No idea who that is, but it's not particularly challenging to realize evolution doesn't overall favor empathy -even if it played some role-, sometimes it's the full opposite, sometimes is punished ("no good deed goes unpunished"), firemen are the most prone to burns, the equivalent it's true for many other altruistic endeavors, including rare occasional ones unlike firemen.

It's also not particularly challenging to see society lacks any intrinsic defence from the most ruthless and greedy from advancing in any given power structure inside of it, it's a long term damage so it's abstracted away while more immediate issues take presedence, it's in our DNA to give too priority to immediate threats, while long term problems such as this don't make the top 10 (another example being climate change, etc)
