Elon Musk wants to save Western civilization from empathy (edition.cnn.com)

"The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit,” Musk said. “There it’s they’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.”

Probably a lot of us are tired of Musks ramblings but I just thought this is clearly showing why he is so dangerous.

I think Musk may be more of a psychopath than Donald Trump, who is more of a narcissist but hopefully not a full blown maniac.

I never even heard of it before colleagues starting talking about how Musk is always on it... Nice influence...

It was in fashion then straight to obscure pretty quick as a recreational drug in the US. Probably due to the events that lead to the movie Party Monster. There is pretty good documentary on it and ketamine.

Ketamine did come back as a treatment for depression in the last decade or so, along with psilocybin, via microdosing. Which is what Musky says he does, and has a prescription for.

So he is depressed and talking about how empathy is bad for humanity...

These guys are so fucked up. :)
