Do You Want to Help the Person Who Was Harmed by This?

Sally Kohn: Our emotions are not designed to be numerat, to take numbers into account. There's a very real sense in which saving a thousand people's lives is a thousand times better than saving one person's life. But research suggests that, if anything, saving a single person is more emotionally salient then saving a thousand. And so the challenge here is how do you take that pro social feeling and scale it up in a way, or line more with the scope of the need?
