In this thought-provoking interview, we explore society’s detachment towards animals and the cost of selectively severing our empathy. Philosopher John Sanbonmatsu draws parallels between our treatment of other animals and the characteristics of psychopathy while highlighting our capacity to change through the transformative power of reconnecting with our inherent empathy. Topics include: the normalization of violence against other animals, the ethics of killing animals yourself (locavore movement), the healthy source of willful ignorance, cultural influences on selective empathy, how we perceive systemic violence vs aberrant sadistic individuals, a moving account of one farmer’s monumental shift in perspective, our capacity to change how we relate to animals by re-connecting with our empathy, and more! _____________________ ✧ Subscribe ✧ • Newsletter ( get a free eBook 📗): • Telegram:
