Empathy, or caring about how other people are affected, even if it doesn't affect you personally. Empathy is normal and healthy.
Better question is, why are 60+yo Capitalists who already have more wealth than they could possibly spend before they die, so desperate to hold and collect even more wealth?
But most of this people doesn't even exist in the present. I mean, isn't better that stop having kids, you can kill 2 birds this way: Reduce footprint to ZERO, avoid future generations suffering of global warming.
So you don’t feel bad for future humans because they’re assholes for existing?
I can't feel empathy for people that doesn't exist. Simple as that.
How about a 1yo baby that will suffer the effects of climate change their whole life, can you feel empathy for a 1yo baby?
I feel more anger about the parents that brings that child to suffer to this world.
Okay so you're too hateful towards complete strangers to have empathy for a 1yo baby.
Yes, it's an imaginary human being. We can avoid his her birth still.
There's tens of millions of 1yo babies, they are all real, they are not imaginary, and they were all born between 12 and 24 months ago.
I'm not sure how you avoid the birth of someone who was born between 12 to 24 months in the past.
You sound a few fries short of a happy meal.
As I told. I feel more anger with the parents that condemn that kids to the slaughterhouse, knowing all the shit that happens on earth these days.
Okay that confirms I was right, you are too hateful towards strangers even to feel empathy for infants.
Imaginary infants And doesn't change the fact that besides I can feel small empathy, I feel more anger with irresponsible parents, that blocks the rest of my feelings.
I'm talking about real infants, not imaginary. Real.
Do you think they're imaginary just because you can't see them? You haven't cognitively developed object permanence yet?
That would explain why we're talking in circles.
I am telling you: More than empathy I feel anger for the irresponsible parents, under my POV they are the responsible of most problems of this world. You see poor families with few kids that doesn't even have something to eat, more than empathy I feel anger. Sorry.
Yeah, for the third time, I know, you are too busy being filled with hate for complete strangers to feel empathy for real life infants.
