I don't think humanity could have made it this far without empathy.

I'm picturing an image of the future wherein Empathy is decided to be a weakness, with logical coldness being the strength.

What kind of empathy? The world is bathed in affective empathy and dehumanization is rampant.

I think the world would be very fair with just cognitive empathy :)

While I was at the supermarket I had an idea for a setup with death millers and a jester. So I'll write that up when I get home.

Hi Kash

MMM Whatchya Say posted:

hmm, maybe. My problem with that plan is that once they figure out which cop is which, it's like having two cops. Maybe I'll make it a paranoid/naive cop alongside the sane one and have a coin flip before the game to determine which. I'm running this game as an open setup so JUST having an insane cop wouldn't work.

My favorite TV drama is the Simpsons it really gets what it means to be family and I appreciate that they only use a light sprinkling of humor to make these points.

Freddy Rumsen is a senior copywriter at Sterling Cooper who was forced to take a leave of absence after drunkenly urinating in his pants and then passing out right before an important meeting with the Samsonite luggage representatives
