When did the West have more empathy than other cultures? Elon's mistake is not only the conclusion that empathy is a weakness but also the observation that the West is empathic.
This seems to be in the context of the other quote that only somebody with the ability for violence can be peaceful. If you are unable to stop destroying your opponent, are you going to win? Sounds like rage, which is not good to win wars.
I feel like someone told Elon that he's autistic and lacks empathy, and his reaction was to get all defensive about it and start claiming people who lack empathy are actually superior.
Isn't the whole "autistic people don't have empathy" thing a long debunked myth anyway? It's generally, among autistic people, seen as ablest to assume they are incapable of empathy, which would make Elon's/Elon's supporter's excuses for him in this respect DOA.
Yes, autistic people struggle with telling how a person is feeling, but once they know, they can be the most empathetic people ever. fElon is using it as an excuse to treat everyone like shit.
Well my guess is he has narcissism but they told him it's autism because it's often a bad idea to tell a narcissist they have narcissism.
also, this south african apartheid nazi is not autistic, he's just empathetically retarded.
Don't treat Musk's words as if they were coming from an intelligent source.
I believe the whole point of the post was to show contrast: here's what some great minds said about empathy, and then there's this guy.
