Old people can be wrong, and in this case, they are.
>There is no reason to have empathy.
This is a category mistake. You reason that empathy is superfluous if people are the cause of their misfortune. However, whether people are the cause of their misfortunes is utterly irrelevant to whether there is a reason to have empathy.
So far, none of your arguments have had any discernible logic behind them. If you are so convinced that empathy is needless, why can you not articulate a coherent argument for your position?
- zwnow 2y agoYou not seeing arguments doesn't invalidate them. You arent the judge on this.
- InsideOutSanta 2y agoDo you think this response will convince anyone that you are correct? You still fail to provide an argument; you're just being unpleasant. To what end? Is that what not having empathy in a society feels like? People just talking at each other without any particular goal in mind other than being unpleasant to each other?

- InsideOutSanta 2y ago>Are you sure that would be the poster's attempt. What do you suspect he is attempting to do?
- mdp2021 2y agoThere is a chance he is just seeing whether discussing brings some benefit - as he likes to say. Which is a good thing. Better than the opposite.
- lolinder 2y agoThere's no discussion happening, though! They're just repeating themselves over and over and ignoring the contents of any replies.
- zwnow 2y agoBecause the replies ignore the contents of my replies, weird isnt it
- InsideOutSanta 2y agoThis is false. I quoted you and made counterpoints. You repeatedly ignored what I said and instead chose to say peculiar things like, "you arent (sic) the judge on this." Anyone can read this thread and see this for themselves.
- bumby 2y agoCounter perspective: you deflect instead of answering direct questions, which is more like talking at people instead of having dialogue.

- zwnow 2y agoWhat do I gain from convincing people on the internet about something? Its entertainment for me. Simply showing people how I think is fun. People always act so shocked.
- InsideOutSanta 2y agoI'm not shocked, but it's not surprising that you don't understand other people's emotions—or your own. You don't just lack empathy; you also lack introspection. I feel strongly that it would be beneficial for you to work on that.
