    People without empathy shouldn’t have the right to lead people (politics, work, …).

    There should be an upper limit to personal wealth.

    Russia should be denuclearised and split up.

      The inclusion of the phrase “have the right to” is what changes this statement from sensible to nonsense. We’d need a way to declare who has that right, and I cannot imagine any idea of an empathy certification board that is not horrifically dystopian.

        That’s a good point, but I still think my point is valid, even if we do not yet have the technology to make it happen.

      There’s a vast difference between capability for empathy (as in: feeling someone else’s feelings) and acting upon that feeling.

        What I want is people NOT acting because they have empathy. That IMO would already be an enormous step forward.

      Rationality and empathy are equally important. Blind empathy is just as capable of causing harm as a lack of empathy.

      The real issue is the relation one has/lacks with capital, not just individuals wealth.

      Balkanization typically leads to more violence and worse outcomes. For example, the current situation in eastern Europe is a result of the balkanization of the USSR. WW1 (and 2) were a result of the Balkanization of the Ottoman empire. The balkanization of India.

        Where did I say people without rationality should be elected lol.

        The individual wealth that can destabilise democracies is a problem. Do you not think so? If your solution fixes that I’m all on board.

        More violence in russia? Or more violence than russia trying to occupy europe again? I take the more violence in Russia because it will dtop one day, the uncheckef russian empire ambitions not so much.

      I agree, but the hard part is how. Splitting up Germany required winning a World War. The next World War will be nuclear. Mass starvation from nuclear winter will result in the death of the vast majority of humans. That’s too horrible a price to pay.

        We need to bloody russias nose, and break their economy IMO. And be there when the cracks form to ease the maneuver a much as possible.
