Psychopolitics: Empathy's Downsides | Robert Wright & Paul Bloom [The Wright Show]

[@NOnerf97]

Absolutely Love Paul Blooms and Robert Wrights take on empathy, ive been watching all of their old interviews as so torn between the two, i think this is where i got to in the end - how do we make decisions to stop / understand an evil / immoral situation or action = Understand with / using compassion / cognitive empathy, but without emotional empathy so that you can use self control without anger ect, with action to solve / understand the problem . Anyone still on this as it was a few years ago lol, if you are out there do you agree??

Thank you guys for your time! I get a lot of value learning different ideas from your conversations

Would love to see a video interview of yourself describing how your book “Moral Animal” came about, how it was researched, written, etc. Truly a masterpiece... Best R

The point around 32:00 is why Kant said that the only good thing in-itself is a "good will" because you can use intelligence (for example) to be better at doing evil

Both Dave and Tamler love Bob and would love to have him back on VBW I'm sure

"In this world you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. For years I was smart, I recommend pleasant."

[@Bolaniullen]

talk about stating the obvious with that Houston study, is this not just something you can intuit?

[@ghfloorman]

I think it’s funny that ostensibly intelligent and curious people say things like “Ukraine attacked by Russia” and “Ukrainians being killed by Russian soldiers.”
