Elon Musk opines that empathy is the greatest threat to western civilization.

I find this absolutely chilling. I can't off the top of my head think of a more evil thing to say. As far as I'm concerned, civilization is empathy. Civilization without empathy is a non-sequitur. Without empathy, you have a dog eat dog world. Hell on Earth.
I would feel sorry for some ineffectual schmuck who thought like this but when a powerful, influential person like Musk says it, I shudder. He has revealed himself as a very dangerous man. He seems to be getting worse and worse all the time.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
