I've read and upvoted the parent post first. But I think you're right. Truly caring and sensitive people are becoming rare these days and it's not easy to identify the main causes. But I think mass media are to blame, at least partly, for the commercialization of people private lives. It is so deeply hardwired in our psyche that even on the web this (commercializing our own self) has become almost a requirement for success.

"Truly caring and sensitive people are becoming rare these days" I doubt people are essentially any different today. The way we communicate is different though. It's much easier to be insensitive when everyone is anonymous. It now takes a conscious effort to always treat people as if they were standing right in front of you. There are communities on the web that get this -- and that's where I try to hang out.
