I think Paul Bloom has a few good points, especially about extreme empathy and how it often damages the user.
Also, about policy making requiring more logic than empathy, considering the bias's we all have.
But I don't think he's brought anything new to the table.
I also don't think he's ever said that empathy brings about more immorality than non-empathy in general.
I think someone's reading between the lines.
It does strike me that non-empathetic people often can't stand to be wrong about anything. :-)
