Contro l’empatia

“Empathy is like cholesterol, with a good type and a bad type. (…) On balance, empathy is a negative in human affairs. It’s not cholesterol. It’s sugary soda, tempting and delicious and bad for us. Now I’ll tell you why.”
da Paul Bloom, Against Empathy: The Case for Rational Compassion, Harper Collins, pp.20-21.
