Beautiful post. Peter Singer has written that EAs use reason over empathy, but I think this post reminds us that while we deliberate with reason, we often need to motivate ourselves through empathy.
Thank you. For myself at least I don’t see it as reason over empathy, but a reasoned response to what empathy prompts.
I would consider empathy to be my core motivator, and reason to be my vehicle for doing as much good as I can in line with my empathy.
Great post, thank you for sharing.
