      Great interview by @B_resnick and Slovic's work is fantastic, but the term "hard limits" greatly misleads (1/n) https://www.vox.com/explainers/2017/7/19/15925506/psychic-numbing-paul-slovic-apathy …

      Hey. Thanks for the kind words! I'm open to changing the headline. I see "limit" as referring to the idea that we really can't fathom what..

      ... what 10,000 people feel like. That it's always going to be a bit of an abstraction.

      And "limits" perhaps also referring to the limiting effect of psychic numbing on our thoughts and behavior.

          Interesting! Yes, big numbers strain imagination to be sure, and numbing *tends to* follow. New research just suggests it doesn't *have* to.

          I think "limits" is fair, but over the years have become allergic to "hard ___" (limits, wired, etc.). Often unnecessarily fatalistic.

          Would cutting "hard" clear this up for you in this headline?

          In any case, I really enjoyed talking with Paul. And want to explore more research on compassion / empathy in future stories.

          No need to change the headline on my account, but yes I think that'd make it more accurate. Really appreciate your thoughtfulness!
