empathy limits one’s ability to make money (in this economy)

Idk if there's any economy where greed and empathy work well together

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 1 points 17 minutes ago

I think it's possible (theoretical at least) that greed can be harnessed in specific ways to do good and even empathetic works; it's a potent motivator after all. IMO, there's likely a balance. But the overarching market and financial governance can't ever be on the side of greed for that to work. Otherwise, the people in power pull all the stops and the experiment is rendered moot.
