Agreed. I wonder if this loss of compassion is caused by our inability to scale it. We tend to be more communal when the community is small. For e.g. People often reminisce about a time when 'everyone knew everyone' whether its in a professional context at work, or in an online forum, etc, It falls neatly in line with this often proposed notion that people from smaller towns / remote areas are more friendly, etc.
If we accept the above, certainly there is a potential path forward. But in the current climate capitalism (and society) has primed us to always look for ways to scale, always look for ways to engage and interact with as large of an audience as possible. Maybe that has to change?
