Elon Musk wants to save Western civilization from empathy (edition.cnn.com)

"The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit,” Musk said. “There it’s they’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.”

Probably a lot of us are tired of Musks ramblings but I just thought this is clearly showing why he is so dangerous.

I think Musk may be more of a psychopath than Donald Trump, who is more of a narcissist but hopefully not a full blown maniac.

If you feel like you're a scummy asshole by the standards of the society you're in, you kind of have to convince yourself that it's the society that's wrong, so you can remain the hero of your own story, in your own head.

Nkw if you're on top of it a megalomaniac malignant narcissistic piece of crap with way more wealth than any human should ever have, you don't only convince yourself, you try to convince the whole world, and you try to change the very values of that society.

What a deeply fucking sick piece of barely human garbage.

I think this is spot on. These people all have some sort of reality distortion field where no matter what they do, they are always right.

Its dangerous when those guys get this kind of influence on the world and can easily lead go wars.
