I never denied that.
You don't need compassion to care about others.
I don't have any compassion myself, I could cut your throat open without feeling guilty, so I speak from experience. compassion makes caring for other humans a bit more easy, but is actually unnecessary. All you need to care about other humans is the ability to think logically and sociopaths have the ability to think logically, as you said yourself. by thinking logically, you will eventually come to the conclusion, that decreasing someone else's joy a lot, for example by raping him/her, while increasing your own joy a bit, would decrease the total amount of joy in this world.
