Empathy

There is some evidence that empathy might be changing over time, and not necessarily in a good way. A lot of this decline happened pretty recently, sort of since the turn of the 20 first century. There's no way to run an experiment where you have history occur multiple times or fiddle with different pieces of it to see what causes a decline in ampathy. But certainly, you know, you can point to big s in the way that people live. We're becoming more urban and more solitary.
