That sounds like you’ll actively try to lower the amount of empathy of the world—not just stop being as eager as before to try to increase it. Maybe we (or at least I) misunderstood you on that part.
I am more interested in lowering it—before, I had zero interest in lowering it, and now I have some interest, which is more than I had before. (Not nearly enough to make me do anything, but then, it’s not like I was actively trying to increase empathy before.)

So you still have some interest in trying to increase it? I think the way you’re phrasing your position above is throwing people off.
So, if you could increase world empathy by 1% by pushing one button, decrease it by 1% by pushing a second button, or do nothing, what would you do?
I don’t know. Probably nothing in lieu of additional evidence.
