    Yes, Musk said ‘The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy.’

      What’s so ridiculous is empathy is an evolutionary trait. It increases group fitness. Not that these psychos care about reality getting in the way of their shitty views.

          Its unfortunate that we (or our ancestors) have structured society and institutions in a way that rewards those traits. Makes one wonder when we would need to consider a restructuring of sorts.

            That was on purpose. Most revolutions (including the American revolution) have been coopted by elites who desire to have control over people.

      Gee, this Musk fellow seems more and more like a Nazi, eh?

        Worse, a Nazi on Ketamine, Mushrooms, Ecstacy and Adderall. Even Hitler was only on Meth and some type of barbiturate to help him sleep.

          While I’m perfectly ok with saying Musk is a Nazi, I think I’ll draw a line here. I don’t think Musk is worse than Hitler was. I know, I’m a radical thinker.

          But who knows – Musk still has some time in the race. But it does seem like his political contributions have come to an end.

          In this list, only Adderall might have negative effects on empathy. Ketamine is neutral. And Shrooms and MDMA would even increase empathy.

          There are edge cases ofcourse but the drugs themselves don’t mean much in terms of a change in empathy.

            The drug that has the most negative impact on empathy is money, and that is his primary addiction.

        I mean, it’s not like he did multiple Nazi salutes publicly, on-stage to celebrate the election of a fascist, racist president…
