Reddit reviews Against Empathy: The Case for Rational Compassion

Here are some tips to get started:

• This funny and good presentation by Dan Ariely is a good start about human moral behavior (assuming you agree that climate change is a moral problem). There's also a book if you prefer that.
  
• Another important point are the limitations of human morality. A short read would be Paul Bloom's piece in the New Yorker. Again, there's also a book. See also the The Identifiable Victim Bias.
  
• A description of these and various other effects can be fund in George Marshall's "Don't even think about it" which is specifically about the psychology of climate change.
  
  Hope this helps.

I'm mostly shitposting, but it's not as radical as it seems.

I respectfully disagree.

I know this isn't exactly what you're saying, but just to share with you, in my opinion, having too much empathy causes people to make irrational decisions; it causes people to use poor judgment.

I would rather people be high in intelligence and low in empathy (but not nonexistant) than high in empathy and low in intelligence.
