Every tech dude in Silicon Valley who read Paul Bloom's "Against Empathy", and now walks around telling people "we need less empathy", as if everyone else has also read the book and/or gives a shit, please read and internalize this tweet:https://twitter.com/SeanTheTerrible/status/1137921598567133184 …

A) I kind of want to read the book but it's going to make me really mad because it's going to use "empathy" to mean "sympathy". B) Ultimately one needs emotional motivations for compassionate behavior; see Amartya Sen on sympathy vs. commitment.
