THAT'S what I'm saying. Anyone can do it. But many people don't want to because of the negative connotation applied to moral neglect. I did this to remove moral bias, so that I could see things without a ridiculous tint. Others are incapable by will. And others, like most "born" (so-called) psychopaths already have this predisposition (Or lack-there-of, if you ask me).
There's multiple disorders that can manifest traits like that as well. The question is if it's worth it to be like that if given the choice.
Just because I happen to prescribe to that idea myself genetically doesn't mean it's the best COA. 
So far, it has given me the most liberty, and the most satisfaction. Honestly, to call it a disorder, is to reject the concept of constant improvement. Some improvements require an un-tinted perspective. But some also require the occasional emotionally/morally compromised perspective of empaths. I chose both. I will transcend through unbiased consumption of perspectives of all kinds.
by TurncoatOh it's not a disorder, but it can be a symptom of it.
My case was a side affect of mine anyway.
Take it from someone who (You may have to trust me a little too much here. I get that.) knows both sides of the coin quite intimately: You are lucky to have been infused with that clarity so early-on. I assure you, that letting others take responsibility for their feelings is the best way to encourage general rationality. And rationality, no matter how jumbled or deluded, is better than no rationality. At least from where I stand.
In exchange I just face OCD/OCPD and Schizophrenia when Zinc deficient (and somewhat even after treating it), a lack of emotions that can get in the way of relating to others, chronic insomnia, and other difficulties that can get in the way of streamlined socializing and quality of life.
How I am and act is a double edged sword. It offers advantages in exchange for disadvantages. It's not luck, it just is.

Insomnia you say? That is quite interesting. I've recently acquired insomnia. Do you conserve energy by removing facial expressions and feelings when alone as well? I'm too lazy to worry about organization, or even flaws that I see in myself sometimes (including the laziness in my work or the general lack of work, but it's alright, because I've gotten flawless grades up until this point. My GPA is hardly affected.). But my social life is generally painless as long as I conserve energy. I don't quite have the hang of the "connection" part, yet. But I can fake it well enough to get by. But I'm not worried about it enough to change it.
Nah, my reduced emotional responses are actually a symptom of my schizophrenic traits. I didn't rid of them, they just weren't there from the get-go, save for fear and anger as ones that aren't shallow and fleeting at best. I've had sleeping problems as far back as I can remember (and according to the folks, before it too).
Thankfully a young age performing arts private school helped fill in a lot of the blanks. Particularly perceptive people who know me long enough begin to recognize what things are lacking in me emotionally, but it's typically just noticing that something is "off". I didn't lose any emotions or temper them to the point of non-existence, they were shallow from the start. I am one of those "life is just a stage" types more often than not.
My social life's not so bad, I can't really complain, but I still end up taking paths in it that others either don't bother or take for granted. If you ask me, it's more important that they perceive a connection than there actually being one. I've found ways through independent study to make up for my shortcomings.
"I'm too lazy to worry about organization, or even flaws that I see in myself sometimes"
I can't relate to this even a little bit.
If only I could find the time to sleep. I'd be willing to do anything and everything I felt necessary for ascending any ladders if I just got some more sleep. But there's not enough time in the day to do all that I want to do. I feel like I'm wasting my time by sleeping. To think that a third or more of my life will be slept away is absurd.
