Sounds nice, but it's likely bollox. No reason to suppose empathy will engender a view from nowhere. Might well do the opposite. (Empathy is a terribly bad foundation for moral judgement, for example.)https://twitter.com/seanmcarroll/status/979782811820417024 …

Maybe, lacking empathy may not lead to universalising our own experience or perspectives; but without empathy, I doubt we would ever get beyond our own experience and perspectives.
Hmmm. Not convinced. I think it's possible to understand that other people have their own internal worlds, etc., and that things follow from that - without being able to imagine ourselves in their (internal) world.
