If somebody doesn't want to care about something the "reason" they give is likely not important, at the end of the day it's an emotional decision. If you want to make people care about something, I recommend offering them a situation where they can sleep better at night when they care.
- mikeash 8y agoThat’s kind of my point. When you remind people that they’re caring more about the tragedy of one person than they care about the tragedy of millions, you’re not helping them to sleep better. You’re just shaming them, and the result is likely to be that they’ll care less about both, rather than more about the millions.
