I don't get manipulated or becoming weak just because I have empathy.

And the way Elon Musk acts, its very well in his line to be just a massive dick about everything.

of course you have to grow as a human being to have empathy and still not act on it, but it gives you a different mental model.

I don't see a homeless person as garbage, i see a homeless person as a human being who struggles and i accept that i can't help everyone.



It's actually empirically easy to manipulate people like Musk and other vice-signaling losers.

Just stroke their fragile little ego and tell them they're big bad boys if they do X Y Z.
