But if you say 'sign this, you get 100 million monies and 1 million will starve' ppl would sign.
That's because it's hard to empathize with a group of people. Empaiy is always about individuals. The "group" is an inherently more abstract term.
ppl thinking of other's wellbeing as if it's some fancy luxury even when said ppl have more than enough or more than others
they don't think about helping others in the first place. Brain is a lazy machine, it won't spend its cycles thinking if everybody in the neighborhood is feeling allright. This adds up with our inability to empathize with groups, making thinking of others only more costly.
That's why one's empathy always has a scope, and so do the good intentions.
And some people are just egotistic psychopaths, but i'd already talked about that, didn't i?
Hate is so easily weaponized bcs it's there, it's not reinvented...
Of course it is. Its rarely purely irrational tho. as you said it yourself, we always try to come up with a reason, even if it was purely emotional in the first place
And its not like it will go anywhere, especially with the way of thinking this post promotes.
If that (the quote) would be the case then ppl would also try to correct...
Except not everybody has a developed analytical thinking. Some people intentionally mute their inner voice. It's especially in the modern day, when you have music, videos, news or memes in practically infinite capacity. It's disturbingly easy to just turn off your brain.
