NO. Empathy requires information necessary to judge the difference between subsidy of free riding, parasitism, and predation vs incapacity, incompetence, or emergency. Empathy doesn’t scale because human interests and abilities don’t scale. The best we can achieve is meritocracy independent of subsidy of malincentives. At present the number of people on ‘benefits’ whether children, adult, or senior citizen is making every other investment nearly impossible. How many people are we subsidizing their bad behavior vs how many are we protecting from harm despite their good behavior. We can and do know these things. Because subsidy ‘baits people into the hazard of not changing their behavior to suit their needs.’
