I’ve spent time ruminating on what about empathy is so offensive to someone with a mind like Elon Musk. I have landed on empathy being the contrast to efficiency. Some people have the ability to remove humanity from situational processing. When people have a need to make all things black-and-white so they can check it off and move onto the next thing, humanity is what truly gets in the way. So I don’t see it as much as empathy versus hate as I do humanity versus efficiency. The need to process things to make them easy to categorize and place them in a box and move onto the next problem.
Efficiency is better designed for not thinking in terms of black-and-white actually. It’s that sliding scale, that sense of tradeoff, that’s offensive to people operating with empathy/morality i.e. that human touch you speak of
Conservative distaste for Utopian demands stems from simply noticing the inherent frailty of the nature of social animals and the inevitability of tradeoffs. They don't think too much is being asked of them. They think they're being asked to unlock the lion's den and throw away the key.
Most of the political figures mentioned above are not conservatives. They're just figures on the Right.
I don’t buy the empathy narrative in the first place. This infinite wellspring of empathy is performative and selective. It’s born of a desire to conform to whatever the prevailing sentiment amongst the dominant media mouthpieces is at the moment and reinforced by the idea that we should hate ourselves for what we have and worship preferred groups for what they don’t. This is the primary mechanism for not only the fall of the west but the absolute implosion of the democrat party. They care more about being right than living in a prosperous society. It’s absolutely suicidal, born of that luxury self-hatred that only wealthy people with a dark side to hide can actually afford. These are the kind of people who will start a war to make their predictions of war come true. They will burn their own communities in order to lord righteously over the ashes and score points on the luxury register. They worship victims so much that all they want in life is to become one. There is a dark side of hate festering behind this outward do-gooder facade. Hate for oneself is easily projected onto anyone, especially your own people.

Fuck off.
I reject the left because you're retarded scum and I want you killed by cops.
Why he liked your comment? Lol
A superb piece of writing.
