  • Resumen

  • Is empathy always a virtue? Or is it just a smoke screen for narcissists?

    Join Kat as she delves into a provocative discussion with Dr. Barbara Oakley, exploring why 'empathy is not virtuous' can be a hard truth in today's society hell-bent on thin veneer of kindness.

    Unpacking the concept of pathological altruism, they uncover how well-meaning actions can sometimes lead to unintended harm, both personally and societally. From the dangers of extreme activism to the manipulative use of altruistic motives in totalitarian regimes, this conversation challenges our preconceptions and urges a re-evaluation of what it truly means to do good.

    This is a compelling exploration of how critical thinking and a balanced perspective on empathy can prevent kindness from turning into calamity.

    Uncover why understanding the pitfalls of unchecked empathy is crucial for genuinely beneficial actions, finishing with a powerful reminder: True kindness requires more than good intentions; it demands a clear-eyed view of the consequences.
