Whether you sympathize or not, saying "meh" to someone's death is a slippery slope with psychopathy at the bottom.

  > Whether you sympathize or not, saying "meh" to someone's death is a slippery slope with psychopathy at the bottom. You literally made a "slippery slope argument". You might not be aware of it, but this is a logical fallacy [1]. Psychopathy is not the end result of lacking empathy to a certain person's death.

    So... does anyone else finds it funny that on that list, (2) is true and (1) is getting close?

      Heh, yes, I noticed that. That's a good example for invalid reasoning leading to a correct conclusion.
