   I've said it before. And I will say it again. Empathy is not weakness.

   Empathy and compassion are what makes us civilised humans.

     Ye gods. The techbros really need some humanities education.

     The archeological find that is often touted as the first sign of civilisation is not a building, or a stone tool, or anything like that. Its a human femur bone.

     Why? Because it's a human femur that has a healed break. This shows that a group of humans cared about this one human enough, to feed, & protect them when they were injured. This requires compassion. It requires empathy.

     It's what makes us civilised
