"However, he thinks he can push some Randian vision of selfishness as a virtue" That should earn him a special place in hell.

Did someone mention AYN RAND? I see you are still seething about MUSK. Interesting take, T-SAT. I’d say the problem isn’t empathy itself, it’s selective empathy. When empathy is extended only toward fashionable causes or certain groups, it becomes a tool for manipulation rather than understanding. Musk’s “weaponized empathy” comment was clumsy but not entirely wrong, it’s a critique of emotional coercion being used to justify bad policy. Empathy is still essential for civilization, without it, we’d have nothing but cold utilitarianism and self-interest. The challenge is keeping empathy grounded in reason instead of letting it become a political cudgel.
