Against [Emotional] Empathy

11/18/2017

Last week I read Dr. Paul Bloom's (@paulbloomatyale) Against Empathy.

I was planning to write a long summary, but then I decided to keep things short. Here is my summary in 280 characters or less:
​
Emotional empathy (different from perspective taking) is making the world a worse place. We need to remind ourselves that empathy is, in fact, a tool used motivate people. Though, I agree with Jesse Prinz that anger is a much better motivator.

Hello, world!

I have been meaning to start a blog for a while. Mainly for the purpose of keeping track of the books I've read and maybe to practice writing a bit more.

Bear with me as I figure out how blogging works; I haven't used Weebly's blog feature before. Expect the first few posts to be weird. 

As I was thinking about a possible title, I realized: What better way to start my first post than the classic 'Hello, world!'

# This program prints Hello, world!
print('Hello, world!')

Cheers,
Meltem
