RE: Empathy and Feeling Too Much
Great post and a very important perspective. Are you familiar with Paul Bloom's work? He wrote a book recently called "Against Empathy" and has some very interesting conversations with Sam Harris on his podcast on this topic.
No I have not. Thanks for the recommendation. Much in ourselves and in the world is dual. Empathy, compassion, love have dual aspects to them. Short titles like "Against X" make it seems like someone is completely against X, even if they aren't, hehe. I guess it's a marketing click bait choice to get people interested :P
