Why empathy specifically? If it causes damage, then it's probably global
I'm "trying" to link it to the recent rise of fascism. And general breakdown of society.
You have a point though, a rise in stupidity is part and parcel of the same phenomenon.
I mean, we've seen plenty of authoritarianism and facism before plastic was invented, so that seems like a dubious notion
That's why this is in showerthoughts rather than science
recent rise of fascism
I'd look for the reasons to back when fascism has risen in the first place in early 20th century
