This is a common issue with lesswrong posts. A good way to write a post would be:
what the post is about
primary argument
various details and secondary arguments
summary
references
Or even better, since brevity is a virtue:
what the post is about
primary argument
This post contains a lot of words and a lot of minor nitpicks about imperfections of empathy (versus which alternative exactly) but I don’t see any primary points? Posts about morality are especially prone to this, since every basis of morality including varieties of utilitarianism have some severe problems, so saying that empathy has them too means nothing.
