- philwelch 7y agoEmpathy is overrated and is actually part of the problem sometimes. People are wired to feel empathy for members of their ingroup and to not feel empathy for members of their outgroup, so relying too much on empathy just creates a collection of divided subcultures, which is what the Internet really looks like to me.
