Are Utilitarians Psychopaths?

"Low Levels of Empathic Concern Predict Utilitarian Moral Judgment", state Gleichgerrcht and Young in this PLOSOne paper. It's a central concern of your blogger that "moral reasoning" might be an oxymoron, that morality is necessarily not a deliberative process and not subject to algorithmization, so to speak. This is obviously a central concern because the assumption that this is not the case is at the core of the Enlightenment. It could be that there's a moral mismatch hypothesis operating here, and that empathic concern is actually not a good contributor to decision-making in modern life.
