His definition of empathy is also wrong.
"Empathy is the ability to feel what someone else is feeling."
No, it's the ability to recognise what someone else is feeling.
Then later he changes the definition: “If you feel bad for someone who is bored, that’s sympathy,” writes Yale psychologist Paul Bloom in his brave and brilliant new book, Against Empathy: The Case for Rational Compassion, “but if you feel bored, that’s empathy.”
What a bullshit is that?
Also, if someone has more sympathy for Palestinians than Israelis, it's bad.
If an American has more sympathy for English people than Asians, it's good.
