This is a fact. My own personality has no sympathy. I do have a lot of empathy- I can understand why you are in the situation you are in, but believe me, I am not going to help you at my own or my families expense.
The better question is what are you mentally prepared to do to survive. Personally I have a strong moral flexibility. Not only will I defend me and mine, I will take what is necessary if the choice is my families survival.
The data thing is a bit scary, but its not news in itself. What is news is they published it, which is even a little scarier.
