Throughout the entire history of humanity, empathy has been shown to serve mankind by allowing us to raise decent children, treat others with respect, and generally make the world a better place. Plato said that empathy was the highest form of human knowledge. Elon Musk says empathy is Western Civilization's greatest weakness and attempts to prove it by showing zero empathy to those he harms.

G. Long and Deb take a look at empathy on this week's Long in the Boot Podcast.
