, but you have to die." [1]

- scotty79 8y agoBrain has incredible energy saving measures. When you look through your eyes you process just few percent of the image. The rest is pretty much ignored because it usually isn't necessary for anything. When you are trying to think through something it's really hard and tiresome not to default to stereotypes and what you already figured out earlier about similar thing. Basically brain is as lazy as it can get away with.
