When you really slow down the tape on Weinstein—or Donald Trump, or Bill Cosby, or Bill O’Reilly, or Roger Ailes—what you see more than anything else is a profound lack of connection to other human beings. It’s not just that women, or strangers, or people of color, or children of immigrants, or Muslims (or a combination thereof), don’t rate in their world. It’s that these people are utterly irrelevant. A person is either useful and part of the club, or else that person is cast out like trash. The second someone ceases to be useful, they are forgotten.
