I regularly see people make the mistake of believing that being empathetic is effectively being a universally-nice doormat, or that empathy itself is a universal good. Neither is true.
So Cantrill's behaviour isn't an indictment of his integrity in and of itself. I think it's more that you haven't considered the implications of empathy as a bias.
- frederickbonger 9y agoI disagree that it's not an indictment of his integrity, while agreeing with the remainder of your points. If this was an example of empathy as a bias, it led to abusing someone quite publicly and inappropriately. Failure to recognize and correct this is demonstrative of a lack of integrity.
