Elon Musk: Shallow Empathy Lets Criminals Hurt More People

Elon Musk: Shallow empathy allows criminals to hurt more people.

“What I see is what I call shallow empathy. People have empathy for the criminals, but not empathy for the victims of the criminals.

I believe one should have deep empathy and ask, what is the greater good for society?

Is it better to incarcerate violent criminals, and prevent them from hurting people, or to let them loose and allow those people to be hurt? I think the latter is much worse.”
